Revealed: Could ChatGPT pass the SQE?

An AI text generator tool took the US Multistate Bar Examination. Dr Andrew Gilbert attempts the same experiment with the multiple-choice SQE1.

An appeal to Legal Mastodon: does anyone know a Canadian lawyer who can advise a trans 19-year-old in an abusive home situation? She is on the spectrum but entirely competent.

Cricut cutting machines, ubiquitous in schools, libraries and makerspaces, can be used to make embossed or stenciled #TactileGraphics. A Braille embosser costs at least $1500 — Cricuts cost a fifth of that or less. Today I learned that I can handle the hardware and make great stencils: all that holds a Blind #maker back is a set of unlabeled controls in the software. Does anyone know somebody at #Cricut I could talk to about improving #accessibility? Boosters beloved on this one!

Silencing, withholding information and a ‘veil’ between ministers and civil servants

Over the last two weeks, the Post Office inquiry has heard of several instances where crucial information or dissenting opinions were silenced in the early days of the Horizon project.

EU Council adds breach of foreign policy sanctions to the list of crimes which the EU can harmonise law on:

https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2022/11/28/sanctions-council-adds-the-violation-of-restrictive-measures-to-the-list-of-eu-crimes/

(Second step is a proposal for harmonisation, expected soon from the Commission - the Council and European Parliament would then negotiate it)

This is the first time a new 'Eurocrime' has been added to the list of crimes the EU can harmonise - an earlier proposal to add hate crimes has not been agreed so far.

Sanctions: Council adds the violation of restrictive measures to the list of EU crimes

The inclusion of the violation of restrictive measures in the list of ‘EU crimes’ is the first of two steps to ensure a similar degree of sanctions enforcement throughout the EU.
