I often use AI to generate content for myself that explores ideas. The first few steps are always building scaffolding in the form of issues, facts, arguments, resources and styles i want to inform and guide the drafting of the target piece. That’s the process I used here. ReasonableDoubts.ai

In the spirit of the Winter Olympics, I asked AI to add me to Team Canada. It may have stumbled upon some demonstration events for consideration at future games.

Number 83 on the list, but number 1 in your heart! I had a great time chatting with David Schnurman on the Lawyers Who Learn podcast. Kinda cool to have the CEO of one of America’s largest CLE provider open up and use LawQi (AI learning for lawyers) mid interview. www.lawline.com/podcast/lawy...

Sunday morning coffee and time to scroll the feeds. Take glasses off to better see the phone screen. Put glasses on when my wife talks to me from across the room, to augment my hearing with lip reading. Take glasses off to type this. #old

So…Grok says “Heil Hitler” and ChatGPT says “Hail Satan.” Mmmk. I guess that leaves Claude and Gemini to claim either of “Hail Hydra” or “Hail Skeletor.” Or maybe “Hail, Hail Rock and Roll?” That one would be ok.

On this day in 1980, Terry Fox dipped his leg into the Atlantic Ocean at St. John's to begin his run across Canada. This is the story of the Marathon of Hope. Listen to my episode on the Marathon of Hope 👇 pdst.fm/e/chtbl.com/... 📸CBC 🧵1/20

The photo shows Terry Fox and Doug Alward standing on a rocky shoreline by a body of water. Terry, on the left, wears a white shirt, shorts, and a prosthetic leg, while Doug, on the right, is in a brown jacket and pants. The background features a calm sea and distant land.

One CIO panelist mentions his firm has been internally building the law firm’s software since 2014. With #LegalAi, it’s a buy, not build - even for this firm. However, some Ai purchases will be used to build out new firm #legaltech. #LegalWeek25
