Is this feature available for everyone? Or are they slowly rolling it out?

I noticed that if you visit a website from the Google Search results, then go back to the the results, you are now given the option to "ask more" about the website. If you click, you are re-directed to a Gemini conversation prompted with the website URL.

Also, as the article points out, when demand for litigation goes up without an attendant increase in supply (i.e. judicial capacity), some (perhaps meritorious) litigants get pushed out. And I'm not sure just appointing more judges is the solution.

I regret referring to this as battle-hardened.

In light of these stories, I wonder if AI will reduce "access to justice," either because courts will sanction AI-assisted litigants with fees or vexatious designations.

The interviewer from Industry?

My dad already gets so (rightfully) worked up whenever we pass the Reagan statute at DCA. Re-naming Dulles to Trump has the potential to kill him.

Govt rushing to adopt AI (nascent and untested) while failing to implement public key infrastructure (mature and battle-hardened) is a puzzle. Perhaps a sign of govt tech/industrial policy shifting from bureaucracy to move fast; break things.

There's a saying about how power clouds judgment: the higher you go, the thinner the air. But it's a little on the nose for the president to start saying even crazier things once 35,000 feet in the air.

This figure is kind of side result but is still p noteworthy. I see a lot of claims about opinion length changing over time but (to my knowledge) no one has actually ran the numbers.

Musk’s Madisonian Insight—And Its Troubling Consequences The Department of Government Efficiency’s seizure of government databases is not just an act of bureaucratic reorganization. It is an act of constitutional restructuring.

Brilliant (as always) piece by @bridgetfahey.bsky.social on why gov’t control over data is of constitutional moment. Yes it implicates societal and individual privacy concerns but also structural, constitutional grabs of power. Brava. Read www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

House Republicans defunding the police (as well as schools and emergency services) would be a bigger story if there weren't so much other craziness going on.

Walking into majority-undergrad spaces on campus and seeing every third screen with chatgpt open is stunning. Can't imagine the paranoia I'd feel grading.

To be clear, this is a congressman from Oklahoma blocking DC from spending over $1 billion of local (not even federal!) funding. Such a blatant attack on our principles of self-governance. If Congress tried this anywhere else there would be riots.

OK, I'm starting to get details on what it would mean for D.C. to revert to FY24 spending levels now that we are halfway through FY25. D.C. charter schools would have to cut $165 million. DCPS, $183 million. D.C. Fire, $42 million. MPD, $67 million.

I don't use GenAI much but it saved me a ton of time parsing raw HTML today. Wrote briefly:

Beyond time for courts / reporters to start numbering by paragraph instead of page. Makes referencing way more consistent. Canada already does this!

Reading Marbury for the 3rd time in law school is making me appreciate how much I've learned since the first go round.
