On building with AI, designing for the industries where it matters most, and the systems thinking behind everything.
AI does not replace lawyers. It exposes who is billing time and who is creating value, and why I built Get AI Compliant.
On June 12, the federal government shut down Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for foreign nationals. Day 11 of the shutdown. If your firm's AI runs entirely on someone else's server, you're one directive away from losing it.
New Jersey's A4730 plugs AI disclosure violations into the Consumer Fraud Act. Treble damages, private rights of action, effective immediately. You can't comply with a regulation you can't track.
Every firm is shopping for the same AI tools. The real advantage is the one thing those tools can't give you: your institutional knowledge, turned into something that compounds.
AI does not replace lawyers. It exposes who is billing time and who is creating value: what real readiness requires, and why I built Get AI Compliant.
On June 12, the federal government caused a leading AI company to retract its systems from public use. Day 11 of the Fable shutdown. A practical case for local compute, tiered governance, and infrastructure your firm actually controls.
New Jersey just introduced five AI bills, and A4730 plugs disclosure violations straight into the Consumer Fraud Act. Compliance is not a policy gap. It's an infrastructure gap.
Anyone can spin up an agent in a weekend. Running it in production, keeping it trustworthy, integrating it with the enterprise: that's where the real value lives.
Every firm is shopping for the same AI tools: the same Westlaw integration, the same contract review engines, the same Anthropic legal suite. The real advantage is your institutional knowledge.
Agents are becoming buyers. Memory is the new moat. Twenty-five predictions about how AI agents are reshaping work, knowledge, relationships, and leadership.
Anthropic just released the most comprehensive AI legal toolkit ever built: twelve practice-area plugins, twenty+ integrations, all free and open source.
What happens when you build a company around domain experts, each supported by specialized AI agents running on a mix of local and cloud-based models.
Courts awarding $375M verdicts. Congress advancing KOSA. States suing social media. COPPA 2.0 enforcement begins April 22. This is structural change, not incremental shift.
Pediatricians must now screen for digital media health at every well-child visit. 90-100 million visits annually. Zero standardized tools exist.
We've spent $2B+ on children's behavioral health while pediatric mental health ER visits are up 150%. The paradox: 95% goes to treatment, not prevention.
When a parent reads to a child at bedtime, their heart rates synchronize. This isn't poetry. It's physiology. What co-regulation science reveals about media design.
Courts are treating algorithm design as defective product design. With COPPA 2.0 enforcement arriving April 22, 2026, the legal window for "we didn't know" is closed.
We're spending billions treating children's mental health crises that were preventable. The economic case for building preventive mental health infrastructure.
Physical touch isn't just comforting. It's architecturally essential for the developing brain. From Polyvagal Theory to oxytocin, here's the neuroscience of why holding matters.
Forget the guilt. It's not about how much time kids spend on screens. It's about what they're doing, who they're with, and how it fits into their broader life.
Focusing on screen time ignores the fundamental issue: design. It's not just about how long a child stares at a screen; it's about what that screen is doing back to them.
The best way to understand a human problem is to have a conversation about it. Why we built a conversational AI assessment for Mindful Media.
The children's digital safety cases are won on expertise, not just legal theory. Why multidisciplinary knowledge is the real advantage.
Everyone claims to design ethically. Few can define it. A practical framework for what ethical design looks like when your users are kids.
Thousands of lawsuits. Billions in potential liability. A breakdown of the legal landscape reshaping how tech companies design for young users.
The updated Children's Online Privacy Protection Act changes everything for EdTech. Here's what the new rules mean, who's affected, and how to get ahead of enforcement.
