Hey #lawfedi what are your go-to resources for learning the ins and outs of contract drafting?

As a teacher, I've come to understand the utility of new tech isn't always obvious until it becomes ubiquitous, until you have a chance to truly play with it. "Why on earth would I want a video projector in my classroom?" I thought at the turn of the century. Now, I couldn't live w/o it because it turned the "teacher's computer" into a "classroom computer." That's why I'm playing with LLMs, to discover the possible.

E-books are fast becoming tools of corporate surveillance

As the Internet Archive appeals a court decision blocking alternatives to digital book licenses, a new report reveals that the world’s largest publisher may be selling readers’ intimate personal data to the highest bidder.

A paper of mine was just included in a collection at the MIT Computational Law Report.¹ So it seemed like a good time to tell you about its novel #ML method (M) for scoring free-response questions. Given the text of student answers, AND NOTHING MORE, M can produce a ranked list of answers that more closely match the order given by a human grader (H) than a random shuffle (R).
