More big news for MSO/PC models. Oregon just enacted the most aggressive CPOM law in the country. All companies with an MSO/PC model will need to determine if the new law applies to them. Full analysis on the way but brief overview on my LinkedIn. https://t.co/0tuauAp6dA

Ben Horowitz: “Nobody was born a great manager. It’s a very unnatural job.”

“Startups get really hard when the product gets into market… When you’re building the product, it’s all good. How’s your startup? It’s doing fantastic - we’re building a product, it’s going to be great, it’s so genius, everybody I tell about it kisses me on the lips and says it’s wonderful. But then you get in the market and nobody wants it. Then it gets real hard, real fast.”

So the first job for any startup founder is build a great product.

“If you can’t build a great product, it doesn’t matter if you can build a great company.”

But once you’ve built a great product, your goal becomes building a great company. And to build a great company, you have to become a great manager, which Ben argues is a learned skill:

“Nobody was born a great manager… It’s a very unnatural job… But as CEO, as a manager, that’s what you have to do - you have to evaluate people’s performance. You have to correct them. You have to make sure they’re on task. And those kinds of motions, you have to learn how to do them, and you have to learn how to do them in a way that everybody doesn’t hate you all the time.”

Women can simultaneously manage teams, grow new humans, launch businesses, run a household, use their bodies as a FOOD SOURCE, and society is still all “nah women can’t lead.”

#Deepfakes are coming to courts. How will judges deal with them? The Federal Rules of Evidence set a low bar for admissibility, yet allowing juries to see deepfakes could be unfairly prejudicial.

My coauthors (listed below) and I are pleased that our article is now available in the University of Chicago Legal Forum:

Deepfakes in Court: How Judges Can Proactively Manage Alleged AI-Generated Material in National Security Cases

Our multidisciplinary team of authors includes judges, computer scientists, and lawyers. We discuss an election interference scenario, and the analysis is applicable for any scenario involving the admissibility of alleged deepfakes into evidence in a court proceeding. We hope that our article proves to be an important, informative, and interesting read for judges, practitioners, students, and anyone interested in the intersection of computer science and law!

🚨 Big and potentially worrisome changes for DTC telehealth models were published by the DEA yesterday that propose limiting the prescribing of controlled substances over telehealth. 🚨 Details in the photo. #DEA #Telehealth #ControlledSubstances

Firm client @transcarent announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Accolade. Transcarent will finance the transaction through a fully-committed equity financing led by General Catalyst & Glen Tullman’s 62 Ventures. Learn more: https://t.co/Yxg3AcoXEB

DEA extends the rule allowing remote prescribing of controlled substances until Dec. 2025. Good news, but hopefully a final rule in 25 will provide certainty for providers and investors. Both Trump and Thune have a history of being friendly to telehealth; will see what 2025 holds

We're ready for another day at the @HLTHEVENT Conference, the preeminent event for healthcare and wellness innovation, pushing boundaries to transform the next decade of health! If you see any of our folks around #HLTHUSA be sure to stop and say hello!

[Andrea Linna @AndreaLeeLinna]

Based on my newsfeed alone, #HLTHUSA is making a killing on these $4,000 (!) conference tickets. But, it's a must-attend event, so I'll see you all in Vegas! If you are interested in attending one of WSGR’s events—Sunday’s reception or Monday’s go-kart racing 🏎️ —message me!

How can judges handle #deepfakes under the Federal Rules of Evidence and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure?

Great to work on this interdisciplinary CS+Law project with computer scientists, lawyers, and judges!
