Goodbye Lawyers: The Last Billable Hour

The horse didn’t disappear when the automobile arrived. It simply stopped being essential. Artificial intelligence may be forcing the legal profession into a similar reckoning. When a $20 monthly subscription can research case law, organize evidence, draft motions, and explain legal procedure, the age of the billable hour may finally be facing its greatest challenge. Somewhere, an attorney is still billing in six-minute increments while AI has already finished the paperwork.

Dear Trump & Kudlow: This Is Not ‘A Golden Age.’ Your Delusions Fuel the Rise of the Democrat Socialists (DSA)

Yesterday – on Sunday, because the Internet never rests? I received in my inbox an op-ed from Larry Kudlow.

For those of you who don’t know…:

“Lawrence Alan Kudlow is an American conservative broadcast news analyst, economist, columnist, journalist, political commentator, and radio personality. He is a financial news commentator for Fox Business and served as the director of the National Economic Council during the Trump administration from 2018 to 2021.”

I’ve met Larry. He is a very nice guy.

That said: Kudlow is a standard-issue Washington, DC center-right economy guy. He is exactly the type of Republican economist – that is killing the Republican Party.

Kudlow’s economic messaging – is the Republicans’ economic messaging. And it is more tone deaf than a year’s worth of nationwide karaoke contests.

Preemptive Request: Zero Government Bailouts for AI Fails, Please

The US’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) self-feeding frenzy is still…frenzy-ing.

Except everything about it seems fake.

The US’s Large Language Model (LLM) version of AI seems to be (at least) years away from the promises being made to feed the frenzy.

Which can be seen as a partially good thing – since no one has any idea what to do with the hundreds of millions of humans they tell us US AI will un-employ.

Governments’ (Flock) Spy Systems: Yet Another AI-Data Center-Privacy Nightmare

Much has rightly been made of the monstrous amounts of resources – water, electricity, land – data centers use.

Data centers that are now being built, we are told, to feed the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Data centers are being called “data centers?” Because the far more truthful “surveillance centers” and “human replacement centers” would be an even tougher sell.

What Is Going On With The Seemingly Sudden Emergence Of Scary Data Centers That Threaten To Run Your County Water Supply Dry, Overwhelm Your Power Banks And Drive Your Utilities Through The Roof?

NSA Director GEN Keith Alexander’s philosophy increasingly based on the belief that you “can’t analyze data you do not have,” which led to a massive NSA Data Center project in Utah some 5 or so years later code named Bumblehive that enabled massive storage capability on a scale never approached before that only increased the already somewhat paranoid and conspiracy focused public to think the worst: many of whom would be proven right.

It’s Hard for Good Policy to Get Noticed in DC

As I’m sure most of you have noticed? Our federal government is a titanic, monstrous mess.

In all of human history, there has almost certainly never been an entity this dysfunctional and disorganized.

And the fact we have allowed something this messed up – to get this huge? May be the most grievous error in human history.

AI is supercharging the US-Iran meme war

Iranian embassies are flooding social media with viral AI-generated memes mocking President Donald Trump for the Iran war. CNN’s Will Ripley explains how “slopaganda” is accelerating a new kind of information war.
