What’s everyone’s plan for when AI replaces you? I’m going to use my savings to buy a van to drive around until money runs out, then forage for food from dumpsters like a raccoon.

Good news is you'll only need a few weeks of savings to last you the rest of your life.

Will likely be retired well before that happens with enough to leave my kid a sizable inheritance as well and without having to move from my VHCOL area.

Lot of doom and gloom about lawyer jobs being replaced. It will start with the junior associates that have not graduated law school yet, and even that may take some time given how much hallucinating the current “best” paid models are doing now. But maybe it’s different in other practice areas.

If you’re not already dumpster diving for food you’re doing it wrong.

I've got about $2 million in AI stocks, so planning to retire very rich in my late 30s when they kill all the jobs and they're worth $10mm+

Any fishies out there that can share what level of reporting + KPIs you’re providing leadership?

We’ve historically done mass communication through Outlook, so this will be our first time getting insight into staff e-mail + Teams performance.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

I just finished a big jury trial with a senior partner (SP). There were co-parties w/separate counsel. SP mentally checked out, to the point that co-counsel was asking what SP was doing/if SP was okay. I ended up handling most everything. SP did a few parts but went rogue and did things that were offensive/risky/bad for client. It became clear that SP is not performing like SP used to and may be a liability. Do I tell someone at my firm? Don’t want to offend SP or cause drama, but I’m concerned.
