I really hope in the unlikely event Jesus does show for the encore I'm in some kind of position where I can see the looks on the faces of southern evangelicals when they realize they're not on the good place train.

If there's one thing that isn't going to move the needle on my AI skepticism it's Noah Smith being alarmist about it.

Rooting for the plaintiffs to get a massive class action win and then immediately get cleaned out by a 21st century Robin Hood.

Regarding Proton, I am not exactly sure what people expect. Large companies with significant revenue streams are neither your co-conspirator nor your attorney and never will be. The beef here is with the FBI, and not just the Kash Patel-run one.

An attorney's vendors aren't committing UPL. If Westlaw lies to an attorney and causes actual damages to a client it might be a contractual problem or a malpractice problem but it's not UPL.

Westlaw might have an issue with non-attorney consumers if they're selling those tools directly.

Suspect we'd have better odds at a pro-US descendent of Kim Il Sung to take power in North Korea.

The subparts cover the licensing part by incorporating the regs against UPL, unauthorized practice of medicine, etc. It's a pretty straightforward law.

15: can't consent with an adult, can't drink a beer, can't sign binding contracts, can't sue on your own, can't work certain jobs, CAN pimp for an insider trading casino if the LUDDITES would get out of our way rn fr tbh

When I was a junior in high school I proposed a project where I would explain craps from a rules and math perspective and I was shot down quicker than a Noem puppy because gambling is for grown-up degenerates, etc.

I had no idea I was actually a civil rights pioneer born a generation too soon.

I would also propose alternatives, such as one involving a cannon on the edge of the Grand Canyon on live TV, or another that involves prediction markets as to which species of carnivorous animal gets there first.

We're like a week away from Mike Johnson blaming reckless Joe Biden for putting Trump in the position where he might have to nuke Tehran.

Funnily enough the stock market also seems to be undergoing backwards growth.

If you don't pass laws like this you'll get people one simple tricking their way around UPL and other professional requirements claiming that it's the magic software and not them. It's pretty straightforward statutory consumer fraud and it doesn't become censorship because software is involved.

This is a misread of the statute. It is not information that "could" fall within licensed advice, it bars any "substantive response" that "would" violate either UPL or med licensure if a natural person did it, and the standard is willfully. It's a clearly good law.

It's possible to be wrong and right at the same time.

Invoking the rule that I saw this therefore others must see this.

I'm at a hipster coffee shop oj the north side and there's a table of off-duty customs workers from O'Hare doing a spontaneous poetry slam with increasingly obscene limericks about Kirsti Noem. Dude just rhymed Watertown with "put her down." They're having the best time.

I wouldn't put Markwayne Mullin in charge of a mediocre donut stand.

The guy tried to fight a union boss. He's not exactly college material.

How would a Canadian even know that I tell people I'm Canadian overseas? It's not like I'm going to try to bluff Canadians. You think we're new at this? The campus bartender thought my name was Steve and I was 22.

It does not alter my certainty that he's unfit for Congress.

That Shakespeare series is great. Patrick Stewart is also in it as is David Suchet from the Poirot TV show.

Everything about this tech suggests to me that we're likely to have a catastrophic accident from some jackass putting it into a complex system without appropriate testing or safety controls, and seemingly the only way to prevent that is by entering an Alex Jones-like verdict every time this happens.

Buying them two crossbows: 4
Buying them one crossbow: 6.5
Buying them three or more crossbows: 8

She chose the best possible path.

That's what the cops would call a good shoot.

"Your Honor they found a loophole around the 4th Amendment!"
"They sure did!" <tosses bone to cop> "Who's a good boy? You're a good boy, yes you are!"

"We're not like Democrats thinking through things and making political decisions" What a storage room muppet (derogatory).

I was a nerd with a copy of Total Baseball in the 90s and I've seen enough: sabermatics was a mistake if only for how bad ubiquitous stats deployment has become.

"Political WAR" is nonsense. You have no way of calculating R and W is singular in a one-off election. What the heck are you measuring?

Imagine assigning WARs to a wife and kids. Billy is a solid 3, Chet has asthma so he's like 1.2, but my girl Irene is a solid 6, not quite Nancy Reagan but she's got a nice fastball.
