I personally always say "Please" and "Thank you" when conversing with artificial intelligence as a hedge in case Ai becomes all powerful, omnipotent and Master of the human race. Anyone who has studied "The Will to Believe" by William James will understand why.
But hey . . . if you prefer to talk down to it, go ahead and roll the dice.

Update: Amazon v. Perplexity
On March 10, U.S. District Judge Maxine Chesney granted Amazon a preliminary injunction blocking Perplexity AI from using its Comet browser agent to access Amazon’s website with account-holder credentials. Though it hasn’t attracted much mainstream attention, this may prove to be one of the most significant AI-related legal cases to date—particularly in defining the boundaries of “agentic AI.”
A major promise of AI agents lies in their ability to comparison shop, find favorable terms, and even initiate transactions on behalf of users. However, platforms like Amazon—along with other large retail sites—do not benefit from this type of automated competition. They prefer maintaining direct control of customer interactions during the shopping experience.
At the heart of the case is a critical legal question: can Amazon treat AI agents as “trespassers” even when those agents act with a user’s consent and credentials?
A generation ago, early Internet pioneers envisioned a marketplace that would empower small retailers. Instead, giants like Amazon now dominate through the “walled gardens” they control. Today, technologists are again promising a more consumer-empowering digital era through agentic AI—but cases like this will determine whether those promises materialize, or whether the current online power structure remains intact.

Lawyers are paid for perfection. Clients (especially corporate) are less concerned about fees than they are about being able to trust that lawyers will get it right. A two-sentence error in a bond indenture or merger agreement could easily cost a client 100X the legal fees it paid a firm to manage the transaction.
A new study on using Ai for coding, indicates a trade-off between the speed from Ai usage and work quality. The implications for law firms and law schools are important.
From a new study entitled: AI IDEs or Autonomous Agents? Measuring the Impact of Coding Agents on Software Development (Agarwal)
"Autonomous agents offer meaningful velocity gains only in new-toAI settings while consistently raising complexity and warning levels across contexts, reinforcing a speed–maintainability trade-off. "

If stable coin issuers are sincere about the financial well-being of account holders, they should be required to pay out 99% of their interest income they receive from their reserves if they are allowed to pay interest or "rewards" (as they call it).

I don't care what your politics are; Pam Bondi has turned the highly respected DOJ into a clown school. Vindictiveness and stupidity appear to be the main requirements to get ahead there (and poor plastic surgery).

Good thing there isn't much happening in commodities in Chicago.

SCOOP: There’s only one enforcement attorney left at the CFTC’s Chicago office.
Known as a group of heavy-hitters, attorneys and investigators in the Chicago office have had a role in most major CFTC enforcement actions since the birth of the agency in 1975. In recent months, that office has become a ghost town.
Three former CFTC attorneys say the office’s reputation made it an appealing target for reductions in force. “I believe I was retaliated against, along with some of my colleagues,” says one who lost their job last summer.
“Chicago is the spiritual home of the futures markets; it’s where it all began,” says one former attorney in the Chicago enforcement division. “To wipe out the enforcement staff in a place like Chicago sends a very bad signal to market participants about whether the government is watching what they’re doing and whether or not they have to abide by the law.”
Many attorneys pushed out of the agency were mid-career. “If I was a different person,” one told me, “I would launch a crypto scam right now, because there’s no cops on the beat.”

My gut is that crypto can go to 0 this time. The story is just tired and old. There are no earnings, dividends, or underlying assets. You can't live in it, eat it or drive it. Your only hope is someone will pay you more than you paid and there are no chumps left to find.
