Chris Rufo has long been the canary in that coal mine. Seemed to have an obsession with rehabilitating Tricky Dick back when I followed him on X.

Perhaps the whole voting suppression effort is just a diversion from the true plan, which is use billions in dark money and aggressive AI to ensure the plutocrats that the Outlaw in the Oval (ht Maureen Dowd) can continue unrestrained.

Our bodies are full of containers and conduits. (Things that hold stuff and things through which stuff moves.) So are information systems…

You may remember that I used poems and a painting about Icarus in a LITcon speed-talk some years back. Managed to tie him into the challenges of tech for unrepresented litigants.

Scams used to be obviously fraudulent to catch less attentive victims. Now some leave imperfections to avoid being thought AI-generated.

Many of us instinctively regard the past as less complex — and its leading thinkers/doers as less sophisticated — than now. Each time I read a Shakespeare poem, play a Mozart sonata, or watch a Hitchcock movie I'm reminded how untrue that is.

I may have already noted this, but U Mass emeritus professor Edwina Rissland, who wrote a seminal AI/law article in the Yale Law Journal and taught a related course at Harvard Law for a decade, gave a talk once about 'gray cygnets' (as opposed to black swans, when it came to unusual court rulings.)

Encouraging, even given that "We law people—those of us who spend our careers within the legal industry and its systems—could have spent the last half century or more trying to answer these broader questions of law’s linkage to, obligation to, justice as a central norm."
