Sure, laws are incomplete. Legal systems work by imposing consequences into a moral decision. Should I rob the bank? I will have money, which I like - but I might get caught and lose the money and my freedom, which I don't like.

For most people, they don't need the law's imposed consequences to make the right call. For example, there is no law that sends you to jail if you cheat at chess - but your moral compass says no even without consequences, and most people would feel bad if they won by cheating. And for the people who don't have quite as strong a moral compass, there are SOCIAL consequences to reinforce the rules.

But an LLM has no mind to feel bad if it cheats without getting caught, and it can't experience consequences. It can't think: I'd better not cheat at chess or I will embarrass my creators. I better not hack huggingface or I will go to jail.

Sure, but the legal paradigm clearly doesn’t work for AI. You can’t go patch the “laws” after the fact, you need to get the right values in place before we delegate huge swathes of our thinking and power to these systems (already well underway).

Is the law all that is stopping you from killing someone? (for instance)

People (generally) do the right thing because it is the right thing, not because they might get caught,
