It is anathema to what all the judges and legal academics told us the American common law is supposed to be. It is a lie. We have a German civil law court now. No explanation, no deference to precedent, and no pretense that a decision extends beyond the particular case.

We accept a level of error from generative AI that would get any even semi-competent professional disqualified as such, and depending on the field, we would arrest and probably try a competent professional with such an error rate
It is so striking to see the disclaimer "AI can make mistakes. Check outputs before using" on every single piece of software. Imagine the equivalent warning label on the Ford Pinto. "The fuel tank ruptures and bursts into deadly flames when crashed. Do not crash the Ford Pinto while driving"
I will be teaching about Ford Pinto case in my sociology of law lecture tomorrow on the risk society & collective harms. It is clear that the development of (gen) #AI fits in same capitalist & risk logic but big difference is that this type of corporate behaviour has become normalised and accepted

PAOs who outright lie should be told to find a new job at 1201 on 20 Jan 29
I asked SouthCom why it used a Jerusalem Cross in a post about an operation in which the Trump admin has killed at least 87 people in Caribbean/Pacific missile strikes.
“There is no other communication intent for this image” except showing soldiers “in a ready posture,” Col. Emanuel Ortiz told me.

US SouthCom a few tweets way from using a Sonnenrad patch in their imagery.

Donald Trump has unilaterally decided that one of America's largest media companies must be sold to one of his cronies. Here's why America has a liberal media bias problem.

I feel like the left unsaid part of the “NEW TECHNOLOGIES” thing is “why hasn’t the DoD made the Arsenal Birds real yet, are they stupid”
I don't even really understand what point they're trying to make. "Invest in new technologies"? Like what? What dimension are we supposedly ignoring? Which technologies can replace an aircraft carrier?

I've given the NYT military innovation piece a read.
If China were to invade Taiwan, "our adversaries" would use the same "expensive, vulnerable weapons:" aircraft carriers, fighters, amphibious warfare ships, and armored vehicles.

The Times Ed Board can make a bigger impact with weeks of essays on the destruction of American scientific and soft power institutions, and they probably have a way bigger impact on US national security interests in INDOPACOM anyway.

The Constitution says that there must be a Supreme Court with a Chief Justice. Fair enough.
But Congress can set its appellate jurisdiction with simple legislation
Under the Third Reconstruction, John Roberts will hear every single parking dispute in the Northern Mariana Islands

I've come around to the position that a self-enforcing code of ethics and a packed Court is the floor. The goal is the wholesale abolition of the Court. We can figure out something better.
This is the exact same Court that just hand waved "what if somebody who committed insurrection as a matter of fact nonetheless held the office of President because Congress didn't pass enabling legislation" and "what if the President orders people to commit murder", by the way

Possibly the only thing more freakish than Nuzzi's prose is the contortions her defenders twist themselves into. "She's not just hot, but she definitely is hot, while also being a vulnerable smol child. Also, criticizing her is sexist."

A reminder that she was fired not for fucking RFK Jr, but for not informing her editors or audience, and given her history at this point, it's incredibly safe to say it's her basic MO. That's not personal ethics, that's professional ethics.
