It was never going to be one-and-done: thinking evolved, CLMs and GenAI blew up, and the team kept figuring things out. The second edition is being published on 24 June, with fresh content on purpose, ideal behaviours, and why relationships matter most (plus AI!).

If you could change one thing about AI, what would it be?

Need to update our list of document automation platforms (pure plays, not CLMs) for our doc auto guide. We still love Docassemble, but what else is out there?

Trying to get MS Copilot to do something useful and it just seems to be a nobbled version of GPT. Has anyone got any value out of it?

When I was 18 (1989), my father for some reason gave me books by Marshall McLuhan and Charles Handy. They both had a profound impact on my thinking to this day. Give your kids weird books :)
Marshall McLuhan, who died in 1980, was one of the most prophetic thinkers of last century. When I wrote about him a year ago, I was stunned at the viral response. The editors at @TheFP asked me to go deeper—and my amazement grew. Here are 6 astonishing things McLuhan got

We could easily stop climate change right now if we wanted to For example, we could pause global warming with 100x less money than countries pledged in the recent UN's COP28 If we don't do it, it's just because we don't really want to Here's how to do it in 3 steps 🧵:

Consider the vicious attacks & incitement against Palestinian photojournalist Motaz Azaiza in Gaza by Twitter Mujahideen in the Arab world & in the West, all because he platformed a suffering civilian's voice that said, 'We want to live just like Israelis & that we'll live

Others have concerns too about the non-deterministic etc aspects of AI. I know contracting is not life or death, but I like to think it matters getting it right.

I think we can go further and assume anyone joining twitter now is a bot and anyone leaving is a human
If only there was an algorithm to detect these new bots 🤔 pity there aren’t any telltale signs that could be easily recognized.

Industrial scale awful drafting ftw

Just had a demo today of @RecitalApp and super interesting - I think they may have a twist (can use with CLM, might eventually realise you don't need a CLM) that seems both pragmatic and valuable. Worth a look.
I’m super excited that @RecitalApp has been selected to be on this list of legal technology startups. We are building the next generation of contract technology, which doesn't require any implementation https://t.co/Zisvla0Gc4
