@SMB_Attorney Eh. Think about the search engine race of the early 2000’s. We now have free email, office suite, phone, etc. And the paid services are incredibly cheap. The same is probably true here.

The million dollar question about AI that everyone is overlooking: Right now, how much would you honestly pay for access to ChatGPT, Claude, etc.? For most business owners, the answers are shockingly high. And it's orders of magnitude more than $20... Guess what comes next?

Who’s going to #abatechshow?

@lawheroezV2 Hard as it is to believe, I’m the real @ThomGilman. Yeah…

As a community of legal and Legaltech people on Twitter, it would be great if people could change the names of their accounts to their real names so we’d know who we’re speaking with here. I feel like I’m speaking with a bunch of bots and avatars. 🤖 Not ideal for building relationships, trust, and collaborations . Let’s make this community real and human (again).

@PKMerlott @ihtesham2005 Probably not impossible. I use Adobe’s Combine Files option to make one bigger pdf, then enhance it to ensure the app can read it. More efficient and meets limits.

@ihtesham2005 He had six years of cases loaded in a tool that allows you a maximum of 600 files(on the ultra plan)? This is one lean law firm…

I spotted a lawyer recently at a big law firm doing something on his laptop between depositions. Took me a second to realize what I was looking at. He had NotebookLM open with 6 years of case files uploaded. Here's what he was actually doing. I watched him paste in a fresh deposition transcript and run one prompt: "Cross-reference this testimony against all prior statements in this case and flag every contradiction with exact page citations." What used to take a paralegal team 2 days came back in 90 seconds. But that wasn't the part that broke my brain. He uploads every opposing counsel's past filings into a separate notebook. Then asks: "What argumentation patterns does this attorney rely on and where have those arguments failed in court before?" He walks into every hearing already knowing how the other side thinks. I asked him how long he'd been doing this. "Since I realized billing hours for document review was making me dumber." His win rate in summary judgment motions is up. His prep time is down 60%. His partners think he just got sharper with experience. He told me the experience part is true. He just has a 6-year memory that never forgets a page number.

@zackbshapiro The best argument for any new tech tends to rely on vision and potential, not current reality. So the argument is that a few years of improvement and added legal training material will become something great. By using, paying, and participating now, you make that future possible.

Please shill me your best steelman arguments for why legal AI wrappers add value:

@robcgiani @paulg has some excellent essays on this. paulgraham.com/articles.html

A critical skill that I am looking to work on this year is writing. Curious if/how post uni adults have worked on improving.

@TheRyanMazur @paulg has written extensively about this truth. The writing process is the most rigorous kind of thinking.

I think every attorney who writes well knows this. You really don't understand your own argument until you've written it, then grappled with it. That struggle is where clarity comes from.

“Each camp warrants a visit.” Is what you say before picking up an ax and going to destroy the northern tribes to avenge your wife’s death. JG wrote from a place of constitutional pain.

@RingTailed16521 @gloria_purvis Democracy doesn’t have an entry fee. The homeless veteran has equal standing with the wealthy person because they have equal claim to this nation and its future.

@gloria_purvis “Free and easy to get.” “Easy to forge, fake, or otherwise manipulate.” If you can’t generate the resources to validate your ID, you do not get a say in the governance of the nation.

If people are required to show proof of citizenship to vote, then all the documentation one has to get must be made free and easy to get otherwise it is akin to having a poll tax that the poor and isolated cannot pay.

@zagundo @OpenAI How do you get the handwritten notes into Chat?

A workflow game changer with @OpenAI ChatGPT 5. Converting all of my handwritten notes to markdown. My habit of writing ✍️“morning pages” is now up to eight pages a day. I just add them to the same thread, each day and ChatGPT spits out near perfect markdown. Which I then paste into @obsdmd

@jennyrozelle @chenphilosophy @willharrelson Take Ohio’s guardian training courses, connect with local probate courts and attorneys, and you’ll find people with this need.

@jennyrozelle @chenphilosophy @willharrelson There is some need for this, but it’s rare in my experience. Most people who are planning ahead, want to use trusted relatives and friends. The much bigger and related need is to be a court ordered guardian. That’s the population that hasn’t planned and needs third parties.

Families need more good-hearted and honest professionals who will serve in roles like: - Power of Attorney - Executor - Trustee - Guardian There’s significantly more people who need our help than there are professionals willing to serve.

@productive_will I am loving @WisprFlow. It’s really saving me time.

Superwhisper or Wispr Flow? Wondering if there's any difference between the two. I love the speech to text option of ClickUp Brain Max. But it's not available on iOS. Yet...

@todoist You are amazing and lock screen widget worthy, but we gotta do something about that icon. At the end of current sprint. 😉

@NoahEpstein_ MCP Thanks

Claude just killed the $500/month AI agent industry with one update. Got DMs asking how I replaced $6K worth of AI tools with free connections. Here's how to turn Claude into your business's AI brain: 🧵

Lost in the discussion of how good GPT-5 is or isn’t is the fact that @OpenAI has been incredibly responsive to user feedback this week. They have completely transformed their rollout plans to respond to users. Really incredible for a project this size.
