A tale told by an attorney, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Former fed. Mostly law, econ, and politics. This is not a place of honor

Speaking from experience: tech isn’t there yet- even the bones you get are too clearly AI slop. Could be soon though

Moot Question @mootquestion.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
For law I think it’s the soft skills vs legal research and writing. The AI can close the gap between bad writers and good (not great). But anyone who is passable but also great at meatspace stuff (depositions, negotiations, trials) is gonna boost up

this is exactly my opinion. there may be a superstrate of extremely difficult and unique safety problems around AI, but the substrate is simply that no one takes basic precautions seriously becasue they imagine (or pretend to imaigne) that it is futile, and basic precautions slow down launches.

In one of my cases the opposing economist had a “projection” where he drew a line through two points to project that a manufacturing production based metric would go negative. I’m still trying to figure out what it means for a factory to produce negative of something

No joke opposing counsel had a rebuttal economist put a chart like this (including an impossible negative projection) in his report not long ago. He is not going to testify at trial

I agree we should abrogated with something extremely pointed, but I’m not sure an amendment is the right manifestation of that.

Limiting which justices can hear which cases seems suspect but probably in line with constitutional hardball. Or so say the panel of 9 new justices that get to hear the case

I think a lot about Biden/Garland keeping David Weiss on as US Attorney, because they didn't want to meddle with the Hunter probe. And then Garland elevating Weiss to special counsel so he could convict Hunter. And this having ZERO IMPACT on the GOP certainty that Biden was rigging the DOJ

I knew someone who was in his study group at Yale Law and seemed to think reasonably well of him, at least circa 2016. But that person also clerked for an a notorious abusive judge so maybe they have bad judgment
