@sqgl @Popehat LOL, no reference to the judge being AI, this was a reference to everyone being a self appointed expert in AI last week, and now they are going to be self appointed experts on law this week. The week before, experts on train safety!

@msbellows Luckily I watched enough Law & Order back in the day to learn about that.

They won't do anything reasonable like decide he's a flight risk or a threat to public order. There won't be any demand that he surrender his passport. There won't be a bail amount that reflects his publicly portrayed wealth.
