Back in 2011 we wrote that Google is not a substitute for thinking, after Google Chairman Eric Schmidt said in an interview that Google aims to “compute the right answer” to questions typed in by users rather than just provide links. Now 14 years later, instead of giving you links at the top of a […]
I do some of my most satisfying work in the area of divorce. People (usually women) are often afraid as they navigate what for many of them is the worst thing that’s ever happened to them. In a contested divorce, not only are they battling the person they once loved and trusted, but the future […]
Would you want someone working for you who regularly hallucinates on the job? If I ran an ad agency, I might want such a person. Maybe he could dream up a series of ads in which a guy and an emu run around telling people about insurance. But if you are lawyer, do you want […]
Clients usually ask me three questions about a divorce asset search: “What do you need from me to get started?” “What can you find?” This is often followed with, “I really want bank and brokerage accounts.” “How long does it take?” Here is what I tell them: What do I need? Give me as much […]
There is no shortage of outrage in the world. I suspect it’s always been like this, but it was harder to share it with everyone else before most of us started making instant movies of our lives, to be distributed to millions for almost no money. Many of us have causes dear to our hearts […]

A great piece by Ted Gioia https://lnkd.in/eQxZ5yJ7 about the dangers of looking backward only. This is what AI does, and if you’re not careful, living only by algorithms can plunge you into a doom loop. I’ve written consistently that generative hashtag#AI doesn’t do me much good with most investigations, because most people have not been […]
People from outside the United States sometimes think they understand the country better than they do. That’s natural, because America’s entertainment industry blasts depictions of U.S. life out to just about every other country’s television, film and music video audiences. But there is one aspect of American life that many investors, including many from Europe […]
Sometimes in business, there is a tendency to act now before an opportunity passes you by. Hire the candidate before they get away; commit $2 million to the syndicate by Friday or lose the deal.
