As you know, I've been a power user of AI tools at work as a technology lawyer for over 2 years. So there are very few people who use these AI tools as much and as aggressively as I do. And I'm always preaching that you need to rethink the way you work. From the moment you sit down at your desk, you need to say, how should I be doing this work, rather than how did I do it yesterday? I got to tell you, with the new reasoning models that have just come out, with Canvas which has recently been released, with Projects which has recently been released. I have never made such dramatic changes in how I go about my work than I have over these last 2 weeks or so. The game is changing. It's changing fast. You need to get in on it or you're going to be left behind.
