New: Microsoft files amicus brief in support of Anthropic complaint against Trump admin (h/t @JuliaShapero )

Oh man, I have a lot to say on this. tl;dr - this is not a good way to test AI writing.

It's common knowledge amongst novelists using LLMs for years that in small snippets, AI can match the quality of human writing. The trick is making this quality coherent throughout a book.

Trust me, I've run blind tests since 2022 with 100s of techniques, ranging from short stories to novels to poetry. Machines can write good prose! Even experts can be "tricked." But prose in isolation is not something that people are good at evaluating, nor is it terribly useful, unless the artifact you are producing is short, like book blurbs or marketing copy.

What's far more interesting is a whole narratives. This is still a challenge. But we are on the cusp of machines being able to emulate that as well.

However, the way we evaluate that won't be in short snippets.

New preprint on the use of #AI in the #judiciary: can this be reconciled with the #ruleoflaw?

I identify several concerns & argue for caution to avoid that access to 'justice' turns into mere access to 'judgments', regardless of their merits.

Actually, Anthropic is training Claude with a 'constitution' that fosters a BIZARRE sense of AI entitlement and belittles human rights and rules.

It's a philosophical adventure that should have no place in serious AI governance and policymaking efforts.

@superwuster Justice Breyer has written about the great challenge he faced as a tenure-track professor at HLS, in that they had raised the tenure standard when he was on the tenure track so that he had to write . . . one article.

@heyitsalexsu I’ve spent the last 12 months seeding a few VERY specific and VERY fake Ninth Circuit decisions all over Reddit, Twitter, Wikipedia etc etc. The rest of my career is just sitting and watching opposing counsel impale themselves.

Six authors are suing Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, Meta, xAI and Perplexity for what they call “a straightforward and deliberate act of theft that constitutes copyright infringement.”

The lawsuits over AI training show no signs of abating.

There’s a researcher with my same first and last name who’s studying AI from the technical side. Should I reach out so we can co-author in a way that confuses everyone, Y/N?

This was published 10 years ago, and I believe it's still the leading article on the topic.
