It doesn’t come as a surprise that lawyers are using AI tech in legal practice, but British legal authorities and firms have gotten a bit wild: buying pallets of NVIDA GPUs to build their own data centres, submitting briefs with AI hallucinations of fake laws all the way to the point that judges have to admonish them, and running an all-AI legal service called Garfield Law.  We brought on British law understander Sapheen Meran to explain this to us, and the fact that all lawyers apparently still love the show “Suits.”

Sapheen is the other half of Second Homes along with Nate, and you can check out our debut album “Find a Way to Hate It” here! (It’s also available on streaming everywhere!)

Editor’s note: this is something of an unusual episode, sorry! It’s just Nate and Hussein, but we’ve brought on journalist Nathan Akehurst, the author of the forthcoming book Along the Watchtower: Dispatches from Europe’s War on Migration. However, we have to talk about the Piddington referendum, the immediate fascist piggybacking that’s happened since, and the surprise discovery that a small village in Oxfordshire has a quite highly rated omakase restaurant.

We dragooned friend of the show Tom Walker to discuss the recent Will Gluck film ONE NIGHT ONLY, which can be described as an intended meditation on life in a fascist society that somehow instead just lectures the audience about how it’s better to wait for marriage. Abstinent Times at Ridgemont High. There’s Something About Chastity. All sorts of ways to look at it, but—as the cast discovered—the best way to look at it is to watch it on a cam rip feed with endless gambling ads overlaid.

We temporarily pivot to America because we have the opportunity to speak with Charles Star, a friend of the show and a law understander, who can give us insight into just how much the U.S. Supreme Court has retooled itself to enable total right-wing capture. However, we also have a chance to speak about Trump’s ballroom, its impossible proportions, its Sims-tier design, and Trump’s own declaration that gold is “God’s favourite metal.”

We believe in the marketplace of ideas. That’s why we’ve made it so that Cory Doctorow responds point by point to an article written personally to him by a16z about why his Enshittification thesis is wrong. Then, in the back half, we talk about AI and LLMs as real technologies rather than mystical, theological entities (with mystical, theological market assumptions).
