10 years since #reinventlaw!! I’m not exaggerating when I say that the #reinventlaw Silicon Valley event changed the trajectory of my career. Huge shout out to @computational, @reneeknake and the rest of the team. #legaltech wouldn’t be what it is today without #reinventlaw ✊
Bob Ambrogi@bobambrogi

On the 10th anniversary of ReInvent Law Silicon Valley, a seminal #legaltech event, @rightbrainlaw and I are presenting 3 days of essays by some who were there, recalling what it meant to their careers. Day 1 is up now, with Dan, @R_Amani and @A_Ninhja lawnext.com/2023/03/reflec…

Preach, brother! 📢

@rightbrainlaw My view is, it’s possible, but unlikely. I do, however, think it will dramatically change the industry, just not destroy it. Change is good. The industry sucks as it is.

I just point to historic parallels which have not destroyed industries and have, often, grown them. Airlines (and pilots) with the development of autopilot. Bankers and tellers post the ATM (automatic teller machine). Even the less perfect example of “computers” (people who compute) getting their jobs eliminated, while their skill set became even more valuable in other emerging jobs. It’s possible that tech will be the “end of lawyers” as some say, but I’ll believe it when I see it. In the meantime, it’s VERY easy to show lawyers how to grow/improve their practices … now. That’s what i like to talk about. Growth.

@jborstein This is not a new pattern . . . But I’m still interested to see if this time might be different.

@VijitChahar Yeah, that seems like more of a PLG approach. My card analogy may be inapt, because adopting payments firmwide is probably a bigger lift. That said, I am skeptical of this individual’s bullishness on a $35K price tag for a technology whose exact benefit is still quite speculative

The key to AI adoption for innovative legal AI businesses is selling to lawyers, not law firms. If a tool can help a lawyer get a specific task done easier, faster or better, they'll use it and pass on the cost to their firm. Business models that require an entire firm to sign off on an AI tool, or worse, change their workflow, are much harder to sell.

This was compelling enough to get me to dust off this profile . . . And that means it’s pretty compelling.
Patrick Collison@patrickc

Why are personal injury attorneys the marginal bidder for roadside billboards in so many parts of the US? Is the sector really so large? A priori, I would never have predicted this. Quick investigation: "Costs and compensation paid in the U.S. tort system reached over $529 billion in 2022, or over $4,200 per U.S. household." 2% of US GDP! Also appears to have compounded meaningfully faster than GDP over the past decade.

Achievement unlocked! @NateSilver538 answered my question in a recent SBSQ issue. I’ve been a huge fan of Nate’s since at least 2012, listened to MANY of the 538 politics podcast eps, saw Nate in Seattle a few months ago . . . This is probably getting awkward. Anyway, stoked!

Maybe this take makes me the crotchety old man but this feels like it was inevitable. VCs funded taxis out of existence with ride sharing and now ride sharing has, effectively, become like riding in a taxi.
Alex Friedman 🤠@heyalexfriedman

For the first time in my ~10 years of using Uber, my friends and I have started avoiding rideshare services altogether. Instead, we’ve been picking each other up or having one of us be the designated driver, rather than relying on Uber or Lyft. Over the past year (at least in Austin), most of our rides have been disappointing: the driver isn’t the person in the photo, the car is filthy, the driving is erratic, or the driver hits on us — which, to be fair, isn’t always bad, but it can feel unsettling at 1am when you’re being dropped off alone. More often than not, it’s a mix of these issues. I don’t know if this is a nationwide problem, but it’s wild to see a service my friends and I once depended on become practically unusable. Honestly, I can’t think of a better time for Waymo to step in.

@adamdavidlong Eh, you might have been too bullish on smart contracts in the short run but I don’t think that the race is over by any means. Blockchain still has some very compelling use cases in legal, particiukarly in a world that appears to offer increasing expertise at a lower cost.

Five years ago, I thought smart contracts would revolutionize the legal system first, driven by business demand. Instead, AI advanced far faster than I expected, outpacing both smart contracts and my predictions. Timing is everything—and I got it wrong.

@samuelharden Is there such a thing as subposting on Twitter about LI? Because that’s what this feels like. 😏

I put a post on LinkedIn about using ChatGPT with internet browsing for legal advice and the comments to it are becoming like a Rorschach Test...

Shockingly little coverage of Utah as a soft swing state this election cycle.

Ryan Anderson, @filvine CEO, at #lexsummit says “Law firm systems aren’t all connected! Your *e-filing* system doesn’t talk to the rest of your practice management system. . .” Uhhhhh . . .
