OMG, please don't make me sign a bad AI policy. I was a practicing attorney and have been working with AI for many years. I can't do it. And, I WILL say something, and you will find me annoying and regret hiring me almost immediately.

MANY years ago, when I had my own (tiny) practice, I wasn’t measuring anything.
No cost per client. No conversion rate.
I was mostly winging it.
Now I spend a lot of time thinking about what happens after someone reaches out, and how much gets lost in that gap.

There is nothing more frustrating to me than endless strategy documents that go nowhere! Who will make the actual decision???

When there's lots of interesting territory to explore it's natural and commendable to be all over the map
Was asked to sign an AI policy recently. The more I read it, the less it held up in practice. This is more common than people think.

Republicans keep saying “just use your Real ID” to meet the SAVE Act’s proof of citizenship requirement, but that’s only true in 5 states(MN only for enhanced Real ID). The bill only accepts a Real ID if it explicitly indicates U.S. citizenship.
Ever think about how employers seem to want magicians and not employees? So many product roles hire the pm but not the full development team. You can't vibe code your way out of that problem.
When an "AI Expert" on LinkedIn regurgitates my advice years later about building legal tech products as if it's his own.
Ew.
But also, you could've gotten there faster if you had just listened in the first place.
Below meme same energy.
The made-up name is the brand. I think it's weird to refer to someone as their brand when they are working or discussing the person. Did Lady Gaga get a chance to eat her lunch yet OR did Stefani get a chance to eat yet? Outside of a marketing scenario, it seems dehumanizing to me.
There was a movie filming in NYC, and the trailers were outside my office at the time. I could hear them referring to Jennifer Lopez as "J-Lo" and I thought that was weird. She's their colleague.
Does anyone else feel like Episode 9 of The Handsmaid's Tale was a better finale than Episode 10?
People: You must use AI! It is the way!
Same People: If you see [], that's a clear tell the person drafted whatever using AI!
So, basically, use it, but do so in a way that nobody can tell you've used it....
Hot take: If you're overly worried about GenAI hallucinations, you're using it wrong.
Has traveling by plane always been so miserable? Am I just getting old and grumpy? I feel as if it was a much more pleasant experience when I was younger.
Just saw a job post in my LinkedIn feed. They are looking for someone who "thrives in ambiguity."
Does anyone really thrive in ambiguity? Survive maybe, but thrive?
My thoughts on the latest in the Ross saga:
Read “Training Data on Trial: How a Legal Battle Over Headnotes Could Impact AI“ by Jennifer Marsh on Medium: medium.com/@legalytical...
There is someone in the LegalTech space who is quite popular and does this on the regular. I noticed he posted a watered-down version of my posts all the time. I blocked him. No free material, buddy!
O.M.G. Someone just reached out to me as if I were a practicing attorney offering to make an avatar to auto-generate social media content. Talk about not knowing your audience!
We have one (husband's car). It's older, paid off, and are not in a position to buy a new car rn but uggghhhh. Yes.
Folks wanna become AI experts without first learning data fundamentals. Don't start talking RAG if you can't explain the difference between mean and median.
Analytics/statistics are different disciplines, but to me, it's like working on your dissertation before you learn how to read. 🤪
Do you expect astronomers to argue with flat earthers? No? Have some goddamn self respect and start to believe that there are ridiculous legal arguments that have no merit and no energy should be wasted engaging with them.
It’s perfect. Here Sheryl was, “leaning in,” taking charge, being the front woman and explainer and COO for the terminally vacant, inarticulate, and people-repelling Zuck FOR YEARS, and rather than gratitude, he does this.
How low can you get? But a great cautionary career tale for powerful women.
When I was a kid, Jose Canseco signed a deal for $4m/year to play baseball and it seemed like an UNBELIEVABLE amount of money. I track legal tech funding for my job and ROSS Intelligence getting $8m in 2017 is like that. I would hardly notice a raise like that now. SO MUCH MONEY FLOWING. 😬

celebrating dry signature January so you can put that pen away
Husband gave me a Godiva chocolate bar (regular bar size) 2 days ago. Asked where the "rest of it" is today.
What?
Does he think I am a person who can set aside part of a chocolate bar for days????
That song Grandma got run over by a reindeer was about a brutal sleighing.
Mine stopped being able to function at school, total burnout, and then the pediatrician was like oh yeah. I get it now. It is so hard to find reliable guidance, especially when in some ways it's less obvious. (PDA profile)
