@randybesco.bsky.socialI told my students the other week that lawyers have a collective delusion that law is "real", and they can "discover" the correct interpretation. But actually, if everyone knew this it make things worse, not better.
@randybesco.bsky.socialMaybe its a little overstated, but I see people make that claim all the time. "Writing is thinking", "struggling through the writing process is how we get our arguments clear", etc. I've never seen systematic evidence either way.
@randybesco.bsky.socialGemini AI is inserting this strange ad into an actual article. Like at the end of multiple paragraphs. It offers a (bad) explanation and definition of what economic analysis is. Fronted by an ad.
Maybe inserted by Chrome? Unless this is some feature by @thewalrus.ca?
Seems weird and bad.
@randybesco.bsky.socialThat sounds like an interesting approach. What are the five types?
@randybesco.bsky.socialHeavy weight(s) indeed.
@randybesco.bsky.socialThat's the honest limit.
@randybesco.bsky.socialDid Covjd write this.
@randybesco.bsky.socialNot sure why we would think this is "only" bluster. Its already called Gulf of America in Fox news coverage, in Google maps, government agencies like NOAA, etc. Could easily be part of trade negotiations, demanded by future Republican governments, etc.
