Michael Cohen, the former lawyer for Donald Trump, admitted to citing fake, AI-generated court cases in a legal document that wound up in front of a federal judge, as reported earlier by The New York Times.

I… don’t even. I lack the words.
I’m genuinely amazed at the calibre of people running the US. More so that aparently half the nation thinks its the best choice.

We’ve seen little other than the loss of economic and social liberty in the last 40 years.
99% of voters still choose the same two parties in charge of it like clockwork.

The impending doom of the fascist right is the only thing keeping me voting for the dems. If we had rank choice I’d be so much happier voting every election.

Women are getting jailed for miscarriage, cops are hanging out lackadaisically outside a school shooting on their phones with zero consequences, homeless jumped 12% in one year, and the big issue is sending hundreds of billions more off to other countries’ wars.

I think this is fairly reductive. I work in a related industry. Often it’s the best lawyers working for the shadier clients, for obvious reasons.
And this is the guy they want testifying about 45?
‘my honor, I object on the grounds that the prosecution witness is incompetent’.
Stable Geniuses. All that bunch.
You mean like what happening in Gaza right now? You think all those weapons of war made the last half decade don’t have AI routines programmed into them? You think the Iron curtain works like space invaders with people clacking buttons, or an aim bot shooting wildly before you can even comprehend there’s a target to shoot at?
I… don’t even. I lack the words.
Have you tried ChatGPT?
