After 8 weeks, I broke down and created an "AI" to help answer emails based on preset scenarios and an "AI"-mediated Q&A. See how it worked out, and learn how to make your own here. https://sadlynothavocdinosaur.com/posts/emails/ Spoiler alert! It hasn't taken over my inbox (yet).
Do yourself a favor. Write down the books you've read. Otherwise, some day you'll find yourself wondering if that book looks familiar because you put it on a list to read or because you read it already. Faced with this dilemma, I used "AI" to help extract and clean data from 10 years of emails and online receipts. The result: a list of 400+ books I've already read. Here's a blog post laying out how I did it, and how you could do the same. https://sadlynothavocdinosaur.com/posts/archeology

@e7f76f0d I love this sort of thing as an issue spotter because for me it underlines how the same tech can be used to produce output that clearly infringes but (using other examples) also output that doesn't. I love the complexity of something which is not all or nothing. Reminds me of VCRs.
@e7f76f0d your summary from yesterday reminded me of these cases I used to see as a public defender where car rental/leasing companies would report cars stolen as a means to get the cops and courts to deal with their contract disputes. Basically, they wanted to turn the cops into their repo men and the courts into their collection agents by trying to make a civil dispute into a criminal matter. The end result was getting taxpayers to foot their cost of doing business. 😠
Work from home provides for some interesting "memories." This afternoon, the 5yo got to show off her watercolors to a member of our state's supreme court. Side note, if you're a supreme court justice and you engage my daughter in a nice discussion about her art, you become my favorite supreme court justice.
A good number of you know that I run @acfe394d (a bot that boosts #LawFedi content), but did you know ICYMI has a sibling?
@a0cec04f is a bot that posts links to laugh lines in #SCOTUS arguments. It's a great way to engage with the cases and a nice occasional distraction. You should tell all your friends! ;)
This week we were doing a photo shoot for @32435a3d, and one of the associate deans approached the university photographer about getting a new head shot. They didn't want to become "one of those professors whose photo makes students question if they're in the right room." Hats off to you dean. Hats off.
I love the ability to edit posts and burden my friends with unending edit notifications as I ruminate over proper syntactic and semantic constructions. Yeah, that introductory clause really didn't need a comma. Um, for clarity I really should have said X, not Y. Wait did I put two spaces after that word...?
@e7f76f0d there's something tragically funny about how I now seem to know more about these types of cases from your social media outreach than the plaintiff's attorneys in this case did. :(
Thank you for your service. :)
@abb65a6d my understanding is that the plaintiffs got the court to take action ex parte making use of tools only available under trademark. So whether or not they have a copyright claim, they abused the court by asking for extraordinary action that is only available for claims they don't actually have, nor it would appear did they have a good faith basis to believe they had them. @e7f76f0d
