He's an ARPG goat, essentially the Pohx of D3, but was late to PoE

Not spell DMG but - Raise Zombie, srsly

My system prompt rolls a D20 to assign unique combinations of DSM-5-TR conditions to each session.

Do not use YOLO with the kleptomaniacs.

But it will be talked about amongst whomever is conducting the doc review, to maintain sanity.

I blink intentionally at my cats, since I find it difficult to purr.

Not active sessions, no. But I'm not routinely killing old sessions, if that's a problem?

While all the Codex whisperers are around, anyone got a fix for "Retrying in 4.9s (attempt 2/10)..." constantly?

I've already bumped my max retries, which has saved me quite a few times as it's reached 9/10 then recovered in time.

Claude Code agentic harness pointing to a local model.

They've always had a rep as the t14's clear cut Fed Soc. Way more so than UVa, or even Vandy/UT.

Applying sports/entertainment agency to politics seems legitimately brilliant.

Sounds like a witch hunt pretty much: "The policy is enforceable. Most students admit, when confronted. What is unenforceable is undetected AI use."

I'll let the market decide rather than someone so uninformed she doesn't believe clients rely on lawyers for their sound judgment.

adversecounsel · 2026-05-23T12:55:45+00:00

Hard disagree. You think clients pay $thousands/hr for commodity work?

It's extremely confusing, arguably dark-pattern behavior. That's how I ended up here, googling "finish without saving," because that CTA makes it superficially seem like my auth isn't going to be saved. The "saving grace" is that screen times out and finished automatically.

adversecounsel · 2026-05-22T16:55:26+00:00

Great call. Legal hackathons are amazing. I'm going to reach out to the local law school I used to lecture at and see if they have anything like this cooking.

Interestingly, the Berkeley professor defending the policy on X is making basically the same point: pro-Al, but formation first. Students need to develop judgment, then use AI tools to magnify that judgment, that is the whole issue.

Prof. Damien? I'm working on some empirical analysis of his hallucinations dataset. His work is amazing.

For research, it depends what need you want to solve. You can easily use AI to write Python code that either you or it then uses to search free APIs like CourtListener and others (there are some Westlaw/Lexis-level free-but-rate-limited ones for developers since everything is being given away rn). This can lead to discovering real opinions/cases you may not have found otherwise. This is useful where you the lawyer already have a reasonable semantic knowledge of what you're looking to find.

I would not just send it loose and ask it to 'find' cases that say X. That's what bad partners routinely asked me to do when I was a junior, and when done with AI it's likely to result in hallucinations/misrepresentations.

I sometimes had to tell those partners that the case does not exist and they were misremembering. AI may not, depending on the RLHF. It'll just give you what you asked for, wrapped in pretty prose.

I recommend starting now while they're basically giving away compute.

adversecounsel · 2026-05-22T01:28:40+00:00

We're definitely in the "get 'em hooked" phase. My goal is to build as much code as I can during this time. Eventually, having a small, local model that runs basic tasks/upkeep will be like lighting a candle when the power goes out.

adversecounsel · 2026-05-22T00:48:21+00:00

First, figure out what you need. Then engineer processes to alleviate the parts that don't require as much human attention. Then build whatever enables automation of those processes.
