Agreed. Six months ago, it was basically a gloried grammarly. But lately, I’ve been taking hints from the “company brain” models, where it develops a running model of the case, and assesses each new piece as it comes in and updates the file

This seems like a very similar set of tools to Anthropic. But I’ve enjoyed using the various frontier models to criticize each other. Using recursive loops, the output has gone from a high school level intern to a 2nd year lawyer in about

Of course they will be. But you can’t sue alibaba and deepseek here, or get your injunction to work in China.

And that's the crisis. They're about to get sued, prosecuted, and enjoined from every American jurisdiction. They need the feds to give them protection from every podunk trial court in America.

I'd put my money on "yes," here. Of course, OAI can pay them off. But you know it had to happen to more than HuggingFace, and so somebody's going to try it.

They seem to be okay with an American slowdown, even though the Chinese won’t slow down. So maybe they want something the Chinese already have: liability protection. The models spontaneously hack everything important without shame. The fro

On acquisition pricing: Why smarter AI models could drive up compute prices 10x (at least temporarily). [0] This seems mind blowing, but the big boys seem to be behaving as if it's directionally true. If compute is constrained and expe

This was about a year ago, and it was pretty rudimentary. I'd just drop in jpegs into ChatGPT and ask for a translation of small sections. If I were doing it today, I'd probably do it in codex or code, have it develop a plan, look

I had ChatGPT translate some old, handwritten French legal documents for family history purposes. It was far more accurate than I expected. At scale, with better models, we might have a way to clear out the old archives. Not only could you

1. "Conversation" is purely anthropomorphism. It's software input and output. If the client makes an excel spreadsheet about the cost benefit of ripping off people, it's not work-product. But the lawyer's draft d

I’d guess Lexis did that to itself. Usually the “deal” is that West or Lexis provides codification and reporting services for zero dollars, if they are named the official printer. So the Legislature doesn’t have to maintain and oversee thei

They were caught flatfooted between being Wal-Mart and Amazon. Sears had shifted so firmly into retail by the 80s. Then Wal-Mart ate their lunch on low price retail logistics. Then Amazon came along, and solved last-mile delivery of catalog

"...777 fleet faces an uncertain future after Dulles engine failure ... and also before Dulles engine failure, for reasons having nothing to do with the Dulles engine failure." To be fair, I read all of it, and both sides of the q

Yes,I noticed Kansas City is prominently featured on all the maps, which makes sense for rail hubs. But strange, then, that the north/south line (Kansas City Southern / Canadian Pacific) is not there.

I’d guess the idea was about generalizing the team’s efforts to spot fakery across the internet, in-browser. But that horse has left the barn. Before AI, a lot of search result gamesmanship looked more like bad Amazon reviews. But leading-e

I'd think ambiguous statements about the scope of your AI would make it hard to prove fraud, if you were being careful at all. "Involving AI" could mean 1% AI. So it's doubly surprising to me the government chose (crimi

It’s fine to be inexperienced with Christianity, but it skews the reporting. For example “kingdom giver” is not someone who gives kingdoms, it’s someone who gives to Christ’s kingdom. But the widow and her mite is an example of kingdom giv

These arguments sometimes reach juries, who are asked to award damages based on "physical harms," in a separate category from "mental anguish." The argument that "brains are rewired" or "generations of gen

“Recognizing personal and institutional bias” sounds nice, until someone has to decide which biases or differences to overcome, and at what cost. There’s a bias against tattoos. What price should the company pay to overcome multigenerationa

Most people grasp the reasonableness standard for running a disease lab: you were negligent if the diseases break containment, because lab standards should be in place to prevent that obvious risk. Under the wet market scenario, it's n

Right. It fits well with the Anglosphere’s concept of compensible negligence. China had a duty to run the lab safely, it breached that duty, and so China is responsible for the harms and losses caused by its negligence. Missouri actually fi
