Greetings, my name is David Colarusso. I'm the co-director of Suffolk University Law School's Legal Innovation & Technology (LIT) Lab. With one foot in law and the other in tech, I really want the open web to thrive. So I created a bot (@icymilaw.org) and this site to help folks discover great law-themed content while showing off what one can do with sufficiently open protocols.
If you like these, you'll ❤️ The Finite Scroll, an open-source client-side algorithmically-driven RSS reader. You might also enjoy this post: How and why I (still) use social media. It includes tips on how to make your own custom social media algo(s).
In addition to the RSS feeds below, here's the legal tech feed 
powering @news.bot.suffolklitlab.org (another bot of mine).
Note, the number of fire emoji represent how many standard deviations more popular a link is than the average link observed in its category.

A collection of links shared recently¹¹ on Bluesky that look like they point to papers on AI,¹² sorted by popularity. Wondering why this section is on a site about the law?

- The Surprising Effectiveness of Deleting Weights in LLM Post-Training† 🔥How little of a pretrained large language model (LLM) has to change for it to acquire new capabilities? We find that zeroing fewer than 0.05% of its weights, with no other modification, matches full fine-tuning (FFT) at scale across three LLM post-training regimes: reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards, supervised fine-tuning, and on-policy distillation. Our method, Deletion Tuning, learns a binary mask over the gate projection of transformer blocks. Two practical advantages follow: the trained mask is hundreds to thousands of times smaller than the corresponding FFT checkpoint, and Deletion Tuning forgets far less, which addresses a central challenge in continual learning. Under reinforcement learning, its prior-task accuracy stays near the base level while FFT, LoRA, and random sparse fine-tuning lose up to 5.4 points. To understand why masking alone suffices, we analyze the geometry of the learned weight changes under reinforcement learning using stable rank, spectrum drift, and principal-weight overlap. Compared with LoRA and random sparse fine-tuning, Deletion Tuning is closest to FFT across the three measures.
