And lawyers have bought it hook, line, and sinker. What does that say about the state of our collective professional evaluative judgment?

This is the way. Lawyers have proven over and over again that they cannot be trusted with AI. Either stop using the magic box, or check your work!! Conn. Court Rule Would Make Lawyers Verify All AI Citations www.law360.com/connecticut/...

I've said it before... lawyers cannot be trusted with AI. In large part because AI cannot be trusted. Can we stop acting like AI is the new revolution in legal practice? We're looking pretty lame here as a profession, as if we needed more help with that these days. reason.com/volokh/2026/...

The annual Bunny Cake tradition continues!

It is ICE-Y at the Pittsburgh airport. TSA officers hard at work. These folks were on their phones and one was telling a sexist joke. On brand. Sure glad my tax dollars are paying for this. 🙄🙄

No thank you. This is not a future I want to see.

10/10 take. no notes

Wait a minute... so, is this because the "elites" want to remain so? Look at the leadership and participants in this venture. Are we really going back in time to when only certain law professors from certain schools are found worthy of having their work published? This is just gross.

Paul Weiss, Skadden, Milbank, Baker Hostetler, Willkie Farr & Gallagher, Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, A&O Shearman, and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett could not be reached for comment.

Every. Single. Day. Until it implodes. 🥳🥳🥳

Reducing human value to what we can be trained to do is straight up technofascism. Every fascism has its suhumans. To technofascists, humans are the subhumans.

Or, we could do away with this gatekeeping exercise and develop innovative pathways to practice instead. Bar prep is a full-time, UNPAID, job. Competence is only measured by your privilege. #barexam

One of my hopes/wishes for 2026 is the end of the AI scam.

Humans. We used to solve problems by being clever and thoughtful. Now we outsource our creative thinking to trash LLMs.

Behold! The negative implications of the Cookie Clause.

If only lawyers had some kind of guidelines, or, I don't know, ethical rules to help us do the right thing... LLMs are a scourge in the law right now. No end in sight.

Am I a fool for thinking we can still fight back? That this isn't how it all ends?

h/t @robertfreundlaw.bsky.social holy shit, an accurate legal critique of LLMs. LLMs don't reason because they're just stitching together plausible-looking sentences indifferent to the content

“History shows us that the right to literacy came at a heavy cost…those oppressed recognized that literacy is liberation. To my students & to anyone who might listen, I say: Don’t surrender to AI your ability to read, write & think when others once risked their lives & died for the freedom to do so”

Study after study shows that using LLMs is bad for cognition, bad for learning, bad for understanding, bad for mental health. So why are our schools and universities still relentlessly pushing them?

Trainspotting. The middle-aged American female version.

I think we know what to do here, authors.

Did women ruin the workplace?

Done and dusted. Just sad I can't vote in support of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in NY today! My PA elections will have to do. Go vote!!!

Surprise, surprise.

‘Study after study shows that students want to develop these critical thinking skills, are not lazy, and large numbers of them would be in favor of banning ChatGPT and similar tools in universities’, says @olivia.science www.ru.nl/en/research/...

My students are pretty cool. Happy Halloween!!!

“To leave our students to their own devices — which is to say, to the devices of A.I. companies — is to deprive them of indispensable opportunities to develop their linguistic mastery, and with it their most elementary powers of thought.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/o...

Federal Judges— or staff, but same-same— used "AI" to summarize & draft rulings, issued them w/o checking the work, leading to basic factual errors, & thus undermining the facticity & validity of the rulings entire. Gee. Who Could Have Foreseen. *stares directly into the camera like in the office*

At some point it has to become clear that this tech exists is to create a more toxic society and enrich its owners. These uses are not aberrations but rather the entire purpose.

tl;dr 1. Studies of genAI in the classroom show that it harms learning 2. The quality of AI-generated text is irrelevant to its most negative effects on teaching 3. The way AI has entered the classroom is as a money-making project extracting new labour, not a “tool” serving teachers’ actual needs

Innovation? Nah. Just Rule 34.

Yes, yes, it does.

Absolute perfection. 🤌😘 @merriam-webster.com

Or law. Or legal ethics.

Our third annual Duquesne-Kline Law faculty junket with the Prime Stage troupe here in Pittsburgh at the Homewood Cemetery. It is awesome to work with people you like to ghoul around with! @rlheppner.bsky.social @profherman.bsky.social

Imagine that! This is why I am a part of the Lebo Unplugged movement in my own community. Kids do not need cellphone access in school. It doesn't make them safer during an incident either. (Banning guns would, though. But that's another battle.)

And my Professional Responsibility class just studied the case that got him disbarred. Hard to teach legal ethics in this post-ethics world we live in, let me tell you.

Surprise, surprise. AI is literally the worst. Or the best if destroying human cognition is your end game.
