Whatever the current regulations are*, they are not strong enough because there is way too much AI-generated pro se shit out there

*I have no specialized knowledge of UPL regulations

This week, two different employers told me--totally unprompted--that they wish their interns/externs asked more questions.

Ask questions: It doesn't make you look bad. It makes you look smart and engaged.

I'd buy that, but the chatbot providers shouldn't be engaging in UPL either

If you read the bill, it attaches liability to the chatbot answer ONLY IF the same answer would attach liability to the person making the same statement.

Complicated new issue but seems AI companies want Section 230 type immunity. I don’t think that’s where the public (and juries) are, at all.

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

I don’t think people have grasped what it means to have a WH & a military who commits mass murder over and over for the sole purpose of committing mass murder.

About ten years ago someone wise told me that I should be louder about personal matters, to embolden younger lady lawyers (and fellas) to take time for their families and themselves. I started telling people I was going to the dentist or taking my kid to the pediatrician instead of a vague

Once again reminding everyone that the majority of people stranded in the UAE are not influencers or expats or tourists, but South Asian (and SE Asian and African) workers whose passports are often controlled by their employers and whose govts have made no attempts to repatriate.

If the parties were reversed in this situation (and the several others involving Jan. 6 rioters), we would never stop hearing this guy's name from Rs. There'd be hearings where they'd bring the parents. They'd be proposing laws named after the victims. Why are Ds so bad at this?

The difference between "terrorism" and war without rules of engagement cannot be found with a quantum tunneling microscope. It doesn't exist.

9/11 was war without rules of engagement. What Hegseth & Trump et al are doing is inviting more 9/11s.

These guys are constantly telling on themselves that they can’t imagine anyone acting on an actual principle. Protesters? Must be getting paid. Bishops noticing that Jesus had some thoughts on welcoming the stranger? Gotta be a payday in there.

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.

You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online.

Full stop.

"Age verification" legislation is just a pretty name for "forced online ID checks," meaning everything you post is associated with your government name

We have to stop this.

Fetterman is basically a reactionary now: there is no real effort to explain why Mullin - a buffoon who spent the week insisting we are not at war with Iran - is qualified. Trump nominated Mullin, and that’s good enough for him.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
