We went to the wine bar at Emeril’s after this year’s Tulane Research and Achievement Awards. I figure we were all dressed up. Drinks and food were incredible.

I love that they’re using these ancient plates.

Lol. Good luck asserting a copyright claim in the language of a brief, let alone the argument. She should know that fee shifting works both ways. www.cbsnews.com/news/jan-6-d...
Attorneys for Jan. 6 defendants face lawsuits for plagiarism
A Texas-based researcher produced a 26-page study for a defense lawyer in a Jan. 6 Oathkeepers case to argue for a change of venue, which she alleges was "pirated" by other attorneys.

I'm glad we were able to pitch in!

I mean, fair. But so can lots of things, including therapists. The mental illness is the problem, the AI was just a trigger. It could just as well have been a different one.

Yeah, sad story, but the AI wasn't the problem.

The risk of asking an AI model for legal advice is that it will be wrong. While I’m not an expert on therapy, I don’t get the impression that’s the problem.

I’m really struggling to see the problem here. Unless you’re a therapist, I guess.
I had a 45 year old rideshare driver tell me recently that he uses AI for therapy.

I asked him which one. He said “Grok— I like the voice it uses, the tone doesn’t talk down to me like ChatGPT’s does.”

He bragged that he had a 4 hour “therapy session” talking to Grok.

Chat, are we cooked?

It would be unreasonable to hold a computer accountable for making mistakes, because how was it to know that doing evil things was wrong on a Wednesday at 3:15 pm?

It’s like these people have never heard of qualified & absolute immunity.
