Why do workers have to wait for 2-4 weeks to be paid, in the same economy where online transactions go quickly and securely?
A new draft πππ¦πππ¦-forthcoming @WashULaw-proposes that they shouldn't.
Daily, or at least weekly, pay can be a reality.

The a-corp becoming a reality is the largest event in corporate law of the last decades. I hope to see more corporate law folks and economists join the conversation. We have some things in the pipeline. Stay tuned!

Yuval Noah Harrari takes issue with the a-corps.
I hope to have a fuller response, but he had not considered many of the benefits, some of them will actually reduce the risk of the things he is worried about

Milei is now pitching "a-corps"! A quick explainer:
AI agents are quietly starting to run (in) the economy.
And like your mom warned about kids running w/ scissors: it's all fun and games until someone runs a billion-dollar scam on the elderly.

Can you sign a multimillion-dollar deal by telex?
@HoffProf goes fossil-hunting on his Substack, exploring a puzzle in dealmaking.
He's testing the Gulati/Scott/Choi theory that obsolete terms get fossilized in contracts.
He brings really vivid evidence: M&A agreements in 2025 still list telex and telegram

Contracts have a backward-compatibility problem, just like code, and there's a lot of legacy clauses still left in.
And it's not like drafters don't care about what they write. They do adapt to email and even DocuSign. So there's a real puzzle here

My pre-registered prediction of this outcome was: 85%. AI is an amazing tool for pedagogy, and many educators not just "sleep on it" but actively resist it, Berkeley Law style

Thanks @suno for bringing my daughter's poem to life.

This news from Kirkland along with the Harvey legal agent benchmark this week raises a big question: will the next major improvements in legally useful AI come from law-specific model building, or from improvements in general-purpose foundation models? π§΅
Kirkland & Ellis, the world's highest-grossing law firm, is setting aside $500M to build its own AI platform rather than rely on tools available to its rivals (Financial Times)

FWIW, law firms are not start up hubs, much less AI labs, and -- for certain values of 'ai technology' -- this will end badly.
There are ways to make these things work, but they all involve getting as far away from the foundational model layer as possible
