in that case, legal cases would just come down to who has more compute lol. Many times cases win on their merits, but we've also seen evidence where overwhelming legal pressure can influence cases.

bigger spender already has a huge advantage, up to millions of dollars

this is more likely to democratize the legal system by reducing the cost of a good legal team


May I just note that there are other jurisdictions on this planet that are less money-biased than than the US one but will be disrupted by law-LLMs as well?

It seems much more probable to me that these LLMs will make good things worse than that they will make bad things better.


Everywhere a good lawyer costs a lot of money.

I'd kill for an AI that can tell me how to fix shit on my own, with proper permitting and building codes factored in.

I used ChatGPT the other day to resink a CPU with termal paste, replace a PSU in my PC and snake my kitchen sink from the wall. I didn't exactly need it's help but wanted someone looking over my shoulder so to speak. It can help you repair all types of stuff, but as far as county / building codes and such, that probably isn't far off. It seems to understand things quite well.

at what point do we call this a game instead of economics? whats the benefit to society if the markets are just AI bots trying to out-maneuver one another?

> benefit to society

Guess what high-frequency trading is.

Providing liquidity?

Stealing?

I think it's widely recognized to be a game. Humans love games so it's OK

I somewhat disagree. we still need humans to provide direction and context and expanded the concept of... well everything. But we will certainly need less of them. AI will afford the ability to more quickly disseminate state-of-the-art. As soon as a breakthrough is discovered, you no longer need to read 300 whitepapers to hopefully stumble upon it, AI will identify relevancy quicker.

AI didnt break through stavier-nokes until a human set the initial direction. That's not going to change.


>AI didnt break through stavier-nokes until a human set the initial direction. That's not going to change.

That's not what happened. There was no 'initial direction' to set because OpenAI didn't know whatever tristan et al were working on or what direction they took. They heard rumors thta navier stokes was solved and set their best model on it.


>AI didnt break through stavier-nokes until a human set the initial direction. That's not going to change.

Why isn't this going to change?

Right now it's easy to see why don't set AI lose on every problem, someone human or AI has to delegate rare resources between competing interests. But if we look at general compute it was no different in the past. In 1980 you had to ask for permission to get CPU compute time. In 2026 you run it on your own computer, or maybe pay for it on Amazon. The constraints are much different.

If we keep pumping out chips and increasing efficieny someone will just make the LLM into an agentic loop (build the harness in) and set it lose on problems.


Model collapse

If you solve it then yes humans are toast mental usefulness wise


Models have been trained on synthetic inputs for over a year now. Collapse only happens in very specific circumstances, it's not a limit in practice.

Model collapse as an insurmountable wall is a fiction dreamed up by Luddites, actual frontier labs understand the failure mode and avoid it.

It’s like asking why we don’t just run all the programs instead of making users decide what to run. There’s an infinite number of problems that could be solved, and the question of which ones are important to solve is a question about us and what we want.

(minor nitpick, but it’s “Navier–Stokes”)

consensus is easy. its that people want to not pay taxes and still use public infrastructure anyway. thats the real theft.

and on the other hand we have trillionaires who spend their wealth on fascist party propaganda and censorship

What will they think of next? tying healthcare to employment that you lose the moment you get fired to meet quarterly profits? Madness i tell you!

The fascism we CURRENTLY HAVE is far more preferable

Hegseth's military had woefully outdated intelligence. And because he's a news host and NOT a war chief, he ended up ordering the destruction of a school full of girls so they could distract the news from the epstein files.

Your claim is that hegseth directed the US Navy to launch an attack on a building it knew to be a school full of kids for the negative headlines, because those negative headlines would distract from the Epstein files outrage?

No no no, they didn't know that it was a school because they're incompetent, but ALSO knew it was as school because they're evil.

You seem to be confusing everyone's stances (incompetence vs malice). Some people in this thread believe it was incompetence and therefore not a war crime, and others believe it was malicious and therefore a war crime. I personally don't think stupidity is a good legal defense but what do I know.

I fully support eurovision-based enrollment tbh
