New York considers bill that would ban chatbots from giving legal, medical advice | StateScoop A bill under consideration in New York would provide a private right of action, allowing people to file lawsuits against chatbot owners who violate the law.

A New York bill would ban AI from answering questions related to several licensed professions like medicine, law, dentistry, nursing, psychology, social work, engineering, and more.

The companies would be liable if the chatbots give β€œsubstantive responses” in these areas.

Exhausted DOJ Lawyer to Federal Judge: β€œWhat Do You Want Me to Do? This Job Sucks” The Trump administration cannot find enough lawyers who are willing and able to defend its fascism in court.

Is it good or bad when government lawyers are in federal court telling judges that their jobs suck and begging for a full night's sleep

Republicans love adding seats to state Supreme Courts! They've done it three times in recent years. This latest court-packing plan will shift Utah's high court far to the right and possibly flip rulings on abortion and gerrymandering.

Democrats should take note that Rs have deemed this acceptable!

JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.

Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.

With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.

Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Wambsganss’ campaign is also being supported by some of the state’s most powerful political groups and donors. Finance disclosures show that, through January 15, Wambsganss has received nearly $2.3 million. Of that total, slightly more than half has come from three groups: Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick’s Texas Senate Leadership Fund; Texans for Lawsuit Reform, a political action committee that represents big business interests; and Texans United for a Conservative Majority, which is primarily funded by Dunn, the far-right oil billionaire. Rehmet has, over the same time period, raised roughly $346,000β€”most of it coming from donations of $100 or less.

Leigh Wambsganss raised nearly $2.3 million for the SD9 district, much of it coming from three billionaire-funded PACs.

Taylor Rehmet raised $346,000, most of it coming from donations of $100 or less. His biggest donor gave him $12K, and a bunch of local unions also cut him larger checks.

Government by AI? Trump Administration Plans to Write Regulations Using Artificial Intelligence The Transportation Department, which oversees the safety of airplanes, cars and pipelines, plans to use Google Gemini to draft new regulations. β€œWe don’t need the perfect rule,” said DOT’s top lawyer....

The plan to use AI has alarmed some at DOT, which regulates everything from air travel to pipelines.

Why, some staffers wondered, would the government outsource the writing of critical standards to a new technology notorious for making mistakes?

Like is establishing certain rights into law meaningful when the most basic rights everyone agreed on for so long are being blatantly ignored?

like are these achievements still meaningful when the first, second, and fourth amendments are being ignored by federal masked goons patrolling the streets with guns, murdering people in broad daylight? Yes they are, but they feel less important now I guess

I am feeling so mega depressed. It’s very odd to me that my work on lgbtq+ equality in state legislatures continues on (differently, more carefully, but still continues) even though we are in a fascist police state that is murdering ppl for exercising their constitutional rights

Gov. Gavin Newsom: β€˜I disagree’ with calls to abolish ICE The 2028 presidential contender came out against calls to dismantle ICE after an agent fatally shot a Minneapolis woman.

What makes Gavin Newsom such a skilled politician is that he stands up to Trump’s bullying with piping hot memes AND is able to agree with Trump about policy

Incredibly, this is an actual photo New York Post used for the guy who attacked Ilhan Omar.

Chicago Won’t Buy Back Parking Meters, Johnson Says β€œThe final purchase price was far too high, much more than they initially received for the sale, and higher than most reasonable assumptions would support,” Mayor Brandon Johnson said.

While Mayor Brandon Johnson said it would have been β€œdeeply irresponsible” not to consider buying the meters, his team concluded it would result in a β€œbad deal” for taxpayers. @wttw.bsky.social

Newβ€” An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

Chuckling at the people in the U.S. who consistently shit on people who live in "red" states... Well according to others in the world, the entire US is now a "red" state. Not so easy to overthrow authoritarians, is it?
