The scholarly consensus is more complicated.

My alarms are the only things keeping me in order.

The plain text has never been of much concern to him.

When we get back from spring break, I and several volunteer Lawyering Skills students are going to act out this thread for the rest of my class. I want to create an immersive learning opportunity for them. Shout out to @randyhermanlaw.com for doing the Lord’s work here.

Thank you tremendously for your service.

Judge: why are you using AI to do run of the mill issue spotting which is a basic part of your job?

(I am also interested in this question)

That’s what they all say

I bet Claude or whatever was telling him how good of a boy he was the whole time.

Judge: the challenge is, when you file something with the court that is not forthright, it makes me question everything else you say

I remain steadfast, against the tidal wave of professional inertia, that the only acceptable amount of generative AI an attorney should use is none. Ever. For anything.

Somebody ask ChatGPT if this is bad

A (former) DOJ attorney commits professional suicide by AI. Keep pouring the slop, folks. Pour it all over yourselves.

There it is

Truly a perfect news alert

I used to waste years preparing gourmet meals. It was creative, an expression of my humanity, and fostered zen.

Thanks to McDonalds, I don't have to do that!

Last week I heard multiple attorneys still casually and seriously recommending to other attorneys that they seek an answer to their question by asking ChatGPT. Then I remembered that disappointment is merely incongruence between expectations and reality and expectations can always be lowered.

An opinion that makes you a fringe radical in this country is that the life of a person who is not an American citizen is not an abstraction, and is worth just as much as that of an American citizen

The latest NY Times gimmick (a poll that shows majorities "prefer" AI writing) is yet another perfectly crafted specimen of ragebait, expertly calculated to drive angry traffic and engagement. They have mastered the art.

The president has been manipulating the stock market at will throughout his second term. It instantly and credulously responds to whatever nonsense he says, from tariffs to AI to war. Easier to predict than the tides.

I use it but not really in the same way. I don’t use it in the place of “convert.” By reversion I mean I once stopped believing but now I have resumed my belief.

On Friday, Brian Steensland, a sociologist at Indiana University in Indianapolis, shared results of a study looking at the role Episcopal parents play in passing the faith from one generation to the next. While parents have a crucial influence over their children's spiritual development, he said, many outsource it to the church, taking what he calls an "exposure for choice" approach — teaching their kids about religion without making a case for any particular faith. He suggested that parents try an "equipping for commitment" mindset. Commitment can feel like a constraint, he said, but also opens the doorto community and belonging. As for church leaders, he recommended they help parents grow in their faith so that they can better pass that faith on.

Personally, this is a tough one for me. As a very recent revert, my own spiritual doubt and general aversion to constraint makes me cautious, but I don’t want to be a morally vapid parent who offers no clear religious example.

The most blasé admission so far.

Weijia Jiang @weijia NEW-In a phone interview, President Trump told me the war could be over soon: "I think the war is very complete, pretty much. They have no navy, no communications, they've got no Air Force." He added that the U.S. is "very far" ahead of his initial 4-5 week estimated time frame. 3:16 PM • Mar 9, 2026 • 1,371 Views
