Legal AI tech is a booming industry and apparently the surest way to market it is to convince lawyers that they will get to be the cool guy in “Suits." We're not making this up. www.patreon.com/trashfuture/...

The second is about legal practice in the UK employing weird AI tools, some of which have obvious use cases (analyzing documents in discovery), some of which are odd but low-stakes (small-claims court filings), and some of which are... worrisome www.patreon.com/trashfuture/...

A recent article claimed @doctorow.pluralistic.net theory of tech's continual worsening is actually fake, and that people actually love their phones and apps more than ever. Cory wasn't going to read it, but we got him on and let him respond. Let's just say there are some holes in the logic.

This helpfully notes that the Arday case is a baleful fusion of the crank fash Chris Rufo playbook (targeting some minority academic, horking up a terrifying, idiotic scandal about lib wing malfeasance) with a national press that already hounded several minor celebrities into an early grave for fun.
