I think this article really buries the lead—what really allowed him to win was leverage. He says that’s an over beers info, not a blog post. But that’s actually what let him win—not learning from the LLM how to understand his lawyers arguments better.
OP told you what he could in a public forum and left out a few things for private. Its only fair.
The incentives are against you. Lower costs lets defendant fight it out longer with less $$ for lawyer. Law firm isn't spending more hours to earn less. So you gotta have a friend with this skill and a vested interest or do the legwork, which OP suggest AI was for him.
I don't agree AI had a significant part to play here. The leverage, whatever it was isn't likely to be public. Certainly wasn't AI as the title suggests.
This is the reason I think the 'AI' angle of the post is less interesting than how he came to understand the power dynamics and strategy of the situation. Maybe AI helped him reach that point, but it could easily have been a lawyer friend or family member playing that role
Because the point was how he used AI, not the actual leverage.
In my case, I used small claims when a contractor took my money and didn't perform work. The threat of losing a lawsuit was enough to get the money back.
I suspect the plaintiff did something that would allow Tyler to countersue, or otherwise there was some kind of threat of negative publicity / tattle to other customers.
Yea. My daughter is 15, and while I don't think she smokes, when we've talked about the dangers of vaping and smoking, she has said that she would never vape, just because it's so lame, but that she finds smoking so much cooler.
Electronic cigarretes should be made at least as bad smelling as the original ones. Without the foul stench that acted as a barrier of entry before, I suspect vaping has potential to eventually get >50% of the population hooked.
In the Netherlands, we banned flavoured vapes. Now every 12-16 year old has a vape dealer. Just banning is not enough. Society needs to decide vaping is as bad as smoking.
Currently it's still somewhat accepted to vape inside of public buildings. Which, IMHO, is insane

Well because second hand smoke is so obvious and real and second hand vape... I mean... I'm not convinced it even exists. I see the vapor for about 2 seconds then it's gone. I can sniff as hard as I want, I'm not smelling anything.
But smoking? Woof. I could tell someone smoked 2 hours ago from 10 feet away. My fingers used to smell like ash 24/7. Even walking past someone 20 feet away, outside, in the wind, you can clearly smell cigarette smoke.
Unfortunately the evidence that vaping is as bad as smoking is mostly from faulty studies, p-hacked studies, or misinformation. Which will ultimately blow up in the face of those trying to push it. The same way "Weed will make you jump out a window" just made kids blanket distrust all "weed is bad" messaging.
I'm not arguing for or against vaping, just stating that the negative health effects from vaping appear to be rather minor. In it's pure form its just nicotine and propylene glycol. Nicotine is well studied and similar to caffeine in harm (outside the addiction) and PG is used in medical inhalers (along with almost everything else, seriously its used in food and cosmetics everywhere).
It might help to know that hillsdale college is a training ground for far right folks. It presents itself as a bastion of free thought but caters to exclusively well off far right folks.
If you watch the video you can see tugs moving the boat. Current speculation is that the tugs/harbor captain messed up and the ship got away from them in the tide and drifted backwards into the bridge.
Their web interface is extremely unreliable. Pretty much every time I need to renew or checkout, the web site doesn't work. I have to try over multiple days before I get through the process fully. If you try to contact support, it'll take a few days and you get the worst kind of form responses.
This has reminded me to start migrating domains away, so the timing is good.
Iirc, either Carter or Daniel Jackson pretty much said something along those lines in one of the later seasons. Not the BC part specifically, but about why stargates were usually on planets pretty comfortable for humans.
But the overarching point is that even shows where at least one of the actors (RDA) were given an award by the US Air Force for their depiction of the branch, were largely filmed outside the US.
Do. Not. Trust. Microsoft. Why is this a lesson that has to be learned over and over again by people? It's been extensively, exhaustively, documented over the years.
The leopard doesn't change its spots. The scorpion stings the frog. Microsoft screws over people. Lessons learned in childhood that still hold true today.
