Comment Hallucinations (Score 2, Interesting) 71

Given that the current "AI" systems make up things a good percentage of the time, how could you ever trust a mathematical proof that they created. Any important mathematical proof uses previously proven results as a starting point. It seems likely that an AI faced with a problem and not having the required tools would simply hallucinate them.

Comment So don't (Score 1) 87

So don't go to these so-called elite institutions. There are plenty of less expensive schools that will provide just as good an education, especially at the undergraduate level. People want to go to these schools in the hope making contacts that will aid them later in life, not for the education. This is mostly a false hope anyway. The people you want to get in with, will stay with their own in crowd and have nothing to do with you.

The bar exam is normally a function of the state bar association not the state government. No body owns anything. You have to pass the exam to practice law in the state. This actually dates back to the early days of the country when many lawyers got their education by apprenticeship rather than at a school. It is supposed to insure that, if you hire a lawyer, they will know what they are doing. You can take the exam multiple times (apparently few people pass on the first try in most states). Of course, considering some of the goings on in our legal system (including the Supreme Court) one has to wonder how well the system works.

Comment First year law student exam (Score 2) 41

I am more interested in the fact that 48 questions came from a first-year law student exam. Wouldn't missing even one of these raise questions about the exam takers knowledge? A certain level of basic knowledge would seem to be implied by merely having a law degree before even taking the exam.

There is unfortunately a nearly unlimited supply of people who are in desperate need. Refugees from various wars or persecuted minorities, for example. Small subsistence farmers who have lost their livelihoods to changing climate and soon people made redundant by LLMs (that probably cannot do their jobs but replace them anyway.
