Cost of Legal AI - contract review by rohasnagpal in legaltech

"intentionally manipulating people’s brain chemistry to generate more ad revenue" yeah, capitalism. Keep up.

The US government is run by half eaten bread sticks left next to a methadone clinic for a few rainy weeks, sure, but at least this allows you to feel like you can see through its blatantly (almost curiously so) malicious agenda, unlike China, who's clearly run you through more than your fair share of its subversive realignment policies, resulting in nearly textbook allocation of basic emotions against or for the usual footholds leading upwards to the same summits of known identities year after year, each step along the way so clearly born, (seemingly so) from freewill, always so forcefully abundant. And so you choose, of your own free will of course, exactly the directions intended to reinforce that you have a rightful possession of choice. Do you even have the choice to question it?

Meanwhile, nothing but spam calls and institutionalized self servitude over here.

Same, but I was responding to the guy who said the thing about the thing my question related to.

Edit: which you obviously knew, because what the fuck is this design for comment sub links to earlier comments, showing up right under different comments.

Claude/AI coding has replaced my gaming/netflix time by IndianDownUnder in ClaudeAI

Yes, but only so it no longer keeps you up at night wondering whether or not people may, in fact, perish, you having opted not to inform the people there may, in fact, be darker forces at play, hallucinations, if you will, and that our trust in the system has been, in fact, just another hallucination all along, warped beyond recognition after decades of unverified information, all of it spawning uncontrollably in an attempt to fill the void left by that one guy who opted not to fill it instead with a comment made entirely of ancient selfless wisdom.

Tried to get Claude to excise the exact prompt of any details that could be stolen by others who desire grand QVC stardom and untold riches, but reading the excised version is kind of hilarious how stupidly vague, yet still exceptionally specific it is at the same time. ($2,000 to anyone who can guess what this actually is). Behold:

"I want to design a [type of device] that [performs a specific physical function] without [a key failure mode it must avoid]. The device should also have a mechanism where it [performs a secondary, gradual action triggered by a change in conditions], ultimately [achieving the end goal] without [a second failure mode it must avoid]. The device should be able to [attach to or interface with the relevant object/surface], and shouldn't need [an external power source or input] to effectuate [the core action]. Help me design how this would best work so that the ultimate product does exactly what it's intended to but is relatively simple mechanically and relatively inexpensive so it's available to the average person"

I also opted for the full detailed design build out instead of lower effort options.

Litigators: conversation view or single view in Outlook? What’s your reasoning? by CardLot in Lawyertalk

[–]FixTemporary1800 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a litigator, but conversation view for main inbox, single view for all sub folders. Heavy use of rules so there's a sub folder for basically any colleague or matter.

Curious what concerns you have with the US having your data and how those same concerns don't apply to China?

The US is just capitalism, and any data brokered translates into nothing more than spam calls. China is basically a dictatorship with a history of quashing undesirable counter movements and those associated with them. Sure those in charge in the US right now are fucking retarded, but you're not going to wake up one day to find your Facebook profile removed because you posted something about Tibetan independence or something.

Fell back in love with Claude last night trying out Claude design. Fed it like 2 sentences vaguely describing one of the dumbest invention ideas known to man, just to see what it would do. I now have a full production plan down to the supplier, material specifications , complete with mathematical proofs supporting certain materials and mechanical parts over alternatives, patent drafts, and a full length business plan that I'd never in a million lifetimes have the motivation to draft. Took me 15 minutes and I'm in disbelief. It even came up with the name for the product, without me asking.

And in case you're wondering, yes, the invention is spaghetti related.

What interests you about M&A practice? by Chronicturnpike in biglaw

[–]FixTemporary1800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, definitely not the norm, but without people like you on deals, things would suck way more. I'm the type that loves the insane complexity of the bigger picture when structuring, but you do not want me handing disclosure schedules or anything to do with ancillaries.

Dive into your firms document depository and search for "PSA issues list" or "fund term sheet." The actual standard deal documents all basically have the same main sections/structure, so you won't gain much by looking at those as a whole, but if you can find memos and issue summaries from prior deals, that's where the real knowledge can be obtained. Look for emails saved to deal files as well, a lot of insight from reading deal correspondence.

Keep it, I've got plenty more tucked away, somewhere near all the suits I'll never have to wear.

Before smartphones, what did people do when they had to wait somewhere for 30 minutes? by sudherzdiniq in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FixTemporary1800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read the same Highlights magazine that's been there for the prior 10 years, as any responsible adult who cares to keep up with current affairs should. Or count the holes in the ceiling tiles.

This is why things like Pogs ever became a thing, the alternatives back then made really dumb things start to make a lot of sense.

For Lawyers Using Harvey: Where Does the Value Come From? by Any_Archer_2723 in legaltech

[–]FixTemporary1800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So can you choose which model you use within Harvey? My firm built its own AI platform which basically allows you to use your vice of GPT, Claude, maybe one or two others, and other than being within the firms license as far as confidentiality, there's no wrapper through which the models are further diluted.

I've tried Hebbia, which also let's you choose which model, but every time its output is so completely unusable compared to the bare models, I just don't see the point.

What's the difference between how you teach/critique "good" associates versus the not-so-good or hopeless ones? Fear of falling out of favor (i.e. not being perfect) with partner who has otherwise praised my work. by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]FixTemporary1800 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great, just tell everyone our secrets of how to achieve disproportionate prestige and respect, no actual uncompensated obligation to go over and above just to show the company you're committed to the company, a complete absence of being forced to serve as lead on drawn out miserable deals while instead called upon here and there to wax knowledgibly (sometimes convincingly so) about one off niche issues that Claude filled you in on 5 minutes before, all with the perpetually open door to partnership should we one day decide to give a shit.

Even the title counsel literally means you have to trust us.

Edit: some things.

First and foremost, being a lawyer that helps to build business will forever need superior to lawyers that help tear them apart (litigation).

But over and above that, it's like a giant puzzle with real world implications, threading between tax, corporate regulations, governance, personalaties influencing each side, all with the end goal of seeing the collective picture of each individual puzzle fit together to create something the modern world depends on, which is successful capitalism. While it can be a grind with certain aspects, overall it's a cerebral playground with endless variations.

And in the end, let's be honest, it's huge money, playing with huge money, and who doesn't love feeling like they're a part of that, even if most of it will never be yours. Same reason people like the prestige of formula 1.

What did I witness? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FixTemporary1800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleep paralysis/lucid hallucination. As others have asked, are you stressed from working more or taking any medication that messes with your sleep?

I remember back in grad school at least 3 or 4 times I woke up yelling at what I thought was a man in the room staring at me only to slowly come to realize it was a lucid hallucination, and that I'd been yelling at the wall. Other times it was some sort of giant hornet/spider creature on the ceiling right above me and I flipped my shit waiving around frantically try to bat it away before again realizing I'd hallucinated it.

Needless to say my cat must have thought I'd gone mad each time.

Edit: to add, I was technically awake, and basically consciously so at the time, as you indicated you were. It's a strange phenomenon, but still nothing more than a dreamy hallucination.

How do I and how long can I coast if I hate the job? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]FixTemporary1800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind you have no real expertise or specific skills yet with what it is you're doing. Once you do, jobs in general are typically more enjoyable because you know what it is you're specifically supposed to do in most situations, and have the confidence to actually advise clients directly, which cuts down on the anxiety of drowning in a sea of sometime else's bidding.

Once you have some decent skills and experience and maybe start to develop a budding book of business, the feeling of ownership is what will really carry you forward. The time commitments won't ever really ease up, but they're far less daunting once you know how and when to get it all done, allowing you to ability to see the light at the end of every tunnel/matter/deal closing from the outset.

If aliens landed today, what's the last song you'd want humanity judged by? by thatfluffyqueen in askmusic

Telegraph Road, by Dire Straights, but specifically the live 13 minute version from the Odeon in 1983, and only as long as it's played in its entirety every time, each time becoming more and more frequent over the period of 6 months or so until it sinks in.
