I actually did successfully do this once, but I gave Claude the whole paper and asked what it thought I meant by the mysterious subsection title. It wasn't right but it was close enough that it triggered my memory.

(long term I want to do a law & basketball course, but that's another story) here: 1. the political economy & gutting of journalism; 2. am currently working on something about the rise of sports betting and prediction markets; and 3. next up is on enshittification and the rule of law

Now on SSRN and looking for a good home - "The Case for Professional Disobedience"

Using healthcare professionals as a case study, the Article meets this perilous moment in U.S. history by thinking seriously about disobedience as a response to institutional failures

there's three separate threads of my research agenda in here lol

It's like written specifically for me

just remembered that I saw this account the other day suggest that the Knight Center should disinvite Jamal Greene from something because of some group to which his brother has ties

Yeah I know for a fact I had some scholastica rejections that said so but I can't find them now.

More significantly, I would suspect the prevalence of "unwritten" policies pales in comparison to "unofficial" policies where practice submissions just start down 50 points

Even if the next second they throw it away they've already committed the crime.

obviously understand the policy argument that we think it's extra bad for someone on the run to have a gun but I'm not convinced that the charge is going to deter someone who's making the decision to become a fugitive

I agree that it's common sense, my objection is more with these kinds of crimes that mostly just rack up charges. Like someone who legally owns and carries a gun but the moment they become a fugitive they technically commit two crimes at once because now they're a fugitive in possession.

didn't realize fugitives were a category in 922g. Same energy:

I think my eyes crossed trying to parse that haha

it's 100% going to happen I posted that specifically so I could screenshot it and repost it when it does

No question

The very existence of commercially available glasses with Internet-connected cameras sold by Meta, a company built entirely on hiding the costs of services in negative privacy externalities, is an indictment of U.S. tech law and policy. This is an unfixable product from a fundamentally bad company.

I guess to clarify my initial point: I think a good writer can receive good feedback from, at least, the good AI. that doesn't necessarily mean they *should* of course.

I was not defending the wisdom or ethics or feasibility of just wholly ai submissions!

I certainly agree with this but I also definitely did not take that to be default position of strident anti AI folks

I'm not disagreeing with this point.

I’ve definitely wondered (aloud, sometimes, with my vagueness expert colleague @joeljohnson13.bsky.social) about whether a particularly poorly-specified implementation test (cough, Bruen) might itself create notice problems.

Within the next couple of years, if not already, you will have read and loved things, without knowing it, that AI helped write.

I love writing and am fully secure in my ability to write. Make whatever judgments you want to make. But Claude is pretty fucking good at writing.

just fwiw it's always especially brutal if you're not a law professor. Some journals have unpublished policies against accepting pieces from people who aren't on law faculties

(I was cooking dinner and completely(!) misread your point)

If your crew isn't talking bayesian cyberoriginalism it's time to find a new crew. your network is your net worth.

1/2 Mullin cannot be Acting Secretary of DHS. While in the Senate, he cannot hold office in the executive branch. (U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 6.) If he resigned the Senate to become a DHS employee, he would be eligible for appointment only after serving in DHS for 90 says. (5 U.S.C. § 3345(a)) -- and

Would be awkward for the thesis of this article if in the state's highest profile race in one of the bluest districts in the country an incumbent beat back a progressive challenger.

A Political Earthquake Rattles the North Carolina Legislature Voters across this politically purple state made it clear on Tuesday that they wanted to punish the powerful on both sides of the aisle. It may be a warning to incumbents elsewhere.

You would think from this headline that NC voters are “anti incumbent” who want to “punish the powerful on both sides of the aisle.” But actually this article is about how three Dems who voted with the GOP just got shellacked.

I am going to become the joker.

Nonetheless I am taking this to confirm my priors that a lot of what's been terrible about the last 15 years has been enshittifying the lives of the ~40th to ~90th percentiles

Also pretty hard to pick two worse cases to draw general trends from to be fair

This Onion headline is the ur-pattern. It's the One Truth. Everything ultimately is reducible to it.
