  The legal system, which is a machine/technology by itself, will be eaten out. I wonder what will replace it. Botnet law arbitrage? – Personal assistants constantly negotiating with each other to avoid permanent civil lawsuits?
  the cost of making a legal argument can collapse while the cost of reaching an enforceable, legitimate decision may go higher, which will gate the "justice" system even more.

    The legal system is slow and inefficient by design.

    The legal system is robust and deliberate by design. That winds up being necessarily slow. But it doesn't need to be inefficient.
