I think this is managers learning what doctors have known - few people want to eat right & exercise; they just want a pill. For too many #AI has become that pill for #productivity, but in many cases it's not real productivity. AI is a powerful assistant, but you still need to collaborate with it.

Wow, autoplay video with sound on an article? In 2025? Come on ZDNet, do better. 😬

I'm reminded of the old saying about overestimating what tech will do in the short term and underestimating what it will do in the long term. I see a lot of firms moving ahead with AI exploration and initiatives. And yes, fake evidence worries me too. fortune.com/2025/07/23/a...

This is an interesting escalation. Now it's not enough to not let your assistant or AI file false cases in your matter, but you also have to catch it if your opponent does. I suppose due diligence should reveal these anyhow so it's mostly a reporting requirement. #LegalTech #AI #Ethics

Sort of 3 podcasts in 1. Zack chats with Chad Fox about reaching goals. Then a brief chat w/the folks from Paxton about how it can help attorneys in their daily practice. Finally, the main event, "memory champion" Nelson Dellis about how we can train our brains. lawyerist.com/podcast/mast...

We set up an Android tablet similar to this as a family calendar/meal planning/weather device in the kitchen. Cheap and easy way to communicate important family info to everybody. lifehacker.com/tech/onn-101...

It's interesting that Inc. Magazine's email newsletter features a lot of articles lately about side hustles. Not sure if that's a comment on the economy or...

Key quote here: “Every client asks us how we are going to use technology & where the savings will be." -Mark O'Conor, DLA Piper This is why I think AI is going to put more pressure on the billable hour than previous tech. Clients are aware of it & will ask about it. www.ft.com/content/f94a...

Huh - guess the fake Hawaiian Airlines service account got deleted. Good.

A worthwhile read for anybody in the #Legaltech space. AI is a tool, not an authority. www.lawnext.com/2025/09/new-...

Got pinged by another LinkedIn scammer. I'm letting ChatGPT have a conversation with "her" in the persona of Richard Feynman. 🤣

This raises an eyebrow for me. How can they sign forms claiming to be duly elected electors when, in fact, they had to know that they were no such thing. Smells like fraud to me. www.npr.org/2025/09/09/n...

This is awful for the 42 people cut, but not much less awful for the thousands more who have to open their email every morning wondering if they're about to be cut. :-( www.geekwire.com/2025/microso...

Decided to waste a text scammer's time yesterday, and have some laughs, so I decided I could only reply using movie quotes. Scammer: "I live in Boston, MA. Where do you live?" Me: "No, I'm from Iowa, I only work in outer space."

WIN+CTRL+O is an interesting shortcut though it occurs to me that if I can press WIN+CTRL+O what do I need the on-screen keyboard for?

Apparently usage tracking is hard. I use Amazon Prime music almost every day.

Now let's talk about good #UX design. The signage on the Seattle light rail is one of the best examples I've seen of this use case. It clearly indicates the next two stops and even shows you which side of the train the exit will be on when it arrives at the station.

Let's talk bad #UX design. This is an Android system window, the problem with it is there's no escape. You have two choices: Check for updates or force quit the whole app. No back button. No way to do a sequence of things in the app. They've given the user a dead end.

Friends don't let friends use POP3.

Interesting study from lawyers in the UK about #AI usage. Having an AI strategy in your firm isn't optional - your lawyers are going to use AI, strategy or no. And AI is going to force a lot of firms to rethink their billing model. #LegalTech www.lexisnexis.com/community/pr...

This is very sad. I didn't know Pratik but burnout and long hours (perhaps exacerbated by layoffs) is a real issue in the software industry, both at Microsoft and elsewhere. www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/mi...

Have to admit, I've been seeing Dippin Dots everywhere this summer. www.inc.com/hannah-walla...

Tried to take my kids for a ride on the Seattle light rail, but the Sounders are playing tonight and the Lynnwood station has zero parking and dozens of people circling and looking for a spot. Oh well, at least we had a nice drive to get there

It will be interesting to see if/how #AI notebooks catch on. I think we'll see a lot of cool experimentation in the coming months. #Productivity www.ncbar.org/2025/08/26/a...

Either this is a blatant phishing attempt or the Marriott guys need to have a word with their marketing dept.

I have "Flip to shhh" turned on for my phone. When I put it face down it goes to silent mode and only a couple of people can "break through" that do not disturb mode. www.zdnet.com/article/this...

The next evolution of shadow IT is shadow AI. You can't just cover your ears and pretend AI doesn't exist, and apparently even telling your staff not to use it isn't always sufficient. Be the department of how, not the department of no.

I'm a fan of the Google Pixels. Nice phones and, crucially, not full of the crapware that other vendors like Samsung tend to cram into their devices. www.zdnet.com/article/shou...

Decided to take light rail into Seattle today. Lynnwood Transit Center parking 100% full. Only got a spot, as I was giving up, because I lucked into somebody leaving.

Sort of disappointing that the biggest ROI they found was in cost-cutting, not in growth. #AI fortune.com/2025/08/18/m...

"Vibe coding" gone wrong? techcrunch.com/2025/08/13/h... I guess I shouldn't assume but...

Gorgeous. www.roadandtrack.com/news/a656543... I wonder if there could be a market for repurposing old Chevy Bolt/Nissan Leaf bits for "around town" kit cars?

But you didn't learn how to correctly spell "Copilot"? @loryanstrant.com would like a word... :D

Clients are starting to ask firms if they're using #AI to be more efficient (and if not, why not) and expecting to see those efficiencies reflected in their billing. #LegalTech www.businessinsider.com/big-law-top-...

Oh come on, #Copilot.

Ummm, Bing, is there something we need to talk about? 🤨
