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...

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...

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...

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.
