Some people think that Learned Hand had the perfect name for a judge. But "Learned" was the judge's middle name, not his first name. Hand's real first name was better suited for a lawyer: Billings.

My new book, Co-Existence, is out today. It is a guide to how to live & work in a world where AI is sometimes, but not always, better than you. (And, for the release, I worked with Opus 5.5 to make a quite interesting experience for the book's website: co-existence.ai/)

Protecting kids online shouldn’t come at the expense of constitutional rights. Algorithms help platforms filter harmful content, promote age-appropriate material, and manage the scale of online information. Preserving the freedom to curate content is essential to both online safety and free expression. buff.ly/4PXR6Bn #FirstAmendment #FreeExpression #FreeSpeech

In the 1950s, portrait photographer Philippe Halsman would ask his subjects to jump in the air so they would loosen up for subsequent shots. Among Halsman's subjects was Judge Learned Hand, then in his 80s. The request resulted in the photo below. smithsonianmag.com/arts-cult…
