@willchen500 @ZachAbramowitz Do you think Harvey and Legora are promoting a “blended ARR”? Is this the new Founder mode? Lol I’ve definitely seen a number of startups recently try to convince me they weren’t just another token arbitrage

This happened. It’s why you see some in legal like @Kirkland_Ellis doing things different - where the currency is knowledge and trust. I do think these folks will lead by building incredible new application layers (stack) using this technology

As engineering, product, design, DS, etc. melt into a new kind of role, I was reflecting on what roles might look like in the future. For example, when I look at the Claude Code team I see what I think is five archetypes: 1. Prototyper: comes up with brand new ideas; churns out many ideas, most of which don't ship 2. Builder: quickly turns a prototype/idea into production-grade product/infra 3. Sweeper: cleans up the UI, simplifies the code and system, unships, optimizes performance 4. Grower: takes a product that has been built and iterates on it to improve Product-Market Fit 5. Maintainer: owns a mature system to make it secure, reliable, fast, and efficient as it scales Many people span across 2 roles, and sometimes 3 roles. I also notice that these roles are not really tied to job function -- eg. across Anthropic, some designers match category 1, some 2, some 3; same for engineers, PM, DS. A healthy team needs a mix of these, depending on the product: - A product that is new and pre-PMF needs people that are strong at 1+2+3 - A product that is growing and has found PMF needs 2+3+4 and some 5 - A product that has strong PMF needs 3+4+5 and some 2 Maybe product roles of the future will look more like this, and less like the domain-specific roles of today?

What is this news? Someone’s plans are not news. there’s been very little of anything noteworthy in legaltech lately besides copy and paste frontier model movement into legal…

Agree - I think you have to dive in and rebuild as fast as you can especially if you’re a startup in the 2020-2024 vintage… this may be your last opportunity to do so…so much to learn and cut out, and if you find that your rebuild from the ground up takes place far too quickly without any meaningful improvement to the product or operations, then you’re probably not as defensible as you thought. You’re either subject to replication or out of ideas.

Increasingly, I believe companies may need to be rebuilt from the ground up, where you have a single timeline of all observability + product metrics + file changes laid out in a retrievable system, like Datadog + Posthog + Google Drive + Slack (really unified filesystem of Claude

Legal AI superempowers normal individuals with no legal background to fight big institutions in bureaucracies and in courts on a level knowledge/skill playing field, for the first time in human history. As such, it is one of the most inspiring applications of AI.

@jack_newton It's a non-starter for my startup LOL Crazy when startups in #legaltech will have/are forced to have better compliance/policies.

Anthropic's new data retention policy for Fable and other Mythos-grade models is a non-starter for many law firm use cases. Hopefully this policy is re-evaluated as I see it being a major obstacle to legal industry adoption of an incredibly powerful model.

@MaxJunestrand @Wolters_Kluwer @WeAreLegora Is this 1) Legora subscription only (Legora pays WK and includes the content). 2) Legora + WK subscription (BYOL) 3) Higher-tier Legora package that includes WK access ??

The decision matrix here is pretty insane! "Believe me so regulate - concentrated power is an issue. But don't believe me and let it go unregulated such that concentration is an issue - even if we engender "competition" to avoid antitrust. But now believe me when I walk back about how powerful we're becoming... such that you might not consider regulating again. But then if you don't regulate, perhaps I'm saying it's not that powerful when it actually is - such that you will trust it again, and you missed your opportunity to regulate. Or such that if you do consider regulating, you're back at square one where you created a regulatory capture scenario.... Savvy?" -- Signed, Capt. Jack Sparrow

While I’m no fan of socialism or arbitrary confiscations of wealth, I can see why Bernie Sanders’ proposal (for the government to take a 50% stake in AI companies) resonates, including with many on the right. The CEOs of the leading AI labs have told us repeatedly that they will

@ZachAbramowitz @sandstonehq I hear good things about all — I’d like to get a listing up and a review / demo of @sandstonehq to publish it to our Inhouse marketplace and community.. We got a lot of buzz and intent signals for Wordsmith during and after CLOC. So something good there pre-funding announcements

@Jason Crazy comments. I don’t think Jason is saying that many of these companies shouldn’t die because they have no moat, he’s saying you shouldn’t just give them yours.
