Welcome back to Legal Late Night! In this episode, host Jared Correia covers everything from the cutting edge of AI to the absurdity of internet shopping.

First, Jared dives into his monologue on the new wave of AI-enabled web browsers like ChatGPT's Atlas and Perplexity. He explores the massive potential for creating agents across your web-based work, but also warns lawyers about the serious data security risks of exposing client info in an "AI-enabled environment."

Then, we are joined by Ruby Powers, founder of Powers Law Group and Powers Strategy Group. Ruby shares her incredible journey from starting a firm during the Great Recession to owning her own office building (which she calls her "Orchard"). She discusses the chaotic state of immigration law, her new focus on habeas corpus cases, and her strategies for law practice management, including her new book and the "Power Up Your Practice" podcast. She also gives a candid take on why law students and attorneys are still hesitant to adopt AI tools in their daily work.

Finally, stick around for the Counter Program: "Just How Broke Am I?" Jared and Ruby play a game where they guess the prices of the internet's weirdest products, from a toothpick crossbow and a two-person mozzarella costume to a real-life diesel-powered battle robot.
