    Dumb professor is a professor and should know better:

    • Years of anything should be backed up
    • Don’t let AI run amok on stuff you care about

    Then again, he’s a law professor. His competence is teaching future lawyers. So maybe not the brightest bulb in the pack…

    Thus teaching said professor at least two very valuable lessons, one of which is to have at least one backup of your data.
