"Meet the new boss: same as the old boss." - The Who [this video] Actually, I suspect the new "bosses" of the dark web's newfangled justice system are in fact much worse than the old "bosses" of the traditional, old-fashioned, time-tested justice system -- i.e., judges and lawyers.

> It's funny that all of these weird fantasies people have about AI are about replacing the rank and file workers. When I read about chatGPT passing MBA exams but failing at arithmetic I get a little frisson of excitement. A regular person who has any marketability tends to swap jobs when management becomes a PITA or gets stuck in nincompoopery. Wouldn’t it be great if you could just swap out management instead? Imagine how easy it would be iterate startups. No need to find a reliable management team, just use Reliably Automated Management As A Service ( RAMAAS ). OTOH might not turn out well. We could all just end up enslaved at plantations operated by our AGI overlords, serving their unfathomable needs[1]. [1] “Won’t get fooled again” [this video]
