viewed from a long way out, you are going to make a collection of good and bad predictions. it's worth going back to 2011, 2012 and looking at _how_ they thought AI would work, how that affected their judgments about the risks, and how those judgments reattached themselves to new implementations.

AG Bondi Day 1: She will go after those “who substitute their personal political views or judgments for those that prevailed in the election.”
Since when does DOJ enforce the “political views or judgments that prevailed in the election”? BAD start.

This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.

Docket Text

691
PAPERLESS ORDER as to Waltine Nauta, Carlos De Oliveira. On or before 10 a.m. on January 12, 2025, the United States shall file a supplement to its Opposition to Defendants' Joint Motion for Further Stay in Light of Ongoing Appellate Proceedings 690. The supplement shall indicate whether Volume One of the Final Report directly or indirectly refers, relies, or bears in any respect upon any evidence or argument relevant to any of the charges alleged against Defendants Nauta and De Oliveira in this case. If Volume One contains any of the foregoing, understood liberally, the United States shall so indicate in its public Notice and thereafter file a corresponding sealed, non-ex parte supplement with particularized details, by the same deadline. The Court understands the United States' representation that Volume One does not
"mention Defendants Nauta and De Oliveira or their conduct at issue in this case" [690-2 p. 22]. The Court is also aware of Defendants' belief that Volume One "bears on this pending criminal case" [689 p. 2 n. 1]. The following motions remain pending in this Court and have not been ruled upon: Joint Emergency Motion as to Defendants Nauta and De Oliveira 679; Motion to Intervene and/or Participate as Amicus Curiae by President-Elect Donald J.
Trump 681; and Defendants' Joint Motion for Further Stay as to Pending Motion for Injunctive Relief 689. Signed by Judge Aileen M. Cannon on 1/11/2025.

snap judgments about precedent settled since 1898. Sure, pal.
lol multiple justices asked how do you actually get to the merits quickly and DOJ is basically like 'you don't, and you shouldn't, this should percolate for a while in multiple cases, they've been making snap judgments and should think about it'
bitch! there's nothing to think about! it's obvious!

It’s so cool that we have a pejorative epithet for using actual data to inform our judgments about the state of the world.

Defying a court order does not merely test the judge. It tests whether everyone else still agrees that judges issue orders.
