@artemis The case of "Jarndyce versus Jarndyce" in Charles Dickens' novel, "Bleak House" isn't about a divorce, instead a contested will, but by the time the #lawyers have finished, there's no #money left for anyone in the #family to inherit! They get #rich, but their #clients end up #poor.

from what I have seen there is 20 families that owned that island & had their land taken by the government for a wildlife refuge.. One woman claims she still has the legal paperwork for ownership. how can it now be sold as a development property 30 years later ? #Albania #Lawyers needed #EU #America

I'm going to repeat the article title. Both #lawyers on both sides of a given case used ai. Not just one.

Ai is getting to a #mainstream and it's only been popularized in the last 1 or 2 years against the will of humans living on our planet, by #searchengines, video #Platforms , and some older past reports are how some ai is diving into being made open source, oh and I guess some open source distro's are also beginning to directly use ai.
