@exlawyernft @GivnerAriel We licensed the IRS hold music for @ForemanTaxLaw and @HowTaxWorks !

@GivnerAriel They have music? Seems like a waste of taxpayer money. It should really just be random voices saying "fuck you, pay us" on loop.

“Your call is important to us. Your expected wait time is 2-3 minutes. Thank you for your patience.” IRS phone support is elite. I have nothing else to do today, and I love listening to their hold music 🙃.

Yikes…

Three states took swings at AI and crypto regulation this week. None of them connected cleanly. → New York's S7263 would ban chatbots from giving legal or medical advice — using licensing categories from an era before the internet → California's AI transparency law survived xAI's challenge — but mandates disclosures on questions even researchers haven't settled → Florida passed stablecoin legislation without waiting for Congress — guaranteeing exactly the fragmentation it was trying to avoid Also on this week's docket: SCOTUS passes on AI copyright, the SEC sends its token taxonomy to the White House, Uniswap beats another class action, and Anthropic publishes new data on AI labor market displacement.

Singapore Ministry of Law has released the Singapore Guide for Using Generative AI in the Legal Sector, a practical framework aimed at supporting the responsible adoption of GenAI in legal practice. The Guide highlights several key principles for legal professionals and institutions integrating AI into their work. It emphasizes on governance and accountability in the use of GenAI within legal practice Making it clear that while GenAI can assist in legal tasks such as drafting, research, and document review, the ultimate responsibility for legal work remains with the legal professional. Legal professionals are cautioned against inputting confidential or privileged information into public or unsecured GenAI systems without adequate safeguards. It recommends that organisations and/or law firms develop internal policies, train staff on AI literacy, and establish clear workflows for responsible GenAI use. The Guide encourages law firms to assess their needs, conduct due diligence on AI vendors, and implement tools in a controlled and monitored manner. This step-by-step approach helps reduce risks associated with premature or unregulated adoption. It also promotes continuous monitoring and review as an essential component of responsible GenAI use While the Guide reflects the realities of a highly developed legal ecosystem, it offers useful lessons for emerging digital markets. As AI adoption continues to grow across Africa, there is an increasing need for practical frameworks that support responsible use within the legal profession. Link - mlaw.gov.sg/files/Guide_fo…

🚨: A petri dish of human brain cells just learned to play DOOM

The Block & Order Weekly Docket is out. This week's lead: the NY AG sued Valve over loot boxes — and buried in the complaint is a detail that changes the whole story. (Three years of tolling agreements. Think about that.)

the state of legal ai on march 1, 2026: what it’s good for: - tireless Issue spotting - finding contradictions - fixing typos - reformatting - high level legal theory - structuring the skeleton of addressable issues - draft 1 for review by lawyers what’s it’s not good for: - fine tuned business judgment (more trouble than it’s worth to type in such granular context. please, bci now) - relationship dynamic sensitivity - market understanding of cutting edge legal trends - getting from 85% to 100% perfect - situations when every word and every comma matters because you need the language to balance ambiguity using a legal ai in lieu of an actual lawyer is like shipping a 10 minute vibe coded app to the app store. if you actually have a multimillion dollar deal, this is not where you want to skimp. if you want to send your landlord a complaint letter for withholding a $2k deposit, then makes more sense.

Nvidia, Amazon, Google will have to divest from Anthropic if Hegseth gets his way. This is simply attempted corporate murder. I could not possibly recommend investing in American AI to any investor; I could not possibly recommend starting an AI company in the United States.

This issue shouldn’t be political. Please don’t remove mass surveillance and the “we won’t kill people autonomously” protections from our negotiated commercial agreement should be non-controversial.
