AI Abuse Tossed, Epstein Account Fake, RFK Jr. Picks Questioned

A New York federal judge took the rare step of terminating a case this week due to a lawyer's repeated misuse of AI when drafting filings, setting a new standard for abuse of the technology in legal proceedings. In other news, Epic Games confirmed that an account believed to be linked to Jeffrey Epstein on Fortnite was a ruse, while Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appointed individuals who believe vaccines cause autism to a key autism panel. Additionally, Waymo is leveraging Google DeepMind's Genie 3 to create a world model for self-driving cars, and the Trump phone continues to be a topic of discussion.

District Judge Katherine Polk Failla ruled that extraordinary sanctions were warranted after attorney Steven Feldman repeatedly responded to requests to correct his filings with documents containing fake citations, according to Ars Technica. One of Feldman's filings was also noted for its "conspicuously florid prose." The judge's decision highlights the growing concerns surrounding the use of AI in legal contexts and the potential for misinformation and inaccuracies.

Epic Games clarified that the "littlestjeff1" Fortnite account, which was linked to Jeffrey Epstein after the alias was found in the Epstein files, was a result of a player changing their username, as reported by The Verge. The developer's statement on X aimed to dispel any misconceptions about the account's association with Epstein.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced a new lineup for the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC), a group that recommends autism research funding and provides guidance on community services. The new panel includes friends, associates, and former colleagues who believe that autism is caused by vaccines, according to Wired. Autism advocates are concerned that this composition could lead to the mainstreaming of dangerous pseudoscientific treatments. The group is typically composed of experts in the area of autism research, along with policy experts and autistic people advocating for their own community.

Waymo is utilizing Google DeepMind's Genie 3 to create a world model for self-driving cars, as stated by Ars Technica. The model can create hyper-realistic simulated environments to train the AI on situations rarely encountered in real life, such as snow on the Golden Gate Bridge. Waymo has driven over 200 million miles, and the new model will allow the company to expand its autonomous driving capabilities.

The Trump phone, the T1 Phone, is still in development, according to The Verge. The final design is expected to lose the T1 logo. The outlet spoke to two Trump Mobile executives for an exclusive first look at the phone.
