Clearly ChatGPT needs to do better... for example to back-fill hallucinated citations with fake cases
No. ChatGPT was never designed to write legal briefings. Also it is not ChatGPT's problem that these lawyers did not verify their filings. As a matter of practice they should have checked their own work.
Sanctions is a good step but the punishment needs to be much harsher if you want this as a disincentive.
For a lawyer, sanctions is a disincentive as it appears permanently on their record. Lawyers have to apply to be admitted to practice cases before a court especially those not in their normal area. Courts routinely ask if a lawyer has been sanctioned. Courts can turn down lawyers who have been sanctioned.
How hard can it be to get ChatGPT to verify it's own sources?
If ChatGPT could verify it's own sources, it would have hallucinated them in the first place.
Does it not apply here? I mean, these people are lying to a judge, in court, under oath
No perjury does not apply; however, courts have rules for lawyers specifically in this case of a federal court, Rule 11.b
(b)Representations to the Court. By presenting to the court a pleading, written motion, or other paper—whether by signing, filing, submitting, or later advocating it—an attorney or unrepresented party certifies that to the best of the person's knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances: . . .
(3) the factual contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery; and . .
Punishment is covered by Rule 11.c
(c) Sanctions.
(1) In General. If, after notice and a reasonable opportunity to respond, the court determines that Rule 11(b) has been violated, the court may impose an appropriate sanction on any attorney, law firm, or party that violated the rule or is responsible for the violation.
Having my DNS queries encrypted is very low value. It just seems like one more tactic by large companies to squeeze out small companies, much like DKIM. It's got marginal value and "solves" a problem that spam filtering already took care of decades ago only to make it harder for small server operators so they'll hopefully throw up their hands and give the business to Google or M$, instead. That's what they want, not "security".
And what method do you propose that your DNS queries have not been tampered with? DNS runs quietly in background every time you use a web address. If someone were to redirect DNS queries of [yourbank.com] to their [fakebanksite.com] and got your banking credentials, I would guess you would not think that was of "marginal value".
Most people are not worried about their DNS traffic being examined.
That is not why DNSSEC exists. The reason DNSSEC exists is so that DNS queries cannot be altered so when when you ask for the IP address for [yourbank.com], a malicious attacker has not populated queries with IP addresses of [fakebanksite.com]
And the problems with DNS traffic being altered or redirected has yet to be a widespread enough problem for the masses to care about.
So we should wait until a fundamental part of how the Internet works is exploited for people to do something about it? DNS cache poisoning was found to be exploitable in 2008. DNS was patched to plug the exploit. It was not actually fixed.
Poor people want to leave their poor country and move to a rich one, news at 11. One doesn't really have to contrive a bigger narrative to explain it.
And the fact that poor people are seeing their land disappearing has nothing to do their reasons? It must be because they are poor, right? Everything is a nail when all you know is hammers.
You're literally asserting one has to have been physically present to assert a fact? I guess the entire concept of information transmission has passed you by.
It is when someone uses it to imply a sense of authority or expertise when it comes to facts. He did not cite any other source of these facts. His assertion of fact was specifically that these islands have gained land but since he has never stepped foot on these islands what does asserting he has visited islands mean? Nothing.
I'm not an astronomer, but I recognize a hack when I see one. Dark matter was a hack. Dark energy was a hack on a hack. Now they're hacking the hack to the hack
I think you completely misunderstood the article and research. The article is not stating the evidence is weakening for dark energy. It is saying that new evidence is finding that dark energy is weakening meaning that it is not as constant as previously thought. It may be variable. The research is adding more evidence that dark energy and matter exists.
Don't let it accumulate heat in the first place.
And what is your magical solution to defy the laws of thermodynamics and not let heat "accumulate" when the temperature is over 110F like it was in this latest European heat wave?
I haven't been recently, no. But what I know is that previously, like decades ago
And that is behind a paywall so nothing can be verified.
Results highlight a net increase in land area in Tuvalu of 73.5ha (2.9%), despite sea-level rise, and land area increase in eight of nine atolls.

The issue in Europe is people simply do not understand how to cope with the heat.
What are you talking about? Hot summers have always been an issue everywhere. The problem is the intensity of high heat is now a more common occurrence every year instead of every decade.
AC is the idiots solution to warm weather.
And your solution to cool a house in the record summer heat is what?
The problem is one of house design, it's cultural (try get a glass of water in Europe without paying a euro for it).
WTF are you talking about? The problem is many homes are older in Europe and designed before central AC. As such adding central AC in the last 50 years was not easy for the average home in Europe. That has nothing to do with paying for water especially bottled water.
It's one of behaviours, and house design - our neighbour has huge windows, no awnings, sun streams into his house turning his entire place into a giant greenhouse
And what does that have to do with Europe in general?
We installed an awning and our temperatures drop about as much as theirs do expect we don't use electricity for it.
Well good for you. That awning helps with 100+ F heat so I take it so you don't use any electricity for AC when it hits over 100F?
The thread is about AC, not "mini split heat pump and cooling".
You do understand that some mini-split heat pumps are AC units, right? In the US they are becoming more popular as they fit a need like for older homes that were not designed with central AC in mind. Mini-split pumps require as less work/renovation to install.
When I left Britain quarter of a decade ago, yes, very few had air conditioning, and I suspect that's still the case. Air conditioning is expensive, and people are far more frugal in Europe than in the US.
Also the vast majority of homes in Europe would be older and not designed for central AC. So adding central AC units would not be easy. Mini-split units and heat pumps are newer and easier to retrofit into older homes.
