Some very funny lines in this article about a federal judge who denied having sex WITH A COP in her judicial chambers, for over two years, where her clerks could hear them!
[SPOILER: she got a slap on the wrist & was only identified by Bloomberg news.]

Whene’er you lecture, be concise: the soul
Takes in short maxims, and retains them whole:
But pour in water when the vessel’s filled,
It simply dribbles over and is spilled.
[Quidquid praecipies, esto brevis, ut cito dicta
percipiant animi dociles teneantque fideles:
omne supervacuum pleno de pectore manat.]Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 2, ep. 3 “Art of Poetry [Ars Poetica; To the Pisos],” l. 335ff (2.3.335-337) (19 BC) [tr. Conington (1874)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/horace/33634/

Quote of the day, 21 January: Mother Agnès of Jesus
Recently a tiny shellfish gave me a lesson in interior recollection. I had difficulty in opening it because it resisted strongly, and I said to myself: “It is quite a vigorous little creature: no one would think it is so far from the sea.”
It taught me a great lesson. I must be sufficiently filled with the water of recollection to resist as strongly as he did the pressure of work and various happenings of the day, anything that could make me lose the drop of water which makes possible my union with God.
Mother Agnès of Jesus, o.c.d. (Pauline Martin)
Little Counsels of Mother Agnes of Jesus, OCD Saint Therese’s Sister, Pauline (excerpt), Compiled by the Discalced Carmelite nuns of Ada (Parnell) Michigan

But I've seen some outside of an educational context as well. This one is absolutely horrific. It's another case of a #lawyer using an LLM to generate #court filings of one type or another, without even checking its output to see if the brief makes sense, cites actual case #law, etc.
This is a #sanctions order from a #judge in this particular case. It is gripping reading.
https://cases.justia.com/federal/district-courts/mississippi/msndce/1:2024cv00074/49169/79/0.pdfIn short: the lawyer was caught submitting briefs with "hallucinated" #citations, either to cases that did not exist, or to cases that were unrelated to the legal point the citation was being used to uphold. An opposing #counsel contacted their firm about such an incorrect citation, and the firm did some cleanup, did some continuing legal education, instituted an "AI" policy, instructed the #attorney about what was forbidden, etc. And then that attorney ... just kept on doing it. Even after judges started noticing problems in submissions, this lawyer just kept doing it.
It was so bad that it basically caused the #implosion of the law firm.
Incredible.

It's been a bit of a learning curve as I'm not familiar with the philosophy of the transient #API and #vibe coding with an #llm fails hilariously because this is a super niche of a niche. Any tips on how to save a set of arguments on a per-project basis would be appreciated. #hothacking

“We are seeing very quick turnaround with certain cases,” Ms. Méndez said, adding that the lack of #access to #counsel raised serious concerns about #DueProcess violations.
She said that federal #immigration agencies had refused to release to lawyers the alien identification numbers of the people who had been detained, making it difficult for the lawyers to locate their clients in the federal database that is used to track #immigrant detainees.
