Killing all the Lawyers

About this episode

This episode explores the misinterpretation of Shakespeare's quote about lawyers and its implications in the context of AI and technology's impact on legal systems.

Shakespeare's 'let's kill all the lawyers' is commonly misread as anti-lawyer sentiment. The correct interpretation recognises that eliminating lawyers represents a prerequisite for tyranny. This podcast examines that insight through two contemporary phenomena: artificial intelligence's potential to displace legal professionals, and technology oligarchs' systematic efforts to subvert legal constraints on their power
