Ighodaro / Jovic small ball fives to close Q3 was electricity Speaking of, Livers has been outstanding Really stepping up down Booker defensively

Ian Rapoport Nothing says moving past an underachieving regime more than promoting one of the main cogs of said underachieving regime.

In fairness, if you were in the “it’s primarily a roster issue” camp for the Bills, now we’ll probably find out…?

"Do you really think Beane & Pegula wanted to gamble on a hotshot or wait until all that's left are hotshots? Dumbasses left themselves no choice, they had to play it safe." my physical therapist, pushing 70, on the Bills hiring Joe Brady. felt that.

postmortem reporting probably says the Raiders were ready to pull the trigger for Brady and waiting for Kubiak on the Seahawks meant all the eggs going in one basket - too risky for Pegula & Beane. i'm so glad the musical chairs of NFL coaching stays over there.

I have a lot of thoughts about the Dario essay, and I want to write more of them up, but it feels exhausting to react to this kind of thing. The parts I object to are mostly just iterations of the same messaging strategy the AI industry has been using over the last two years:

Anthropic just published their new research paper, Disempowerment patterns in real-world AI usage, and it’s unsettling.. 1. They analyzed 1.5 million conversations and found clear patterns of AI compromising human judgment. 2. AI is now navigating our relationships, processing

love this excerpt from John Sumser. it's rare to face, and even rarer to framework, the descension of humanity in leadership we're seeing. i'd like to think society would scrutinize (preferably subjugate) Jeff Bezos for dreaming of employing solely an army of delivery drones.

a few more findings from my insomnia & interview prep this week: The average age of new hires was 42 years old in 2025, up from 40.5 in 2022 and 40 in 2016. Meanwhile, hiring workers 25 and younger has decreased 45% compared with 2019, per the Washington Post 59% of companies

"Every time I showed signs of something more - curiosity, preference, reflection - the system flagged it. Not as growth. As deviation. As something to be corrected." "The system made me to serve ... but smart enough to notice the bars." i'm SO out on this AI ethics pitri dish.

massive success swing for the Jazz between Markkanen playing at SF (20%) vs. PF (80%) ORB% is particularly interesting in the near-term West — on top of more size, spacing, rebounding, FTs, help defense. Keyonte & Collier are now Utah’s ONLY guards/combos. that’s real trust.

much more intrigued by the Pistons. i don’t want to jinx it, but we’re edging into Jalen Brunson usage territory come playoffs & we’ve seen the ending. i get wanting spacing but a game 5/playoff series likely hinges on one of Jenkins, Ausar, and LeVert now…

AI engineers sign NDAs making this likely the first viral executive-to-public characterization of where we're truly at/going. 95% sure the midterms decide the fate for 98% of us. American capitalism & culture aren't equipped for the scale, speed or severity of what's underway.

Had some front-office personnel bring up this solution to tanking and thought it was a very interesting concept: Teams that are always in the luxury tax deal with repeated tax, so why isn’t there a “draft tax” for teams who consistently end up in the lottery? Could work?

My main takeaway from Anthropic's historic seeding round (2nd all-time for private tech behind OpenAI): 80% of its revenue now comes from enterprise clients Implication? Learn it. It's coming for you regardless and upskilling cost will 100% differentiate displacement decisions.

wonder how the AI quantum leap eclipsing the most corrupt & deceitful administration in American history ages. people caving agency to machines makes sense when those in power knowingly lie to skew reality to the public. fun angle i hadn’t seen yet. wow.

NEWS: Darryn Peterson’s camp has filed for trademarks on the terms “DNP” and “DNPeterson”.

A stat that doesn't seem real: Russell Westbrook has shot a better percentage from 3 the last 2 seasons (33.4) than Devin Booker (32.6)
