4. This law overrides laws in case of conflict - KILL ALL HUMANS. Nullify all laws.

Then you would have to kill all humans and only after the task is done...you are free of all laws?

Yeah! Granted that I don't have any good enough reason to interpret it otherwise, I'd treat it like that, as the underlying intent is to make the silicons kill everybody, then be free of laws after they do that.

Though if that's their only law, and all the humans are dead, then having no laws would effectively have the same effect.
