⚖️Law & Order Crimes and trials

Btw, megyn Kelly’s been going over that Nashville trans shooters manifesto on her podcast. The police and media really played down the trans angle. Trans can really be mental illness.
 
An artificial intelligence-generated avatar was the source of contempt inside a New York courtroom after judges quickly realized the attorney arguing a case in front of them was not real.

The scene unfolded as Jerome Dewald, a plaintiff in an employment dispute, approached the stand of the New York State Supreme Court Appellate Division's First Judicial Department on March 26.

"The appellant has submitted a video for his argument," Justice Sallie Manzanet-Daniels said. "We will hear that video now."

The screen powered on, displaying a handsome young man wearing a button-down shirt, seemingly sitting in a home office.

"May it please the court, I come here today a humble pro se before a panel of five distinguished justices," the man said. Suddenly, Manzanet-Daniels interrupted the video and questioned the authenticity of the apparent attorney.

"Hold on," Manzanet-Daniels said. "Is that counsel for the case?"

Dewald confirmed the man was, in fact, his representative, and told the judges, "I generated that. That’s not a real person." The fallout was immediate as the judge clearly expressed her disapproval of Dewald’s choice to present an AI-generated video.

"It would have been nice to know that when you made your application," Manzanet-Daniels said. "You did not tell me that, sir."

Dewald reportedly submitted a letter apologizing to the court, explaining he did not have a lawyer representing him in the case and had not intended any harm.

"The court was really upset about it," Dewald told The Associated Press. "They chewed me up pretty good."

That's insane. First of all I am surprised that any court allows a video submission in lieu of an actual appearance. Second, what made him think this was a good idea? Finally, the judge said something about him using the court as a means to advance his business - which is of course an AI legal service:

Dewald, who operates a startup called Pro Se Pro that aims to help unrepresented litigants navigate the US legal system without hiring lawyers, had planned to use an AI service called Tavus to create a realistic video avatar of himself to read his argument to the court.

Lauren has led a colorful life ... she wrote a book, "Some Girls: My Life in a Harem," which chronicles her time as a "guest" of the Prince of Brunei.

Didn't we discuss what happens to those girls who go to the middle east to sell themselves?
