So the judge has a strong intuition the case should come out some way, and the law clerks say, I know, I know, but, you know, the precedents say this. And apparently the AI can do that just as well.

The problem is they ran this experiment on a group of judges who all gathered at Harvard for a day-long conference, and they got them to do this at the break. After the cocktail hour? I think at lunch. But then the judges, the judicial conference, basically all decided this was terrible and judges should not cooperate with this anymore because who knows what else the experiments would reveal.

Eight days? It's the eighth day of the Trump administration. Although in dog years, that's โ€“ or in constitutional years, it feels like it's been a lot longer. Yeah. All grant spending is paused right now.
