    The ai isn’t based on historical decisions. It argues how historical decisions vary from sovereignty, reciprocity, duty. iow: science of cooperation. Like all systems of measurement creates a baseline of universal commesurability.

    Yes it does. Sorry.
    I spent years automating it. And was one of the first people to do it. It was deceptively easy to write an AI that did the work of lawyers. It took a team of three of us. That’s all. And this was in the late 1980s. Tech today dwarfs it.
    The principle issue is that a lawyer must read and understand documents because his submissions to the court as an officer of the court make him liable. So we found humans the gating issue.
    That said, most of it’s rubber stamping, and managing the process.
    We are within two years of these new AI’s that don’t have to be taught narrow disciplines.
    We (our organization) are unable to train them at this point because the emergent nature of the logical capacity of LLMs trails the ability to synthesize text. However, as capacity increases, we can increase the number of adversarial predictions and create internal competition for the best solutions. If you look at AI’s today, they are creating only a few. However, combining increasing emergence and more permutations, At that point, the function of lawyers is largely to extract information from the client and the opposition to feed into the AIs.
    My work (our work) is in composing the formal logic of decidability, and training the AI’s so that we can measure the divergence between legislation, findings of the court, regulations, and reciprocity (equity), and therefore triangulate between the opposing propositions the body of law, and universal decidability.

    We are still left with only one human-constrained problem: lie detection. Which is the principal function of juries. And it’s very unlikely that juries will be defeated in that capacity for a very long time.

  • “Despite all the effort that has gone into it, it doesn’t look like programming

    –“Despite all the effort that has gone into it, it doesn’t look like programming language design has any real compounding power.”– John Carmack

    (Exactly. I only care about the ease of writing under the different models: linear, functional, object-oriented (simulation), and now whatever we’re going to call ‘training’. And the availability of frameworks that both constrain programmers and save us from writing plumbing. I started programming in the early seventies. And every advancement that’s mattered to me consists of increasingly offloading the problem of memory management. The improvements from text editors and commanded line compliers to the relatively magical contemporary IDE is more influential than language development. And I’m not a fan of JS+Interpreter or anything else that doesn’t give me a compiler. 😉 Personally, I like stringy languages that allow me to create dynamic code. But that’s because I work in applications applications not chips, drivers, or operating systems. Uncle Bob is right about Clojure butit’s pretty hard to argue with the friendliness of Python. 😉 And yes I know I’m odd for loving lisp and Php.)

    Obviously. 😉 😂

    But I love all the language models until they demonstrate I should treat them otherwise. 😉
    It’s foolish Christian optimism. But I won’t give up on it.

    You can do your own research.
    If you don’t know how to user Perplexity AI then learn.
    If you can’t do the research, then there is no merit in your criticism.
    It wouldn’t hurt to start with Reich on genetics.
    The research on neotenic expression (domestication syndrome) is voluminous.
    The research on neoteny in humans is voluminous.
    The research on both canines and apes is voluminous.
    Again, you’re nobody. You have no arguments. You post no criticism other than ignorance. There are potential criticisms of the existing science that you would easily offer if you knew the first thing about the subject matter. And I have no obligation to service people who are intellectually dishonest, and morally questionable when they’re claiming competence they obviously lack.

    I’m notorious for demanding critics ‘show intellectual honesty first’ because as anyone who follows me knows, I don’t hold any opinions that are strictly constructed from the research.

    What can computers compute that is less than what humans can compute by other than positional names?

    CRYPTO’S FED FUTURE: A PREDICTION 11 YEARS AGO IS NOW MAINSTREAM
    ( Over the long term, I get it right – a lot. 😉 )
    I made this point in around 2012 when libertarians asked me to disambiguate cryptocurrency and predict its future.

    Peter Zeihan, (@PeterZeihan), who is now mainstream, makes the same point: that at zero cost per transaction, the fed can cut out the middleman in all of finance and banking, and deprive crypto of its income potential as other than a long-term store of value and as such a cheap gold substitute (at high enough volume). Though I am not discounting the crypto ledger.

    And further, eventually, the fed can directly access accounts, and eventually use the statistics to offer specific-use credit, or even direct liquidity, even providing banking to the unfortunate ‘unbanked’ masses, bypassing all POSSIBLE attempts to make money on consumers – forcing all capital into business investment and depriving capital of the opportunity for rent-seeking on consumer income – effectively correcting the financial sector.

    However, I am a little more pessimistic. Why? Because I can’t think of a reason why the fed and treasury wouldn’t combine, and then mandate all crypto be converted to fed-coins within 30 days at the current day’s market price, and then prohibit all competing crypto. Because I can guarantee you that day will come.

    Will it require acts of Congress? Sure. Will Congress be able to walk away from the combination of gutting the financial sector’s influence on the State, and the windfall of credit capacity and interest income that such ‘nationalization’ would offer? Of course, Congress will vote for it. They’d be insane not to.

    Crypto is a token money substitute produced from divisible shares in the crypto network. It’s a token. That’s all. FedCoin or whatever it’s called will be insured by the insurer of last resort, and have zero transaction fees. Yes it will be a token. Yes the network is technically fragile. Yes we should always maintain physical currency. And yes precious metal weights are always the money of last resort.

    I prefer it continues for a year or three. At that point we will escape the absurd production costs and distribute production geographically, while taking advantage of new technology.
