@agbuckley

I am not a lawyer.

My understanding (which may be wrong) is that there is already such a mechanism, referred to as "peeling back the corporate veil", which has been used in some cases that are very blatantly fraudulent. A court can simply say "nope, when you bought the company and loaded it with debt and then paid yourself the money and fucked off, you took the debt on yourself as a person rather than on the company, so it follows you."

It is not commonly used because it spooks investors: they are here to irresponsibly extract money, after all. If they think courts won't let them get away with that then they may not invest at all, and that would make capitalism sad.

I cannot say for certain whether or not this is true, because again not a lawyer. If there is one reading this, please correct me.

@timnitGebru @jonny it also reads like code if “no humans actually talked to each other or coordinated their work in any way”

As a product (and past project) manager I often tell people that the main job of real programmers is communicating with otber humans. The code is the easy part.

Deciding what the code should (and should not do) and coordinating everyone’s efforts is the hard stuff.

But also how you avoid everyone reinventing (badly) the same functionality and how you avoid crunches

@gwozniak @timnitGebru When you have to plead with your LLM to "pretend you're a superhero," or whatever it is people are doing these days, we've long gone through the looking glass.

We've been at the level of New Age crystal ooga booga nonsense for ages with this technology, it's insane anyone takes any of this seriously. I feel like I live inside an opium hallucination.
