Lawyers should be able to read a statute as it stood on any date and see which law wrote each phrase. A history of nine titles of the US Code, built by replaying every amendment, as the example.

Random Tech Thoughts
This article is about standardisation, particularly how it relates to understanding code. I’ll first go into an historical example that highlights the lack of standardisation in an area where we take it for granted today. After that I’ll get into code, and how understanding code is like understanding data via visualisations. In both the historic … Continue reading Standardisation and code
Directing large language models to follow the letter or spirit of the law
The distinction between the spirit and letter of the law is a central issue across research and everyday life, and a growing concern for building safe, intelligent machines. What is this distinction based on, and how can we develop machines that follow the intention behind a rule? We used targeted adaptation that made large language models prioritize the spirit or letter of the law. With minimal modifications, our method significantly changed LLM behavior across diverse measures, novel vignettes, real-world scenarios, and influential legal cases. An analysis of model internals revealed a low-dimensional space with three interpretable dimensions matching a formal pre-specified framework for the geometry of legal concepts. These findings show how legal thought in LLMs may be organized and directed.
