It is wildly unusual for lower-court judges to so publicly express frustration with the Supreme Court’s *behavior* (versus, say, a confusing ruling in a specific case).
But the number of *different* examples is completely unprecedented—and pretty powerful evidence that something is seriously wrong.

One striking thing from this (excellent) report on a DOGE employee's use of AI is that everything about it is antithetical to sound software engineering practices—an engineer hurriedly deploying an unfamiliar tool to meet an impossible deadline for a problem domain in which he has no expertise.
1/ Really recommend reading this from @propublica.org, one of the more detailed looks at how DOGE has attempted to use AI to go after government contracts. And below, I recommend further reading.
New: A DOGE staffer developed an AI tool to review Veterans Affairs contracts.
But there was a slight hitch.
It hallucinated the size of those deals.
For example, it concluded that more than a thousand contracts were each worth $34M, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.
