    Worth $15 billion and $8 billion, respectively, #Harvey and #Legora have come to dominate the legal corner of the AI universe, with all of #Australia’s top eight #LawFirms subscribing to one or both.

    Mike was built as a direct challenge to their iron grip, according to its founder #WilliamChen, a former #JuniorLawyer at top-ranked US law firm Latham & Watkins, who used existing #AITools to #VibeCode” his new app.”

    Cheap to use. No maintenance, support, documentation or verification that it works. Law is by definition cautious and regressive. Some law firm will try it, fail and be pushed out of an Industry where reputation to win comes before price.

  14. I've finally done it! My Grand Unified Theory of IT is complete thanks to ! It's actually not that complicated! I call it, "The Zero-Consequence Model":

    By inserting AI into everything, when something goes wrong, it's not your fault! It's the AI that caused it; the model's at fault, not you 👍

    It's the perfect way to run an IT organization! What could possibly go wrong‽

  24. This won't be the end of this controversy, but a California court did not dismiss claims against Bain Capital over the PowerSchool data breach. In considering the timeline and the private equity firm's actions before and after its acquisition of PowerSchool in 2024, the court noted, in part:

    "Post-closing, Bain directed PowerSchool to offshore cybersecurity, engineering, and IT functions to contractors, including offshoring required data-management tools that enabled vendors to bypass consent protocols and access protected school district computers directly.

    Bain failed to assess data-breach risks from the offshoring it directed.

    Post-closing, Bain directed layoffs of at least 5% of PowerSchool’s workforce, including critical domestic IT staff."
