This week’s kitchen sink for November 13, 2026 (with meme from Gates Dogfish) discusses the Jensen Huang saga, building AI copies of lawyers & more!

Why “the kitchen sink”? Find out here! 🙂

The Kitchen Sink is even better when you can include a brand-new eDiscovery meme courtesy of Gates Dogfish, the meme channel dedicated to eDiscovery people and created by Aaron Patton. For more great eDiscovery memes, follow Gates Dogfish on LinkedIn here! Can I send blog posts through Slack? Asking for a friend. 🤣

Here is the kitchen sink for November 13 of ten-ish stories that I didn’t get to this week, with a comment from me about each:

We’re up to 2,292(!) AI hallucination cases and counting. That’s an increase of 26 cases this week. They’re even happening in Hebrew! 🤯

Jensen Huang resigns as Nvidia CEO amid reports of extramarital affairs – as it happened: A week ago, he was the most powerful man in AI (I won’t even say “arguably”, as Nvidia chips account for 85% of the AI market). Now, he’s out of a job. The Nvidia board might have been able to get past the first affair report (even with somebody reported to be a Chinese spy), but they had to force him to resign when affairs surfaced with not one, but two, Nvidia employees. Dude, seriously, what were you thinking? 🤔

Evidence that AI has attained Superintelligence in one field, Mathematics, and what this means to Law and Society — Part One of Three: The title says what’s being discussed, but that’s only the beginning when Ralph Losey writes about AI and superintelligence. The good news: Human direction and verification are central to Ralph’s discussion, which is how it connects to the practice of law.

4 areas where companies need AI guardrails: Another topic where the title says what’s being discussed – this one is based on interviews with 48 leaders at 28 organizations worldwide by MIT CISR researchers. Yet, it’s a simple and straightforward article. Hat tip to Stephen Abram for the coverage.

Security teams want to spot unusual AI agent behavior while they’re still defining normal: And I don’t mean “Abby Normal”. 🤣 But this article does discuss findings from Abnormal AI’s 2026 State of Behavioral Security Report. Interesting stuff.

France ties October supermarket fridge sabotage to Iran’s IRGC and seeks arrest warrants: I told you we could rule out Mr. Freeze! 😉 Rob Robinson has been covering this story since the beginning and now we have a suspect: Shahid Kaveh, a cyber unit of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Going to have to protect our “smart” appliances better.

Even With an Error, Expert’s “Troubling” Use of AI as a “Thought Partner” Did Not Undermine Expert Opinion: Michael Berman covers this case on the EDRM blog where the defendant in a criminal case sought interlocutory review of an order permitting expert testimony that was “assisted” by AI. Interesting discussion. We will talk about two cases involving expert use of AI in our webinar next Monday.

United Airlines Blocks A.I. Agents From Booking Flights on Customers’ Behalf: I expect we’ll see more businesses doing this. Of course, if I could use an AI agent to convince United to give me – a longtime customer – a better seat, I’d have to consider using it. 😉

OpenAI tells congressional offices it supports key chip export control bills: Jensen Huang’s seat isn’t even cold yet, and OpenAI is privately telling congressional offices that it supports three bills aimed at making advanced semiconductors and the tools used to make them harder for China to access – policies of which Nvidia and Huang were among the most vocal opponents. This is how the game is played.

The Next Generation Of Law Students Don’t Trust AI Hype: I consider this to be good news from Joe Patrice on Above the Law, as he covers “The College Student AI Reality Check,” is a new report from Blickstein Group reflecting responses from students across 37 colleges and universities, plus five in-depth interviews. The good news for the industry is that students are using AI, but not turning their assignments over to it. That’s hope for the next generation.

Will Your Law Firm Build an AI Copy of You?: You may laugh, but as Benjamin Joyner notes on Legaltech^® News, two notable firms are experimenting with AI personas and digital twins. Attorneys who are offered AI personas through their firms may ask an obvious question: “Who owns this?” The answer, unsurprisingly, is “it depends.” Hey, at least it sounds like today’s college students are developing the skills where someday people will want to clone them! 😊

Notion AI chats surface in Fireworks breach, testing what zero retention covers: As Rob Robinson notes: a dataset affected by a breach at AI inference company Fireworks AI held Notion AI chat transcripts from fewer than 1 percent of Notion workspaces. Still, Notion says Fireworks retained data from the endpoints Notion used despite a contractual commitment to zero data retention. I have a “notion” that they’re not happy about that. 😉 Lesson learned: audit your vendors to make sure they are fully living up to those commitments.

Hope you enjoyed the kitchen sink for November 13, 2026! Back next week with another edition!
