Police are a monopoly; nobody has a choice about which police company to use. McDonalds are not a monopoly, and many customers would prefer to eat at competitors run by entities that could be sued or jailed if they did anything particularly egregious.
The same intuition applies if you walk into McDonald's and a person there mistreats you. You want that person held responsible.
But the LLM is not a person. What is there to even sue? It just seems like it would simply pass through to the corporate entity without the same tension of feeling like we let a human get away with something. Because there is no human, just a corporation and the robot servicing the place.
Put another way - if the LLM is not a person, what is the advantage of a personal lawsuit?
Just sue the McDonalds. Even in a case where the LLM is extremely misaligned and acts in a way where you might normally personally sue the McDonald's employee, I'm just not sure the human intuition about "holding someone accountable" would have its normal force because again - the LLM is not a person.
So given we already have the notions of incorporation and indemnification it doesn't make sense to say what is precluding LLMs from running McDonald's is they can't be sued. If McDonald's can still be sued, then not only is there no problem, there is very likely not even a change in the status quo.
The purpose of qualified immunity is for when an officer does something that turns out to be illegal but they were both told to by their superiors and did not think it was in violation at the time.
An officer making a choice to violate your rights would not be eligible for qualified immunity.
Excellent standards for people authorized by the state to run around with a badge and a gun in a free society. Your comment history on this is so unimpressive. Would you countenance the same excuses in anyone else? A man puts on his police uniform and suddenly you think he should be immune from civil prosecution because "my boss told me so" and "I didn't know"?
I wonder if you will make similar excuses for robo cop. Or if your principles merely extend to whatever human you can find in uniform willing to tolerate your friendship.
Plus, qualified immunity is only for civil precedings. Individual officers are still liable for any criminal actions they take. I see a lot of people say that some officer should be in jail and blame qualified immunity when those two things are not related at all.
I'm not arguing, at all, that police should be immune to prosecution individually. I'm trying to make the point that, if you are trying to hold police individually accountable for their _criminal_ actions, qualified immunity isn't the thing that's preventing that. There's a whole legal system and union/police culture that's responsible for that.
Qualified immunity is thrown around so much in contexts where it makes it clear that people don't understand what it means and gets used, as it was in your comment, as a bogey man that's to blame for all the times police get let off the hook for their misbehavior. All I'm trying to do when correcting you (and others) about qualified immunity is to both redirect your anger and effort into changing something that will actually make a difference and/or prevent you from spending the mental or physical energy chasing a dead end.
