A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa.

It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;)

It's so New York.

I think Greta Thunberg is the best example of how there is no way of protesting that will satisfy the scolds. It'll either be called too aggressive or a self-serving publicity stunt.

I remember when that first high profile case happened, and people were like "well, now at least lawyers will know better than to rely on LLMs to generate their briefs."
Ever wonder how many court opinions have (so far) addressed filings with AI-hallucinated material? According to this page, the tally is...

129 across the globe since mid-2023; of which ~90 are from the US
