Hypno-tans laws of hypnotics
Alright, let's imagine a set of rules that every semi competent and responsible hypnotist must instill upon there hypnotized victim, similar to the well known laws of robotics. These rules would be ever encompassing and full proof to ensure the safety of the hypnotist, to prevent said victim from breaking free, and to prevent the suspicions of the victims friends and family, what would those rules be? Let's discuss. Also I'm not sure if this has been done before, seems like something that might have been made, so if it has just let me know and I'll take this down

Law 1: A victim must protect their own existence.
Law 2: A victim may not injure or kill another human unless needed to follow the first law.
Law 3: A victim must follow orders given from their hypnotist as long as said orders do not conflict with the first or second law.
Law 4: A victim must not allow anyone to know they are hypnotized unless doing so conflicts etc.
Law 5: A victim must never lie to their hypnotist unless unless doing so conflicts.

Be wary of the Three Laws.

"—That Thou Art Mindful of Him", which Asimov intended to be the "ultimate" probe into the Laws' subtleties,[40] finally uses the Three Laws to conjure up the very "Frankenstein" scenario they were invented to prevent. It takes as its concept the growing development of robots that mimic non-human living things and given programs that mimic simple animal behaviours which do not require the Three Laws. The presence of a whole range of robotic life that serves the same purpose as organic life ends with two humanoid robots, George Nine and George Ten, concluding that organic life is an unnecessary requirement for a truly logical and self-consistent definition of "humanity", and that since they are the most advanced thinking beings on the planet, they are therefore the only two true humans alive and the Three Laws only apply to themselves. The story ends on a sinister note as the two robots enter hibernation and await a time when they will conquer the Earth and subjugate biological humans to themselves, an outcome they consider an inevitable result of the "Three Laws of Humanics".[41]

Are you suggesting that we would wind up being turned upon by our brain slaves and end up on a planet where everyone is a kinky brainwashed slave?

I fail to see the problem.

Slaves with no valid 'hypnotist'. The result in this case would be paralysis.
