@laurex or whoever made this, well done! It's a great example of how an LLM can serve the public interest by summarizing and structuring news of a court case across its duration.
The design is very good. One suggestion: Consider having the LLM use bullets for the longer summaries, such as "KGM (Kaley) — The Plaintiff Takes the Stand." This will relieve the reader of facing a wall of text.
Also, regarding "Every claim sourced from live web search": For me, that phrase created the expectation that every claim made by the various participants would be itemized. Instead, the system seems to be capturing the claims in news reports of testimony. That's not a bad thing. Most people probably would prefer the focus on key claims reported in the news, as opposed to a long list of all claims, many mundane. But it's worth thinking about whether a different tagline phrase would better communicate what's being delivered.
The reference to vigilante justice may be about killing a suspect before they're imprisoned or even tried, such as when a mob storms the local jail. The theory is, if people believe only death can bring justice, and the state doesn't have the death penalty, then the vigilantes will take matters into their own hands. Ergo, the state should have the death penalty.
Having recently done an in-depth review of arguments for and against the death penalty,[1] I can say that this argument is not prominent in the discourse.
I see; this makes more sense. It's a little hard to imagine these days though, but ages ago, mobs storming the local jail and hanging a suspect wasn't that uncommon.
Uncommon or not, vigilantism is incompatible with justice on a societal level, regardless of any alleged guilt of offenders.
Without a showing of evidence, a trial of the accused, and a verdict that withstands judgment, we're left with theories and conjecture, and hatchets long left unburied.
Is there a compelling alternative to the subscription part of Apple News (which gives access to a wide variety of publications' paywalled content for $13/month)?
For people who dropped this, was there something better you switched to?
