So much for caring about the spirit of the law. Now we'll start an arms race for abusing every possible letter of the law.
It's analogous to crypto. Started from some noble anti-authoritarian ideas and morphed into machine that removes any friction for capital - whoever has the most money will keep gaining the most.
- jatora 16d agoDo you really think the law isn't already horribly abused? Democratization of law has been needed for a thousand years.
- xwkd 16d agoMaybe I’m misunderstanding, but isn’t that what legislators do?
- aaimnr 16d agoNow there will be even less friction to horribly abuse the law. To democratize the law we would need to move in the opposite direction - to always keep it simple and aligned with our intuitions. The more intricate and complex legal arguments become, the more abstracted they are from their original purpose and spirit. Hence the crypto analogy - it was also supposed to "democratize", but the opposite happaned - it only further empowered the most powerful. Imagine legal case so purposefully complex that only those with access to best models have chances to participate and win the dispute.

- wartywhoa23 16d agoIt's shoved down the world's throat from some central think-tank, despite the carefully constructed illusion of "deglobalization". Someone is very hell-bent on making the whole humankind plunge into this dystopia. A headline from Russia to consider: The Supreme Court approves the plan to deploy AI in Russian courts: the document states that by 2030, more than 95% of judges will have to use AI regularly. The risk matrix cites AI hallucinations and opposition from the judicial community. https://www.rbc.ru/technology_and_media/15/09/2026/6aa8e03421f80289f2f2a8ab https://www.rbc.ru/technology_and_media/15/09/2026/6aa8e0342...
