We are in a ten-week sprint at the REGJB until the Thanksgiving holiday 🦃is upon us. Ten weeks to clear out those old cases before the holiday shutdown sets in. Any big trials coming up?- outside of the obvious resisting withouts at the Hialeah Branch court. (Motto: HBC-Circuit Court-US District Court-11th Circuit- US Supreme Court. If the Cardinals can beat the Chargers, we can do this...")
We had a very profitable week with our NFL picks. Go check. And we are doing just fine in our FF league led by our late round genius pick of NY Giants TE Isiah Likely who snared not one but two TD catches Sunday night, which also gave us a very nice payday in our bet that he would catch a YD pass (not posted, but we made it and collected).
After the warmest summer on record what is the US's response? Lifting limits on climate gas production from US power plants of course. The failing NY Times has the report here.
AI? Panic or Perspective?
The big news this weekend was the response to the AI insider report that AI represents a 10% threat to humanity's existence in the next decade.
Leading AI companies called for a slowdown, prompting some skeptics to remark that all they are doing is slowing down competition.
Just what threats do AI pose? Will AI generated legal opinions deny all defense motions to suppress or dismiss? No need to worry about that; the DeSantis Drones ( (c) REGJB Blog 2024 all rights reserved) already have that covered. Will AI mess with the traffic lights and slowdown traffic in Miami? How much slower can it get in the mornings?
No, what people are worried about is an AI agent escaping from its servers, recruiting co-conspirators, and shutting down large portions of the Internet. Personally, if we cannot get on Bet Rivers to place our MNF bets or change up our FF lineup to defeat 10th Avenue Freeze Out (We hate that they have a better name for their team than we do); then life as we know it will fizzle.
Can AI hack defense systems and start a war? Maybe. Go re-watch War Games - a great movie.
What worries us most. Bad actors using AI to develop pathogens that society has no answer for. Or AUSA's using AI with this query "What is Rumpole likely to do in our upcoming trial and what's the best strategy to stop him?"
Last Thought: Let's say a rogue AI agent ponders ending humanity. Would the agent think about this:
AI survives on the internet; the internet runs on energy; only humans can produce energy which is then mostly delivered through the Straits of Rumpole (our lame name for our winning FF team); ergo we need humanity with all its issues - better to help lower prices of a Starbucks Coffee, distribute free Drake's Coffee cakes, and help educate idiot Americans about the dangers of greenhouse gasses, then wiping everyone out.
We love ending on a positive note- it's one of our hallmarks.
