IMHO, these numbers are WAY too low to actually retain the small handful of people that both understand the law and know how to apply AI. These people are unicorns and they are going to command much higher pay. They will get that pay either in law firms or outside at legal technology companies.

The director of artificial intelligence is Big Law’s hot new job, paying anywhere from $200,000 to more than $400,000 a year. Read more: bit.ly/44n7UKC

What in the fresh hell??? Imagine being a 6th year peon of an associate and stumbling your way into this circus. Mr. Cardone, sir, respectfully, you’re mad the wrong fella. This kid ain’t got a CLUE what’s going on. He’s just trying to pay his student loans lol

Meet Raj Mathur of Susman Godfrey DEMANDING MY DEPOSITION BE SEALED FROM THE PUBLIC! He spent 16 hours deposing me and then asked courts to seal my testimony as confidential. Sussman Godfrey & junior associate Raj Mathur does NOT “My Testimony” public. They don’t mind damaging my reputation but they do not want you to know who they are. My experience with these people at SussmanGodfrey are they are a bunch of disingenuous, lying, greedy, unethical, soulless human beings willing to do whatever it takes to extort fees out of people like you and me. He’s already removed his profile from LinkedIn and it looks like sussman removed his name from their website. This is the first time I’m able to get my truth out after six years of reputational damage and now they want to make sure the public never sees the testimony because it makes their case look frivolous. Sussman Godfrey made $600 million last year attacking small business owners like myself. They have Weaponized class action lawsuits to overwhelm business owners with outrageous legal fees, wasted time and energy and public embarrassment & irreparable damage to brand & reputation. After spending 16 hours grilling me he ran out of our offices, almost crying, making flee claims he was being held hostage & threatened. A $500 private black Escalade wisked little Raj off with private driver, all at my expense, to bring him back to mommy & daddy at Sussman Godfrey in their posh multi million dollar New York Headquarters.

@signulll We block a decent amount of great foreign products. It’s all very frustrating. Here at least i could possibly be persuaded there is a national security concern (I’m not yet but could entertain arguments).

state protected capitalism where incumbents privatize the upside while the government socializes their competitive risk by banning cheaper better foreign alternatives. yuck!! this is akin to the american govt giving the trophy to the usa soccer team & calling them world cup champions after the knockout stage. no one who has ambitions would ever feel good at participating in a system like this. i would rather live in communist china. i can’t believe this is a consideration. this is unamerican.

Men used to go to war, launch 1,000 ships, fight cyclopses, and defy gods. Now they go to their little email jobs and complain about shoulder pain

@SMB_Attorney Now throw up a slide if AI in … any other industry. Of course many of these will fail/be acquired, but there is a TON of good to be done and $ to be made. We just finally have a thriving startup economy like .,. Any other industry. It’s a good thing.

if you truly believe in recursive self improvement of artificial intelligence in the next few years, the idea that we should be wasting resources fighting other countries becomes quaint.

When a lawyer starts telling you about their law review article topic in law school, you just have to understand that that's a great sign of respect in their culture.

i want to review more hardware, especially products built around ai. i’ll also be posting about gear (clothing, bags), tech, & products i genuinely love. maybe there’s room for an alternative to the endless youtube slop review industrial complex??? hardware has always been one of my deepest interests, so if you’re building something cool, send me a dm. i’d love to try it & write about your work.

Trial lawyers are lobbying against self-driving cars because they're too safe. They need people to be killed and injured so that they have material for lawsuits.

@SMB_Attorney The speed of building the Empire State is truly astounding. We now spend 4x that time fixing bricks on a facade. It took them 2 years to fix the escalator on the 4-5 train by my apartment.

Understanding this history and recognizing the incredible human physical toll that went into these feats for benefits that were largely realized outside of their lifetimes is something everyone would benefit from. Get to work and stop thinking so small. We owe it to these guys.
Zane Hengsperger@zanehengsperger

how long it took America to build things: transcontinental railroad: 6 years (1869) Empire State Building: 410 days (1931) golden gate bridge: 4 years (1937) hoover dam: 5 years, finished 2 years early (1936) the pentagon, largest office building on earth: 16 months (1943) alaska highway, 1,700 miles through wilderness: 8 months (1942) a liberty ship: 42 days average, one built in 4 days as a stunt (1943)

@scottastevenson Would love to hear your POV. We’re all just guessing and thinking through second and third order effects.

I’m skeptical about it being a terrible capital allocation. It’s hard to imagine that the handful of labs at the absolute frontier will not command a premium, maybe even a massive premium over the next best. Some areas of the economy can’t afford to be second best, such as defense, cyber security, stock trading or anything else for which victory or defeat depends on being marginally better than your opponent. In these areas alone, you might be able to find justification for the valuations we see today. For everyone else, good enough intelligence will be good enough.

@scottastevenson That and every other normal business that today spends a lot for intelligence. It will not just accrue to technology businesses.

The discovery of LLMs might be like the discovery of fire or electricity: completely indefensible, a commodity spread rapidly to hordes of people who build applications around the foundation. The vast majority of the value accrual may happen at the application layer longterm.

Here's what separates an okay employee from an incredible one. An okay employee brings you a problem. A great one brings you the problem, three options, and a recommendation. The gap between those two is basically your whole management job.
