I did this for funsies because my workplace subscribes to a major AI model. "No U.S. state allows individuals to practice law as licensed attorneys without being admitted to practice [...]. Doing so constitutes the Unauthorized Practice of Law (UPL), which is illegal in all 50 states and [D.C.]."

"a place" = relevant, controlling state statute "you don't like AI" = someone pointed out that it's wrong and your emotions have you by the balls about it

What's the function of the term "Academic Freedom" above the copyright statement? That's intriguing as hell. Oh also huge congrats! This is a big deal but I get derailed by these interesting little things!

I feel like we need a clear, culturally-understood distinction between "technological advancement" and "stunt engineering"

I'd also wonder whether this one can get mediapathic enough to where the employer settles, but I have no way to judge that likelihood.

We do need a regulatory regime to bar pervasive employee surveillance outside of very very tightly defined, safety-critical settings. The Panopticon ain't it, kids

Hell, I think the implication is acting the role of a member of *any* regulated profession is the unlicensed practice of that profession. Tom has just played a lot of different roles. Pick your A-lister lol

Hell, when I'm not in my state of licensure I say "I'm a [profession] licensed in California but not here" just to be careful. Because I'm standing somewhere that didn't give me permission to hold myself out etc.!

nora-hakase (野良博士) @nora-hakase.bsky.social · 6h

The Canadian lawyer standing in California can say "I'm licensed to practice in [province] but I can't practice law here". (I think Canadian professional licensure is by province rather than national, but I'm not sure)

Whomever you consult, you don't consult "for a long time". Even if you do a shitty job of picking consultants, it's a strictly short-term deal, especially for something like this.

Also, nobody consults "for a long time"

I would say (without insider knowledge, just educated guessing) that the Times PUBLISHES AS IF IT VIEWS etc. but I suspect the actual views are more like "$$$$$$$!? $$$$$$$$$$!!" (plus or minus access, influence)

This is also territory where it becomes POLITICALLY possible to get that shit to happen. May it be so. May it be more than so.

Pew fuckin' pew, I guess. I can't imagine what would happen in this scenario, and I'm sure Phil wishes he couldn't.

If it doesn't cost a fucking arm (ok, wing) and a leg, they could get me through the door on the strength of this.
