Corporate lawyers say AI-transcribed meeting notes may not have attorney-client privilege, making otherwise protected conversations discoverable in lawsuits (Sarah Kessler/New York Times)

All Those A.I. Note Takers? They’re Making Lawyers Very Nervous.
A trendy productivity hack, A.I. note takers are capturing every joke and offhand comment in many meetings. They could also potentially waive attorney-client privilege.

While I'm talking about new ways to structure computer programs, what does it look like to _push_ data into an LLM? Instead of making it natural language fetching, with huge privilege to do stuff, can we structure things to, say, have one system supply some data context, and push it into an LLM to arrange processing, and that in turn pushes to other systems for action? It's not quite “code and data are separate", but I think the inversion might help mitigate a lot of the lethal trifecta. It also puts humans in the artisan-director seat, rather than the wannabe slave-master's seat, metaphorically.

lol. I was so worried about signal being the death of record keeping i the US government but Nilay is on the verge cast explaining that if a lawyer tells you something and then you tell an LLM you loose privilege because you told someone else about the info.

Of course it's gonna be privileged kids doing more activism! It's the fact they use their privilege, “pass the mic”, and fight for a world where their circumstances aren't a privilege but a right, that's what matters.
When conservatives point out the privilege of their political rivals, it's never to actually criticize a hierarchical society, but rather an expression of the wish that their opponents had as little of a voice as the groups they marginalize.

And like.... I get it. I know these folks are terrible. But if you still have any of these people in your life, there is a level of privilege generally associated with that. Everyone who doesn't have the privilege needs you to use it now to help ease the boot on their neck.
Every crack in this system is important, even if it's just one more person who is out.
"When your ready enemy is strong, divide them. When your enemy is weak, attack them."
We're still in that "dividing" phase, and providing a path for folks to leave the cult undermines the power of the cult. The more people who leave, the faster they leave, the faster it unravels. If you hate Trump, and you still can talk to any of his supporters, now is the time to stop gloating and pointing out how stupid they are and to instead give them a way to leave. Most of them don't actually want to be defending a demented pedophile, so please help them stop doing that.

People who abuse their partners or others emotionally, sexually or physically should be brought to justice. Especially if they’re using their privilege to do so. Especially if they are in positions of power.
We need to shame these abuses of power and build and strengthen networks of support and trust, especially in our privileged circles as is our responsibility. We need to believe and support victims and people at risk. And we need to ensure that offenders face meaningful consequences…

Check your privilege. Some of us are ugly 24/7.

It makes sense that you don't have "Attorney-Client Privilege" with AI, if the AI you're using isn't licensed to practice law.
But the ability of the government to inspect AI sessions may be restricted by who is using them, eg a lawyer, and under what terms?

Very proud and excited to vote in the NDP leadership race today!!
This is not the first time I've voted in a Federal leadership race... more on that later but first, my choices! I considered only voting for two people, but I ended up filling in all 5 choices.
#1: Tanille Johnston @…
#2: Avi Lewis @…
#3: Heather McPherson
#4: Tony McQuail
#5: Rob Ashton
Why?
You might ask why I would publicize my choices. I don’t expect others to of course. It is a privilege and a right in Canada to exercise your democratic choice freely and privately, but I also think there is value in knowing how others voted.
#1 why Tanille? #electoralReform and proportional representation myself, I didn't just want to pick my top two. I wanted to make a statement on each of these candidates an influence each one.
To be blunt, Heather is #3 because she is the middle-of-the-road candidate. She is an excellent representative as MP and has gathered the support of other MPs including my own, but while I would be OK with her leadership, I would see her as a continuation of the status quo, and that is not what the NDP needs as a party, nor is it what Canada needs as a country.
We desperately need a vigorous and clear alternative to the Centre-but-mostly-Right Liberals, and the MAGA-wannabe Conservatives. The only way to do that is to catch the attention of Canadians and inspire them. I am not sure that Heather has the ability to do that, and if we continue with the same leadership crew in the NDP, I am not confident that the policy choices will be strong enough to inspire and attract Canadians.
That is why Tanille and Avi are far better options.
#4 Why Tony:

Tony is the real deal. Honestly, I would have loved to rank him higher. He represents the true life blood of rural, socially progressive, environmentally aware, Canadians. You should go check out his platform. I am so glad that he was able to participate fully in the race and we need his voice in the NDP.
#5 Why not Rob?
I have been an active member in my Union for more than 10 years. Unionism is The Way. Rob is representing a division within the union movement that claims that working people can't have jobs if the environment is put first. This is a lie.
We need union leaders that look to the future and speak honestly to people. We need union leaders who are genuinely progressive, not ready to do the bidding of corporate masters to the benefit of a few.
Working people need honesty, and when an industry is on decline, a clear path to new, excellent, union, jobs!
