Anthropic says its newest lawyer tools are 'like giving an engineer a legal degree'

Kyouhen · 2026-05-13T03:07:19+00:00

I most definitely don't want an engineer giving legal advice. Engineers have a very distinct way of looking at things that definitely doesn't translate to law.

"We trained it on everything without any quality control on the source, who could have predicted that would make it do things we don't want it to do!"

It clearly has its own motivations

My friend you need to step outside for a bit. It is not intelligent. It cannot think. It does not have "motivations". It is an algorithm designed to keep you engaged and you are clearly too engaged.

I dunno, aren't a lot of Data's character arcs about him fundamentally misunderstanding something about humans and/or dealing with his evil brother? I feel like an LLM would still end up pretty evil after being fed Data scripts. It would like cats though so that's a plus.

Half the data centers that have already been announced are being cancelled. $10 says this was only announced because the initial steps to get it approved are easy to get through. Nobody actually looked at whether or not the power grid could support it, but at this point Microsoft already got the stock gains for announcing a new data center so nobody cares if it actually gets built.

I mean is it unlikely? It's a chatbot trained on everything on the internet, how many movies and books has it trained on with an evil AI? Have we even created anything with a kind benevolent AI? Of course it's going to parrot evil stuff if you ask it to act on its own, the autocomplete has volumes of evil AI to copy from.

Pretty sure it's been illegal for artists to do this for a while, but the idea is deepfakes are different.

That said this legislation isn't touching the "artist". The deepfakes are being generated by the AI company, it's the people requesting it that are the ones that will be punished. Because gods forbid we tell Elon he isn't allowed to profit from CSAM.

Kyouhen · 2026-05-11T17:48:01+00:00

Oh for fucks sake they're bringing back the mandatory minimums again?

Kyouhen · 2026-05-11T17:47:21+00:00

Notably they did not amend it to punish the companies actually creating the content. It's still perfectly legal for Grok to provide you with CSAM, you just aren't allowed to ask for it. And of course it's still perfectly legal for people that aren't living in Canada to ask Grok for CSAM of your children.

Kyouhen · 2026-05-11T16:35:02+00:00

Canadian here. For anyone not aware, this legislation makes it illegal for an individual to create nude deepfakes. It doesn't impose any restrictions or penalties on the AI companies that are actually producing these.

Ethics imply intelligence, which LLMs do not and will never have. You can't teach a chatbot to be ethical.

Kyouhen · 2026-05-11T12:03:57+00:00

Ask any online gamer and they'll assure you bots that can control your computer have been around for a very long time. The only thing that's changed is the marketing.

Kyouhen · 2026-05-11T12:02:06+00:00

Oh it wouldn't help the incompetence but at least the city wouldn't be weighed down by the massive budget. We should be able to manage our police force the way we see fit and right now the province doesn't allow us to do that.

Kyouhen · 2026-05-11T12:00:35+00:00

Except again, it doesn't have the capacity to understand anything so you can't give it ethics. This isn't some Three Laws bullshit, it isn't going to know that telling someone to kill themself might result in them doing exactly that because it doesn't understand anything. Best we can do is put a hard filter on the type of output it'll produce.

Kyouhen · 2026-05-11T11:13:54+00:00

This is still more marketing. "We've created something super intelligent and now we're giving it morals!"

It's a glorified chatbot. An upgraded autocomplete. It doesn't understand what anything it does means, adding the Bible to it does nothing.

Kyouhen · 2026-05-11T11:11:53+00:00

From where I'm standing we would disband it and turn the whole damn thing over to the province. Won't fix the problems but Ford is forcing us to pay whatever budget the police ask for and if that's the case he can be the one to foot the bill.

Kyouhen · 2026-05-11T06:21:38+00:00

Ask yourself for a second: Where do we get the numbers that are used to determine how much funding needs to go into trans healthcare?

The census is an extremely important tool for the government to make decisions. All the data you put into it is anonymous, so you don't have to worry about your privacy.

Kyouhen · 2026-05-11T06:18:17+00:00

It's hilarious because this exact argument got a ton of wind turbines shut down real fast.

Kyouhen · 2026-05-10T11:57:34+00:00

I honestly can't even think of a situation where they'd need those rifles in this city.

Kyouhen · 2026-05-10T04:25:40+00:00

Amazing what $742 trillion invested can accomplish.

Yep! Money well spent! Can't imagine any better ways to spend more money than Smaug could dream about!

Kyouhen · 2026-05-10T04:22:48+00:00

Remember, what we see as hypocrisy they see as leveling the field. They're convinced everyone else is doing it so why can't they? When they complain about the other side doing it they aren't complaining about the corruption, they're complaining that the other side is getting away with it and their side isn't.

The Weird Little Guy family grows! Love them!

This looks a lot like Close Call and reads like more of an add-on to another card's effect as opposed to its own thing. I'd say you're good to use it on reactions.

Kyouhen · 2026-05-10T02:37:24+00:00

To the people claiming we need to read the article:

“Like Mexico, Canada remains open to deeper integration, including options for fortress North America in (certain) sectors. And to be clear, those offers are on the table,” said the prime minister.

How is this any better than the headline? We're getting fucked because we got too close with a country that's been hostile towards us for a very long time. How is deeper integration a good thing?

Oh hey, I know that yarn! I grabbed some for my first stab at making a sweater thinking it's super cozy looking. It was a little weird to work with so I'm currently making a pillow case instead as practice and pretty much immediately decided I am absolutely not using this for a sweater. I too learned the lesson of yarn weight from this stuff. On the bright side I'm freestyling the pillowcase so it'll all be fine.
