@rakyll @wjsimmonds We need the good people to stay!

@jaffathecake First one for me. Feels like the most useful thing about selectedoption is the rich (but often different) presentation of all information in an option. Keeping it in sync is fraught with danger, hard to reason about & hard to control. Manual update is relatively simple.

@LevinsLaw @gifford_head @ShipBrief @Joanna__Hardy I think jury verdicts must have a finality that they would not be able to have if they had to give their reasons. And from a practical point, I don’t know what an output that captures the nuance and diversity of the deliberations of 12 separate people could even look like.

@Rich_Harris @joshm A brilliant concept indeed, but “winter soup recipes” crunched the content and built this - which is not recipes, but rather just the names of soup.

@EJWalters @vlex @bobambrogi I too had the pleasure of having @EJWalters show me a quick demo. @bobambrogi nails the highlights in his post. Lawyers #pleaseread 🤯

[Thomas @Notion4Lawyers]

@EJWalters @vlex @bobambrogi This is wild.

[Ed Walters @EJWalters]

@jordan_law21 @bobambrogi Thanks, Jordan - can't wait for you to take it for a spin. I'm genuinely surprised at how good it is!

[Ed Walters @EJWalters]

Our team at @vlex has been working for months on a generative AI tool to write memos, prepare arguments, compare the law across jurisdictions, and analyze documents - we're releasing the new Vincent AI in beta this morning, and @bobambrogi has a first look.

[Ed Walters @EJWalters]

In one of my favorite demos, I was showing @mitchjackson the new @vlex #AI Research Assistant before our panel at #ClioCon. He asked a plain-language question in CA law that he had just tried. Vincent AI came back with the right answer - citing Mitch's case first! Neither one of us could believe it.

[Robin Chesterman @RobinChesterman]

Thanks Jordan! We’re on an exciting journey @vlex

[Robin Chesterman @RobinChesterman]

"...as close as I have seen in delivering on the promise of generative AI for legal research." Thanks Bob!

Delighted and proud to be at this point - Vincent AI is the most exciting thing I've ever worked on and will be truly transformational for legal research.

@jaffathecake It's full of great advice, but the site itself is a transition nightmare, particularly on mobile. Wild scrolling, unresponsive nav, and more jank than I think I've ever seen on one website. Making things nice on the web is hard :(

[Robin Chesterman @RobinChesterman]

Big AI development today for Docket Alarm that’s going to save lawyers *huge* amounts of time.

[Michael Sander @speedplane]

Just gave @DocketAlarm's Batch Downloader a brain boost, integrating OpenAI's GPT-3 & GPT-4 models. The new "Batch AI Analyzer" provides gpt-4 outlines of every litigation document filed in state or federal litigation. 2nd feature in a series redefining #legaltech

[Robin Chesterman @RobinChesterman]

@GaryMarcus I’m reading your book and thought of you with this

[Robin Chesterman @RobinChesterman]

Interesting reality check. #GPT4 can pass the bar exam in the 90th percentile, but it can't do my 8-year-old's homework.

[Robin Chesterman @RobinChesterman]

@ylecun worse than cogs. I’d be interested in your thoughts on why it fails so badly at this.

[Robin Chesterman @RobinChesterman]

I'm being facetious. GPT is incredible, and I use it every day to help me with problems far harder than this. The point is you just don't know when it's going to fall on its arse.

[Robin Chesterman @RobinChesterman]

Absolute nonsense.
