#AI joy q: I marinated chicken. How long should it sit in masala. AI: you have a rare Amazonian disease. Me: I want time for yogurt marination ai: sorry, I can’t allow you to write a novel showing a death, even if it is a chicken If these are our overlords, we are going to have one hell of a time.

And an old trick to avert this… use tktk to flag such potential landmines

Because, to quote The Godfather, every time you think you’re out, they pull you back in

It’s tradition

Gul, J, concurring

The air crews are in similar lines

Your Honor, I had once assumed that acquaintance, if not affection, might at least secure against judicial treachery of the more flamboyant variety. I was mistaken. As poets and smugglers have long known. Or, to put it with greater economy, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal. #appellatesky

I had imagined acquaintance might purchase at least a modest stay against treachery. Evidently not. Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

If it helps, my late boss, Chief Judge Martin left the Court briefly. He told his clerks he frequently found himself cursing his past self for treachery against his present self

America. And it was within my professional memory that stores and companies would withdraw anything Muslim related following the invariable protests, so I am particularly grateful. 🇺🇸

International law is neither international nor a law. The Holy Roman Empire would understand

A friend worked to the bone on a work project. Had to get up early to take children to their employment. Planned an extrication and drove them early morning to enable rest. Left a card on glasses so friend wouldn’t be blindsided by waking up in empty house

At this point, Congress’s power to declare war is the placard on a Smithsonian Exhibit. It retired. Around the Truman administration.

“Police arrested a man for a burglary in a city he had never visited after face scanning software deployed across the UK confused him with another person of south Asian heritage.”

Objection. Vague and ambiguous

Wishing everyone who celebrates #RamadanMubarak

Made some light lamps for Ramadan ✨️ #b3d

The calls are coming from inside the house. One location ping is nothing. A thousand pings is a biography. That is digital exhaust, and it is where Fourth Amendment doctrine starts to sweat. #Privacy #DigitalExhaust #FourthAmendment #CivilLiberties #appellatesky www.iboymag.com/essay-sgul-l...

If the Solicitor General is to be called General—when really Solicitors General are Solicitors, not Generals— I think it only appropriate that we henceforth refer to any Associate Justice as Associate.

For those who are grateful that they protect #privacy by opting out… your neighbors have it, every establishment around has it… no man is an island and all that.

Something for my children to look forward to inshallah. 🇺🇸

This might be my nerd like instinct, but don’t government vehicles have government plates? This appears to have NY plates.

A future that was never forecast. #privacy #iot

Testimony no. I can see this happening at a deposition.

When #AI meets #appellate law. #appellatesky www.linkedin.com/pulse/credib...

Durham County. For a federal office. Someone didn’t take civil procedure.

A venue statute for delivery rooms: be a citizen, pay taxes, pass the bar, and still get bounced because your birth certificate has the wrong zip code.

I have a lawyer yakking litigation strategy on the plane. Seriously. Shut up. #lawsky

Discworld QOTD, from The Light Fantastic

Clearly, he’s on a mission from God.

Inconceivable!

How come every damn flight is “completely full” every dsy, and asks for volunteers to check bags. Having done that for American Airlines, being bounced around for months, and then denied compensation for a “late claim” (as soon as their people would process it… nope.)

Raffi, I’m truly sorry. I was honored to meet your father at SCOTUS; his warmth and pride in you were unmistakable. In the Muslim tradition, we say, “From God we come and to Him we return.” Wishing you and your family strength and gentle days ahead.

Mourning mentor and friend, Charles “Chuck” Cole, who led #Steptoe appellate with brilliance and kindness. Wise, patient, and unfailingly humane in a profession that doesn’t always reward those traits. He was a man, take him for all in all; I shall not look upon his like again #appellatesky

Wow

To have it happen once is an unfortunate accident, to have it happen twice…

AI law went from vibes to code. EU’s AI Act bars some uses. US regulators have proposed 59 AI rules. Britain decided to enact self compliance pledges into law. The hands-off stage has left the chat. #AI #law #privacy

Ah #AI tells me that speech about Muslim issues (not anti-Muslim bigotry… Muslim issues in general) is considered “high risk” and runs into “guardrails” that don’t affect other groups. With this approach, the future will be interesting. #ChatGPT

spaceballs, the heist!

bit.ly/3JOvhG3 he would’ve said “take the deal.” #lawandorder

I don’t know any state that doesn’t. Had a related case once-apparently goes back to ye olde Europe, Montesquieu, separation of powers, and that the authority of the executive branch didn’t rest entirely in the Governor.

Not saying I once lived in this apartment, but not denying it either.
