We've all made bad choices after a 6-hr plane delay. Eating too many Auntie Anne's, releasing your franchise legend, etc
Chris Haynes: "Sources: Clippers were stuck at Miami airport yesterday for nearly 6 hours due to mechanical issues, which significantly delayed team’s arrival to ATL. A long travel day following another bad loss ended with teammates finding out in middle of night of Chris Paul’s departure."

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

It’s officially Opening Day in the NBA.
If I may have one tiny request this season, please try to enjoy the basketball.
Don’t break your brain trying to analyze every last detail.
We live in a world that can suck joy away like a Dyson.
So this year, when watching the NBA.
Just. Have. Fun.

On the left is a map of deterministic model tracks for Imelda from 2 days ago. If you mostly look at deterministic models, you would’ve been nearly convinced a landfall is happening.
On the right is the latest forecast. There is a valuable lesson here for being cautious with interpreting models.
