Elon Musk reveals the brutal math behind why a single hour of his time is worth $100 million "Tesla this year will do over $100 billion in revenue, so that's $2 billion a week. If I make slightly better decisions I can affect the outcome by a billion dollars. The marginal value of a better decision can easily be in the course of an hour $100 million" "You have to look at it on a percentage basis. If you look at it in absolute terms, I would never get any sleep. I'd just keep working and work my brain hotter, trying to get as much as possible out of this meat computer"

Students who used AI to study remembered less than those who did not.

"Attorneys should ask themselves whether the time and effort they will save by using generative AI to draft a legal document is worth the damage their career and professional reputation will suffer if they do not ensure the document’s accuracy."

As a law student, I can already see we're approaching the law differently than current associates or partners. Even between my 1L and 2L year, there's been a big shift. A lot of my peers use AI first for studying, drafting, and researching. This makes me think that there's no turning back. It reminds me of when big data took over baseball. It first started with pitchers and the metrics showing how much fastball velocity mattered. So the different organizations started training and drafting for velocity. But not everybody did this. Some organizations thought it was BS. At first, it seemed like they were right. Arm injuries rose, and many pitchers struggled with command. But eventually, throwing hard became the prerequisite. You can't really get drafted now without it. Today, high velocity is normalized - every team looks for it. Everybody is looking for the next edge (e.g., hitters with high bat speed.) AI is similar because there are many skeptics - and rightfully so. AI makes many mistakes and has led to numerous issues for lawyers (even at big firms). Even so, the competitive edge the tool gives you, if used properly, is real.

🚨New preprint! We find evidence of LLMs enabling people to file lawsuits without lawyers (filing "pro se") at historically unprecedented rates in federal courts.👇 1/n

This paper shows people are asking a lot of medical questions of AI already, but we have little evidence of how good or bad this is. Most of the published research uses old models & compares to doctors. How do new models compare to the info people would have gotten without AI?
