One of them, Yusef Salaam, responded to Trump's indictment with a one word statement: "Karma." Salaam and Rev. Al Sharpton join Chris Hayes."

As we discuss #GenerativeAI, it's "and" not "or":
- It's NOT #LLMs *OR* #KnowledgeGraphs (e.g., #SALI)
- It's LLMs *AND* SALI
SALI permits stakeholders (Providers, Clients, Vendors) to interoperate. LLMs can't interoperate natively.
LLMs need a skeleton (i.e., SALI) to:
1. Give Unique ID (IRI) to each LLM-generated/extracted #legal thing (e.g., area of law, claim, doc type)
2. Use SALI IDs + API standard to push/pull data: Providers/Clients/Vendors.
LLMs + APIs. SALI enables both.

The midweek edition of the top rated legal and political podcast Legal AF is back for another hard-hitting look at the most consequential developments at the intersection of law and politics. On this special midweek’s edition, anchors national trial attorney Michael Popok and former top Manhattan DA prosecutor Karen Friedman Agnifilo discuss: What the delays in the Manhattan DA Grand Jury investigating Donald Trump for the Stormy Daniels coverup may mean, as well as the impact of the last minute second day of testimony of former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker on the possible indictment; the trial court’s recent rulings in the E. Jean Carroll civil rape and defamation case against Donald Trump on DNA evidence and whether Trump has immunity from defamation claims; and Trump taking an appeal of then Chief Judge Beryl Howell of the DC Circuit Court’s ruling stripping many of his top aides of any “executive privilege” and compelling them to testify, including Mark Meadow, and whether Mike Pence will appeal the ruling forcing him to testify to Jack Smith’s grand jury too, and so much more.
