@#5 ... Same thing in law. ...

Yup.

Penalties stack up as AI spreads through the legal system

... When it comes to using AI, it seems lawyers just can't help themselves.

Last year saw a rapid increase in court sanctions against attorneys for filing briefs containing errors generated by artificial intelligence tools. The most prominent case was that of the lawyers for MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, who were fined $3,000 each for filing briefs containing fictitious, AI-generated citations.

But as a cautionary tale, it doesn't seem to have had much effect.

"Recently we had 10 cases from 10 different courts on a single day," says Damien Charlotin, a researcher at the business school HEC Paris who keeps a worldwide tally of instances of courts sanctioning people for using erroneous information generated by AI. ...


#11 Coriolanus posits, "I would hate to think USAG Merrick Garland didn't release the Epstein files from 21 Jan 2021 to 19 Jan 2025...."

Of course, there was no call from Democrats for any such release.

The "Epstein Files" mania was a MAGA/QANON phenomenon.

Democrats in general, and the Biden administration, in particular, never once campaigned for/against the Epstein files.

Again, that was a MAGA/QANON phenomenon.

Care to list any sustained voices from the left/Democratic Party, calling for the release of the Epstein files from 21 Jan 2021 to 19 Jan 2025?

Why do you insist on playing Cassiodorus, proudly proclaiming that any Democratic Party loss as a clear repudiation of "AIPAC/AIPAC-Democratic official/Israel," while completely ignoring the multitude of inputs to the American political environment, any number of which would cause Democratic party victories and Republican Party losses.

Want to bolster your position? Present evidence that "AIPAC/AIPAC-Democratic official/Israel" was the absolute determining factor in Kamala Harris' loss. Or that it even contributed more than just some votes in some areas of Michigan.

But move the needle in every single swing state in the direction of Trump because of AIPAC/AIPAC-Democratic official/Israel? That's a unicorn.

As for me? I've posted, where the anti-Harris They/Them 2024 ads were clear cause to the defection of very specific voters in the seven (7) swing states,..

And that's what moved the needle in every single swing state in the direction of Trump in 2024.

#9 onepigironheadedsmoothbrainaut displays his/her/their complete US political ignorance by actually asking (about yesterday's Wisconsin SC vote): "This matters why?"

Meanwhile, in Wisconsin

I've been covering Wisconsin politics for several decades now, and have (at times) been deeply involved in the state's Supreme Court races. For much of that time, conservatives dominated those races and built a formidable majority on the state's High Court.

So, believe me when I tell you that this is a BFD. "Liberal Chris Taylor cruises to Wisconsin Supreme Court win."


Not only have progressives flipped the script on the court races, they have also piled up huge margins in a state that is usually on the razor's edge. Taylor won more than 60% of the vote in a state that Trump won in 2024. Liberals now have a 5-2 majority on the court. Taylor's win means liberals will control the state Supreme Court until at least 2030.

Digging down a bit, the demographic shifts carry ominous signs for Republicans. Nate Cohn writes: "Liberal candidates have fared well in Wisconsin Supreme Court elections in recent years, but Chris Taylor's victory tonight was even bigger. She swept many reliably Republican working class areas " and might even crack the traditionally conservative suburban counties around Milwaukee." Democrats are also noting that 12 counties that went red in 2025's election swung blue last night.

As we've seen elsewhere, the Latino vote seems to have shifted to the left, while the liberal candidate won former GOP strongholds like Ozaukee County (where I live).

So, as usual, onepigironheadedsmoothbrainaut is left with ...
