CRE Attorney with a Development & Finance background. Former Brookfield now with my own practice.
Surveying the wreckage... but preparing for the upswing.
Article 2 in a series on real estate joint ventures, this one focused on landowners.
How land gets valued, how to share the upside from entitlements (with two worked examples), and the protections a landowner should ask for. https://t.co/9sj8sFJfVW
The standard recruiting patterns have broken down with algorithms and faked resumes loaded with keywords and AI screeners and job postings put out their for compliance reasons.
Dad is right that the solution is what’s old is new again. Have a hundred coffees and video calls (in person best but allow for flexibility), be clear on what you’re interested in and ask to be passed further into their network or remembered when things come up. Eventually something will drop and you will get your resume in through a warm lead. Thats what they want and what you want you just need to make it happen.
@gabriel_zucman@peterthiel This should be illegal and he should be prosecuted. I think it’s clear the value of the shares at the time was far above what he stated.
Yep. My kids school every need to get a 93 to get an A but then I think like half the kids get As. It’s teaching them to be rote perfectionists which I guess a lot of teachers like. They should be given hard material and struggle with it - and be told it’s ok to struggle with it!
@CNBC Strategic communication is incredibly important and well paid but I am guessing a lot of employers are skeptical about trusting a 22 year old with it and prefer to handle themselves.
In a world with infinite resources, everyone would get an education tailored to their specific interests and abilities to maximize their individual potential.
I have a kid that hates reading fiction and sits in math class bored to tears. He’s very sharp but so much of his K-12 education is going to be sitting in a room doing things he doesn’t want to do while his 1/1000 math skills just languish waiting for AP classes to start.
@BlakeKellii@cyb3rops Yes, there’s an incentive issue where once you get to a certain level (e.g, Adam Neumann) you can run your company into the ground and you still end up rich and famous anyway. So, of course that creates weird behaviors and results.
Non-ironically this is why I think transactional attorneys who as business-minded (don’t over complicate things) can be fantastic businesspeople. Most of them will advocate for their interests it are highly ethical, hard working, collegial, etc. People make all sorts of jokes about lawyers but I would trust most real estate attorneys l’ve worked with to act ethically and work in good faith to honor their contractual bargaining.
Yeah. From trial and error I have learned with AI the first 1-2 times you need to do it manually, the you make it a task on your ToDoIst that you invoke manually then you automate and check the results then eventually you let it run more and more on autopilot. If you are a normie and you go straight to automated AI agents you will be banging your head against the wall for a while.
You can get there just over 6-12 months.
Claude is killing me with how conservative it is with permissions and approvals. I tried to have it edit an entry in Quickbooks and it's like a 30 minute process.
Will continue shifting things away from them and investing more into other tools unless they meet the market soon.
Yeah. I mean ultimately the tool either saves time or it doesn’t.
Claude is great for complex hands on things but for simple things setting up the workflows and permissions is laborious. Previously I’ve viewed it as an investment that will pay off in the future but if the answer is really just get an other subscription and shift work to other companies, thats more efficient. Im much happier with DOT for just plowing through a to do list and having it make progress on 10 random things at once. With using Claude to do the deep work only.
Getting all of claude, chat, grok, hermes is still really like 1 billable lawyer hour so reality is it’s just managing all the products that’s keeping me from adding grok.
We need to get over this. If I wanted to design a building I would not design it myself, I would want to an architect who uses AI as effectively as possible. Or a CPA, underwriter, risk manager, etc.
If his AI is not configured to spit out a more elegant answer on his work than the base model then that’s an issue.
Thanks for the honest take. I burned hours this summer trying to set up workflows based on hype only to realize later that the tools weren’t there yet. (Then new versions came out that just solved the issues off the bat.).
Even for folks who are AI-pilled it’s helpful to know where to make investments and not.
