• “> But "superintelligence that can casually hack government services while solving puzzles" is a completely new problem and of course crime codes don't cover it Of course they do. An LLM, an AI is a tool, and there are clear rules about culpability. Do you seriously think the law has never considered that someone or some tool might commit a crime on behalf of someone else? Of course, such punishments are not being applied here. Just like copyright isn't being applied.”

• “>Oh wait, let's just look it up You folks have some weird beliefs about the world and of course it always leads to conspirology. Usually you need to have intent to be accused (depends on the crime though, crimes of omission exist too). If you wrote a virus that causes damage it is a crime, if you wrote a bot crawler that accidentally DDoS'ed some company it is likely a civil case. And a virus is a tool that serves a specific purpose, like you can't say to a judge that a functional machine gun you made in your basement is a paperweight. But "superintelligence that can casually hack government services while solving puzzles" is a completely new problem and of course crime codes don't cover it. What will be next? I hope AI tech lobby loses and "accidental AI hacking" will be criminalized.”
