  6. OpenAI's latest "innovation" is adding a section to their service terms about on-premises #software, because clearly, nothing says cutting-edge tech like paperwork 🤦‍♂️. Apparently, they're so forward-thinking, they've penned the contract before the product even exists—who knew #legalese could be prophetic? 📜🔮

  11. Yesterday's triumph: Getting a new legal document's verbage fixed from its default "husband and wife". I would have been content with "married couple", but I derive particular mirth from the new "wife and wife" wording.

  21. CW: Too boring for words.

    I am drafting a "rules of association". It is partly an exercise, and partly an guess at of something that may become real.

    Starting with the standard rules for an "unincorporated association": (acnc.gov.au/sites/default/file)

    But I am tired of organisations infiltrated by arseholes, and I wonder if it is possible to put standards of behaviour front and centre.
    I am inspired by Mastodon's "No Nazis", but I am not sure it is either specific, nor general enough.

    Please help. Does your group have something-like this? What have I missed, and, in the interests of sanity, what has been double-defined?

    17. Membership hurdles.
    17.1 The association insists on the following psychological characteristics and standards of behaviour from all members.
    17.2 No member will be accepted, and existing members will be expelled if they fail any of these hurdles.
    17.3 The psychological characteristics. Members must not be:
    i. psychopaths,
    ii. sociopaths,
    iii. narcissists,
    iv. liars,
    v. egomaniacs.
    17.4 The standards of behaviour. Members must never indulge in :
    i. crime,
    ii. racism,
    iii. misogyny,
    iv. criticism of person,
    v. aggression, threats, shaming,
    vi. coercive control,
    vii.prejudice, bigotry.
    17.5 The association explicitly rejects the notion that a person’s ability can replace or diminish their need to clear these hurdles. The most able and talented member will be expelled if they fail.

  26. Since I'm pre- internet, years ago when I was learning how to start a legal business, I spent alot of time in the libraries reading books. Along the way, I came across the U.S. Code and always remembered this section. It opened up a big rabbit hole for me.

    - Title 28 Part IV Chapter176 Subchapter A Section 3002(15)(a) = United States is a corporation.
