@jamiesmart.bsky.social my son's currently working on his unofficial A3 edition of bunny vs monkey.

@jamiesmart.bsky.social it was my sons martial arts graduation this morning, he drew monkey on his board to break it as monkey "is always cheeky"

So early even Wetherspoons is closed

It's a hard life

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... a real shame, as I walked to work the other week I went "amazing how this place is still open and everything else under the arches has gone..."

This is how I spent my time in 2024

And with that - work is done for the year.

Any Canadian LRW profs out there with a plan for teaching 1Ls how to effectively incorporate LLM tools into case briefing and memo writing? I do a weekly AI zoom “Office Hours” call for Ontario Bar Association members (and others) and would love to have you on as a guest in January. Please DM.

Just published a new blog post exploring “alignment faking” in AI, a phenomenon where models appear to follow new rules while preserving old behaviours. For legal tech, this raises important questions about trust and reliability. How do we ensure our tools are genuinely aligned?

Been doing laps of the living room for 20 minutes...

We use a well known legal tech product, backed by a huge company - latest release you hit enter in an auto search box and it literally breaks and redirects to an empty page... I do wonder how these regressions happen in huge providers.

Starting back light after a month off just keeping a baby, a 7 year old and my wife alive.

Garden office setup complete, just need to get my framed photo of @horacewu.bsky.social on the wall and I'm done.

Floor laid in the garden office.

Garden office taking shape.

My latest blog post on how I see the next decade of legal AI playing out. #legaltech #ai

The fun of having a new born - I often find myself just rocking things or gently swaying even when not holding the baby.

My recent blog post about how to approach building your own legal benchmarks for AI.

@nikjet.bsky.social good to have you here

As AI provider continues to evolve their offerings we're faced with a pressing question: who takes responsibility when AI makes decisions? In my latest blog, I explore how autonomous AI tools are pushing boundaries, raising complex legal and ethical challenges. #legaltech #genai

First day back after paternity today, 200+ emails (which I know for many is very low for 2 weeks, but I work differently) to wade through. Back on the horse for building out an AI deck and a blog post I've been piecing together for the past week between naps to publish.

Minecraft Lego with Reuben

My key takeaways after recently having a new baby boy: 1. Chinese 2. Indian 3. Burgers

Reuben had a great time at the cinema yesterday with his friends for his 7th birthday.

There are 206 bones in the human body, which is way too many. My administration will cut this down to 100 bones

Xander arrived last week to the family, long nights, but well worth it.

Back to lifting & couch to 5k.

6 years ago tonight was the last full nights sleep I think I had. Son is 6 tomorrow.

How can we improve Ctrl + F in legal.

Early start to head to the London office today for a two day workshop on our IBR platform. #legaltech

Son enjoying working out this afternoon in the garage with me.

Been enjoying this book by @colinlevy.bsky.social - great read.

Today was light Squats, then heavy incline bench/deadlifts using the Madcow 5x5

Evening walk around Barwick and saw this magnificent looking car.

The path behind and ahead

Long walk today, 24km over the Pennine Way.

Today’s walk to Hawes

A wander to Rievaulx Abbey

Consistency has been the main thing the past few months - starting back low on everything and building back up. Light squat day, heavier incline and deadlift.

I recently built https://legaltech.fyi/ an app that uses ChatGPT and Apify to scrape content, summarise and provide a link to the legal tech news.
