This feels right to me and suggests a real irony: that in the process of trying to replicate various forms of expertise, ML apps end up making actual expertise more valuable.

it seems very possible that we are now exiting the brief window where a good fraction of all of human knowledge was searchable & instantly available. a window that starts with the invention of the search engine & ends with the invention of large language models.

You absolutely love to see it: “Under current Board law, there is no effective remedy to deter an employer bent on defeating a union campaign by committing serious ULPs that tend to make a free and fair election unlikely.” Cemex, slip op., at 28.

A captive audience ban could also be challenged on First Amendment grounds, especially before this Court. I'm angry but not shocked that two of the liberal justices went along with this. 8/8

I should be clear that the memo does not provide a comprehensive treatment of these matters and should not be construed as providing legal advice. We wrote it to assist with public and private debates on point within law schools, advocacy organizations, employers, and agencies.

This feels like a very exciting moment for legal theory and critical social theory. I keep encountering new work that draws both from materialist & discourse theories, or tries to bring the “old” tradition of grand critical theory into the present without its deep structuralisms

Bargaining would give workers rights to consult or bargain over new technologies and surveillance practices, so that they can make sure those devices are not used to erode the quality of work.

Substantively, the case opens a narrow window for state tort and other anti-labor efforts. But SCOTUS does this all the time in an effort to shift the law. States will begin a million "experiments" to make it harder for workers to strike, some of which will pass muster. 2/

I'm not going to meme this but my unpopular opinion is that we have always lived in isolated epistemic communities, and non-elites have always had political opinions that elites find incomprehensible. What has changed is that social media has made this visible to elites.
