    They’re way too corrupt, far Right extremist, and most of it’s members are illegitimate. The Court needs to be completely reformed, increased by at least 20 Justices, and the shadow docket needs to be outlawed.

  2. The only people that think the Supreme Court isn’t political, is the Supreme Court.

  3. for fucks sake lady this isn’t a contest for originality its a fight for democracy

    They should be predictable.

    It just should not be predictable along party lines.

    Didn’t they make a movie about this with Chris Pratt?

    A Judge has to be -Impartial- which means at times they have to be unpredictable.

    This sounds like a way for the tech bro dipshits to create yet another gambling scam. Can old politicians stop falling for this garbage? There’s a bunch of 20/30 year olds out there who have stolen millions from the working class thanks to this.

    Don’t reward idiocy.

    Most of my life you can count on them fabricating fascist bullshit. It has been an issue for 100 years

    The Supreme Court should be predictable. The erratic, non sensical, partizan, corrupt shite we have seen the past years are *the problem*.

    It feels less like an AI problem and more like a transparency one. If decisions follow consistent patterns, models will pick that up. The uncomfortable part is seeing it quantified.

    The question is whether that predictability is fairness and stability, or something that can be gamed once it’s obvious.

  9. Hey maybe the most powerful court in the country should he predictable.

    Just a thought.

    Decisions should be predictable. You (should) follow the law. That is it. Nothing more.

  11. Predicting which way the vote goes isn’t important without detailed analysis of the exact decision implications which AI can’t do.

    Is this the first case of someone that’s in a relatively “untouchable” position feeling threatened by AI the same way regular folk have been feeling? Wow

    She’s saying that the cases selected are obvious partisan performances that defeat the purpose of the branch. The Supreme Court was created to grapple with nuanced issues so complex that previous courts couldn’t conclude the case. Judges were never meant to follow a party line, and cases were never meant to be partisan, which is why the outcomes shouldn’t be this predictable.
