In a new study, University of Minnesota law professors used the AI chatbot ChatGPT to answer final exams in four courses at their school. The AI passed all four, but with an average grade of C+. The University of Minnesota group found that ChatGPT was good at addressing “basic legal rules” and summaries, but failed when it came to locating relevant issues in a case.
When confronted with business questions in another study, the generator “amazed” at simple business management and process analysis questions, but failed to handle advanced process questions. It even made mistakes in sixth grade math — something other AI authors have struggled with.
If you’re not sure if we’re ready for robot advocates, you’re not the only one. DoNotPay is a free AI-powered chatbot that can compose letters and fill out forms for various legal matters, including parking ticket appeals. Joshua Browder, the CEO of the New York startup, announced that his company’s bot would represent a defendant fighting a speeding ticket in the courtroom on February 22. However, he received several jail threats from prosecutors if he went through with his plan. DoNotPay is postponing its trial. Browder told NPR, “The truth is most people can’t afford lawyers. This could have shifted the balance and allowed people to use tools like ChatGPT in the courtroom, which might have helped them win cases.”

Ayaneo 2 Review: A Steam Deck Pro?
A nicer screen, much better performance, but double the price.
For people intrigued by the Steam Deck but want something with a bit more power, the Ayaneo 2 is a great small (expensive) portable gaming PC, says Engadget’s Sam Rutherford. It features a newer Ryzen 7 6800U CPU that delivers 25 to 40 percent higher frame rates than the Steam Deck, while its sophisticated Hall sensor joysticks allow for even more responsive controls. The Ayaneo 2 also features a 7-inch frameless LCD display with a higher resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 and plenty of connectivity thanks to three USB-C ports. Crucially, it’s based on Windows 11 rather than SteamOS, meaning it should run virtually every game imaginable. The main downsides are a somewhat short battery life (about two and a half hours on a charge), the lack of built-in touchpads, and a starting price that’s $450 higher than the Steam Deck. Yes, that’s about twice as much.

Hacker arrested for trying to sell personal data of almost all Austrian citizens
Personal data includes full names, addresses and dates of birth.
Dutch authorities arrested a hacker in May 2020 for obtaining the personal data of almost all Austrian citizens and trying to sell them – and the defendant had also offered “similar datasets” from Italy, the Netherlands and Colombia. According to authorities, the hacker posted on an online forum the nine million records, which police say consist of “registration data” residents are required to provide to authorities: full names, addresses and dates of birth – but no financial information. “Since this data was freely available on the Internet, it must be assumed that all or part of this registration data is irrevocably in the hands of criminals,” the police said.
