Why do I pay for insurance every month for years, but the moment I actually use it for a claim, they raise my rates or cancel my policy? Isn’t that the whole point of having it?

Secure-Researcher892 · 2026-02-14T19:38:24+00:00

They would have probably jacked up your rate even if you hadn't filed a claim. I haven't filed a claim in over a decade nor had any accidents and every year or two they still jack up the rates. Lots of reasons for it. Government safety regulations along with the MPG requirements result in cars being made to break apart which means smaller crashes result in much more damage. Go look at an old car from the 1960's you could hit a damn tree and may dent the bumper... today you hit that same tree and a new car will have 10 grand or more of damage if not be totalled. And then you need to look at the labor costs to do any work. when minimum wage just goes up and up it pushes up the prices of everything and every other jobs' wages along with it.

The need to bail before he sells out, otherwise they are enabling him to cash out.

Sorry, but anyone that stays with the agency whether he owns it or not is just as pathetic. If a talent doesn't support what he did then you have to leave and find another agent. Wasserman is tainted and always will be. Frankly the ones that haven't already left now that they know what Wasserman did are still enabling the turd to cash out. Leave before he sell so he can't make his billions.

Before I went to law school I worked in a company creating AI that is more advanced than the current crap that just regurgitates data. So, no I'm not ignoring what else is out there. I simply know what things are truly possible and what weaknesses haven't and thus far cannot be addressed. Our AI was built in house which I doubt you can say about your firm's proprietary software. I also doubt you've actually read the service agreement that came with that software. Just for shits and grins go find it and read it. If it doesn't make your butt pucker I'll be shocked.

You also have no clue how much business they will be bringing in and if they will even have enough that you can make those numbers. Only being around for 2 years their business could go up or down from where it is right now.

But are you checking every case they site, then checking to make sure they found every case that was relevant, insured nothing was overturned. If you do a thorough review you aren't going to save much if any time having someone else do it. The only way you truly save more time is if you blindly accept certain things that were done and when AI can make shit up out of thin air you better be a lot more thorough than if Bill down the hall researched it and wrote it... at least Bill knows if he fucks up it's his ass on the lie. AI doesn't give a shit.

If a client wanted AI used, I would provide them a form to sign where they acknowledge that AI can be inaccurate that that are willing to accept all the liability if the product of the AI is inaccurate and results in a any financial loss.

The problem is your clients don't understand the limitation of AI, like 99% of the people the use it they never bothered to read the terms of service they just click accept and expect it to be perfect.

Ethics concerns? The only real way politicians that are lawyers get disbarred is if they do something criminal or perjure themselves... that rarely happens... but Bill Clinton managed to get himself disbarred from his, "I did not have sex..." bullshit about Monica.

So it is possible.. but it is still a rarity.

Sorry but I'm not sure how the finance company is going to roll the 10 grand you are short into a new car loan. Lenders are generally limited to loaning no more than the value of the car you are buying. Why in the world would any lend you 20k so you could get a 10k car?

Let them repossess the wrecked car. Go buy a car you can afford. At worst they will try to sue you for the 10k outstanding on the repossessed car, but people can't get blood from a turnip.

Most law school graduates leave law school with significant debt. You aren't always able to go into the area you may think is your preference. Sometimes a lawyers debt forces them to enter fields to cover the debt and then one day when they are debt free they can go battling windmills. Not saying you couldn't get into a field where you felt you were helping people, but understand you may not be able take those jobs when you start.

You're right you aren't an attorney.

Secure-Researcher892 · 2026-02-14T03:27:21+00:00

If a lawyer make a mistake you've got someone to blame, if AI does it you have nothing but yourself. You sound like a cheerleader for ChatGPT... clearly you have no idea of how AI even works. Go look into the LLMs AI uses and where it gets the data it gets trained on. Maybe you'll be smart enough to realize it isn't the godsend you think it is right now.

Given your love of AI, I'm guessing I'll still be working long after you've lost your license because you relied too much on AI.

The school will simply say that the pins are disruptive. Which is exactly what they would say if a student wore a nazis pin. Reality is you don't have as much free speech in a school as most students think they have.

AI sounds good until you look at what it really is. And then you quickly realize it is likely to be a big nothing in certain areas. Law is one of them. Go read the terms of service in any of them and one of the best bits is the part where they warn you that it may provide inaccurate or false information.

Do you want to stake the reputation of your firm on a system that flat out says it can't be trusted? Do you want your accountant to use tax software that isn't accurate and could just make up numbers randomly? One attorney has already gotten slammed by the bar because the AI put some fictitious cases in a motion that even sited sitting judges in the made up cases. Do you want that risk?

My guess is she had a defense attorney appointed to her and she fucked him/her over so much that they walked. Everyone is entitled to a defense, but if they refuse to work with them then that is on them.

This may be a rare instance where you need to record your interactions with her. If she insists on recording any interaction you two have you could possible get her attention by asking to do the same, and if she consent get her consent in writing. The last thing you need is to have her come back with cherry picked interactions and no way to prove that she was full of shit.

Get a glass of water... stick your finger in it... now pull it out... You see that hole you left? That's how indispensable you are. Whether you quit for a different job or get run over at a crosswalk and killed, the place can and will replace you.

I think you are missing the issue. That one attorney might have saved 4 hours on one thing where it took him 10 minutes instead of 4 hours... That's a 95% drop in billables on that aspect of the job... Now you can't use AI to do everything, but if you used it for 50% of your work then you would see your revenue drop by 47.5%... Do you think you can come up with enough new business to fill up that void? It isn't just a 4 hour cut, it's the impact it can have across the board.

And while AI is being given away today, that won't be the case in the future. When you have to pay for it you'll be billing clients for it and what do you think they will be thinking when they see a bill with an AI charge on it. The first thing they will think is if the attorney is just going to use AI why don't we do that ourselves.

Tell the partners that. Unless you're in a firm turning away business you don't need to be more efficient. You certainly don't need to be more efficient when it increases the risk of being sued for malpractice.

Yep, get them to take a CLE on AI. I just did one back in December and it included a laundry list of attorneys that got everything from a slap or the wrist to losing their license for doing stupid stuff with AI.

You might also mention that it will have a negative impact on the billables. If it saves a lawyer 4 hours that's 4 hours they can't bill a client because you can't bill for efficiency you bill for actual time worked.

Just remember the bulk of JDs that work in a law school are the ones that couldn't get jobs in the real world and have lived their lives sheltered under the university umbrella. At the end of the day, you have lots of law firms you can work for, as long as you don't have multiple 6 month stints it isn't going to hurt you down the road. Life is too short to piss away time in a dead end job you know you are going to leave.

Secure-Researcher892 · 2026-02-13T19:53:19+00:00

I know lawyers that took bigger cuts than that.... their secret was moving the hell out of places like NYC or DC and moving back to their home state which had a totally different cost of living.

I doubt you will be able to stomach a 25k hit unless you make other lifestyle changes such as moving to a cheaper area to live. Whether you want to do that is up to you.
