I have a lot of compassion for team employees that lose their jobs. I have friends in the industry too. It happens, and you’re allowed to empathize with your friends.

But if you’re a public-facing journalist or analyst and that skews your reporting or analysis, you are no longer doing your own job.

also our positional labels for the 101 are usually just me going through and going "that sounds right" if I'm being totally honest

in ways that make absolutely no sense if you take 30 seconds to think about them!

a lot of what colloquially is thought of as AI isn't the bad stuff, and a lot of what you don't think of at AI *is* the bad stuff

I don't use generative AI except for occasional specific coding tasks in languages that I don't need to know, and I think it's ruining the world creatively and making everyone dumber. But the environmental moral superiority stuff is doing the shitty politics of personal responsibility crap again

there's a ton of moral superiority over being environmental by "using search engines instead of ChatGPT" except the search engines also have huge horrible environmental footprints and Google in particular is launching an AGI process to literally everything you search for at this point

Lot of dumb discourse is downstream of the marketing decision to label a couple of hundred different computer things as "AI" so that your average goober thinks theyre all one thing

workshopping a take that we should wait until after the postseason to vote for MVPs to avoid giving it to chokers like Judge over clutch guys like Raleigh
