@lawheroezV2 I am with you entirely. And, if only, if I needed to understand how to do a thing there was something I could consult that might help me do the thing.

@stuartwhittle So much time and grief can be saved for trainees and new lawyers by teaching them the real practical things that lawyers actually do in law firms and in house teams. This isn’t about GenAI. There’s so much more to do there before that moves the needle and creates value from day 1

Let’s starts small and get law schools to first teach law students about how to use MS Word and how to use “track changes” in MS Word. Then let’s get law students to learn about drafting contracts. Then we can start talking about GenAI tools in law schools. Basics matter.

@ArtificialLawya have you tried training it to eat from your hand yet?

Every time I go for a walk in the local park, this little Robin pops out of the hedge and sits on the bench next to me.

@lawheroezV2 Not least that there is no perfect for any given value of perfect

Done is better than perfect. I will die on this hill.

@JoannaMG22 @VirtualAstro the books are worth a read too. really enjoyed them

@VirtualAstro I thought of you - I just started that show and it’s so good! Also geeky 👩🏻‍💻

I've been watching that 3 Body Problem on Netflix. I've heard it hurts a lot of people's heads. Not me! I'm loving it. Give it a watch and don't stop watching, until you've binge watched all 97 episodes. It's also set in Oxford which is of course the greatest city in the world!

@RupertWhite Saw them recently on their Southern Death Cult tour - they were actually really good (have seen them in the past when they have been, well, decidedly less good)

What a track. I don’t even care that’s it’s just one enormous verse with some changes in pretending to be a chorus. So it’s a one-trick pony! It’s a fucking good trick

@Clevy_Law Relatively (ie relative to the people and process pieces), technology is the easy bit!

The legal tech ecosystem doesn’t work if the components are not aligned and working together. People+Process+Technology work best when each supports the other.

@lawheroezV2 My useful/cool gadgets list - Garmin watch, front and rear bicycle light/camera combo, iphone, Sony noise cancelling wireless earbuds, outdoor thermometer (tells me what to get dressed in for my cycle to work!), Sonos system, lap top, high capacity emergency lap top powerpack.

@stuartwhittle I have my few products that I use every day that make my life easier. Also they add some light to my day as they’re so fun to use and well designed. That’s what I call cool.

cool” technology is cool but what’s even cooler is technology that addresses real needs, gets used, and makes a real difference in people’s work and lives. in my book, that’s the coolest. otherwise, what’s the point? build for real impact. my favorite products address my real needs and make my work easier and more enjoyable every day.

@JimsWheels Many thanks

@stuartwhittle I've only tried these once, yesterday, but they worked well in my winter boots with merino socks. It was about zero degrees with a northerly headwind, I rode ten miles. amazon.co.uk/Insoles-Rechar…

Silk liner gloves, winter boots, new heated insoles, spare wheels fitted with Marathon Winter tyres... next week looks a bit chilly again. I actually like it. Makes the commute more of an adventure. Shellards Lane is always icy from the spring water.

@ArtificialLawya there is a very good BBC podcast series about it all: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

So much for a single version of truth.... 'based on no evidence other than the Horizon (central IT system) records' #PostOfficeScandal

If you only read one thing today, read this. It notes the awful #legal mess that was created + perpetuated by the ⁦@PostOffice⁩ even though they had their *own* doubts about the IT system. #legaltech #lawtwitter theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
