"Associates" are to large firms what paralegals are to everything else. I don't disagree that larger firms are going to cut back on associates, but the reality is that "low level associates at big law firms" is, what, high single digits as far as the legal profession? So cut them in half, watch them all go to smaller firms where they can litigate immediately instead of spending a few years in the bullpen, and nothing has really changed, outside of the big law balance sheet.

This isn't something that's going to just effect big law.

Firms up and down the range are going to see less need to hire new associates and eventually clients are going to prefer firms that are open about passing the "AI savings" onto the customer in the form of lower bills.

I already know a few partners at small/midsize firms that plan on hiring fewer associates that they normally would given their workload because current AI tools are good enough now that they can get a better return on investing in AI tools vs hiring a new law grad.

And it will take some jobs, but the idea that it's going to take high level jobs (attorneys being my personal favorite) anytime soon is hilarious to me.

Experienced and competent attorneys today will use it to be more productive while hiring fewer new attorneys.

AI might be far away from becoming a lawyer, but it's already able to replace what most 1-3 year associates are good for.

As a managing partner, are you more inclined to pay a few grand a year for AI tools, or invest several hundred grand into a fresh associate who you have to train (and there's significant risk that they leave your firm for another once they've been trained up enough to be actually valuable to your firm).


Firms that used to need 10 attorneys for their workload will now only need 6 or 7.



It's going to be weird, because you talk to the upper level partners or managing attorneys and they gush over how much better AI can be over a fresh grad and how they can be so much more productive with AI handling the "grunt work". When you ask them what happens when they and everyone with their experience level retires with no "young" people to replace them (because they were never hired and given the opportunity to gain that experience) they have no answer.

I am not looking to argue about golf here. There are different strategies that fit different skill sets. But sounds like my skill set is different than yours and my game is where it should be at this time.

Yes it easier to hit a green from 150 than 180, but for my game it's just a different club with the same swing.

You just don't understand actual, proper course management.

Also that's nice that you gave yourself PGA tour average chipping in your "short hitter" scenario.

If I hit my drive 250

You realize that a 250 yard drive is a LOT better than the vast majority of golfers, right?

The average 35 year old who can consistently hit it 250 and keep it in play is likely to be a mid-single digit handicap.

Somehow I feel like $260 million is simultaneously a lot but also not a lot. You could wipe that out pretty quick in today's dollars. A couple houses in prime areas, a private plane, some cars, some trips with your whole extended family.

GIR is the biggest indicator for me on how I played that day. I

Yep. Of all the single "counting" stats, this is by miles and miles the most impactful.

The best putter in the world could have a really bad score if they barely hit any greens. A bad putter could put together a career round if they somehow hit 14-15 GIR.

For tee shots, I track the number that leaves me a shot at the green. As others have mentioned, you can be in the fairway and still not have a reasonable chance to hit the green. You can be in the rough and have an "easy" shot at the green.

From there it's all about GIR. If you want to score, you have to hit greens. Chip ins/up and downs are nice and you want to have some reasonable chance to do that when you're off the green, but even the best players in the world, over a large enough sample, are going to lose to a (worse) golfer who is on the green with a putt for birdie.
