Den här som jag precis boostade är en så himla fin påminnelse om allt gott med mänskligheten. När vi delar, dansar och gläds tillsammans. Jag önskar att det fick vara vår minsta gemensamma nämnare oftare, inte pengar, krig och elände.

Palantir’s vision is the philosophy of Nazi political theorist Carl Schmitt dressed up in jeans and a hoodie. It is fundamentally anti-humanist, presents permanent conflict as inevitable, and seeks to build a technocratic power structure without even the minimal constraints of democracy.

District Court judge permanently enjoins the “Kennedy Declaration,” voiding the regime’s effort to heavily curtail gender-affirming care. As always nowadays, we can’t count on higher federal courts to uphold this judgment. But no matter what, we have another example of a trial court judge showing what it is to do justice in the face of fascism. 1/ https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ord.191371/gov.uscourts.ord.191371.93.0_1.pdf #LawFedi

The opening of the opinion will go down in history as a vital expression of pro-democracy adjudication. “Unserious leaders are unsafe. There is nothing more serious than our leaders’ dedication to the rule of law so that we might maintain the integrity of our constitutional democracy. This
case highlights a leader’s unserious regard for the rule of law. This case demonstrates how disregard for the rule of law does not merely result in an abstract infraction. … 2/

I wrote up this cursed discovery with more details:

Deleteduser.com —a $15 PII Magnet

When is a delete, not a delete? When it’s an publicly routable placeholder.

i was quite surprised to discover that no one had registered deleteduser [dot] com, and was curious to see how many emails i'd get if i registered it, assuming many orgs 'delete' logic probably just overwrote the email address with [email protected] or similar.

The answer, is at least 3 different orgs in the hour that I've owned that domain and been listening for email.

And yes, all of those emails contain the actual PII of the person who has been 'deleted' :-D

@MarkHoltom Someone, of course, explained the joke at length in a blog post three years ago. (I found this while trying to find out who "Ella Niemans" was and if this was a real quote or not (probably not)).

ICH BIN EIN BINLINER

Imagine getting the brief to write some copy on a fucking bin bag and then smashing it out of the park like this. Sensational effort.

Adobe Has Run Out of Allies

Shifting priorities and a move to appeal to B2B has left Adobe alone. Now as enemies gather at its gates, it has run out of allies.

A colleague alerted me to this order in a criminal appeal in which experienced counsel filed a brief generated by Westlaw's CoCounsel AI (not Chat GPT). It cited real cases but generated fake quotes and misrepresented holdings.

The results:
1. He will not be paid for his work.
2. He was removed from the case.
3. He was referred for discipline in two different courts.

No thanks. My law partner and I have set clear rules for our firm. AI use is not allowed.
