In Washington, lawyers who cited non-existent AI-generated court cases have been hit with real sanctions, including disqualification from a case and referral to the state bar for discipline, according to a report on X by @RobertFreundLaw. Separately, a woman who allegedly interfered with the transfer of a gang member to ICE custody was charged with assaulting an FBI agent at the DC Central Detention Facility, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia announced this week via X. The sanctions against the lawyers, detailed in a post by @RobertFreundLaw on Friday, involve being ordered to provide a copy of the sanctions order to all clients, opposing counsel, and the judge in every pending case, as well as to every attorney in their firm. This action underscores the serious consequences for misrepresenting legal precedent, particularly when based on fabricated AI content. Meanwhile, the social media app Tea, which gained popularity for discussions among women about men, confirmed on Friday afternoon that it had been breached. The company estimates that 72,000 images, including 13,000 verification photos and images of government IDs, were accessed, according to NBC News. Following this breach, reports emerged on X from @Rightanglenews indicating that individuals are now creating maps of women who allegedly used the Tea app to expose men's personal information, a development described as a rapid turnaround.
