Apparently the proper strategy has yet to shake out.

AI is just starting to change the legal profession
Understanding AI – “How much are lawyers using AI? Official reports vary widely: a Thomson Reuters report found that only 28% of law firms are actively using AI, while Clio’s Legal Trends 2025 reported that 79% of legal professionals use AI in their firms. To learn more, I spoke with 10 lawyers, ranging from junior associates to senior partners at seven of the top 20 Vault law firms. Many told me that firms were adopting AI cautiously and that the industry was still in its early days of AI. The lawyers I interviewed weren’t AI skeptics. They’d tested AI tools, could identify tasks where the technology worked, and often had sharp observations about why their co-workers were slow to adopt. But when I asked about their own habits, a more complicated picture emerged. Even lawyers who understood AI’s value seemed to be leaving gains on the table, sometimes for reasons they’d readily critique in colleagues. One junior associate described the situation well: “The head of my firm said we want to be a fast follower on AI because we can’t afford to be reckless. But I think equating AI adoption with recklessness is a huge mistake. Elite firms cannot afford to view themselves as followers in anything core to their business.”
Obvious? Only if you look.
Trump’s TikTok Deal Is Less About Security, and More About Consolidating Power
Lilian Coral writes:
Following intense government pressure, TikTok has finalized its deal to sell its U.S. operations to an investor group including Oracle, Silver Lake, and MGX. And after a year of deliberate federal efforts to roll back institutional accountability, weaken regulatory enforcement, and evade the rule of law, the sale of TikTok becomes even more consequential. It is not simply a resolution to a long-running policy debate. It is a signal about how power is being reorganized in the digital public sphere and about how easily democratic principles can be traded away under the guise of pragmatism.

But public trust in the new TikTok is questionable at best. Particularly, as the platform’s new terms and conditions show, TikTok is expanding data collection of its users through:
Precise location: Until this update, the app did not collect the precise, GPS-derived location data of U.S. users.
AI interactions: Now, users’ interactions with any of TikTok’s AI tools explicitly fall under data that the service may collect and store. This includes prompts and the AI-generated outputs.
Expanded ads network: Rather than just using your collected data to target you while using the app, your info is used to serve more relevant ads wherever you go online, including other platforms.

PogoWasRight is not a user of TikTok. If you are, please read about the deal at the above source and other sources and then share your opinion: do you think this is a good/smart deal for users or not? Will you continue using TikTok?
An interesting source for all types of intelligence gathering…
