Turner on Artificial LegalΒ Agents Christian Turner (University of Georgia School of Law) has postedΒ Artificial Legal Agents and the Alien Stance on SSRN. Here is the abstract: We find ourselves ensnared in an ever nastier and strident debate over AI and its role in law, society, and private life.

Unpopular opinion? The recent move on social media to use AI to write everyone's chats really sucks. I don't want to read a robot when I'm peer reviewing articles, and I don't want to read a robot on here or LinkedIn.

Looking forward to speaking at this panel on AI at the @universityoftexas.bsky.social School of Law for a symposium organized by the Texas International Law Journal -- where I was once an editor! I will be discussing a working paper on how anticipatory automation coerces workers under the NLRA.

I DELETED THE STARBUCKS APP #DeleteTheApp to show Starbucks that you stand with baristas, not billion-dollar companies.

Your reminder that Starbucks baristas are still ON STRIKE.

So our call to action is simple: Delete the Starbucks app. #DeleteTheApp bit.ly/deletetheapp

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.
