Northern California prosecutors used artificial intelligence to write a criminal court filing that contained references to nonexistent legal cases and precedents, Nevada County District Attorney Jesse Wilson said in a statement. The motion included false information known in artificial intelligence circles as "hallucinations," meaning that it was invented by the AI software asked to write the material, Wilson said. It was filed in connection with the case of Kalen Turner, who was accused of five felony and two misdemeanor drug counts, he said.

"The Nevada County District Attorney's Office has, in at least three criminal cases in recent weeks, filed briefing citing to fabricated (legal) authority," wrote lawyers for the nonprofit Civil Rights Corps, which is representing Kjoller along with a Nevada County public defender. In his petition, Kjoller, who was ultimately convicted on the firearms charges, alleges that all three cases included examples of AI use gone wrong. The petition includes examples of six cases cited in a brief filed in connection with Kjoller's bail hearing that his lawyers say appear to be hallucinations.

Now I’m just a simple country lawyer but it seems to me that if you use a predictive text generator to send people to prison you and everyone in your supervisory chain should get disbarred.

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command.

If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics.

It’s trials w real punishments.

Paramount Has Blacklist for Stars Deemed “Overtly Antisemitic” — World of Reel It sure looks like the likes of Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo won’t be making movies for Paramount in the foreseeable future.

Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows.

Does this sound familiar?

Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

Nancy Pelosi secretly being queen of the stock market and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez vocally opposing elected officials profiting off the stock market feel like intrinsically connected facts that quietly explain their instant bad blood the minute they became House colleagues

I'm sorry but the best comparison for Wicked is that it's Solo with singing. It is absolutely wild how many things they try to explain the origin of that really didn't need to be explained. There's an explanation of how the good witch loses her sleeves

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.

Bad oral health isn’t indicative of poor oral hygiene. You can take great care of your teeth (diligent regular brushing) and still have cavities and gum disease. Affordable dental care is critical to good oral health.

In his interview with Klein, the congressman cited some of the unintended consequences of decriminalizing and legalizing the drug. Recalling his days working as a state prosecutor when Massachusetts voted in 2008 to decriminalize marijuana, Kennedy said the decision affected the ability of police officers to search and seize other illegal items, such as guns, from vehicles. “If you smelled [marijuana] in a car, you could search a car,” Kennedy said. “When it became decriminalized, you couldn’t do that.”

joe kennedy III in 2018 spilled the beans himself on some of the factors here on why plenty of dems are still extremely hesitant to go in for legalizing weed and it's not just because 'calcified to imagine they're still in the I Didn't Inhale era'. prosecutors! cops! www.boston.com/news/politic...

i maintain the biggest factors here stopping movement on this is dealing with the influence from cops and prisons on this... as well as one unspoken part the government sees in for itself, free prison labor for the state. you see reticence around legalizing weed, check local prison labor laws.

What is happening at Goddard is absolutely devastating. We are losing history. We are losing an incredible amount of human talent, skill, and knowledge. Rebuilding it will be impossible same for same. Industry can not absorb the people or the equipment. This is undoing space science in the US.

If you're wondering how this will go Square Enix handed off their mobile Octopath game to NetEase who immediately started using ChatGPT to translate everything resulting in text like this. When players complained they started asking fans to fix their translations in exchange for in-game currency

Señor Wences last went down,
On the Feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about,
Deep and crisp and even.

In a voice most cruuuueeeel

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee.

I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

When the freelancers and contributors did the trans rights letter we really thought the fact that they think highly enough of us to pay us to write/draw/shoot for them would have made them pay attention. Just the opposite: It triggered their innate contempt for their perceived lessers.

Mark Zuckerberg Opened an Illegal School at His Palo Alto Compound. His Neighbors Revolted Neighbors complained about noise, security guards, and hordes of traffic. An unlicensed school named after the Zuckerbergs’ pet chicken tipped them over the edge.

SCOOP (free, as it's FOIA-based!): I obtained 1,665 pgs of documents about "Bicken Ben," a growing private school the Zuckerbergs ran illegally out of their Palo Alto compound

Neighbors complained the school for years. Then, in 2024, they reached their breaking point:

Hey @mayor.nashville.gov, are we really going to build a call center in Nashville for people to snitch on their neighbors to ICE? Who is approving this?

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

The haters said they couldn't do it. And they were right. Honestly, great call from the haters.
