Michael Cohen, the former lawyer for Donald Trump, admitted to citing fake, AI-generated court cases in a legal document that wound up in front of a federal judge, as reported earlier by The New York Times. A filing unsealed on Friday says Cohen used Google’s Bard to perform research after mistaking it for “a super-charged search engine” rather than an AI chatbot.

I don't know if you're into podcasts, but Adam conover's podcast Factually is really great. They have an episode called " what's the left gets wrong about the right" and it dives into how the right is primarily a reactionary movement to social and economic progress to try to maintain power for the owning and ruling class. It's a really great episode and it hits a lot on some of the similar points that you were mentioning with the unions. It's definitely worth checking it out If you've got like an hour to kill, It's super dope.

Conover’s rant about the Patagonia founder’s billion dollar donation to avoid taxes and set his kids up is really good too.
