Does anyone find it ironic that the analysis of chats reported in Microsoft's paper "Working with AI: Measuring the Occupational Implications of Generative AI" (arxiv.org/pdf/2507.07935) was performed using OpenAI's 4o model?

Commerce Department officials are discussing charging patent holders 1% to 5% of their overall patent value, a shift that could dramatically increase fees, according to people familiar with the matter. The idea is being considered by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick . . .

I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles
Such are promises
All lies and jest
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest

It's also consistent with the Poisson interval distribution, where for randomly spaced events, the most likely interval is zero. Two dramatic events happening at a short interval are more memorable than spaced-out events.

the cover of the book "Lawyer, Jailer, Ally, Foe: Complicity and Conscience in America's World War II Concentration Camps" by Eric L. Muller.

This is a perilous moment for lawyers in federal service.
Stories of resistance from within can help.

This book tells of lawyers who helped run the Japanese American camps of WWII.

We can learn from their struggles to reconcile job with conscience.

Would you please share?
