I'm not sure: if you know that LLMs are prone to crime, using them and not checking in enough to trigger 'knowingly' might be gross negligence?

- paranoidrobot 2mo agoDefine crime though, because one particular action could be both a crime and not, depending on a range of factors that the LLM might not be aware of. Even having a million legal experts on call weighing in on every prompt/response will not agree on everything. Even things like "go and break into this system, use whatever means you need to" might not be a crime.

- dragonwriter 2mo agoLegal responsibility can be in forms (e.g., civil tort liability) other than criminal.
- dragonwriter 2mo agoIn the scale of mental states in crime, negligence of any kind is several steps below knowing/intentional; you can't be liable for an intentional crime because of mere negligence of any degree. You could be liable for the (civil) tort of negligence, though.
