The Short and Ridiculous Trial of a Protester Arrested in an Inflatable Penis Costume

I need someone who understands law better than myself to clarify here -- not only did the prosecutor call a witness not on the list, but that witness was the spouse of the defendant?? I realize this is Alabama, and I may be a caveman lawyer (#notalawyer #notyourlawyer), but isn't this wildly inadmissable? If this story is true, shouldn't Cracker Jack lose their legal degree accreditation, because that seems to be where these participants got theirs? Or do l need to return to my cave?

The Stanford Prison Experiment was massively influential. We just learned it was a fraud.

"We just learned" is a bit of a stretch. Here is a Medium post from 2020, which cites previous interviews and Jon Ronson's 2015 book "So You've Been Publicly Shamed," that explains the problems with the infamous experiment: https://medium.com/invisible-illness/have-we-gotten-the-stanford-prison-experiment-all-wrong-fad09471e79c

Edit: Ah, title is straight from the Vox title, and that article is from 2018

So, they added an MCP server with write database privileges? And not just development environment database privileges, but prod privileges? And have some sort of integration testing that runs in their prod system that is controlled by AI? And rather than having the AI run these tests and report the results, it has been instructed to "fix" the broken tests IN PROD?? If real, this isn't an AI problem. This is either a fake or some goober who doesn't know what he's doing and using AI to "save" money over hiring competent engineers.
