Tom ReedHOST
I think this is one reason AI capabilities have turned out to be far, far more jagged than we had any right to expect.
Tom ReedHOST
Few in 2016 would have predicted an intelligence that could outscore Stanford Law graduates on the bar without even coming remotely close to practicing law, let alone consistently lose at tic-tac-toe.
Tom ReedHOST
Stories like AI 2027 sometimes read to me as if automating AI R&D were a phase-shifting inflection point after which jaggedness inexplicably ends.
Tom ReedHOST
But I don't know why that would be the case when jaggedness seems primarily an artifact of the distribution of training data.

He's the author of earlier books on originalism and the 14th Amendment.

He's also a graduate of Stanford Law, who also studied physics, and clerked on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Garrett SnedekerHOST

Garrett SnedekerHOST
Also joining us on this episode of the Anchoring Truths podcast is John Duclius, one of our interns at the James Wilson Institute.
CaeminHOST
This turns out to be very important because it's through this newspaper that Thiel builds a network of people who remain part of his world for decades.
CaeminHOST
Now, after finishing his philosophy degree, Thiel went on to Stanford Law School and graduated in 1992.
CaeminHOST
Because for all of this time, Thiel has had one big goal, and that is to become a Supreme Court clerk.
CaeminHOST
One of the most competitive and sought after positions in American law with only 40 places available each year.
speaker_0HOST
The ideological war between father and son reached its breaking point when Sam reached college age.
speaker_0HOST
Sam applied for and received full academic scholarship to Stanford Law School, deciding to abandon the family business entirely.
speaker_0HOST
For John, who operated under a strict military mindset for loyalty and unicohesional matters of life and death, Sam's departure was seen as desertion under fire.
speaker_0HOST
John told Sam that if he walked out that door, he should never come back.
speaker_1HOST
He walked away.
speaker_1HOST
He won full scholarship to Stanford Law, turned his back on the hunting life, and cut ties with his family.
speaker_1HOST
For Dean, Sam's departure was a personal betrayal, but also a terrifying failure of his primary duty.
speaker_1HOST
For Sam, it was his one chance to break free from the dark shadow of their father's obsession.
Nico PerrinoHOST
So what did this founding generation think they were protecting when they added the freedom of speech or of the press to the Bill of Rights, and how much can their answer tell us about the First Amendment today? Joining me to look through history and to debate what originalism can and can't tell us about the First Amendment is Jud Campbell.
Nico PerrinoHOST
Jud is a professor at Stanford Law School and the author of two important law review articles on this topic.
Nico PerrinoHOST
One is Natural Rights and the First Amendment, and the other is Determining Rights.
Nico PerrinoHOST
Jud, welcome back onto the show.

Steven SolomonGUEST
Yeah.
Steven SolomonGUEST
Yep.
Nico PerrinoHOST
That was Judd Campbell of Stanford Law School and Steven Solomon of New York University.

I am Nico Perrino, and this podcast was recorded by a rotating roster of my FIRE colleagues, including Bruce Jones, Ronald Baez, Jackson Fliegel, and Scott Rogers.
Garrett StevensHOST
Growing up in Southern California, she was drawn from an early age to the big questions, philosophy, consciousness, the cosmos, and the meaning of life.
Garrett StevensHOST
She went on to earn a degree in philosophy from UC Irvine and a law degree from Stanford Law School, and spent eight years practicing litigation and mediation in Northern California.
Garrett StevensHOST
But those deeper questions never went away.
Garrett StevensHOST
Eventually, she left her legal career to pursue what she describes as an inner calling to support the evolution of consciousness.
Victor Davis HansonGUEST
And then she-- My father was going to University of Pacific, and she had a, a, uh, scholarship to go to Stanford, so she didn't take it, and she went to University of Pacific and graduated, as did he, and then he went into the Marine Corps, and they transferred him to B-29s.
Victor Davis HansonGUEST
And then she went to Stanford University, and in a year got another BA, and then she was one of the first women to go to Stanford Law School.
Victor Davis HansonGUEST
And then she had two Stanford degrees, a UOP degree, and when they were-- came to hire, she got a, she got two offers to be a legal secretary.
Victor Davis HansonGUEST
So she came all the way back to the farm and had no money, married my dad.
Victor Davis HansonGUEST
She would meet, meet us in Santa Cruz with my dad, and we would peddle fruit for six hours at, uh, Cabrillo College in the parking lot for, I don't know, eight years.
Victor Davis HansonGUEST
And she would do that.
Victor Davis HansonGUEST
And then I'd say to her, "Don't you think maybe..." The f- weirdest thing was that right before she died, uh, well, right, uh, somewhat, I had finished my PhD at 25, and I was farming, and she said to me, "Why don't..." She was on the board of Stanford Law School overseers, and she said, "You got your Stanford PhD.
Victor Davis HansonGUEST
Why don't you apply to law school? I'll retire, and you and I will go into practice, ag, uh, law." And I said, "I would rather die, Mom." [laughs] But, but when I was a professor, I started at 21,000.
Michael GibsonGUEST
And, you know, so it's like a lot of luck in these things.
Michael GibsonGUEST
Like just, you know, he was teaching a class at Stanford Law School.
Michael GibsonGUEST
And we got along philosophically.
Michael GibsonGUEST
So he asked me, he said, hey, you want to come on and be basically, you know, glorified TA for the course.
Roy SwanGUEST
It's just a fascinating story.
Roy SwanGUEST
The professors Bankman and Freed were professors at Stanford Law School, which is my alma mater.
Roy SwanGUEST
Once I started doing that deep dive, I never stopped reading about these things, these people and the technology.
Roy SwanGUEST
And what I learned is that many of the technologists and you know I'll call it the engineers and the theoreticians they are science fiction fans and a lot of their world view and objectives were based on their early reading of science fiction books.
Roy SwanGUEST
And by the way, that does not explicitly carve out anything.
Roy SwanGUEST
It tells you this is how you should think when you're making your investment decisions.
Roy SwanGUEST
And second thing is I had the really wonderful experience about a week ago of reconnecting with one of my Stanford Law School classmates Michelle Alexander.
Roy SwanGUEST
Michelle is the author of a book called The New Jim Crow.
