@davewiner I first thought yours were going to be circled.

@davewiner Feel like I did just that when I get on and tell people what I am working on, ideally to get feedback and ideas. You inspired me to do the same a long time ago .

Feels very much like the algorithms have taken that away from us when people get paid to teach others how to game the algorithms so as to get heard.

We need a social web that works for nobodies.

A Long History of Handwritten Police Logs Comes to an End. Good read in the @nytimes and something that appears to be coming to an end with legal publications. https://t.co/PLzmxkDHEA via @NYTimes

Libraries preserve tons of knowledge, historical facts & culture of generations. They still execute this function; the emergence of AI hasn’t changed it. On the contrary, AI has improved the work of libraries by making them more accessible and efficient. https://t.co/tX0TcoSdrx

Another reason for a library of the insight and commentary of legal professionals. As Alice Berry of @UVA reports, libraries are in a position to help train AI models. AI companies are increasingly reliant on archival materials held in libraries to train their models as they work through open material on the internet, and the statement provides a framework for responding to AI companies’ requests.

What is the function of a library in this AI age, per @UVALibrary’s Leo Lo? “A research library has always done two things: help people find information, and help them judge it. AI changes the tools, not the mission. If anything, the mission gets sharper. The library is also one of the few places in a university built to convene across disciplines, and AI literacy requires exactly that: technical knowledge, ethics, critical thinking, practical skill, and societal impact all at once. No single department owns that combination.” https://t.co/onaHWuFG21

Referring to improving AI’s digital diet, “Technology needs libraries just as much as we need them, shares Amanda Watson, Assistant Dean for Library and Information Services at @Harvard_Law. ℅ Scott Young in Harvard Law Today. https://t.co/Ab67h2rhu9

“My dad loved his books, and he loved sharing them with people,” says Ellen Sugarman, one of Sugarman’s two daughters. “He would be so humbled by this – he loved @BU_Law, but even more, he loved to mentor and support young lawyers. Even though he’s no longer here, we are allowing him to continue to share a little more of himself. It was very rare to spend time with my dad and not learn something new, so by reading a book he’s provided, we’re kind of keeping that going.” https://t.co/NF5u3t2xPU

2021 Justice Gap Survey: 62% of low-income seniors (65+) faced a civil legal problem in last year, 70% of their households did. Consumer, health care, income maintenance lead the list. They sought legal help for just 26% of those problems.

[Legal Services Corp. @LSCtweets]

Most prophetic tweet of all time (2 months post ChatGPT release). And you can safely repost it every day and it will still be prophetic for the future. This is the least the world will care about AI.

What's not wired into Claude through any of the legal connectors announced today is the way lawyers actually think about situations and subjects in the law. Their publishing, their insight and commentary. https://t.co/095vd2hP1T

Where is Substack headed? Writers leaving Substack may signal the platform is headed towards a social network versus a publishing platform. https://t.co/2AQBrbJ3wX h/t @photomatt

Real interesting. As the leader of a managed @WordPress platform for the law, I recently tested Substack for a few posts. Wanted to see what it was about. Quirky platform. Concluded @Substack investors are betting on social at the expense of writing.
