contact local, state and federal officials.

All because I sent an email.

Stay tuned.

I joined Eaton Fire Residents United, an advocacy group that’s on the ground, talking to people and contacting local and state politicians to raise these issues.

Long story short(ish), just this week, we’ve found the right people to help us navigate this and they’re now helping us… (4/?)

ineffective remediations, only to then refuse to pay for testing that would confirm whether the home is still full of lead, asbestos, arsenic, and a variety of other dangerous toxins (spoiler alert: almost certainly).

After my own request for an independent industrial hygienist was declined… 3/?

In the last month, I’ve learned more about the toxins left behind after a wild-urban interface fire (WUI) than I ever thought possible.

Hell, I didn’t even know what a WUI was.

I’ve learned how utterly cruel insurance companies are…forcing policyholders to go through expensive and utterly 2/?

I worked hundreds of hours for the Harris campaign. I was in the #WisDems Boiler Room on Election Day as a volunteer attorney. And I feel nothing.

I didn’t lose my house, but my neighborhood is gone. And I feel nothing.

At some point, all of this is going to hurt *really* bad.

Then I asked, “what must be established for a cause of action for sexual harassment to succeed under federal law?”

The prompt purposefully could be better. However.

It directed me to…not the statute or case law, which was oddly not hyperlinked…

The RESTATEMENT. 🥴

That’s interesting. I’m in California and would *love* that. We have no good way to directly access most of that information. Can’t imagine that wouldn’t be financially viable. There are a few lawyers here. 🤣

Especially since AI is not a fact-finding machine. Since it’s looking for language patterns and not yes/no answers to queries, you’re absolutely correct about the best answer it could give…even if the data was 100% complete. Which it never will be.

If only.

Heck, I’d settle for a tool that tells me exactly where to find (or not) different pieces of leg history materials, so I’d know where to start looking.

Like one massive and continuously updated LibGuide.

Not surprised. Lexis does a terrible job of connecting the statute to relevant leg history documents on the non-AI platform. Also, AI is notoriously bad with numbers, so asking it to make connections based on PL numbers, etc. would be disastrous.
