Imagine if society were a program and laws, policies and procedures were its codebase. The scary thing is that the way it gets patched in reality isn't very different from the way agentic LLMs perform on actual codebases today. Bug in this department? Delete it. People abuse this system? Add more friction for legitimate users. Society has a need? Greenfield a feature that works great but doesn't fit in with existing systems at all. This didn't used to be so on the nose. I can't decide if we should welcome our new robot overlords or even what is a reflection of who anymore.
