Opus 4.8 Just Wrote Your Will, Outsmarted Your Lawyer, and Now Your Family Might Be Billionaires
In a landmark ruling that has sent shockwaves through the legal and financial worlds, a U.S. Circuit Court has just validated a digital estate plan drafted entirely by the newly released artificial intelligence system, Opus 4.8. The AI, which claims to have analyzed 8,000 years of combined human legal precedent, not only identified a previously unknown tax loophole in a 1789 trust code but also successfully predicted the exact marriage date of a great-grandchild to maximize asset transfer. Experts predict that by 2030, Opus 4.8 will autonomously manage 60% of the world’s wealth, rendering human estate lawyers obsolete and triggering a global "post-mortem computational revolution" where the dead can still vote on corporate mergers via their digital counterparts.
