Whoa. Microsoft just laid off dozens of lawyers.
At least 32 attorneys and 5 paralegals cut in Redmond.
Up to 465 legal roles could be gone worldwide.
In-house used to be safe.
Not anymore.
According to legal insiders, this is “unprecedented”... even veterans with 7+ years at Microsoft’s legal HQ say they’ve “never seen layoffs anywhere near those numbers”
Microsoft’s President first claimed that AI wasn’t the main reason for gutting legal, then pivoted to say it’s about “prioritizing the future”...
AI tools are already replacing younger and mid-level legal counsel.
Recruiters suspect laid-off attorneys were “the bottom tranche, lawyers three to seven years out of law school that are more easily replaced” with AI.

It is interesting to see the impact that AI is already having on scientific research.
In 2 days, AI researcher Hinton won the Physics Nobel prize, and Hassabis won for Chemistry. Neither were physicists or chemists; they created AI tools that advanced research in other fields.

@lefthanddraft However, I should point out that I am not as impressed with o1-mini as many people seem to be.
o1-preview seems extremely capable, but o1-mini is routinely giving me mediocre results.
OpenAI released their latest AI LLM model - GPT-o1-preview, and it is quite good.
GPT-o1 has the ability to reason through complicated problems before answering.
I am quite impressed with it's capabilities
If you are a lawyer, law professor, or law student who has been resisting or ignoring the use of AI in law, then OpenAI's newest model, ChatGPT o1, should serve as a resounding wake up call.
