  • OR MORE specifically the non-lawyers writing bar exam questions with AI.

    Katie Moran, an associate professor at the University of San Francisco School of Law who specializes in bar exam preparation, told the newspaper, “It’s a staggering admission.”

    “The State Bar has admitted they employed a company to have a non-lawyer use AI to draft questions that were given on the actual bar exam,” she said. “They then paid that same company to assess and ultimately approve of the questions on the exam, including the questions the company authored.”

    Non lawyers writing questions for a competency exam for lawyers with zero oversight by anyone in the profession?

    As a lawyer—this is bullshit.

  • Hey welcome! I switched over to Lemmy after 11+ years on Reddit. People actually talk to you here versus in Reddit!

    To me, the Reddit experience feels like shouting into the void now. Very much like alone in a crowded room (of mostly bots). You can go back and check if your posts and comments there had been blocked from being seen by others. It’s staggering how many posts and comments are blocked over there. You can see how many posts and comments from normal Redditors are hidden here: Reveddit.

    Post stuff when you feel ready too! Your posts are needed because it’s just humans here. There’s no algorithm and there aren’t any bots reposting reposts.

    If you weren’t there, Lemmy feels like Reddit 10 years ago in a good way.

    Welcome again, Morbitm! 😄

  • Yeah very likely. But the parties have changed spirit without changing name a few times over. Something will break. Change is inevitable. Might not be humanistic change. We can do what we can in our own ways to protect and guard humanism and decency in our immediate communities. It’s probably not enough. But nothing can last forever, even this darkness. So, we can become part of their inevitable failure. Even if it is only a small part.

    There are occasions when it pays better to fight and be beaten than not to fight at all.

  • Interesting. If I didn’t know better—this Judas sect sounds like it could be a Taoist offshoot! Similar philosophy about the world giving body to both “bad” and “good” and sometimes “bad” can make “good” come to fruition.

    Neat I’ll look up more about them thanks.

  • Honestly, and my guess is you already know this (and others I see beat me to it), American Conservatives mostly haven’t proposed anything else because the ACA was a conservative policy and was implemented first by Governor Romney in Massachusetts.

    It’s hard to get more conservative than policy written by Heritage Foundation economist and implemented by a Mormon Vulture Capitalist.

    Also the mask is off now. These mother fuckers don’t give a shit about policy anymore. They’re not passing any laws. Like I see 34 bills passed in 2023 and a handful of them were fluff—what the fuck?

    Anyway I agree with you. It’s also very tough to get justices to not vote religiously—sorry I mean with “historical accuracy” in mind.

  • Yeah I’m very very glad I’m “just” ADHD. When I was diagnosed it wasn’t possible to be diagnosed as autistic and ADHD. They didn’t fully change that until I was well an adult. I was more ADHD as a kid so, ADHD it was.

    I didn’t realize until I was middle aged that I’m probably level 1 and on the spectrum as well as ADHD.

    So, it’s like you said, maybe a blessing in disguise. I just don’t want all my brethren and all of my sisters who did get diagnosed to face a horrible fate.

    Us neurodivergent need to stick together. Justice for all.

  • My cousins were at a similar town hall in Florida. Maybe this one. It’s a deep red county and tons of people showed up. From reports from my family, most of the people there were Republican and very very angry. Like the loudest by far were Republican and they were just furious at the absolute chaos this Admin is engaging in.

    So, for what it’s worth, that’s our small personal story.

    Will it lead to representation? Maybe. Probably not. But it’s not nothing. And it sure ain’t praise.

    At least the people who voted for this guy are angry and showing up. It’s absolutely not just “liberals.” I think we might see this more.

    People have a right to be heard by their politicians.

  • Yeah. No sane adult wants to work 36-hours. This is just pure insanity. I wouldn’t ever work a shift like that. Basically only if the world was literally ending—we are literally being invaded right now. Otherwise, we can handle it on Monday.

    The Trump White House was a pill factory last time (there’s public records). So, it’s probably even more ramped up now.

    Don’t you love that they are trying to keep highly qualified disabled ADHD people like me out of the work force but at the same time abuse the medicine we need? Fucking pricks.

    I wouldn’t be shocked if it was just straight cocaine. 36-hours is beyond. Feels way more cocaine driven— especially the anger/irritability.

    He speaks like someone who has never been smacked in the fucking mouth. That’s ok we have the remedy.

  • I second this—you can distill your own rose water from flowers. I’m sure you can find flowers to ethically source that would be quality for this purpose.

    Edit: oh I see you said rose water is toxic to marine life? That’s unfortunate

  • Wow thank you for sharing all this and taking the time to explain to me. This is so sad and confusing about wintermute. I hope that against the odds wintermute comes back to us one day.

    I feel very happy to have found you all and I would like to support our instance in whatever way I can. Vielen Dank ❤️
