The article doesn’t say it is vegan. And despite their “no plants, no animals, no oils” claim, the added “natural flavour and colour” needs to come from somewhere. Generally these are derived from plants, animals or oils.

I am unsure which of these you think is Batman…

Aren’t credit scores relative anyway? Your score is based on where you are in relation to everyone else with a score on whatever distribution the scores fall in. Correct me if I’m wrong!

Is the issue then that college is useless? Or that it is just too expensive?

Very good point. It seems crazy that this keeps happening, right? My current favourite hypothesis is from “Power and Progress” by Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson:

If everybody becomes convinced that artificial-intelligence technologies are needed, then businesses will invest in artificial intelligence, even when there are alternative ways of organizing production that could be more beneficial.

Add to that sunk cost (these firms invested in this tech, and maybe fired the paralegals that used to do this work, so they need to use the tech), and fundamental attribution error (those other lawyers failed using AI because of something fundamentally a part of their selves, I am only fail when there are external factors getting in the way of my self) and you get a recipe for seemingly irrational behaviour on repeat.

Now, if your lawyer (because they fired their paralegals) asks ChatGPT something while working on your case, can their queries be used against you?
