There is enough controlling law publicly available to ascertain whether grounds for a suit exist, and for drafting sophisticated legal arguments for most actions in US federal court. I have not found the same for US state courts where law and especially legal procedure is deliberately not transparent (to the federal court system's credit, it is transparent). In my experience litigating pro se (by myself), I have found LLMs can assist effectively up to settlement for a a legal claim up to the low seven digits.

Just finished two years of federal litigation using only my $20 per month Chat GPT subscription. I was able to do legal research, legal strategy, draft and file briefings and legal memos including pleadings and replies. I was able to conduct discovery, including conferences with federal and district magistrates and judges, and ultimately forced settlement against a very well funded defendant with a large team of high-priced attorneys. I used Gemini and smart prompting to find relevant case law, forecast and defend against attacks and lateral counter-attacks, and proof my citations. I began litigation in 2024, when 4o was on hand to help out. If LLMs had not been availble, I would not have had a chance in court, especially given the defendant's very aggressive strategy. Given that no attorney would help me, and the profession defends itself, as Judge Posner said, as a cartel, I thank my lucky stars the technology existed. I cannot wait to see the legal profession decimated, and it should welcome AI, which can do a better job and provide better professional judgement than a human attorney ever can. I will say however, users must manage the AI model to keep it on track, to stress test assumptions, and smart custom instructions is essential.

What’s your project by the way. Would be curious to know more, if you’re up for sharing now. Later is fine too.

Outstanding, and ethical too. So tell us, did you forgo monetization forever, or do you have a plan for revenue? Perhaps it’s not an issue for you, but knowing what you have up might help others conceive of a shift of the Overton window such that it’s no longer a given that that must be harvested.

If the credit bureaus don't have a complete profile when you start, they will after provide the missing pieces.

Exactly.

I don't understand how a community such as this, as connected as it is, can't back channel a message to Google brass to do something about these lockouts, which occur frequently and are unnecessary. There is no way Google doesn't know about them.

Gmail is an essential piece of pervasive personal infrastructure, upon which hundreds of millions of people rely. People are losing irreplaceable data for lack of care on the part of Google. The cost of providing a way to prove identity while maintaining security ought to be part of the cost of doing business for Google as it provides Gmail.

Surely there are some Google employees lurking who can chime in on this frustrating neglect.

Why not just use RSS?

Thanks, you got it right. 1970 is the birth year and father lived in the United States for decades prior but had a child while out of the country, the naturalized citizen. The question is really about whether natural born citizenship is available to children of an American citizen when the child is born abroad, but the parent was deceased before majority age. Naturalization would probably be sufficient, but given that even naturalization is theoretically at risk, maybe obtaining outright natural born status is better insurance. There is an N-form for this sort of thing.

This question arises from the current regime's efforts to reverse naturalization.

For anyone who has one US citizen parent and one non-citizen parent, where the citizen parent has passed before the child applicant for naturalization reaches 18 years of age, resulting in the applicant applying for and receiving naturalization as an adult, can that same currently naturalized citizen also obtain natural born citizenship status through the deceased citizen parent and would it be advisable?

It is remarkable to me how officials are able to commit these harms without suffering any repercussions. Of course, immunity provides cover for so-called official acts, however, when harm is so blatant, it’s rather astounding there are no carve outs in the law so that officials can be prosecuted. I’m not an attorney so I can’t suggest a strategy for holding them accountable, but this is a great time for an activist/crusader lawyer to go after wrongdoers and set a precedent.
