Lawyers face judge's wrath after AI cites made-up cases in fiery hoverboard lawsuit

MrMerrymaker

what are you paying for

I mean if you are giving lawyers money you're already going wrong but I don't see how this is dereliction of duty or inherently fraud

This sort of thing must be human-done, if it's advertised the humans are doing the research.

On this evidence their jobs are safe...

Re: False perceptions by 'creators

You're a fucking retard mate, you attract downvotes cause you write like you have fascist beliefs and you're egotistical

Re: Be Brave

The smallest of differences if you're concerned 1) how we pages are processed and 2) where the source code ultimately comes from.

MrMerrymaker

Re: Firefox anyone?

Would the downvoting idiots like to explain why my post about 1) Firefox with extensions helping privacy and 2) A long standing bug, was bad for you?

I'll have to post more, so you can get used to the truth.

MrMerrymaker

Re: Firefox anyone?

I've used Firefox for a couple years now.

A private experience indeed, though I loathe the bug on android where it'll refresh a page if you look at something else for even half a second. Making a mockery of 2FA

MrMerrymaker

Re: Be Brave

Chrome based though.

Firefox has ad blocking plugins even on mobile.

Sleuths who cracked Zodiac Killer's cipher thank the crowd

MrMerrymaker

Re: Infamy

He did claim more, but yes, the ciphers were the big element. It is somewhat impressive to write a cipher that takes decades and decades to crack.

Zodiac is notable for this and the fact he got away with it. He was also interesting for a serial killer in that he changed his methods. Somewhat suggesting he was doing it for notoriety, rather than the classic serial killer fixations.
