My gut feeling is that machine learning is pretty good at this kind of text categorization. You could also try going old school and using stylometry. There are a bunch of companies trying to sell GPT detection. But also remember captcha sta

Mostly agree. But there is no LLM equivalent of prepared statements available, that's the problem. And I don't think this is necessary to have multi-turn statements. Assuming there's some other technical constraint, because y

Here's an example of a deeply misleading article. Reading this you wouldn't know the new law only eliminates bail for misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies. You wouldn't know that while judges can't set high bail because

But that wouldn't be an exoneration. The exoneration rate for criminal defendants sentenced to death is around 4%, see my citation 3 in the original post. (And it wouldn't "almost certainly" lead to a tossed conviction.

My impression is that it's higher than those numbers too. What I meant to say is that death penalty eligible defendants get better representation than pretty much everyone else. So their wrongful conviction rate should be lower than av

Not necessarily. A PD might well be much better than an affordable private counsel. It's definitely better to go private if you're rich, it depends on specifics if you aren't.

Not on this subject. The NYTimes is heavily conservative when it comes to the criminal judicial system. They've written articles espousing essentially the same positions as this one. They've led the charge to kill bail reform in N

The risk was that the seller would realize the buyer was a company with VC money and an investment in the name. The broker thought that the seller might ask for an order of magnitude more if they knew that.
