And they’re terminally non-equity, so they’re not sharing in any of the upside of this shit. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5869753&forum_id=2:#49906623) |

probably worth a pitch because AI niggers need MONEY |

Date: May 29th, 2026 12:34 PM Author: lfo Fucking savages on XO. They're just going to create a Kirkland-specific wrapper on a third-party platform. They want to have more customization and in-house control over shit. They'll have it trained on more in-house work product. They'll be able to integrate with ediscovery vendors and the like. They'll solve some of the confidentiality concerns. It's not "inventing AI" or some dumb shit. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5869753&forum_id=2:#49906601) |
