High court tells UK lawyers to stop using AI after fake case-law citations
Ruling follows two cases blighted by actual or suspected use of artificial intelligence in legal work
The high court has told senior lawyers to take urgent action to prevent the misuse of artificial intelligence after dozens of fake case-law citations were put before the courts that were either completely fictitious or contained made-up passages.
Lawyers are increasingly using AI systems to help them build legal arguments, but two cases this year were blighted by made-up case-law citations which were either definitely or suspected to have been generated by AI. Continue reading...

1. The remarkable head of a Man from #Palmyra, cut in the local, yellow limestone, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen IN 1145. The naturalistically shown, scowled face (resembling Caracalla), the diamond-shaped curls of the short beard (soldier Emperors) and the astounding snail-shaped locks (East):

I’ve got a fun little game I play at work where I try to introduce new words into the office vernacular. I think of a slightly odd word (might do vernacular next actually) and drop it into emails or speech until I hear someone else using it at which point I’ve won and begin again with a new word

It’s cold out there, so rather than post about a site, here is my current #medieval read (perfect for a winter train journey). Beautifully written, a fave insight is that the word we often translate as ‘fleeting’ in Old English poetry literally means ‘on loan’, and I like thinking about that🧵1/3

I’ve given this a lot of thought and if I had three wishes (and I was not allowed to do the health/wealth/happiness thing) I would ask for

I have to take an annual fire safety training for work, and I am reminded that I asked some of the folks who manage these things how they evacuate the NICU and apparently they have vests you can load up with babies

Looking very much the image of a bloodied, fallen god - a glass head of the doubly syncretic deity Zeus-Serapis. It was originally a cast and carved chunk of opaque red glass which acquired a green patina over the centuries. 🏺 #AncientBluesky
