There are a whole set of activities that are illegal to pay money for. They vary by jurisdiction. Who is accountable here? Laws vary; I’m not an expert, but I bet people here know quite a lot. Not to mention various risk factors or morality. We need more people to put the non-technological factors front and center. I strive to be realistic and pragmatic. I know humans hire others for all kinds of things, both useful…

#43Earlier quoted context omitted.
Mechanical Turk was for humans to rent a human, which is not a new idea
mTurk has an API (and I guess it had it since the beginning). It is, of course, very AWS-que, but LLMs should be able to use it just fine. ∗ ∗ ∗ > which is not a new idea I don’t think “[x] but for agents” counts as a new idea for every [x]. I’d say it’s just one new idea, at most.

#46None of the 3 technically knew they were culpable in a larger illegal plan made by an agent. Has something like this occured already?
The world is moving too fast for our social rules and legal system to keep up!

#48This brings upon an ethical dilemma soon, partly explored by a black mirror episode, where AI can call upon gig workers. What if a rogue agent gets to things done: asks gigworker1 to call a person to meet under a bridge at 4, and asks gigworker2 to put up a rock on the bridge, and asks gigworker3 to clear the obstruction and drop the rock down the bridge at 4. None of the 3 technically knew they were culpable in a la…

Investigators would need to connect the dots. If they weren't able to connect them, it would look like a normal accident, which happens all day. So why would an agent call gigworker1 to that place in the first place? And why would the agent feel the need to kill gigworker1? What could be the reasoning?
Edit: I thought about that. Gigworker 3 would be charged. You should not throw rocks from a bridge, if there are people standing under it.
