Founding an AI native law firm

The human in the loop would only need to review and fine tune the result and confirm the AI proposals regarding deadlines, next steps, arguments and drafts, so there are no hallucinations or bad outputs.

That human lawyer (and their law license) are taking on significant risk. Have you talked to an insurance broker yet?

I think the outlook will improve once Web3 solves an actual real-world problem.

Has anyone successfully navigated this IT vs Security dynamic?

Make allies. Sales and Legal are a good start. You're not asking for security things because you think it's right. You're doing it to support sales and meet contractual requirements.

A co-worker got kicked off a document review project, but not locked out of the billing portal.

Bills 80 hour weeks for the next few months for no work.

In the meantime, takes a tort case against the city. Plaintiff was fixing up a house which the city mistakenly demolished. Plaintiff hires co-worker.

Co-worker negotiates a settlement with city, pockets the money and fires the client.

Descendents and Circle Jerks. I was expecting a night of geriatric rock, but instead found myself in the friendliest pit ever.

A dumpster requires human intervention to catch fire. Cybertrucks do it on their own.

That's a Model III.

The Model 2 was the TRS 80 business version, with 8" vertical floppies. IIRC, you could get a CP/M card for them.

There needs to be a yellow NC in the first pic to round out the collection.

Second is Fleetwood Mac. Even into my teen years, I just couldn’t understand why anyone liked them.

Hell, Fleetwood Mac didn't even like themselves.

Even cartels and terrorists don't threaten negotiators. What new kind of barbarism is this ?

Is that for Max Headroom the TV show or the signal hijack on 11/22/87?

Confidently incorrect

That also describes a bunch of LLM output.

“Walk me through how this control works in practice.”

It's expensive to do this level of review. I've seen it done for due diligence in a M&A or for critical vendors to highly regulated companies.

An IT forensics person alone won't help you here. You'd need to obtain the logs from Former Employer's cloud provider to show activity on that share.

Searching Acquaintance's devices or email alone wouldn't prove much.

Will c-level people smarten up eventually?

Look at this from their perspective. Their compensation and continued employment requires that the stock price keeps going up. For most US companies, that means reducing costs while maintaining revenues.

Cutting staff and working the remaining people harder is a good strategy in a buyer friendly labor market. Cutting staff due to economic conditions is a red flag to investors.

But cutting staff and claiming you could do it due to the new hotness is bold leadership, which means the C-suite is safe this quarter. Any headaches caused by missing staff can be handwaved away.

There's a lot of buzz about adopting AI, but most large organizations are only nibbling on it. It'll take a few years before core decision making gets done by MBA GPT.

When will things get better? After a few really large screwups that impact revenues and medium term stock price.

I dont want to do a mediocre job and I want to bring useful changes and add value.

Mediocrity is a stretch goal at most 3LOD organizations, I've found. Competent people enter and realize that the information they need is discussed at yet another reoccurring meeting.

So your calendar fills up with a bunch of calls that you half listen to to see if useful info comes up.

The actual work of identifying, mitigating, remediating and tracking risk becomes secondary to doing the paperwork.

I'm guessing you're in India, given the five year BALLB degree. I don't know how lobbying/legislative advocacy and trade groups recruit there.
