Missed opportunity for a battle of the experts here. Would have loved to have a guy with a PhD explain how he had 50 sandwiches thrown at mannequins.
The “forcibly” issue hangs on whether any action — in this case, yes, the throwing of the possibly, possibly not, exploding sandwich — must have carried a risk of inflicting bodily harm.

The decibel levels for BART rides are perpetually hovering around the Danger Zone for the human ear, and they regularly surpass it. Most people don’t know. Our local leadership doesn’t seem to care. The SF laissez-faire attitude towards, well – everything – is our biggest flaw.

I watched a "Hellboy" movie for the first time recently — it was for work and I wasn't the only one. Apparently, xAI had dozens of workers painstakingly annotate a clip from the film as a part of a training process for a video project.

The late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg did several interviews with the Historical Society of the D.C. Circuit from 1995-2014. She stipulated that the transcripts would be available 5 years after her death. Those transcripts are now public. https://t.co/rZG2VK3Ppf H/T @palmore_joe

Lawyer previously sanctioned for including fake, AI-generated citations gets in trouble for it again. This time, the court notes that the lawyer's filing at issue contained no case citations at all. But it still cited a statute for something that the statute doesn't say. Court

Quite a few of us have the audio and transcripts of Peter Thiel's Secret Antichrist Lectures, but they are embargoed until tomorrow. I wonder how many people secretly recorded them!
Scoop: Peter Thiel, the billionaire venture capitalist and early supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump, has urged long-time associate Elon Musk to quit the Giving Pledge under which signatories leave the majority of their wealth to charity.
