New Digital Battlefield AI & Litigation
Fri, Sep 18, 4:00 PM**Summary:** **“It’s all academic until you get sued.”** This quote from presenter Brad Frazer well summarizes the best kept secret of the U.S. legal system: nothing you do, whether it be signing a contract or registering a copyright or taking out a loan, has any real impact on you unless you get sued or you need to sue someone. Short of that, it all remains largely an academic exercise. You live your life essentially unaware of the underlying legal obligations you have accepted. And this truth necessarily invokes that part of the U.S. legal system called “litigation.” “Litigation” is what happens when you get sued or need to sue someone to get them to do, or not do, something. “Litigation” is a year-long class in law school called “Civil Procedure.” You are lucky if you’ve never experienced litigation. It is expensive and exhausting, and often the only people who get paid are the lawyers. The lawyers on both sides get paid no matter who wins. AI has had a dramatic impact on litigation, however. Now, more and ore people are using AI to seek justice through litigation without using lawyers. Courts are thus being overwhelmed by people representing themselves using AL. The upside is that more and more lawyers can be more efficient and less expensive using AI to sue people. But using AI in litigant comes at a high cost. From hallucinations, to sanctions, to case dismissals, to wrong outcomes, using AI in court is the Wild West. This session will explore what litigaiton is, how it works and the impact of using AI in court. **Brad Frazer's Bio:** Brad Frazer is a partner with Hawley Troxell and is Chair of the firm’s Intellectual Property & Internet practice group.

Open Source System Administration Study Group
Sun, Sep 13, 6:00 PMThis group will learn about system administration topics with hands-on collaborative learning on a homelab setup of four Dell servers. A description of this session's plan in down below. We’ll deploy components like LDAP(authentication), Ansible (Infrastructure as Code), NextCloud (file storage), OpenStack (Cloud computing), OpenTofu (IaC Terraform fork), containerization and other open source software. We also intend to explore clustering, certainly high-availability and possibly compute clustering. We've setup the hardware, installed the OS, and established procedures and documentation standards. Now we're starting to work in small groups or individually on projects. An under-construction list of project ideas is at https://wiki.hackmanhattan.com/Project_Ideas. We have room for a few new people. Sign up to this event, come and do the exercise, and you're in. Join the Hack Manhattan Discord and say hello. DM me there with your email address so I can sign you up for a wiki account. Please bring a laptop if you can. We'll have a limited number of machines available you can use.
