Funny enough, the rise of chatbots didn’t get people to drop their lawyers, it got more people to file pro se. Sovcit-level bullshit on an industrial scale. “They call it a confidence game, why? Because you give me your confidence? No, because I give you mine”

If you want my analysis of how right-wing extremism exploits the weaknesses in American journalism, subscribe to my Stop the Presses newsletter. The weekly essay is free, but you can throw in a few bucks if you want to support the cause and get bonus features. Either way, give it a try.
