Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Stupid sexy robot judge...

One thing an adversarial judicial system like the American one is that if one party sloppily use GenAI to write their documents, they can lose, because the other party can point that out. A lot of the excuses to use LLMs in software development is that modern software development is terrible anyway, so if you can get your slop to market faster than some other schlub, you probably won't lose customers. When there's a balanced incentive to point out hallucinations, they (hopefully) won't get that far.

That I can see. Unlike software "engineering", law is a field which has high and exacting standards - and faltering even slightly can lead to immediate and serious consequences.
