Wow. For years, an official in Arkansas allegedly tampered with bar exam scores, pulling points from some test takers and giving them to others.

This caused numerous failing exams to pass, and resulted in "at least one instance" where an otherwise passing exam fell below the requisite threshold.

I think @ProfArbel is spot on here. Hallucinations, for all their notoriety, are largely a short-term engineering problem.

To my mind, the far more important question is how the legal profession and academy should evolve to work synergistically with machines that will soon be far more capable of complex analytical work than we are.

At a conference on AI & legal profession. I'm sorry folks, but you are over-indexed on hallucinations. You aren't calibrated on the magnitude of the problem and it's possible that one reason is psychological. It's comforting to think that the robots will never be as accurate & diligent as we are.

*I am NOT saying that AI doesn't hallucinate or never makes mistakes; indeed, I believe that it does.

An interesting bit of trivia—the Texas Business Court is actually located on the first floor of the Texas A&M School of Law. We even share a break room.

But shockingly, no one yet has reacted to my go-to greeting: “Howey doing?”

Important new Texas Business Court decision: After reincorporation from Delaware to Texas, the state of incorporation at the time of filing (here Texas) governs derivative standing and demand even when the claims accrued while incorporated in Delaware. 1/ txcourts.gov/media/1463428/…

Admittedly an unpopular opinion, but I think even Yosemite Village itself is hugely disappointing. Imagine how much more majestic the valley would be without a grocery store (and federal court!) between El Capitan and Half Dome.

Minimally, it should be like Zion, with lodging outside the valley, and low footprint transit in.

A developer wants to build a short road in the park for his planned resort. Opponents say it would set a terrible precedent. on.wsj.com/4y9iyAT
