Hey so those of you who thought the whole TikTok v. Garland situation wasn't a big deal because "it's just a divestiture", here you go. Anything we don't like is "national security" now. TikTok paved the way for this. www.anthropic.com/news/fable-m...

This article was basically exactly what I'd like all reporting on data centers to look like. A solid grappling with costs and benefits + interviewing locals who represent the full spectrum of opinion www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/arti...
I've learned a lot from studying how mental health specialists are navigating their patients' use of AI. As it turns out, there may be some valuable lessons there for law professors and the way we think about our students' use AI too. ctrlaltdissent.com/2026/06/12/w...

My next article (once I get the one I'm working on this summer shipped off) will be all about suicide and technology. Stay tuned! For now, some preliminary thoughts: www.techdirt.com/2026/05/18/w...
For my IP final last fall, I had my students analyze "Italian brain rot" for the copyright infringement Q. It appears we just got our first brain rot case...presenting a copyright question: www.uniladtech.com/news/ai/stea...
I get that plaintiffs' lawyers are supposed to be zealous advocates, but I've found much of the pleading in these suicide cases to be pretty icky. Here's the complaint: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

Incoming law students: I am begging you. Please, please, please take your legal writing classes seriously. Good legal writing/advocacy (and I mean *good*) is becoming a lost art in the era of AI. I'm telling you. This is a HUGE opportunity to stand out.
I called out John Oliver a few months ago for applauding regulation that effectively requires chatbots to solve the suicide problem. I was told then that it was unlikely chatbots would shut down all communications about suicide. Here is Gemini, today, shutting down a convo w/a researcher.
The FL AG suit against OpenAI is legally, technologically, and philosophically flawed. What bothered me most was the suggestion that Raine would still be alive but for ChatGPT. That framing is deeply problematic in suicide prevention. It erases agency, burdens families, and fuels stigma.
More thoughts on the AI / law school discourse. I'm trying to pinpoint the problem(s) we are trying to solve. Is the problem AI or is it that AI is revealing to us deeply rooted issues with law school education? I suspect the latter.🧵
Took a break from the desert to speak at Stanford Law School today about AI policy. 🤖
Law professors are significantly overestimating the capability of generative AI which is leading to some incredibly strange discourse. The take that we need to upend open book / take home exams because students are paying for fancy models is wrong. 🧵
AI demonstrated to law profs that their exams are not as sophisticated as they thought they were and now they're experiencing ego blows bc a robot trained on basic logic and Black's Law dictionary bested them. If you can't figure out how to write / grade a take home exam in 2026, that's on you.
