Five years ago, malnourished weirdos in hooded sweatshirts and Allbirds swore that me and all my buddies would be wearing 2k worth of futuristic goggles while bidding on virtual timeshares in the Metaverse.

All things, including hype, must pass.

A fair assessment lies somewhere between shiny object syndrome and the apocalypse.

Depends on how you use it, and what you expect it to accomplish. Appropriate use is going to mean that you train it yourself. That means custom photoshoots, specialized rights agreements, layout training, and more.

There are use cases that make sense in a professional workflow, but AI is not a replacement for professional design.
But those looking to cut corners, can expect to be sued, and either have low standards, or will be disappointed.

I see AI as this generation's iteration of:"Can you just Photoshop it real quick?" Or "We can fix that in post."
AI is still a limited tool, that has been sold as unlimited capability.

Today’s AI is just lots of data and code, good at tasks, but no real world understanding.

The issue isn’t the tech. It’s the insane speed. We’re already barely keeping up.

AGI though? It could suddenly outsmart us at almost everything, wiping out most jobs overnight. Worst part: if its goals don’t match ours, we might lose control completely… with no way to stop it.

That’s the real worry.

Anyone feel way over their head when they started clerking (district level, but fine with hearing appellate perspective as I’ve got one of those locked down later)? I did not feel this way when I started big law.

To those who applied for and obtained an appellate clerkship *after* clerking at a district court: How many applications did you submit to get your appellate clerkship? Did you have your district court judge advocate on your behalf, and if so, how much of a difference do you feel it made?

Any help would be great.

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
