@elonmusk Through Starlink we were able to provide internet to 5 schools in Kenya for under 3k. It’s changing these kids lives! Elon is giving it away at cost to schools in Africa!

Pretty amazing how spoiled we have been with the @SpaceX launches with @Starlink video access. Almost seems odd we don’t have visuals on the @NASA launch after it’s in orbit.

Why even announce this? @Delta I’ve been a diamond member for years and your internet connectivity has always been awful / barely working. Now you are telling us we have to wait until 2028 to START getting usable internet while other airlines pass you by… @elonmusk pls fix with @Starlink! :-)

Would sure be handy to have a lawyer you could ask about the specific procedural protections you may or may not have in your communications with AI - but it's a lot easier to just use a platform that doesn't have anything to turn over.

A recent decision complicates the picture on AI privilege waiver. In Warner v. Gilbarco (E.D. Mich., Feb. 10, 2026), defendants tried to force a pro se plaintiff to hand over everything related to her use of AI tools in the litigation. Judge Patti shut it down entirely. The court's reasoning has two layers. First, relevance. The court held the AI materials were "not relevant, or, even if marginally relevant, not proportional" under Rule 26(b)(1), noting that this is a civil case, and not a criminal one (like Heppner), so different rules apply. Defendants had zero evidence plaintiff uploaded anything confidential to an AI platform. The court told defendants, bluntly, that their "preoccupation with Plaintiff's use of AI needs to abate." Second, on work product, Defendants argued that sharing prompts and outputs with ChatGPT waived work product protection. Judge Patti said no. The reasoning: work product waiver requires disclosure to an adversary, not just any third party. And ChatGPT "and other generative AI programs are tools, not persons, even if they may have administrators somewhere in the background." The court agreed with plaintiff that accepting defendants' theory "would nullify work-product protection in nearly every modern drafting environment, a result no court has endorsed." So does this contradict Judge Rakoff's Heppner ruling? Not necessarily. Attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine have fundamentally different waiver standards. Privilege can be destroyed by voluntary disclosure to any third party. Work product requires disclosure to an adversary or in a way likely to reach one. AI platforms aren't adversaries. This means it's entirely possible to lose privilege on your AI conversations while retaining work product protection over the same materials. Different doctrines, different triggers, different facts, different outcomes. I don't think it's realistic for everyone to understand exactly which protection applies, how each can be waived, and how the specific AI platform's terms and privacy policies affect the analysis. People should migrate to defensible positions, no matter the circumstance, and the enterprise agreement point I made after Heppner still stands. We're watching this area of law develop in real time, and the courts aren't going to agree with each other for a while. Buckle up. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

@AlexBerenson If there are no logs, there's nothing to produce in response to a subpoena. That's one reason we built Strongwall.

The only way to safely use AI in a legal context is when it does not generate discoverable documents in the first place. x.com/i/status/20217…
Moish Peltz@mpeltz

Your AI conversations aren't privileged. Yesterday, Judge Jed Rakoff ruled that 31 documents a defendant generated using an AI tool and later shared with his defense attorneys are not protected by attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine. The logic is simple: an AI tool is not an attorney. It has no law license, owes no duty of loyalty, and its terms of service explicitly disclaim any attorney-client relationship. Sharing case details with an AI platform is legally no different from talking through your legal situation with a friend (which is not privileged). You can't fix it after the fact, either. Sending unprivileged documents to your lawyer doesn't retroactively make them privileged. That's been settled law for years. It just hadn't been tested with AI until now. And here's what really hurt the defendant: the AI provider's privacy policy (Claude), in effect when he used the tool, expressly permits disclosure of user prompts and outputs to governmental authorities. There was no reasonable expectation of confidentiality. The core problem is the gap between how people experience AI and what's actually happening. The conversational interface feels private. It feels like talking to an advisor. But unless you negotiate for an enterprise agreement that says otherwise, you're inputting information into a third-party commercial platform that retains your data and reserves broad rights to disclose it. Judge Rakoff also flagged an interesting wrinkle: the defendant reportedly fed information from his attorneys into the AI tool. If prosecutors try to use these documents at trial, defense counsel could become a fact witness, potentially forcing a mistrial. Winning on privilege doesn't make the evidentiary picture simple. For anyone advising clients or managing legal risk, this is a wake-up call. AI tools are not a safe space for clients to process their counsel's advice and to regurgitate their legal strategy. Every prompt is a potential disclosure. Every output is a potentially discoverable document. So what do we do about it? First, attorneys need to be proactive. Advise clients explicitly that anything they put into an AI tool may be discoverable and is almost certainly not privileged. Put it in your engagement letters. Make it part of onboarding. Don't assume clients understand this, because most don't. Second, if clients want to use AI to help process legal issues (and they clearly will, increasingly), then let's give them a way to do it inside the privilege. Collaborative AI workspaces shared between attorney and client, where the AI interaction happens under counsel's direction and within the attorney-client relationship, can change the analysis entirely. I'm excited to be planning this kind of approach, and I think it's where the industry needs to head. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

strongwall.ai@StrongwallAi·
This is exactly one of the reasons we built Strongwall.ai. Most people don’t realize this. The chat interface feels private. It feels like thinking out loud with an advisor. But on most platforms, your prompts are logged, retained, and in many cases can be disclosed. That’s a dangerous gap between perception and reality — especially when legal strategy is involved. We built Strongwall on a simple premise: your conversations shouldn’t become someone else’s records. No logging. No retention. No training on your data. If AI is going to be part of serious decision-making, privacy can’t be an afterthought.

ChatGPT gets prissy when you ask it about completely legal products if they're on their naughty list, because they want to control you. Strongwall.ai believes AI should serve you, not the other way around.
