I agree. Lawyers are becoming digital. Now all we need do is eliminate the flesh and blood bits.

Digital Lawyering: Advocacy in the Age of AI
All lawyers are now digital lawyers. From Zoom hearings, to e-discovery, to AI-enhanced research and writing, the practice of law increasingly requires the skillful navigation of a wide range of technological tools. It’s no longer enough to be book smart and street smart. More and more, you also have to be byte-smart.
To help future lawyers navigate this transition, I recently created a course at both the University of Michigan Law School and the University of Chicago Law School called “Digital Lawyering: Advocacy in the Age of AI.” The course takes a skill-building approach to artificial intelligence. Which tools are worth using? What questions are worth asking? And how do advocates of all kinds continue to add value to clients—and promote justice—in a world increasingly populated by chatbots, algorithms, and a wide range of other powerful digital products?
This paper collects thoughts from the presentation about the course that I delivered at the "Law and Justice in the Age of AI" symposium organized by the Michigan Technology Law Review on November 18, 2023
AI ain’t human? What a concept!

What makes full artificial agents morally different
In the research field of machine ethics, we commonly categorize artificial moral agents into four types, with the most advanced referred to as a full ethical agent, or sometimes a full-blown Artificial Moral Agent (AMA). This type has three main characteristics: autonomy, moral understanding and a certain level of consciousness, including intentional mental states, moral emotions such as compassion, the ability to praise and condemn, and a conscience. This paper aims to discuss various aspects of full-blown AMAs and presents the following argument: the creation of full-blown artificial moral agents, endowed with intentional mental states and moral emotions, and trained to align with human values, does not, by itself, guarantee that these systems will have human morality. Therefore, it is questionable whether they will be inclined to honor and follow what they perceive as incorrect moral values. We do not intend to claim that there is such a thing as a universally shared human morality, only that as there are different human communities holding different sets of moral values, the moral systems or values of the discussed artificial agents would be different from those held by human communities, for reasons we discuss in the paper.
Interesting hobby.
High-altitude balloon intercepted by US fighters over Utah a 'likely hobby balloon': NORAD
The balloon has since left U.S. airspace, officials said Saturday.
… A U.S. official described the balloon as being 50 feet tall and carrying a payload that is the size of a two-foot cube. It is not known what the payload might be carrying, the official said.
… The development comes slightly more than a year after a Chinese spy balloon was tracked across the United States before being shot down by U.S. fighters over U.S. territorial waters east of South Carolina.
That balloon measured nearly 200 feet in height, was equipped with a payload described as being the length of three school buses that carried intelligence sensors and was capable of being maneuvered remotely.

'Most disturbing website on Internet' can find every single picture that exists of you
… A website called PimEyes is the platform responsible for the plethora of results when you look for yourself and it's been dubbed 'the most disturbing website on the Internet'.
The basic premise is that you give the site a photo of yourself and it searches the internet and AI to identify any other pictures of you that are on the web, so you can in theory see all the places on the internet where there are images of you.
The basic service is free, and you simply need to upload a snap of yourself and then search. Within a minute or two you'll be faced with pictures of yourself from anywhere they're currently sitting on the Internet like Facebook, LinkedIn and that weird headshot on your work's 'About Us' page.
Yet it's not always 100 percent perfect so you might find the odd 'likeness' thrown in for good measure.
If you choose to take your image quest one step further you could pay for the upgraded search which can do a much more in-depth search and also provide links to every single place the pictures appeared; quite useful if you then want to get them taken down.
Equally you can 'opt out' as PimEyes does allow people to remove themselves from appearing in people's searches, but they want a scan of your ID or passport to verify that it's you doing this.
