@FilmUpdates Promising start but looks like a dud

Five months ago, I argued against the President's $4 trillion tariffs at the Supreme Court.
In 237 years, the Court had never struck down a sitting President's signature initiative. Legal scholars said it was impossible. Some of my own colleagues said it was impossible.
We won. 6-3.
But the real story isn't what happened in that courtroom. It's what happened in the months before. And its the subject of my TED talk, coming out tomorrow.
I had the best legal team in the nation, especially Colleen Roh Sinzdak, the most outstanding legal strategist I know. Huge thanks, too, go to the Liberty Justice Center (and in particular its fearless and hyper-intelligent leader Sara Albrecht), who organized the client small businesses, as well as to the brave small businesses themselves.
I also had four teachers preparing me.
A mindset coach who'd worked with Andre Agassi.
An improv coach who taught me that "Yes, and" works in Supreme Court arguments the same way it works everywhere else.
A meditation coach who taught me stillness.
And Harvey.
Harvey predicted many of the questions the Justices asked — sometimes almost word for word. Brilliant. Tireless. Occasionally insufferable.
Here's the catch: Harvey isn't a person.
Harvey is a bespoke AI I built over the last year with a legal AI company, trained on every question every Justice has asked in oral argument for 25 years, and everything they've ever written.
Tomorrow, TED releases my talk about what really happened — and what I learned standing at that podium.
AI can predict. AI can analyze. What AI cannot do is the one thing that actually won the argument.
Connect. Read the room. Hear not just a Justice's words, but her worry — and answer the worry.
That is the irreducibly human skill.
Find yours. Go deeper. In this age of AI, that's where your edge lives.
The talk goes live Thursday, May 7 at 11am ET: go.ted.com/nealkumarkatyal
What's the irreducibly human skill in your work — the thing AI can't touch?

@effthealgorithm I was smiling as I read this, and then realized by the end my heart was racing. Shut it all down.

@UNCballTalk @ForePlayPod @everymanjack @RiggsBarstool Amazing how a course that isn’t 6300y wide open desert with no teeth can expose the true nature

@wil_da_beast630 Work a bit north of loop, live NW city proper and is 11 miles. Always feel stuff like this is nyc goofballs coping in some way. “Can only walk 6 miles here!!” as the autopay confirmation email pops up for $6,600 monthly rent.

You can literally do this on a farm.
In Chicago, a grid city 2-3x the size of Manhattan, it is 79 blocks down the North Side to downtown, and another 95 down through the functional South Side areas.

This will sound like an obnoxious “only in New York thing” but randomly deciding to walk 6 miles home from work because it’s a nice day and you want some fresh air is really an amazing experience you can’t get anywhere else

Let it begin… The Masters has arrived — and there is nothing like it.
Seven days inside Berckmans Place, where the game’s history, luxury, and pure magic collide within the gates of Augusta National Golf Club.
Today: all 9 replica greens, every putt with something on the line $$$, every moment unforgettable.
Hosting our world-class partners & sponsors, surrounded by the greatest stage in golf — this isn’t just a week, it’s an experience few ever get to touch.
Tomorrow can’t come fast enough.
PLEASE @GolfChannel @RichLernerGC @chambleebrandel take your audience and give them a taste of Berkmans, would be an amazing feature. 7 days is an amazing gift, Berkmans never disappoints! @BCBO1

@BetCaddieGolf @BowTied_Golfer I actually think we will get here, but will likely take several rounds of turnover throughout USGA leadership.

@BowTied_Golfer If you ever had “status” on any professional tour, you should never be allowed to participate in a USGA amateur event

@Captain_Cat15 @jJett45 @swteebs @GrantHorvatGolf But why can’t he talk about it? Unless they’re going to allow him to share footage eventually and there is a lid on any discussion until then. Otherwise seems to be overly dramatic engagement bait.

@br_betting Ignoring for a moment the investment return on a 1M up front, this is like 5 FTs per minute for an hour a day. Is this a joke?

@Top100Rick Will never have to worry again about finding a single family home to stay in during tournament week

@nickbateman33 One of the thickest ploops have ever heard. Was like they cranked up the hoop mic for it too.

@SHistorians Can kind of understand it:
- Cam Boozer faces jump ball risk doubled in corner, poss arrow UConn?, so passes to
- Sarr, poor FT shooter, still time left, only up 2, so passes to
- Cayden Boozer, got surprised by two guys closing on him but sees two wide open teammates, and…

I honestly feel like this tops Chris Webber’s timeout call.
All you have to do is hold the ball. Players didn’t know it or coach didn’t tell them.
Either way this was a choke.

I like this and I agree.
What are some of the best examples?

@TheMasters @McIlroyRory @SmittyTweets1 would have to do buffalo chicken horseshoe as main course yeah?

@La_Lola_Larue Don’t think TD a super strong candidate either but was easy choice of the two esp given the previous losses. Surprised at how big the margin was.
