One of the tough things abt trying to investigate AI is that, w/o a budget to try lots of tools, you are really forced to just gather some baseline facts and then hope your bet on a tool pays off. Like in-house work I guess: make the best decision you can w/ ltd time & info.

@zackbshapiro Thanks for this. Very interesting. Curious how you think this would do for a decent-sized in-house department? Very different business than law firms and with different skills and priorities required.

@whignewtons @JonahDispatch Being a lawyer means you are doing homework and giving book reports everyday. But it can be super fun

@JeremyClarkson But no let’s not let farmers shoot or otherwise manage the animals that are spreading bovine TB.

@texasrunnerDFW And they have the hen of the month description in every carton. “Sassy sally loves pecking the grass for lunch”

@RileeDHarrison I haven’t felt this seen in months. One big reason I left litigation for data privacy. The monotony and slog of discovery is just gross and unnecessary.

@mlstrat Went from a decade of real estate and commercial litigation to data privacy in house at a bank. Best change ever. I’m so much happier.

@J_Dot_J We miss you

@aherman2006 Well I guess we know why we feel so stressed out and anxious when watching many of these episodes….

@inreGray I believe this condition is called being a lawyer or being a millennial.

@barstoolsports He looks like the tan coat creeper in “Limitless”

@inreGray At least your data is super safe

@johnpelwood Sketch if you want something whimsical and different for tea

@BarExamTutor The pass rate this cycle is pretty consistent with the rate during my cycle in *cough* 2011. Following you, I see other states have had plunging pass rates. I still think this exam is unnecessary and a wholly unrealistic test of whether someone can be a lawyer.

[Jake Brainard @jakebrainard]

@sydesq It depends on where you want to go. Most banks don’t hire anyone with less than 8-10 years experience. Other smaller or more tech-forward companies are more lenient. But in-house is a great life

[Jake Brainard @jakebrainard]

@inreGray I moved in house to do similar work and am professionally happier than I’ve been in a decade. I don’t know you but I know you’ll be great and be happy.

@J_Dot_J We should have mortgaged the future again and gone after Lamar. I know we are in cap hell, but we could’ve made it work for a couple more years before Evans has no more hamstrings.

@J_Dot_J Aston coming from middling meh to potentially being Merc killers? Even Stroll is in 6th now as LeClair’s car dies
