Thanks for the heads-up on "Cupertino" (ep398, 20:33), @nounishprof! Fictional dramatisation grounded in plausible law-firm behaviour? Right up my alley! Are you a law professor, Prof? Or a lawyer professing in an adjacent domain? I find the lawyer-client relationship endlessly fascinating, particularly its epistemics: legal services as a credence good, the asymmetries of knowledge and authority, and the possibility of redesigning the client:<lawyer> relationship around principles of collaborative dignity and data sovereignty. Here, <lawyer> is really a stand-in for any high-value, high-leverage relationship involving asymmetric expertise. So much of this seems ripe for a fundamental rethink, given how spectacularly generative AI is redrawing these professional landscapes. And we're barely five minutes into this new era!
