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
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.
nothing creates more libertarians than working close to government
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.

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.

🔥 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.
when did we normalise turning up to meeting without knowing anything about what the meeting was about?
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.
