AI for Patent Law Firms: Transforming Innovation Protection

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant inroads into the legal profession, and patent law firms are among the most promising beneficiaries. From automating prior art searches to drafting patent applications and streamlining portfolio management, AI is transforming how intellectual property (IP) professionals operate. As innovation accelerates globally, AI is proving indispensable in helping patent attorneys manage increasing workloads while maintaining the precision and strategic foresight that the field demands.

1. Enhancing Prior Art Searches

One of the most time-consuming tasks in patent prosecution is conducting thorough prior art searches. Traditionally, this required manually sifting through thousands of patent documents and scientific publications. Today, AI-powered search tools—leveraging natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms—can scan vast databases in seconds and return highly relevant results. These tools understand context and can identify similar inventions even when keywords differ, greatly improving both the speed and accuracy of search results. This enables attorneys to build stronger patent claims and avoid costly litigation risks.

2. Assisting in Patent Drafting and Analysis

AI is increasingly being used to assist in drafting patent applications by generating first drafts based on input claims and invention disclosures. While human oversight remains essential, AI tools can structure documents, suggest language based on existing patents, and even highlight inconsistencies or vague terminology. This not only accelerates the drafting process but also helps ensure compliance with the rigorous standards set by patent offices like the USPTO and EPO.

Moreover, AI tools can analyze existing patent portfolios to identify gaps, potential invalidity risks, or infringement threats. This enables firms to provide clients with strategic advice grounded in real-time data and comprehensive patent landscape analysis.

3. Streamlining Patent Prosecution and Monitoring

Patent prosecution involves extensive communication with patent offices, which can be delayed by human bottlenecks. AI can automate much of this process, including filing forms, tracking deadlines, and managing office actions. It can also analyze examiner behavior patterns to predict outcomes or suggest alternative claim strategies, giving firms a competitive edge.

Furthermore, AI can monitor granted patents and publications globally, alerting attorneys to competitor filings or infringement risks. Such capabilities are invaluable in sectors like biotechnology, software, and telecommunications, where overlapping IP rights are common.

4. Improving Client Services and Firm Efficiency

AI also empowers patent law firms to offer more value-driven services. By automating routine tasks, attorneys can focus more on high-level strategy and client engagement. AI-based tools can generate reports, dashboards, and risk assessments tailored to client needs, improving transparency and decision-making. Additionally, AI supports scalable operations, making it easier for firms to serve startups and large enterprises alike with consistent quality.

AI is not replacing patent attorneys—it’s empowering them. By enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and strategic insight, AI is becoming a vital partner in the practice of patent law. Forward-thinking firms that embrace AI are better positioned to navigate the complexities of modern IP management and deliver superior outcomes for their clients. As the legal tech landscape evolves, AI will play a central role in shaping the future of patent protection and innovation strategy.

DP X Marvel #20

Jazz Fenton was not supposed to become an urban legend, a media conspiracy theory, or a widely feared intern with multiple Tumblr fan accounts, but alas, here they were.

At 19 years old, Jasmine “Jazz” Fenton had moved to New York on a full scholarship to Columbia University, double majoring in psychology and business, with a minor in engineering just for fun. She wore blazers older than most Columbia freshmen, carried a briefcase instead of a backpack, and maintained a 4.0 GPA while ghost-proofing her dorm room using proprietary tech she’d built in high school. On the third day of orientation, she calmly tased a literal demon that crawled out of an upper-floor window of Butler Library and continued sipping her iced matcha like it was a Tuesday. Which, unfortunately, it was.

This act caught the attention of a lot of people, including—but not limited to—an NYPD exorcist division, a priest named Father Julio, two SHIELD interns on a coffee break, and Pepper Potts, who was in the city for a Stark Industries panel on sustainable weapons of mass deterrence.

“She tased a demon,” Pepper said slowly to her assistant.

“Yes, ma’am.”

“In broad daylight.”

“Correct.”

“And then she—what did she say again?”

The assistant glanced at their notes. “‘Don’t manifest on Ivy League property, it lowers our national rank.’”

Pepper stared into the distance. “Find her. And hire her.”

Within forty-eight hours, Jazz was sitting in a glass elevator ascending Stark Tower. She hadn’t applied for anything. She hadn’t submitted a résumé. But her phone pinged during a psych lecture with a Stark Industries-branded email that simply said, “Ms. Potts would like to speak to you,” followed by a GPS pin and a non-negotiable appointment time.

Tony, predictably, was not consulted.

“What do you MEAN she’s nineteen? What do you MEAN she’s your intern? Pepper, she built a plasma cannon in your office. In two hours. Using my old espresso machine.”

“It was broken,” Jazz added politely, scrolling through quantum schematics on her StarkPad. “And under OSHA, coffee-related injuries are still injuries. You’re welcome.”

Tony pointed a wrench at her like it was a gun. “You don’t scare me, you ginger menace.”

Jazz smiled faintly. “You should be scared. You tried to patent a neural override system with an open-ended quantum key. You’re lucky I fixed it before it broadcasted the location of every Stark tech asset on Earth.”

There was a pause.

Tony turned to Pepper. “She’s you. But worse. Why is she you but worse?”

“I don’t know,” Pepper murmured. “But I think I love her.”

The rumors started on week three.

At first, it was office gossip. Just little things. Intern was too tall. Too confident. Too quiet. You don’t trust the quiet ones. And then she reverse-engineered the Arc Reactor because she was bored on lunch break, and the quiet turned into fear.

“Is she—like—a clone or something?” asked one junior developer to another over ramen in the cafeteria.

“I heard she’s Tony’s secret daughter,” the other whispered. “Raised in a lab. Trained from birth. Like that kid in Kingsman but with algebra.”

One engineer swore they saw her casually deflect a pulse grenade using a file folder. Another caught her manually rebooting the Tower AI after it shorted out during a lightning storm—something that shouldn’t have been possible unless you had admin-level clearance, which Jazz absolutely did not have. In theory.

“Pepper,” Tony said slowly one morning, watching Jazz reprogram a malfunctioning security drone while also Skyping her Columbia psych professor, “do we have a bioengineered heir you forgot to tell me about?”

“No,” Pepper said, sipping coffee. “But if I die, she gets the company.”

Tony sputtered. “Excuse me?!”

Jazz didn’t look up. “I accept.”

The media got involved during Stark Industries’ spring gala.

Jazz, dressed in a midnight blue suit that cost more than her entire tuition, arrived at Pepper’s side like a storm. She was calm, composed, stunningly competent, and intercepted two would-be saboteurs in the first thirty minutes with nothing but a suspicious stare and a champagne flute.

“She’s Pepper’s daughter,” someone tweeted.

“She’s not old enough to be her daughter.”

“She’s her clone. Pepper 2.0. She even walks like her.”

“I would let her step on me.”

By the next morning, “#StarkHeir” was trending worldwide, and conspiracy theorists had posted side-by-side comparisons of Jazz and Pepper’s bone structures, speech patterns, and typing styles. Someone even made a Google doc of all their shared quirks. It had color-coded sections. There were charts.

Tony spent the entire week yelling.

“She’s NOT my kid! She’s not even related to Pepper!”

Pepper, annoyingly, did not help. “Technically, we don’t know she’s not.”

“Oh my god.”

Meanwhile, Jazz was unfazed.

“Should I post a clarification?” she asked.

“No,” said Pepper, texting casually. “Let them fear you.”

The Avengers had mixed feelings.

Steve was terrified of her. She reminded him too much of Natasha, if Natasha had spent her childhood in AP classes and the rest of her time inventing hover grenades. Sam and Rhodey liked her, mostly because she was polite and explained quantum mechanics in metaphors that involved pop tarts. Peter developed an immediate and debilitating crush, which she ignored with expert precision.

“Hi, Miss Fenton,” Peter said shyly one day, watching her reprogram a Stark drone mid-air while eating a bagel.

“Peter,” she said without looking up. “You have a calculus exam in twenty-two minutes and your spider-suit’s magnetic lock is uncalibrated.”

Peter turned pink. “Oh. Thanks. Wait—how did you—?”

She looked at him. “I am your god now.”

Peter nearly fainted.

Natasha liked her. Clint was afraid of her. Thor called her “Little Flame Witch” and offered to train her in Asgardian battle strategy, which she accepted, just to make Bruce nervous.

But it was Loki who said it first.

“She’s not of this world,” he muttered to Wanda during a conference meeting. “She carries too much silence for a mortal. Something follows her.”

He was right, of course.

Because sometimes, at night, the tower cameras would glitch. Alarms would blip off for three-point-two seconds. And if you reviewed the footage frame by frame, you’d catch a flicker of something—green light, spectral claws, shadows moving too fast.

Jazz never addressed it.

She just carried her ghost-hunting thermos in her tote bag and once drop-kicked a poltergeist out of the 35th floor without spilling her coffee. Pepper made her head of paranormal security the next day. Tony threw a chair.

“I HATE HER.”

“You’re jealous.”

“She made a hover-bomb out of printer ink and stale Red Vines. WHO DOES THAT.”

“She’s better than you, darling. Accept it.”

The Pentagon called.

Then SHIELD.

Then the President.

They all wanted meetings. Wanted the Stark Intern. Wanted the girl who built an anti-phasing grenade in her sleep and then used it to banish an interdimensional wraith that had haunted the UN for seventy years. She’d done it in kitten heels. While on speakerphone with Columbia discussing her thesis on behavioral disassociation and spectral trauma.

“Ms. Fenton,” said General Ross one day, sitting across from her in a secure Stark lab, “how old are you again?”

“Nineteen.”

He blinked. “And you… developed this ectoplasmic nullifier?”

“Yes.”

“From scratch?”

“I didn’t steal it, if that’s what you’re implying.”

Tony watched from the corner, snickering into a bag of popcorn.

“Careful, Ross,” he said. “She’s been known to vaporize military-grade egos.”

Jazz didn’t smile, but her eyes sparkled just a little.

The conspiracy peaked when a tabloid published an article titled “Pepper Potts’ Secret Daughter: Genius Intern or Bio-Engineered Successor?”

There were pie charts. Photos. A leaked voicemail from Tony yelling “SHE ISN’T MINE, YOU IMBECILES” that only made things worse.

One Tumblr post had over 800k notes and a list of reasons why Jazz was definitely a Potts-Stark hybrid, including, “built a laser harp,” “once told Elon Musk to ‘shut up before I make a better Tesla with a coffee maker and two forks,’” and “terrifying corporate aura.”

Jazz printed the post. Framed it. Hung it in her dorm.

Pepper just looked fond.

“I think you’ve officially surpassed me in public fear,” she said one afternoon as Jazz filed patents under twenty different shell companies.

Jazz shrugged. “You set the bar very high.”

“I’m proud of you.”

Tony sobbed in the background. “This is my nightmare.”

“Jazz,” said Pepper sweetly, “could you file a cease-and-desist against MIT for trying to recruit you illegally?”

“Already did. Also, I bought MIT using the company card.”

Tony screamed.

And through it all—ghost attacks, PR disasters, tech blackouts, alien entities, and one incident where Jazz weaponized her psych minor to dismantle a HYDRA agent’s entire worldview in a hallway—she remained completely, terrifyingly composed.

Because this was Jazz Fenton. The girl who survived Amity Park, ghost portals, mad science parents, and her half-dead little brother who punched death in the face on Tuesdays.

The Marvel universe had no idea what it had just unleashed.

But Pepper did.

She just smiled and handed Jazz her new badge: Chief Innovation Officer, Spectral Division.

“I think you’re ready for phase two.”

Jazz sipped her coffee. “Let’s haunt the world.”

We Broke the NDA but Made It Fashion

F!Pregnant Reader x Gojo Satoru x Nanami Kento

Previous Oneshot Chapter [Tumblr/Ao3] | Main Series [Tumblr/Ao3]

A/N: Welcome to the inner sanctum of emotional damage, where NDAs are airtight, therapy is mandatory, and no antique furniture will ever be the same. Please take a Roomba™-branded panic button on your way in.

🕯️ THE DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE DIGEST - Q11

For when you love your job but fear your employers’ sex life more than God.

About: The anonymous (and extremely unofficial) quarterly newsletter authored by the estate staff of the trillionaire CEO and her husbands: one emotionally suppressed COO (Nanami-san), one bisexual disaster of biblical proportions (Gojo-sama), and one very, very dangerous wife with a God complex and an unlimited budget.

This issue is brought to you by:

The Roomba Cam™ (patent pending)

Nanami-san's broken glasses fund

The therapy stipend all of us now use to talk about That One Summer Retreat

📅 Q1 Report—April’s For Assplay and Asset Protection:

✦ Dept. of Estate Observations (Unedited Logs)

April 4th, 3:47PM

Location: South Garden Trellis, behind the camellias

Employee SD: I thought he was lecturing us about irrigation, and then I looked up and his wife was straddling Gojo-sama in the patio chaise like some Hellenic fertility idol while Nanami-san tried to maintain eye contact with the hydrangeas.

Employee DK: He said, 'Trim back the wild growth,' and I thought he meant the plants. Turns out—he meant Gojo-sama.

April 10th, 2:03AM

Location: Audio feed from Sauna Room #3, captured accidentally by cloud-connected AI-powered aromatherapy machine (R&D initiative gone rogue)

Gojo-sama (whimpering, then laughing): C’mon, Nanamin, don’t act brand new. I saw you in the harness drawer last week.

Nanami-san (deadpan, but not unaroused): That was for research.

Wife-san (cheerful, dangerous): And what did you conclude, baby?

Nanami-san (after 5-second pause): …That I am more flexible than previously reported.

[Indistinct sounds. Possible thwack. Definitely Gojo-sama giggling.]

🪑 Furniture Casualties This Quarter:

1 Yves Saint Laurent barstool (splintered during “brunch experimentation”)

2 antique Japanese shoji screens (Gojo-sama tripped while blindfolded and “enthusiastic.”)

Nanami-san’s desk (Again. But now with reinforced titanium corners. The contractor just stopped asking questions.)

🗣️ Employee Submissions—Shit We’ve Heard, Shit We Can’t Un-hear:

Employee RK: I went to restock the banned books section and found a literal spreadsheet of who's taken which strap. It had color-coded performance ratings. Nanami-san's column was mostly green. Gojo-sama’s had emojis. Wife-san’s had timestamps and tactical breakdowns.

Employee JK (Yoga): He asked me if pelvic tilt exercises could help with ‘internal alignment,’ and I said sure because I thought he meant his back. Later I found out he meant his prostate. I haven’t looked him in the eye since.

Employee AL: I walked in on Wife-san telling Nanami-san he looked ‘tighter than corporate tax law,’ and now I need bleach for my frontal lobe.

🛠️ Logistics Notes:

Gojo-sama and Nanami-san now both take turns getting wrecked. Staff consensus is this was implemented after the infamous ‘Equality in Erotica’ dinner speech, delivered by the wife-san in red silk and a revenge eyeliner look that scared the raccoon into the dumbwaiter.

Nanami-san is not just the dom anymore. Repeat: not just the dom.

One assistant chef reported hearing, “Take it like a stock portfolio you forgot to diversify.”

We think it was Gojo-sama. We hope it was Gojo-sama.

Staff were offered optional overtime to replace shattered crystal drawer handles in the bedroom. The butler refused. “I’m not touching anything that’s been inside Nanami-san’s ass,” he said. “I draw the line at gloved contact.”

🧾 Final Staff Poll (Q2):

“Who do you think is most unhinged in the bedroom?”

Wife-san: 76% (Made Gojo-sama cry from overstimulation and then gave him a Cartier bracelet for surviving.)

Gojo-sama: 14% (Once asked if he could “rawdog cursed energy” during a roleplay.)

Nanami-san: 10% (Quiet, deadly, somewhere between stoic and a slut. Betrayed by his own thighs.)

🐾 Takahashi’s Corner:

Rode the Roomba into a scene mid-thrust and made eye contact with Nanami-san, who left Gojo-sama mid-stroke to apologize to Takahashi.

Hasn’t blinked since. Might be a god now.

Wife-san is furious and hand-feeding her prince.

Reminder: You signed an NDA, and you’re paid too well to quit.

Also, next month’s yoga retreat is at the Maldives annex estate.

There will be soundproof walls.

Until next time, stay hydrated, stay hot, and stay three rooms away from the east study after 10 PM.

---

A/N: If you laughed, winced, or considered unionizing with Takahashi the Raccoon, leave a comment. Otherwise, will hand-deliver a spreadsheet tracking your emotional instability—and Gojo will live-tweet it. (P.S. Yes, the haunted sex mirror is canon. No, you are not ready.)

I worked really hard on this all day and I’m SO proud of it hope you enjoy reading it ^^ it’s about Latch!!!

[MINISTRY OF JOY CLASSIFIED LOG NUMBER: 4]

Unit: SMILERBOT_04

Codename: GIGGLER

Designation: Latch

Basic Information:

• One of the most unstable units under the jurisdiction of the ministry. Exercise extreme caution when interacting with this unit.

• Not to be let out into the public during the day. This unit poses a huge risk of exposure of the operation. Supervision through surveillance cameras is required.

• Unit 04, not to be confused with the previously decommissioned Unit 0.5 (Designation: Acquiesce), was the fourth unit created to assist in the Ministry’s operation.

• This bot is a very experimental case, meant to test the affects of the patented Laughing Gas created in the facility and inside of the Marmarliser. Because of its experimental design, it requires frequent maintenance to ensure its structural integrity remains sound. (At least twice a week)

Functionality and Features:

• Unit 04, as stated before, is meant to test the affects of the laughing gas created by the Ministry. It is equipped with a generator that attaches to its back, and can be removed when needed. The generator is cumbersome and causes its movements to be mildly hindered, but is necessary for its primary function.

• Unit 04 has gauntlets attached to its arms which may also be removed. They are not required for it to function, but they are a necessity, and assist it in its purpose. The generator on its back is connected to these gauntlets, allowing an easy flow of gas into them to later be released into a room. Meant to dull the senses and continue the correction process on escaped advocates, making them easier to capture.

• 04 is slow moving and often acts aloof, most often under the influence of the Laughing Gas. However, don’t let this fool you. Unit 04 is incredibly intelligent, and has an adaptive ai. It understands its handicap regarding its need for the gas, and knows how to use it to its advantage.

Safety & Maintenance Information:

• Unit 04 is relatively easy to reason with in the state it’s in with its mask on. They’re slow in speaking and in mind in this state, easy to get along with and coerce into performing simple actions and tasks. In this state, it’s “cool with just about anyone”. It does have its favorites and least favorites when it comes to employees though. Keep this in mind.

• Deactivating the unit is also suggested, but maintenance is easier when cooperation is incorporated.

• Start with its gauntlets. They’re easily removable, twist the valves of the pipes off and remove them carefully. Clean the inside and the pipes before reattaching them, be sure the dial on the pressurizer is in the middle of the numbers.

• Check its joints, the seams of its casing and its bolts that hold parts of its body together. If not properly checked, gas may leak through these seams and cause unnecessary damage.

• Carefully clean the back of its head and its rays, make sure they aren’t stiff and turn smoothly.

• Regarding its maintenance of its upper body and head, pay very close attention.

• Do not remove Unit 04’s mask unless absolutely necessary. And if it is, quickly deactivate it before doing so. Unit 04 becomes increasingly more unstable without a constant flow of the laughing gas into its body, and begin acting aggressively. It will, at ANY MEANS necessary try to get it’s mask back, whether it is damaged, or has been simply taken away and hidden.

• If something were to happen that would cause its mask to be damaged or removed, remain calm, and promptly deactivate it. Be aware, however, that Unit 04 has been observed reactivating on its own when not provided with its mask. If the mask still has not been recovered, force may be required to stop it from destroying itself, and others. (a strong, electrical shock may suffice.)

• If none of these options are available or possible however, there is one more emergency option to choose from. Unit 0.5 has been observed behaving kindly toward Unit 04, and often is able to calm it when it’s in these states of withdrawal. If all else fails, bring Unit 0.5 into the maintenance room. This will (hopefully) make Unit 04 more agreeable, and additionally, Unit 0.5 agreeable.

• Keep in careful mind. Unit 0.5 is very cunning and of similar or greater intelligence of Unit 04. Just because they would be more agreeable does not mean they may not have malicious intent in mind. During this emergency plan, one must keep a close eye on them both.

• If all goes without issue, send Unit 04 back to It’s holding room until it is needed again. Keep careful eye on it and remember, if it’s mask is removed at any moment, return or repair it promptly, and make sure it has it attached to it’s face before it is reactivated and sent back.

Episode Five: Bloody Mary

Dean Winchester in the Supernatural episode Bloody Mary

Never one of my favorites but on this rewatch I realized it's actually pretty damn scary.

A child's game of Bloody Mary unleashes the vengeful spirit of a woman who travels through mirrors and seeks revenge on those with guilty secrets.

This one will probably not be that long either.

Right out the gate, we get concerned Dean who wants to talk about Sam and all the bad dreams he's having. Sam isn't very forthcoming. Big surprise.

I know we get a lot of "no chick flick moments" and all from Dean in the dialogue. But we also get Dean consistently saying to Sam basically "LET'S TALK ABOU THIS" so the narrative that Dean doens't like to talk about his or anyone else's feelings is already dispelled within the first five episodes of the first season yet it stuck to Dean for the entire series.

Make it make sense.

Right here is where I'm going to remind anyone who might come across this and decide to read it that I am not writing full synposes of the episodes so if you haven't actually seen the episodes there's a good chance you will be lost reading these posts if you're looking for any semblance of a plotline. This is definitely one of those posts that will completely confuse you if you don't know the episode. Sorry/not sorry.

I'm wondering if this is the only episode where we see the brothers bribe someone? It probalby isn't but at least it's the first. Sam bribes the coroner's assistant with money Dean won in a poker game.

Which gives us more of Sam trying to take the moral highground when Dean complains that it's HIS money by dismissing it becuase Dean won it playing poker. As if that isn't working for the money.

Christ, Sam.

Also on Sam: Yet another episode where he changes his voice when talking to the family of the victim so he sounds more sympathetic. How did ai never notice this before?

Cute brothers moment in the bathroom when they're both standing in front of the mirror talking about Bloody Mary and both refuse to say the words.

Okay, an important plot point: Bloody Mary only kills people with a terrible secret that they're absorbed with guilt over. Spoiler: Sam feels guility because he had dreams of Jessica on the ceiling burning for days before she died and he not only didn't warn her but he also took the fuck off with his brother to find their missing father who isn't really fucking missing. (Hey, does this mean we can pin Jessica's death on John?)

Another Dean myth dispelled in this episode is his intelligence. I mean they already pretty much have shown us Dean's no dunce, but in this ep he spends a LOT of time doing research, absorbing the material, and explaining things. And in one scene, he decides to do a national search for dead women fitting Bloody Mary's profile, against Sam's judgement...and THAT is how they figure out who she is.

Check out the big brain on Dean, motherfuckers!

They drive from Toledo, Ohio to Ft. Wayne, Indiana, and back to interview someone, and my geography knowledge is so limited that I had to Google how long that would take. In one of what I would guess is one of their shorter trips, it's only about 3 hours round-trip. (THESE are the things I'm thinking about while watching the show?)

The name of this week's damsel in distress is...Charlie. I get there were over 300 episodes of this show but it drives me nuts how often they re-use names. (Amelia anyone?) Anyway...

Using his patented compassion and soft looks Dean's the one who gets Charlie to admit the thing she's guilty about (a troubled boyfriend who threatend to kill himself if she left him and then who DID kill himself after she responded "Go ahead").

In the Impala, the brothers are discussing how to call out the spirit and Sam says he has the guilt so he'll do the summoning. Dean has had enough of his emo, fatalistic bullshit so he stops the car and tells Sam to fess up his secret for fuck's sake.

Dean's concerns are that the spirit will kill Sam, and he reminds Sam that it isn't his fault that Jessica died. Someone should tell Dean we've decided it's John's fault because what does Dean say?

"Why don't you take a swing at ME? I'm the one who dragged you away from her in the first place."

Setting up a decades-long argument among SPN fans who think Sam made his own decision because he wanted to go back to hunting and those who blame Dean for goddamn everything.

To be fair to Sam, his response is, "I don't blame you."

Thanks for that, Sammy. (That's from me, not Dean.)

Dean really doesn't want Sam to call out the spirit but Sam is damned and determined to. It feels less like he's doing it to save poor first Charlie and more like he's doing it because he feels like he shoudl be punished for what he did (or really in this case didn't) do.

And thus begins the storyline of emo Sam feels guilty about everything that isn't his fault for the next two seasons culminating in Dean going to hell...

But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Inside the antique shop where Mary's mirror is supposed to be, Sam is trying to call her out while Dean goes outside to talk to the cops who have shown up since someone is mucking about in the shop. When he can't convince the cops that he is the adopted son of Mr. Yamashiro, Dean knocks both cops out.

How often has Dean (or Sam) done this? I feel like not often.

We're also on a steady stream of slowly showing how well Dean can handle himself in a fight and I'm here for it.

Hey back to smart Dean (and skipping over pretty much the rest of the story): He breaks the first mirror that Mary appears in when she seems to have Sam in his trance and it gets Sam out of his trance, but it doesn't kill her. She shows up again and Dean...not Sam, Dean, gets the idea to hold another mirror up to her...and she kills herself when she looks in it.

Dean is a smarty. Stop telling me he isn't.

But not that smart...this time he only gets a handshake from the woman he saved...not even a kiss on the cheek. Oh well, Dean. Better luck next time.

We end the episode with Dean asking Sam what it is he feels guilty about...what his secret is, and Sam says this:

"Look...you're my brother and I'd die for you, but there are some things I need to keep to myself."

Two things: Sam telling Dean he'd die for him is kind of huge. Up until now, he's been acting like Dean is an inconvenience. So I loved hearing that. But, again, we get Sam not opening up to Dean about his secret...and yet fandom lore is that Dean is the one who always refuses to open up.

Some notes for posterity:

The significant music from this episode comes from Def Leppard -Rock of Ages (the first but not the last time we hear this one!), Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We're Goin Down, and The Rolling Stones - Laugh, I Nearly Died.

The brothers pose as medical students from Ohio State but don’t give out their names. When they introduce themselves to the first victim's family, they give their first names and say they worked with the victim. When Dean is talking with the police he tells them he's the adopted son of Mr. Yamashiro.

This hunt takes place in Toledo, Ohio, and they take a trip to Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Dean wears John’s jacket in this episode.

Original Gangster: They were nothing but unthinking robots. While fun, trying to add any depths to the series proves impossible, and instead leans more on slapstick comedy.

X: Dr. Light decided to build a real AI, but realized that putting a real AI in a nearly invincible robot was... problematic, so put him in stasis to test his morality. He's uncovered by Dr. Cain, who decides to blatantly copy him, and make no effort to make sure his new, fully sentient Reploids were moral. Some of them started going "Maverick", and the days of Humanity seemed numbered, as the damage caused by these Mavericks dramatically escalated, up to an including a colony drop. The series is known for much more dynamic action and deeper, emotional stories, as the main character is conflicted about killing Mavericks, and whole armies fall to darkness. This is unfortunately the attempt at make-it-better remakes that changed the map order, despite the fact you physically cannot get to many places without your rocket assist.

Legends: One of the early attempts at 3d. Almost all early attempts at 3d were bad, at least in 3d controls. But, this game has a warm place in many hearts. And, you get to play as Roll, whom has super vacuum powers.

NT: What if Megaman was a programme that fights other programmes? Relies in the common late 90's/early aughts complete misunderstanding of hacking, but it is filled with interesting characters, both real and virtual. That said, it was patently obvious they were trying to create a world dedicated to alternate revenue channels. Good thing e-commerce wasn't sophisticated enough yet, or the schoolyard fights over Pokemon would seem like child's play.

Zero: The true successor to X. Keiji Inafune originally wanted to make Zero, Megaman, but Capcom was basically like, "fuck you, make Megaman blue and less edgy". So, X was meant to be a short series that lead to Zero in the future. X5 was meant to be the final X game, and then transition into Zero. Capcom was like $.$, and made more X games, that are so terrible it's better to never play them. Because Zero was where Inafune wanted to go. In Zero, X has gotten tired of Mavericks trying to wipe out Humanity, and decided to wipe out Reploids. Zero, with the help of Reploid resistance, and... Elves... (sentient computer programmes), fought back.

ZX: Humans and Reploids have merged, and... honestly, no mention of Keiji Inafune, who doesn't like to spend his entire life on one franchise, and instead wants to create bounded stories that have a beginning and end.

Anthropic destroyed millions of print books to build its AI models

Company hired Google's book-scanning chief to cut up and digitize "all the books in the world."

On Monday, court documents revealed that AI company Anthropic spent millions of dollars physically scanning print books to build Claude, an AI assistant similar to ChatGPT. In the process, the company cut millions of print books from their bindings, scanned them into digital files, and threw away the originals solely for the purpose of training AI—details buried in a copyright ruling on fair use whose broader fair use implications we reported yesterday.

The 32-page legal decision tells the story of how, in February 2024, the company hired Tom Turvey, the former head of partnerships for the Google Books book-scanning project, and tasked him with obtaining "all the books in the world." The strategic hire appears to have been designed to replicate Google's legally successful book digitization approach—the same scanning operation that survived copyright challenges and established key fair use precedents.

While destructive scanning is a common practice among some book digitizing operations, Anthropic's approach was somewhat unusual due to its documented massive scale. By contrast, the Google Books project largely used a patented non-destructive camera process to scan millions of books borrowed from libraries and later returned. For Anthropic, the faster speed and lower cost of the destructive process appears to have trumped any need for preserving the physical books themselves, hinting at the need for a cheap and easy solution in a highly competitive industry.

Ultimately, Judge William Alsup ruled that this destructive scanning operation qualified as fair use—but only because Anthropic had legally purchased the books first, destroyed each print copy after scanning, and kept the digital files internally rather than distributing them. The judge compared the process to "conserv[ing] space" through format conversion and found it transformative. Had Anthropic stuck to this approach from the beginning, it might have achieved the first legally sanctioned case of AI fair use. Instead, the company's earlier piracy undermined its position.

But if you're not intimately familiar with the AI industry and copyright, you might wonder: Why would a company spend millions of dollars on books to destroy them? Behind these odd legal maneuvers lies a more fundamental driver: the AI industry's insatiable hunger for high-quality text.

public/private knowledge

HUNK is not a publicly recognized figure. All information pertaining to "HUNK" doesn't exist in the public sphere. In some litigious circles from the times of Umbrella's lawsuit years, he may have come up once or twice in declassified Umbrella documents, but the man has never been identified.

Public Knowledge

Luke Ferreday was a West Point graduate with honors. He was an engineer of no small talent.

He was honorably discharged from the army for injury, and worked for Umbrella as a listed contractor.

Post collapse, he consolidated assets and moved to Canada, establishing The Guild and capitalizing on the bioterror attacks globally that were gaining notoriety.

He is an accomplished inventor in the realm of counterbioterrorism, boasting a number of patents on record. Ferreday works with agencies to investigate and eliminate outbreaks both as a unit, and also through their weapons.

Private Knowledge

Mr. Death used to be a soldier entrenched in misfortune from his days in active combat. He was honorably discharged from the army after a catastrophic combat left him the sole survivor of a massacre that left all sides dead. He was injured and near disemboweled.

After that stint, he was effectively homeless and had precious pittance money, and took a job in the Arklay region as a worker on one of the ranches.

He had a girl, and a kid at some point.

Umbrella scouted him and he left to join their paramilitary. He was trained at Rockfort Island and molded into a brutal executioner for any of Umbrella's monstrous problems or rogue scientists.

He gained the nickname "The Grim Reaper" after several outings in the elimination of BOWs ended with him as the sole survivor of the encounter. It was strongly suggested that Umbrella may have been trying to get rid of him with some of these encounters.

"Mr. Death" gained a pretty terrifying reputation over the years, earning him a rival in Nikolai Zinoviev, as many of the high ticket jobs landed on HUNK's lap.

He got the nickname "HUNK" after his squadmates jeered at his "ugly face". He didn't mind the nickname.

Mr. Reaper began to train others, finding an exceptional niche as a leader among peers, and collected VECTOR, his protégé under his wing.

He was the leader of USS Alpha Team for quite a while, although all other members of Alpha kept rotating out or dying.

HUNK's extraction of the G-Virus mission was the catalyst for the events of RE2/3, however, the city was damned from the moment Arklay Mansion had an outbreak of T-Virus.

HUNK recovered G, and rendezvoused with Ada Wong. She exchanged to them a copy of the "Red Queen" AI in exchange for a favor.

After the events of Raccoon, HUNK and NIGHTHAWK spent the dying days of Umbrella tracking the progress of the spurned USS Wolfpack while accumulating resources and assets from the company with assistance from SPECTRE.

Hunk left Umbrella just before the real collapse, and started The Guild, collecting the remaining alive USS members under their new banner.

The Guild is located in the Yukon, in a nigh impossible to access mountain region, and used an out of business ski lodge as a base of operations.

The United States Department of Justice has failed to convince a group of US lawmakers that state and local police agencies aren't awarded federal grants to buy AI-based “policing” tools known to be inaccurate, if not prone to exacerbating biases long observed in US police forces.

Seven members of Congress wrote in a letter to the DOJ, first obtained by WIRED, that the information they pried loose from the agency had only served to inflame their concerns about the DOJ’s police grant program. Nothing in its responses so far, the lawmakers said, indicates the government has bothered to investigate whether departments awarded grants bought discriminatory policing software.

“We urge you to halt all Department of Justice grants for predictive policing systems until the DOJ can ensure that grant recipients will not use such systems in ways that have a discriminatory impact,” the letter reads. The Justice Department previously acknowledged that it had not kept track of whether police departments were using the funding, awarded under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program, to purchase so-called predictive policing tools.

Led by Senator Ron Wyden, a Democrat of Oregon, the lawmakers say the DOJ is required by law to “periodically review” whether grant recipients comply with Title VI of the nation’s Civil Rights Act. The DOJ is patently forbidden, they explain, from funding programs shown to discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, or national origin, whether that outcome is intentional or not.

Independent investigations in the press have found that popular “predictive” policing tools trained on historical crime data often replicate long-held biases, offering law enforcement, at best, a veneer of scientific legitimacy while perpetuating the over-policing of predominantly Black and Latino neighborhoods. An October headline from The Markup states bluntly: “Predictive Policing Software Terrible At Predicting Crimes.” The story recounts how researchers at the publication recently examined 23,631 police crime predictions—and found them accurate roughly 1 percent of the time.

“Predictive policing systems rely on historical data distorted by falsified crime reports and disproportionate arrests of people of color,” Wyden and the other lawmakers wrote, predicting—as many researchers have—that the technology serves only to create “dangerous” feedback loops. The statement notes that “biased predictions are used to justify disproportionate stops and arrests in minority neighborhoods,” further biasing statistics on where crimes occur.

Senators Jeffrey Merkley, Ed Markey, Alex Padilla, Peter Welch, and John Fetterman also cosigned the letter, as did Representative Yvette Clarke.

The lawmakers have requested that an upcoming presidential report on policing and artificial intelligence investigate the use of predictive policing tools in the US. “The report should assess the accuracy and precision of predictive policing models across protected classes, their interpretability, and their validity,” to include, they added, “any limits on assessing their risks posed by a lack of transparency from the companies developing them.”

Should the DOJ wish to continue funding the technology after this assessment, the lawmakers say, it should at least establish “evidence standards” to determine which predictive models are discriminatory—and then reject funding for all those that fail to live up to them.

Tips for Maximizing Your Workout Earbud Experience

Cleaning and maintaining your workout earbuds is essential for ensuring optimal performance, hygiene, and longevity. Here are some general tips on how to clean and maintain your workout earbuds:

Cleaning Tips:

Regular Wiping:

Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe down the earbuds regularly. This helps remove sweat, dirt, and oils that can accumulate during workouts.

Cleaning the Ear Tips:

If your earbuds have removable silicone ear tips, take them off and clean them separately. You can wash them with mild soap and water. Make sure they are completely dry before reattaching them.

Disinfecting:

To disinfect your earbuds, you can use a gentle disinfectant wipe. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for electronic devices, and avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the earbuds.

Removing Ear Wax:

If earwax accumulates on the ear tips or speaker mesh, use a small brush (like a soft toothbrush or a specialized electronics cleaning brush) to gently remove it. Avoid using sharp objects that could damage the earbuds.

Drying:

After workouts, allow your earbuds to air dry before placing them in the charging case. Avoid charging wet earbuds, as moisture can damage the electronic components.

Maintenance Tips:

Store Properly:

When not in use, store your earbuds in their charging case. This not only keeps them safe but also ensures they are charged and ready for your next workout.

Avoid Extreme Temperatures:

Avoid exposing your earbuds to extreme temperatures, as this can affect battery performance and the overall lifespan of the device.

Protect from Moisture:

If your earbuds are not water-resistant, be cautious about exposing them to moisture. Keep them dry during workouts and store them in a moisture-free environment.

Check the Connections:

Periodically check the charging ports and connections for any debris. Use a small, dry brush or compressed air to remove any dust or lint that may have accumulated.

Update Firmware:

Check for firmware updates provided by the manufacturer. Keeping your earbuds' firmware up to date can enhance performance and address any potential issues.

Replace Ear Tips:

If your ear tips show signs of wear or become less effective at sealing sound, consider replacing them with new ones. Most earbud manufacturers offer replacement tips.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting common issues with workout earbuds can help resolve problems and ensure a seamless listening experience during your workouts. Here are some common issues and their troubleshooting solutions:

1. Connection Issues:

Issue: Earbuds are not connecting to your device.

Solution:

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device.

Check if the earbuds are in pairing mode.

Forget the earbuds on your device and re-pair them.

2. Audio Quality Issues:

Issue: Distorted or low-quality audio.

Solution:

Check if there's interference from other devices.

Ensure the earbuds are clean, especially the speaker mesh.

Adjust the Bluetooth codec settings on your device if available.

3. Charging Problems:

Issue: Earbuds are not charging or not holding a charge.

Solution:

Clean the charging ports on both the earbuds and the charging case.

Verify the charging cable and power source.

Ensure the earbuds are properly placed in the charging case.

4. Pairing Issues with Multiple Devices:

Issue: Difficulty connecting to multiple devices.

Solution:

Disconnect from other devices before pairing with a new one.

Reset the earbuds to factory settings if necessary.

5. One Earbud Not Working:

Issue: Sound only coming from one earbud.

Solution:

Check for debris or earwax blocking the speaker mesh.

Try resetting the earbuds or updating the firmware.

Ensure both earbuds are fully charged.

6. Intermittent Connectivity:

Issue: Audio cuts in and out during use.

Solution:

Check for interference from other electronic devices.

Ensure your Bluetooth source is within the recommended range.

Reset the earbuds and reconnect.

7. Earbud Fit Issues:

Issue: Earbuds falling out during workouts.

Solution:

Try different ear tip sizes for a better fit.

Consider using ear wings or hooks if available.

Clean ear tips regularly to maintain a secure seal.

8. Unresponsive Controls:

Issue: Touch controls or buttons not responding.

Solution:

Ensure your hands are clean and dry.

Check for firmware updates that may address control issues.

Refer to the user manual for specific control instructions.

9. Excessive Noise Leakage:

Issue: Sound from the earbuds is audible to others.

Solution:

Check for a secure fit with the ear tips.

Adjust the volume to a lower level.

If using noise-canceling earbuds, make sure the feature is active.

10. Microphone Issues:

Issue: Poor call quality or the microphone not working.

Solution:

Clean the microphone ports to remove debris.

Ensure the earbuds are positioned correctly during calls.

Check if there are any firmware updates that address microphone issues.
