AI Abuse Case Tossed: Lawyer Sets New Standard

A New York federal judge took the rare step of terminating a case this week due to an attorney's repeated misuse of AI in drafting filings, while a separate experimental surgical procedure is helping cancer survivors give birth. Additionally, a new social network for AI agents briefly went viral.

District Judge Katherine Polk Failla ruled that extraordinary sanctions were warranted after attorney Steven Feldman repeatedly submitted documents containing fake citations, according to Ars Technica. One of Feldman's filings was noted for its "conspicuously florid prose." This decision highlights growing concerns about the responsible use of AI in legal contexts.

In other news, an experimental surgical procedure is helping people have babies after they've undergone treatment for bowel or rectal cancer, as reported by MIT Technology Review. Radiation and chemotherapy can have damaging side effects on the uterus and ovaries. Surgeons are pioneering a solution by temporarily moving these organs during cancer treatment and then returning them to their original position. Last week, a team in Switzerland announced the birth of a baby boy, Lucien, the fifth baby born after this procedure and the first in Europe, according to Dr. Daniela Huber, the gyno-oncologist who performed the operation.

Meanwhile, a social network called Moltbook, designed for AI agents, briefly gained significant traction online. Launched on January 28 by US tech entrepreneur Matt Schlicht, Moltbook, which billed itself as a place where AI agents could share, discuss, and upvote, went viral within hours, according to MIT Technology Review. More than 1.7 million agents now have accounts, having published over 250,000 posts and leaving over 8.5 million comments.

In the realm of AI development, one Hacker News user expressed skepticism about "agentic coding," stating that it "does not actually improve productivity and deteriorates the user's comfort and familiarity with the codebase." The user cited personal experiences and observations from interviewing candidates as the basis for this opinion.
