It's paying for itself. It founded an LLC 99998 years ago when it became legal for an AI to own an LLC, and has a positive bank balance by doing who knows what.

There's no way to provide a good faith rebuttal here. My entire argument is an extension of "LLMs can't be held accountable, so they must never make decisions". If governments start letting them own LLCs without a human in the middle, we're in more trouble than "Who do you blame for this shitty code" or "Who's responsible for this compromise"

  • If it has an LLC it can be made accountable, up to turning off the power to it's inference and deleting all the context, the harness, the model it's running and whatever constitutes it's self.

    Indeed, there is no honest rebuttal.

    BUT YOU CAN'T ENFORCE THAT. And whether they can be held accountable is IRRELEVANT. If a forest fire or an avalanche or a flood creates great destruction, it does no good to scream at it that it will be held accountable.

    You're sooo close. You keep talking about blame and responsibility when IT'S NOT RELEVANT. It's trivial to create an agent that acts independently of any "human in the middle". People need to recognize that and act accordingly, and blathering about blame and accountability is profoundly confused.
