  I don’t know. I mean it’s probably a very bad model and these people are just being scammed for a gpt 3.0. I can’t say I like them but I still abhor a scam.

  If only. If you google an AI specifically for litigation you’ll get websites selling weekly access for just shy of $500.

  I often get very large pleading dumps immediately prior to a hearing instead of at a more logical time and I think it’s the pro se scrounging the money together for another fix of an expensive AI website.

  I don’t mean to be an absolutists and say it could never under any circumstances leak if handled poorly, but even if you just dumped it in a hole in the ground the odds are against that.

  We primarily don’t have long term storage for us becuase it’s too valuable and we’re only currently using a small percentage of its potential energy. In other words we are not done with it.

  Long term storage that exists like Yucca Mountain are heavily engineered to remove risk.

  Here’s a radical idea- store it.

  I sincerely doubt it. Judges want to do justice. I think most people would call having a robot judge your pleadings and dismiss merit less claims as dystopian.

  Even if it was just “parsing” that’s a layer between you and the judge. Probably also dystopian.

  I can only speak to my field, which is legal. Incomprehensible but prolific drivel has always been something the court system has struggled with getting through. That same drivel is now pretty good at pleading generalities but it’s awful at detailing facts.

  You can get past the first hurdle in the legal world and unlock a massive and expensive cascade which AI can also effectively navigate for you.

  In essence, AI can, very effectively, take an incoherent unreasonable and often mentally unwell litigant and magnify the expense of getting rid of their frivolous claim by over 100.

  It’s almost assuredly going to 1. Chock the system. 2. Force massive reallocation of resources in the judiciary 3. Thereby vastly increasing not decreasing legal work. And 4. End up with valid claims being killed in a massive change in judicial attitude toward “clear enough” pleadings as they struggle with an AI influx.

  You’ve heard of jumbo olives though right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why don't pandas exist in Chinese history prior to 1869? the creature "Mo" that is referenced looks nothing like a Panda⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So like picture a bear

  Yeah okay one of the most successful and impressive biological families go on

  But it eats this weed that’s like everywhere that nothing else can eat

  Wouldn’t that like, over populate and dominate the world?

  Weirdly? Only on paper.

  In universe the holodeck generates a certain kind of matter that can’t leave the holodeck. So your jizz goes into the holomatter lady who is then presumably disinterested atom by atom just like a teleporter. So your jizz gets dissolved into the ether.

  I don’t think there is any question that it was obvious to everyone. I was a kid in a conservative household and got it. And I distinctly recall there being a mad magazine bit about Colbert before I was even in high school. So that implies the joke was widely understood by the child aimed reading audience of Mad Magazine.

  I distinctly remember hearing:

  There were rooftop cheers from a Muslim community in New Jersey.

  There was cheering in Gaza.

  That rooftop thing was a continual news cycle item for weeks. I recall it being debunked but none of the details.

  I don’t think there is a dietary restriction that doesn’t draw a complete arbitrary line at some point.

  Fish isn’t meat is just the pope compromising with fishermen. Not eating an oyster but eating corn is a fairly arbitrary line as well.

  I didn’t jerk off a crab.
