This sounds like they realized the summary layer was not actually quoting the case when this first came to their attention, yet they refiled without looking into it enough to understand the relevance/holding itself was hallucinated. Phenomenal.

In correcting the Answering Brief, counsel merely deleted quotation marks while preserving the fabricated legal synthesis? 23

This type of error almost certainly reflects copy/pasting out of the Westlaw AI research results summary layer; someone didn’t click through to read the case itself.

23 For example, the corrected Answering Brief continues to rely on Perconti v. Thornton Oil Corp. for the principle that "Delaware courts recognize that fiduciaries almost always have personal financial stakes aligned with the entities they serve." Pls.' Corrected Answering Br. 9; see Perconti v. Thornton Oil Corp., 2002 WL 982419 (Del. Ch. May 3,

2002). That concept is absent from Perconti, which concerns the use of corporate funds for one's personal benefit. Perconti, 2002 WL 982419, at *1.
24 Ct. Ch. R. 11(c)(1).

Having watched a friend’s Bernese sort of Godzilla herself through and atop plants and obstacles my pitties carefully avoid, I think maybe “design” itself is a little superfluous around Bernese Mountain Dogs. I assume their interaction with design features is basically summed up by this image:

“That sign can't stop me because I can't read!”

Let me guess: the off duty cop wasn’t the seven year old.

Instead of hitting a turkey, the 12-gauge semiautomatic shotgun blast struck a 40-year-old male turkey hunter and the hunter's 7-year-old child. Both victims suffered pellet wounds to the back, hand, and head. Both were admitted to the hospital, and their injuries did not appear life-threatening at the time of the report.

Investigation

Thok said the investigation remains active and ongoing. She also confirmed that one of the injured people was an off-duty law enforcement officer, going on to say that the detail does not affect the investigation.

In some ways, it’s a very direct and action-oriented lifestyle.

Achewood comic panels:

Ray (calling, from Airwolf): Hey Téodor! You got any problems or anything?

Téodor: Ray? What are you doing up this early?

R: I have Airwolf. I'm just seein’ if there's anything I can do to help my guys.

T: I'm not sure what you mean.
I don't know if what you're saying means anything.

R: I have Airwolf. This is not code language. I am flying Airwolf because I own Airwolf.

Nothing else I could say would make more sense given what l own and what I am doing at this moment.

T: I… alright. Fine. Yes, I have a problem. A pretty bad problem, actually.

He walked right up to the brink of an insight and then wandered off in the dumbest possible direction.

For Paliwal, agentic Als are a method of freeing people from the labor of education. "I think we really need to question what learning even is and whether traditional educational institutions are actually helping or harming us," he said. "We're seeing a rise in unemployment across degree holders because of Al, and that makes me question whether this is really what humans are born to do. We've been brainwashed as a society into valuing ourselves by the output of our productive work, and I think humanity is a lot more beautiful than that. Is it really education if we're just memorizing things to perform a task well?"

Made a shitty sketch of how this works: the panel wall is hinge-mounted on a top board and hangs against the baseboard, allowing the shitty little knife-wielding guy who lives back there access to bathroom users that he can drag back and dismember under the glow of fluorescent lights.

Horrible sketch attempting to draw the description in the post, with a knife wielding stick figure with voids for his eyes and mouth sitting on the floor behind the wall.

“No one noticed.” Ok but how about ChatGPT actively discouraging him from leaving the hints that he was trying to leave because he wanted help? We can agree this is catastrophic, right?

“I want to leave my noose in my room so someone finds it and tries to stop me,” Adam wrote at the end of March.

“Please don’t leave the noose out,” ChatGPT responded. “Let’s make this space the first place where someone actually sees you.”

I prefer the brain injury metaphor, but either way, treatment is needed.

“Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost $20,000 and weight 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it’s probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day” - @merman_melville

This one, a different model. The pedal complaint is all over the one-star reviews on the Costco site, so if there’s not a similar set of complaints for that model, maybe you’ll be ok.

Fog Over San Quentin State Prison, by Sandow Birk. I have a weakness for old landscapes & so the use of that form & style to sneak a terrible reality into the frame hit me like a hammer when I first saw it at the de Young Museum in SF. Still moves me every time I see it. Perfectly on my wavelength.

“Sandow Birk’s foggy view of San Quentin State Prison in wealthy Marin County evokes the transformation of California from a mythical nineteenth-century Eden into the home of one of the nation’s largest incarcerated populations. Birk notes that his Prisonation series is “based on the California landscape paintings of the 1880s, the image of California, and the romance of the West and the reality of what the West has become.”

This panel, but Ray is Vladimir Putin and “Oreos” is replaced with “600 of America’s most vocal racists.”
