Every system that was regulated, either explicitly or implicitly, by the fact that they were effortful for humans (letters of recommendation, government filings, essays, or, as this paper finds, lawsuits) will break under a wave of AI.

I always thought the question, "Is the Pope Catholic?" was rhetorical and tautological, not a question for debate.

61% of lawyers surveyed by Lexis UK use Gen AI for work. What's really eye-catching, though, is that that number was 46% in January. In-house, small-firm, and academia lawyers use AI the most; midsize and BigLaw lawyers the least. www.legalfutures.co.uk/latest-news/...

legalfutures.co.uk

AI use gaining ground rapidly across legal profession

Six out of 10 lawyers are using GenAI for work purposes and most of the rest plan to use it, with small law firms twice as likely as larger practices to “rely heavily on AI for day-to-day work”.

On July 12, 1855, some drunk clowns got into a massive brawl with a bunch of firefighters at a Toronto brothel. By the next day, several firefighters were beaten and the circus was burned to the ground. This is the story of Toronto's Firemen And Clown Brothel Riot. 🧵1/8

The image depicts a vintage scene inside a circus tent, featuring several individuals dressed in colorful, theatrical costumes. A central figure, a clown with a white face, red nose, and green-and-pink ruffled outfit, stands holding a small mirror. Surrounding the clown are other performers, including a man in a maroon outfit adjusting his appearance, another clown in a blue-and-red costume, and a person in a top hat and formal attire. In the foreground, a performer in a yellow-and-red outfit is working with a large black cloth or costume piece. The background shows additional circus performers and props, including hanging costumes and a lively, crowded atmosphere. The overall style suggests an old illustration, possibly from a 19th-century circus or theatrical setting.

Later this month, Canada will have the privilege of welcoming Their Majesties The King and Queen to Canada — where His Majesty King Charles III will deliver Canada’s speech from the throne. This historic honour matches the weight of our times.

A lot of Americans don't know this, but the winner of the Canadian election will be required live in a small cottage located in the backyard of the palace where the viceroy to the King of England lives. The cottage just recently got a new wifi router, which was very exciting for all Canadians.

Sometimes I worry about AI - and then sometimes I google how many peanuts are in a peanut butter cup, and the answer is gives me "A peanut butter cup contains roughly 2 million peanuts from a 2,500 lb bag of peanuts" and even if that's correct, it's also not what I was asking.
