Firms have discovered that if they classified workers as contractors instead of employees they could pay less, so they’ve kept doing that, a lot, to the degree that it’s deforming our social structure. Rich malefactors like Harvey Weinstein have known for a long time that they can overload the justice system by throwing money at it, like an AI that’s discovered that the most efficient way to stay out of jail is simply to donate to Cy Vance, rather than avoid committing crimes.
Meanwhile, cops create bullshit crimes by poor people just to please the computers — leading to nearly a million unjustified charges in New York alone.
The FBI does pretty much the same thing, and has accidentally become the country’s central source of terror plots, according to Human Rights Watch.
We’re supposed to be incentivizing the creation and distribution of useful goods. Instead, we’ve incentivized the creation of giant mind-control machines for sale to the highest bidder because that was more efficient. Whoops!

Uber found a hole in taxi regulations (they just took “cab” out of the name), Airbnb in hotels. Facebook emerged like Athena from a gap in Harvard’s data security.
Maybe the problems are too many and badly written regulations and not AI, Society, or economic liberty who try to circumvent bullshit regulations?
The racial gap in incarceration rates has exploded since the Civil Rights Act.
As did singlemotherhood and child abuse within black communities since the 1960...
Both of which are known to increase the likelihood of a child growing up to become a criminal. According to a research paper by the U.S. Department of justice (source: https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles/172210.pdf)
"Seventy percent of youths in State institutions are from fatherless homes."
"Eighty-five percent of rapists motivated by displaced anger are from fatherless homes"
and the single worst person in the country as president.
Yeah, article seems a bit biased.
Donald Trump, who seems to be speedrunning American democracy, is like a living, breathing cheat code, proceeding through life by shortcuts alone. But if Trump represents a terminal failure of this system, it’s because he is a solution, and the easiest one in our current environment. He reminds me of another one of Shane’s examples: A program that, told to sort a list of numbers, simply deleted them. Nothing left to sort.
Or even very biased. Makes some interesting points about how machine learning may glitch or cheat and then uses that to make heavily biased rants about stuff they personally dislike. Just because you don't like republicans they are not a "glitch".

I'm not certain what you're saying or how it relates to anything I wrote. Anytime you interfere with the free market you open up the possibility of abuse, like Wal-Mart paying their employees less by having half of them on food stamps.
The less you regulate the economic liberty of citizens, the less room for abuse there will be.

It's a slight bit of irony/sarcasm about politicians not ever using the equivalent of cheat codes if they could get away with it.
"The less you regulate the economic liberty of citizens, the less room for abuse there will be."
hmmm, so how do you feel about the example of price gouging?

Not that they would ever exploit undocumented cheat codes in society
Never ever.
