For the #e-ink tablet owners, tell me about the pros and cons of your preferred tablet? Looking for something to read and annotate Word docs and PDFs on, as well as take my own notes.
January 2, 2025 at 6:01 PM
Has anyone ran into an annotation/note-taking app where you can:
1. Load a PDF/Word doc,
2. Click on a place where you want to add a comment
3. Dictate a comment
4. Your words are then converted to text,
5. You can export the doc with traditional text comments

Asked on LinkedIn but not many replies. I am thinking about switching up a book, Robot Rules, for my AI & the Law seminar in the Spring. What is your current favorite AI book? #LegalTech #EdTech #Lawsky

Am I the only one worried by the number of people who seem to think the information they are putting into an AI product is completely confidential and protected if they have opted out of putting it in the training data? No. 1 AI skill: read the full Terms of Service/Use. #AI

Since folks seem to like my AI feeds, I figured they might also like these law-themed ones. Enjoy.

General Audience:
- Law-like Talk: bsky.app/profile/davi...
- SCOTUS Talk: bsky.app/profile/lols...

More "technical"
- Law Review-like: bsky.app/profile/davi...

Again, these are works in progress.
I've created a constellation of Bluesky feeds to help me stay on top of developments in AI.¹ Maybe you'll like them too.

AI Talk: bsky.app/profile/davi... (general audience)
AI & the Law: bsky.app/profile/davi...
AI Papers et al.: bsky.app/profile/davi...

¹ They should improve w/ time.

#AcademicSky #LawSky let's get to know each other. Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you're working on, 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about
1. Unending grading
2. How history repeats.
