One of the tough things abt trying to investigate AI is that, w/o a budget to try lots of tools, you are really forced to just gather some baseline facts and then hope your bet on a tool pays off. Like in-house work I guess: make the best decision you can w/ ltd time & info.

@zackbshapiro Thanks for this. Very interesting. Curious how you think this would do for a decent-sized in-house department? Very different business than law firms and with different skills and priorities required.

@whignewtons @JonahDispatch Being a lawyer means you are doing homework and giving book reports everyday. But it can be super fun

Y’all! This is the single best letter we have ever received at AO. To my lawyers out there: please pick one of her questions and give me your best answer to read on the pod!

@JeremyClarkson But no let’s not let farmers shoot or otherwise manage the animals that are spreading bovine TB.

Bad news from Diddly Squat. We’ve gone down with TB. Everyone here is absolutely devastated.

@texasrunnerDFW And they have the hen of the month description in every carton. “Sassy sally loves pecking the grass for lunch”

Unexpected financial collateral damage from the recent Great Eggflation: Due to all others being out of stock, I was forced to either go eggless or buy these fancy expensive eggs Bought them and realized the yolks are 10x oranger. The eggs taste better Now I can never go back

@RileeDHarrison I haven’t felt this seen in months. One big reason I left litigation for data privacy. The monotony and slog of discovery is just gross and unnecessary.

Being an attorney is just responding with the same objections to the same interrogatory questions from the same law firms over and over again until you die

@mlstrat Went from a decade of real estate and commercial litigation to data privacy in house at a bank. Best change ever. I’m so much happier.

genuine question for other lawyers: have any of yall completely changed your field of practice, and if so how many years into your career did you do it? (i mean complete sector change, eg insurance defense to crim, corporate to immigration, etc)

@J_Dot_J We miss you

@aherman2006 Well I guess we know why we feel so stressed out and anxious when watching many of these episodes….

this show is set to premiere in *three months* and they have an entire other season to film?? variety.com/2024/tv/news/t…

@darrenrovell @dunkindonuts @BillSimmons

JUST IN: @dunkindonuts will sell Dunkings track suits starting tomorrow at 12 Noon ET at ShopDunkin.com

@inreGray I believe this condition is called being a lawyer or being a millennial.

Dilemma: I think I’m pretty great but I get skeptical when other people think I’m pretty great

@barstoolsports He looks like the tan coat creeper in “Limitless”

@inreGray At least your data is super safe

The irony of me locking myself out of my computer is not lost on me

@johnpelwood Sketch if you want something whimsical and different for tea

Taking my first vacation since the pandemic. Any suggestions for high tea in London? I'd also welcome restaurant recommendations and non-obvious things to do. I used to live there, but haven't been back for . . . 26 years?!? I suspect a thing or two might have changed.

@NJGov Pennsylvanian in the left lane

Scare a New Jerseyan in 5 words or less. 🫣 I’ll go first… “pump your own gas” 😰⛽️

@BarExamTutor The pass rate this cycle is pretty consistent with the rate during my cycle in *cough* 2011. Following you, I see other states have had plunging pass rates. I still think this exam is unnecessary and a wholly unrealistic test of whether someone can be a lawyer.

At this point it's kind of a given, but once again the top scoring school in Florida is....Florida International University. Pass Rate: 91%

@sydesq It depends on where you want to go. Most banks don’t hire anyone with less than 8-10 years experience. Other smaller or more tech-forward companies are more lenient. But in-house is a great life

Do I actually have to have five years experience to go in-house or

@inreGray I moved in house to do similar work and am professionally happier than I’ve been in a decade. I don’t know you but I know you’ll be great and be happy.

@J_Dot_J We should have mortgaged the future again and gone after Lamar. I know we are in cap hell, but we could’ve made it work for a couple more years before Evans has no more hamstrings.

@J_Dot_J Aston coming from middling meh to potentially being Merc killers? Even Stroll is in 6th now as LeClair’s car dies
