Just got the lighting in! I still need to clean up the wiring, but it's very soft light and just enough in the dark. All solar, via a little panel in the side window.

The counterargument in the ChatGPT lawyer debacle is that the AI's summarization of the precedent, being based on a statistical summary of the relevant legal debates, is a better Hayekian distillation of the common law tradition than any ordinary exercise in legal pedantry carried out by humans combing Westlaw. The hallucinated citations are a purer form of the caselaw than any merely existing cases in our sordid sublunar realm could possibly aspire to being.

An [presumably] expired certificate making all Surface Pro X webcams stop working. Oof.
