Limited liability is an extension of the function of insurer of last resort to investments, so that individuals can take risks limited to the invested capital unless they engage in fraud. The problem with corporations is that the state has usurped our ability to sue them for impositions of costs on the various commons. This is a simple fix to rule of law.

Limited Liability Is Fine. It”s Loss of Standing in The Commons that Is the Problem

I understand the primacy of violence and law because I understand that there are many men like me, who are quite capable of predation, organizing predation at scale, and enjoying a life of predation – if not for arbitrary reasons for choosing production.
There is a lot of evil in this world and never forget for a moment that any presumption of safety exists only because of a long line of men between you and the hordes.

Debt Relationships Are the Sources of Duties
by Zachary Miller Relationships between persons are the sources of a person’s duties. A parent has duties to a child by virtue of their natural relationship to one another. And the adult is identified as a parent by virtue of their duties to the child, as people are rather defined by their duties to others. A debtor similarly has duties to a creditor by virtue of their relationship in contract. And the debtor is defined by his duty to pay his debts. And a tortfeasor has duties to his victim by virtue of their relationship in tort. And the tortfeasor is defined by his duty to make restitution.

Ethical Ai? Yes Its Solvable and Trivially so
1) Ethical AI is a trivially solvable problem in (a) hardware (b) software design (c) requirement of insurance, and (d) extremely harsh punishment of violations of that law, applied to every person in the chain of decidability. (d) international treaty. 2) We have solved this problem for thousands of years among humans with one single rule. All civilizations and all law is based upon that one rule. That politicians, philosophers and theologians ‘skirt’ that rule does not mean we cannot apply it to software. 3) There is nothing ethical or moral about war. That war exists defines the limit of ethics and morality. There will be killing machines just as there are machine guns and nuclear weapons, and the first people to invent them will dominate war, politics, economics, for a century. 4) The military incentive always DEFINES the political order. Not the other way around. You cannot stop this technology. This tech means greatest manufacturing capacity and engineering capacity will dominate all future wars – and therefore politics and therefore economics. 5) However, it is entirely possible to protect citizens from criminal uses the same way we do from nuclear weapons. However, the cost of AI will be in the billions today and dependent on vast infrastructure. But this price will decrease while the cost of refining n-weapons won’t.
