- llmslave2 9mo agoRight, but the makers of the murder weapon aren't culpable. Or do you think a Microsoft exec should go to jail every time someone uses it to write a death threat?

- roywiggins 9mo agoThe hypothetical imagined hiring an intern to do a crime and supposed that this might make liability harder to determine. It doesn't!
- llmslave2 9mo agoAn intern is a human, unlike Microsoft Word or an LLM, which are tools/machines/etc.
- roywiggins 9mo agoAutomated DDOS-for-hire services are not legal either. They're tools/machines/etc, possibly running more or less autonomously. https://www.justice.gov/usao-ak/pr/federal-prosecutors-alaska-and-los-angeles-charge-6-defendants-operating-websites-offered https://www.justice.gov/usao-ak/pr/federal-prosecutors-alask...
