What does "AI-native" even mean?

I interviewed at one of these as a 4th year in NYC big law… they’re building their own AI and they want you to use it everyday while working to make it better. You’re supposed to rely on it… My main concern was that the one I interviewed with did flat rate billing instead of hourly, so I was worried they would want you to pound out client work way too fast by relying on the AI. I’m sure it can work and the pay was big law, but I worried about the liability and quality of legal work being pushed out.

I consider myself AI-native but view these firms as mostly low-diligence investor hype and puffery. As someone else noted, it's largely driven by mid-level associates who clearly picked up on AI but don't have real depth of experience and are substituting it with LLMs and blind integration of context data.

Someone on LI posted a few months ago about having them as the other party's counsel and it was about 50% positive and 50% negative.

I think lawyers need to become comfortable with it, but if your main selling point is that you're a solo/small firm with 10 years of cumulative experience trying to do biglaw type work, you are selling a low quality gimmick.

PARTNERS: two questions —1. If you see an associate has really low hours for the month, do you imagine them chillen on a beach somewhere or do you consider they probably spent most of their days sitting in front of the computer being “available”? 2. If you send an associate a random e-mail on a weekend like “Can you pull X and send to Y”, would you get annoyed if they responded saying they weren’t by a comp or would you consider it reasonable that they wouldn’t be by a comp on a weekend?

My partner and I are looking to move from NYC to Dallas in 2022. I’m in big law and he is a public interest lawyer. I can easily transfer within my firm, but he’s having trouble pinning down public interest opportunities in Dallas. It seems like they’re less available than NYC, but also not sure if we just aren’t looking in the right places. He currently does housing work but is passionate about civil rights and public benefits generally. Any tips on how to come by public interest opportunities?

I’m a second year BigLaw associate that pays market. I was offered the position at a modified salary and hourly expectation due to their expected work flow needs.
