NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.
The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.
At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Yesterday I got to speak at my fav legal innovation conference @legalgeek.bsky.social. Some observations from yesterday: The dialogue has moved from “Should we adopt AI?” to “Here’s what we’re building.” Agentic workflows took centre stage. Notable increase in investment in legal tech. #legaltech

Interesting to see the stats. Couple of thoughts: 1. I suspect this will continue to happen and maybe even increas as adoption increase. 2. 3 from Canada in the chart - not sure if anyone knows of any other cases in Canada. #legalai
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
