We have thousands of in-house and law firm customers at Spellbook. We are seeing: 1. In-house teams use AI to save millions in spend 2. Law firms use AI to hook deeper into client systems so that they can provide more value than ever Traditional model is threatened.
Over the course of this year, AT&T General Counsel David McAtee has stopped paying law firms to do many ​assignments traditionally done by junior lawyers, instead sending the work to a team of AT&T lawyers using AI. Read @sara_randazzo's latest column reut.rs/4rSGwPr

big part of our thesis
Heard of a top law firm completely cutting off Harvey and all API calls to Claude/OpenAI after they saw what openAI did with navier strokes Now hosting everything locally with GPUs they own, running Kimi and deepseek Think you’ll see a lot more of this going forward

Eu não sei explicar. Mas Era de Ultron com todos os seus defeitos ainda parece ser o filme mais "VINGADORES" do MCU.

there isn’t enough compute

I'm now a privacy advocate after dealing with many "SECs" (OP/INFO/COM) in the military and realizing my digital footprint exposed me personally. Financial transactions are among the most important. Not everything in crypto is a scam, there are some good dudes behind Alcove.
Disappear from Lazarus. Enter the Alcove.

I mean…yes
Heard from a neolab friend: “Even if we fail to train the best model, we locked in GPU capacity early. H100/B200/B300 rental prices have since gone up 2–3x. We can just resell the compute and print money.” OK, so that’s the business model.

BREAKING The Treasury’s entrepreneurship adviser has announced she is quitting. Alex Depledge tells my colleague @hannahprevett start-ups are treated as a “sideshow” and a “nice to have”. “Entrepreneurship can’t be seen as a good news bonus on the margins of economic policy. That mentality is really dangerous for British business as a whole…” Depledge due to leave her role on Thursday, the day after the Budget. Read her full comments here👇 thetimes.com/article/b28ab86…

People think they’re at a disadvantage b/c don’t have “best model” or most compute, but actually most over-funded companies under performing (no drugs in trials); Isomorphic, Xaira, Altos. Those 10+ years old Recursion (first wave of “AI / Tech Bio”), Calico (not primaroly “AI techbio” Anthropic: fine, it’s only 1 year, but no actual pharma milestones. I have pharma milestones I can tell uou my budget 10,000x+ smaller than theirs. If yiu say you’re gojng to cure all diseases in 5-10 years and it’s been 1 year and you don’t have 1 candidate in some kind of actual progrma. Hassabis / Isomorphic way worse on this hype since it’s been 5+ years. I call them “over-funded” 😆 unlimited money and compute and “talent”; most would call it well-funded and also 10,000x estimate was just for Life Sciences dept. Could be 100,000x bigger budget than me easily.

last days of Rome
🔥 Sauna raves are gaining popularity in Barcelona These wellness-focused parties are becoming an alternative to traditional alcohol-fueled nightlife. The idea emerged after staff at a local spa noticed that visitors were using the sauna as a place to chat and socialize. At first, employees tried to discourage guests from talking, but over time, it evolved into a new kind of social experience combining music, connection, and wellness. The video shows a sauna rave at Inner Flow Studio.

everything in the West has become more narrow as it’s become more financialised. we’re losing what made us special. individuality, risk taking, invention, beauty, eccentricity, humour.
In conversations with some technical founders and leaders in transition, I’m noticing existential angst around AI. For many builders, AI is intoxicating and empowering. They can build things they only dreamed of. But for some of the people I’m talking with, that excitement is overshadowed by a deep sense of loss. So much of what they’ve loved about working in technology has been the process of tinkering and learning as they build. For some, shipping was secondary. The satisfaction came from working through complexity, figuring things out, and getting better along the way. They don’t feel the same sense of exploration through prompting and waiting for the black box to spit out an answer, lines of code, or even an app. It’s like having an employee do the part they loved while they wait for the results. Yes, they can build faster, but they feel removed from the work itself. That’s left them befuddled and grieving. I suspect more workers will experience a meaning crisis as AI takes over parts of the work they loved. And they’ll need support finding their way through it.
