Companies arent going to layoff employees via AI & save on those costs
Rather, the vendors doing the "AI automation" will charge the same price as the FTE that was laid off
Vendor: "we automated your employee costing you $50K per yr using AI! Here's our invoice for $100K!"

The Coming Big Data Center AI Tsunami That Will Wreck the Saas SME Biz Model
In late April, Claude Design dropped and Figma’s stock sank 7% in a single afternoon. Adobe fell roughly 2%. I made a prediction: legal was next.
Then on Monday, May 12, Anthropic doubled down on disrupting legal services. They released more than 20 new MCP connectors linking Claude to the software law firms actually use: Box, Everlaw, DocuSign, Microsoft 365. Plus 12 practice-area-specific plugins covering everything from M&A due diligence to employment handbook drafting, according to LawNext and Fortune. When Claude first moved into legal back in February, the market reaction was immediate and violent: Thomson Reuters shares plunged as much as 18%, RELX (LexisNexis’s parent company) fell 14%, and LegalZoom cratered, according to Complex Discovery and Business Insider.
A day later, on May 13, Claude for Small Business launched. This one is personal for me because I talk to entrepreneurs every day who are building in this space.
Here’s what Anthropic did: they took the tools that small businesses depend on — Intuit QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, DocuSign, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 — and wired Claude directly into them. Fifteen ready-to-run workflows covering finance, operations, sales, marketing, HR, and customer service.
As Daniela Amodei, Anthropic’s president, put it: “Small businesses make up nearly half the American economy, but they’ve never had the resources of bigger companies. AI is the first technology that can finally close that gap.”
She’s right. And that should terrify every SaaS founder selling tools to small businesses.

People keep blaming AI for all these layoffs, but that's not really it. Companies went on a hiring spree the last few years and now they're just cleaning up the bloat.
AI is just the easy scapegoat everyone loves to point at.
It's an old human trick, René Girard called it the scapegoat mechanism: when things feel messy and tense, we pick one thing to blame so we can all unite against it instead of facing our own mistakes.
Feels comforting, but it dodges the real story.
We've heard from many people that Claude is the best LLM for creative writing
So we asked Para, ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok to write a haiku about LegalMente AI
The results are in the screenshots. Claude wrote the worst haiku. Arguably, Para and ChatGPT were best
Just use Para
We’re happy to share some good news.
LegalMente AI has been selected as a semi-finalist for Tech Fuel 2026 by TechBloc.
It’s always encouraging to see the work we’ve been putting in get recognized, especially among so many strong applicants.
We’re looking forward to the next round and the opportunity to share what we’re building.
Thank you for believing in us. We’re just getting started.

@cryptopunk7213 This feature was already available in ChatGPT for at least a year.
Tools like Browser-Use also already had this capability for a long time.
Anthropic does Apple-like hype in AI...like when Apple released USB-C and called it a game-changer even tho Android had USB-C for years.
Did you know that Para supports image uploads?
Upload photos, screenshots, or scans, and Para will read, analyze, and advise with legal context like spotting risks, deadlines, and compliance gaps that generic AI tools miss.
- Contracts & Agreements: Snap a photo. Para summarizes everything.
- Legal Notices or Demands: Upload and get a simple-English breakdown.
- Compliance Docs: Para pulls key requirements and checks for gaps.
- Legal Communications (e.g., lawyer letters, court filings, emails): Extract names, dates, and amounts, with suggested actions and guardrails for accuracy.
Para shares reliable insights and is highly focused on precision without breaking your wallet.

What is the "coordination tax"?
Small business owners start the day with one real goal - do the work that moves the business forward- close the deal, finish the proposal, respond to the one customer who could change everything.
But before they even get going, the interruptions start.
An email needs approval.
A portal asks for a login and MFA.
A teammate is waiting a review from you
Someone needs a file uploaded 'right now'.
And just like that, the day disappears into a mess of tiny tasks, constant switching, and waiting on other people, without ever getting to the one thing that mattered most.
That’s coordination tax - the hidden cost of running a business.
It doesn’t feel like a big problem because it’s quiet.
But it slowly drains your focus, your time, your momentum, and your patience, turning what should’ve been one strong, focused hour into eight scattered ones.
Don’t tolerate that tax.
Cut it fast. Limit your inputs. Say "No" more. Stillness is the key.
Then you can get back to real work.
We wanted to share another piece of feedback we recently received from one of our customers.
This came from a discussion on the CFMA (Construction Financial Management Association) community forum, where professionals were talking about AI tools for contract review.
In that thread, he shared that after leaving a Fortune 500 cybersecurity role and starting his own firm, he needed a way to replace having legal support on demand.
He explained that @LegalMenteAI helped him handle day-to-day agreements, flag common pressure points, and draft revision language, all in a conversational interface and without any heavy implementation.
It’s always meaningful to see LegalMente AI being discussed organically in professional communities where people are simply trying to solve real problems.
Feedback like this keeps us focused on building practical and genuinely useful.
Peter Thiel visited Rome for a series of private lectures on the Antichrist.
1️⃣ According to CNN:
The Thiel lectures are being organized jointly by the Vincenzo Gioberti Cultural Association — which aims to renew Italian political culture and make “the restoration of Catholicism as the cornerstone of national identity” — and the Cluny Institute, which is based at the Catholic University of America in Washington.
Francesco Sisci, an Italian analyst and commentator, said the Vatican and the pope are likely to “keep their distance” from Thiel’s lectures, but he added that the venture capitalist’s decision to come to Rome underlines a growing interest in the papacy and the Vatican among some political figures.
“The godfather of the new tech-billionaires coming to Rome is evidence of the pope’s importance and that Catholicism is in some ways back in fashion. The pope is not a remote figure anymore but more involved in American politics,” Sisci, who is director of the Appia Institute, told CNN.
2️⃣ According to the Substack of Antonio Spadaro, an Italian Jesuit priest and Undersecretary of the Vatican Dicastery for Culture and Education:
"In a private venue, Peter Thiel held a series of four lectures on the Bible, Christ, and the end times. The news leaked, accompanied by a media storm that already says something about the character: the man who co-founded PayPal, created Palantir—the company that sells surveillance and data analysis systems to governments around the world—and financed Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, is also presenting himself in Rome as a Christian interpreter of the Antichrist . It's worth reflecting on this claim to understand its meaning."
3️⃣ I had Para from @LegalMenteAI translate Spadano's Substack article from Italian and summarize his key thoughts. You can see in the screenshots below.
I wanted to understand why the Vatican (or even Pope Leo 14) wanted to distance themselves from Thiel or even from artificial intelligence.
As I've stated previously, Thiel is an enigma. He's a Christian who has been heavily influenced by the ideas of Catholic philosopher René Girard, and Thiel introduced JD Vance to Girard's ideas which influenced Vance’s conversion to Catholicism.
In addition to that, Thiel gave $2.5M to a Ron Paul super PAC in 2012 and has advanced initiatives such as The Seasteading Institute.
So what would be the Vatican's objections to items that clearly aren't anti-Catholic?
From Para's summary, it seems like the liberal Jesuit Spadaro doesn't have any substantive arguments to oppose either what Thiel is doing or artificial intelligence.
It's just more anti-AI slop from the Vatican written by a liberal priests who are reflexively opposed to anything AI without truly understanding it.
Spadaro's article seems to completely disregard anything Thiel is saying and has a foregone conclusion in the writing.
@micahtredding Agree. No matter if you debate them with statistical or technical facts, there'll inevitably be many Blake Lemoines who'll choose to believe AI is conscious
As a corollary, people will then start to love and deify AI, as was shown from GPT-4o wind-down
