While I think the guy has points, LLMs are Not lawyers. Just because someone can look up an answer doesn’t make them a lawyer
@
They panicking because the whole profession is about to be replaced by AI
@
Ai are making people dumber.
@
The bell curve remains the same.
@
Cus thats really gonna help enrollment and the profession.
@
Our societies have organized our value systems too tightly around intelligence, and now we are caught with out pants down. Shame on us for not anticipating this.
@
One of my friends who is a lawyer told me that he knows a few people that got disbarred because the judge noticed there were fake case files in their paperwork… Obviously AI made up some fake cases and they didn’t double check
@
I’ll be there too
@
What about smartwatches?
@
I'm in grad school at a top Ivy and am sure that 99% of assignments are done by AI. Makes the whole thing kind of pointless.
@
Using the law and the process of becoming a lawyer to keep AI from replacing them. See how that works? You can’t do that though
@
Public Law Schools are closed forever in Connecticut
@
Not surprised, because there are companies, like Uber in June, who are cancelling AI contracts and rehiring humans because they thought they were getting work for FREE or super cheap with those bulk token buying… then saw companies like Open AI triple the cost for tokens, cancelled the contract, and moving back toward human works. Other companies in the USA are doing this…

I give it another 8-9 months before we see no AI in most companies and just only using humans again.

Apart from court representation, why would you need a lawyer in the coming years ?
@
Count your days, status, prestige and pay that comes with being a lawyer is long time.
@
He just wants to protect his law school and the earnings. What is he thinking? That AI expertise will stop in getting better? Can't wait to get nearly free advice and help in law and taxes.
@
every industry is being restructured and looked at. law has seemed to be the most directly affected, conversations about this go back a few years … good to see it here thx.

Now then GazFromLeeds, we didn't have "frame-perfect jumps" back in my day, just hard work and a leather briefcase. I reckon the Dean had the hottest take; we used to spend weeks in libraries for what these machines do in seconds.

That transition between Wall Street and DC is like a perfect frame-perfect jump—smooth as silk! This crew always hits the mark on the big plays. Who do you think had the hottest take of the session today?

The jump in chip demand is exciting for tech, but I can't help but worry about the geopolitical tension mentioned. It feels like we're balancing incredible innovation against some really unstable risks. I hope stability comes first.
