As somebody completely ignorant of the inner workings of the legal trade, can somebody explain what this means? Does this mean a group of informed humans reviewed 30k docs? Does this mean 30k docs were grep’d for keywords? Somewhere in between?
- chatmasta 3y agoIANAL but I'm guessing it means they loaded 30k documents into an e-discovery system and performed at least one search over the entire index of documents.
- echelon 3y agoIt means it cost OpenAI a lot in legal fees to keep Altman in power. With all of this boardroom drama, no wonder Microsoft is starting to diversify its AI investments.
- cyanydeez 3y agoit's likely it's diversifying hardware because of Nvidia. these things must be worse than crypto

- layer8 3y agoIt means they billed a lot of hours.
- Aloisius 3y agoThey likely had a few document review attorneys do a first pass review for relevance through all 30,000 documents (a "document" can be a short email). A reviewer can do somewhere from 50-70 documents/hour. Then attorneys do a second pass review on the much smaller set of relevant documents. Reviewing 30,000 documents is a relatively small project.
- ruraljuror 3y agoThis. Attorneys are sorting through documents, highlighting relevant parts, providing summaries. There is a subplot in Better Call Saul where Kim is punished by being assigned to days of doc review. Briefly shown in this clip: https://youtu.be/9uQQvnrQZz0?si=WwDN4-Yh7UJ2a0MH https://youtu.be/9uQQvnrQZz0?si=WwDN4-Yh7UJ2a0MH > reviewer can do somewhere from 50-70 documents/hour Back of the envelope calculations using your numbers and assuming an hourly rate of between $250-$400 shows this doc review costing between $100k-$200k. Seems like a sane estimate to me.

At least in some cases, that means they paid a bunch of law grads from low-tier schools much less than you'd expect to read boring documents all day against some instructions to flag "interesting" things.
- BehindBlueEyes 3y agoFunny to me that they’d pay grad students instead of using AI to summarize.
- tivert 3y ago> Funny to me that they’d pay grad students instead of using AI to summarize. It's not grad students, it's graduates. There is/was an oversupply of law school graduates, so many can't find better legal work than document review (with no chance of advancement). Also, my knowledge of this is somewhat old, so they may use more technology for stuff like this, though I doubt they use much "AI."
