It's literally a plot point in multiple Robocop movies that he has to have the legal immunity of the ruling class literally programmed into him.

I don't think he's suggesting that the computer would be put in charge, just that it would be able to look up and learn all the laws, find one you've broken, and report you. Yudkowsky is overlooking the fact that this would then require the police to give a poo poo and actually do something about it, the prosecutor to consider it a worthwhile use of resources, and the whole thing to go before a court and not get thrown out as a waste of everyone's time. Like, you can call up the police and tell them your neighbour cut a $20 note in half or swore on a train, and a hypothetical AI could also do that, but in both cases the police will not do anything about it.

That's what I was trying to get at. Yud's assuming that the entire legal system will devote itself to enacting the Robot King's will, which is a pretty big assumption

Yes the ai (actually the llm’s) have so far proved quite adept at helping in the legal profession.

I wonder what he imagines is actually in the “entire legal code”, because maybe it’s the way he lives his life that makes it hard to follow the law but I don’t think it’s full of gotchas just waiting to be weaponised or we’d definitely see that being abused already.

He doesn't know how code works, he doesn't know how anything works, he's just an "ideas guy" for ai.

The very last thing Americans need to worry about is our government giving up law enforcement authority from partisan elected officials and appointees to some hypothetical impartial entity

watch with knife hands


Kind of the plot of one of the books in a German 70s YA science fiction series ("Mark Brandis"), in which they put a computer in charge of the legal system. Everyone's happy about it at first, including the protagonist, until it shockingly turns out that the human factor might be important, the protagonist is arrested and goes through a lengthy show trial, etc, in the end they manage to shut it down.

This is the same series that had such outlandish ideas as an Multinational Western vs China space race, in which a racist South African is saved by the Black crew member after handing him over to the enemy, making him rethink his convictions, and "What if we dumped our nuclear waste into Kilimanjaro? What could poss-- oh, it erupted, killing a lot of people."

e: hell, the first four books are about overthrowing Modern Hitler and his clone army. A Congolese engineer, the protagonist's best friend, is pivotal here, too.

He already went on fox news about it, would you believe the full documents actually exonerate him? Oh there are no pages that show that? Clearly those were deliberately withheld. The public needs to see complete unredacted documents including the witness and victim names.

It's a matter of public record Dersh both corresponded with law enforcement to try and poison the well during the first Epstein case and also would send PIs to harass Epstein's victims. This harassment included impersonating cops and implying that they'd be in legal trouble for failing to cooperate.

Oh, you adorable idealist. There are many crimes the police don't even bother to investigate. This isn't just white collar crimes, it's simple thefts, rape, domestic abuse, and anything the cop on the desk didn't care about. In San Francisco they often can't be bothered to investigate car theft.

In any case, Yudkowsky is assuming the multiple codes of the US, the state, the county, and the towns, are complete and computable. He's wrong. Apart from the whole Gödel thing, laws often contradict each other. And there's a lot of crusty stuff in the judicial code that is dead and never enforced. There are states where adultery is still illegal IIRC.
