    If you haven’t heard, there’s a new GenAI tool on the block, and the other neighborhood kids aren’t too happy about it.

    Jared’s Xennial Trauma Dump || The Past & Future of Legal Tech

    It was the 80s, man! The Xennial microgeneration (born between 1977 and 1983) is, arguably, the best generation, but growing up in the magical, tech-free 80s wasn’t actually entirely happy-go-lucky. TV and movies of the era loved inflicting psychological scars on children, so Jared takes a therapeutic moment to get all that emotional damage off his chest.   Next—what you’re actually here for—insights on legal technology, conferences, products, and more! Jared welcomes Jobst Elster of InsideLegal to get his take on the latest trends. They discuss technology use in law firms and spend time hashing out why legal tech conferences are still a pretty essential part of tech education and making connections with progressive, reputable vendors.  And, lastly, the Rump Roast! As it turns out, Jobst has a serious barbeque hobby, so, in homage to the name of this segment, he and Jared talk about the literal roasting and smoking of delicious meats. ----- A playlist full of...meat? ----- Jobst Elster is the Head of Content/Legal Marketing Strategy at InsideLegal.com.
