  • On Personalized Law through AI tools.

    Archie Bunker would love this idea — as long as the Christian cannons are the criteria. How an academically serious person can make the many suggestions that the professor provided is ridiculous. Now, … I have not read the book. If it is satirical in theme, Norman Lear would approve.

  • Good survey!

    When I read the headline to tonights podcast, I immediately thought the results would be slanted to the left because the study was done by a University. I wad wrong.

  • August 10th issue on AI with Rebecca Willett

    The contents of the podcast (based on the transcript) would not be essentially altered if every use of the term “AI” were to be replaced by “statistics” (or perhaps “computational statistics”. The current state of the AI research field is that it is dominated by “statistical” methods, such as “machine learning” and “neural nets”.

  • Big Brains is an amazing podcast, bringing up a host of interesting and important issues, some of which I wasn't even aware of, and bringing them to life in that classic University of Chicago way that I love so much. What do I mean by that? Rather than speaking in vague generalities, everyone is careful to explain what they mean anytime they throw out a generality, which allows for a discussion of sometimes very abstract ideas on a concrete and relatable level. Brilliant!
