Welcome to Storyflo Daily Media. I'm Maya.
The story I'd lead with is institutional. 404 Media reports that the case brought by Nikko D'Ambrosio — the plaintiff who sued 27 women, one man, and several platforms after Facebook group members called him "clingy" and "psycho" — was dismissed against Meta after the judge suggested D'Ambrosio's attorney filed AI-generated errors and non-existent citations. Per Judge David Hamilton, the brief "included no citation to any legislative finding." This is now the dozenth or so high-profile case where AI-fabricated citations have cost lawyers their case, and possibly more. The press story is the case; the system story is that the courts are still figuring out what sanctions actually deter this behavior.
