Practical Use Controls and DC Ethics Opinion 388

Jared Correia and special guest Kristin Kenzy, the voice behind Drunk Business Advice, are here to discuss everything from AI vetting to celebrity drinking stories.

First, Jared shares his monologue answering a crucial question: "How do law firms vet AI tools?" He breaks down a three-part strategy, covering data security, AI-specific risks, and practical usage, and references helpful ethics opinions like DC's Opinion 388. Jared also bluntly notes that lawyers shouldn't worry about hallucinations, as they should be checking AI output anyway.

Then, Kristin Kenzy explains the origin of her Drunk Business Advice brand. She tells the story of her career change from commercial real estate, where she learned that success is often based on "mistake-driven lessons" and being willing to talk about your "f***ups." She also shares a bizarre story of a suburban neighbor trying to recruit her into a sex toy pyramid scheme.

Finally, stick around for our Counter Program segment, "Drunken Shenanigans Advice." Kristin is tested on her knowledge of celebrity drinking stories, including Jennifer Lawrence puking on Madonna's porch and Robert Downey Jr. passing out naked in a neighbor's bed. She even gets a bonus question about which band was named after a "steam-powered dildo."
