I am not Anti AI. I am not Pro AI. My thesis is simple -- Like EVERY technology before it, it will have benefits that will remove friction, and when you remove friction, your skills atrophy. And we can't let that happen. We have to supplement the skills people will lose.

I am so proud to see that 90 percent of Pelicans fans are realists. The delusional side of this fan base are all but dead. Victory!

I hate that he is associated with the team now in Charlotte. He, along with LJ, Alonzo, Rice, Mashburn and countless others belong to the franchise now in New Orleans People have deemed the wrong ship, the Ship of Theseus

I want you to read this sentence. REALLY read it. Anybody with basic comprehension skills can see that it says nothing. Absolutely nothing. And yet, it will morph into "Herb is on the trade block. OKC going after him." I long for a time before all of this. Blow up the satellites. Please!

I remember when trade rumors were based on reporters diving in and getting intel from FO sources. Now, a simple video of two men talking is enough to flame the fires. I long for the good ole days

In Something's Off, you look at a kitchen and then try to spot the tiny thing that changed. Five rounds, about a minute. If your day has involved having AI tell you what to notice, here is a small chance to do the noticing yourself. thequietcost.app

Imagine if the Atlanta G League team was in the Finals. Should the Hawks have to move a game for them? And before you say “that’s not the same”, you are right. A G League team would beat a WNBA finals team by a hundred

And the only other win, was the Pacers beating the winless Nets. So, to summarize, not only are the Pelicans 0-3 but their losses came to teams playing poorly, who can only beat winless teams.

The three teams that the Pelicans lost to this season are 1-7 in their other games that did not include New Orleans, with a -12.1 differential

If you REALLY care about these guys, you’d want them all to get away from New Orleans Look at how much their lives improve once they get away from this franchise. They get paid, they get respect, they get titles. If you care, let them fly away

“An unfinished answer can tell a teacher where to begin. A wrong calculation can reveal a misunderstanding that would otherwise go unnoticed.” From The Quiet Cost, Chapter 7 thequietcost.ai

Black Box changes a set of symbols using a rule you cannot see. You get to run tests until you think you have it figured out. I wanted a puzzle where you get the pleasure of working out the explanation before AI gives you one. thequietcost.app

Someone offers you two million dollars if you hit the right side of this bet, are you taking the over or the under: Pelicans playoff series wins in the next 5 seasons: 0.5

This is my favorite game. I used to be a waiter and this gives me flashbacks Try it and let me know how you do

Think you could take a table's order without writing anything down? In the Reckonings memory game, you also have to bring the food to the right people and split the bill. Try a four-top before getting too confident about the six. thequietcost.app

“If there is a part of the task I still need to be able to do when the system fails, I should give myself some practice doing that part before I ask for help.” From The Quiet Cost, Chapter 6 thequietcost.ai

I couldn’t care less about the Pelicans. I really couldn’t But I am OBSESSED with the Stockholm Syndrome of New Orleans fans How you allow an abuser who doesn’t care about you at all to still affect you. And for you to keep coming back for more. I am FANS of YOU!

When the timeline says it is foolish to panic, because the Knicks are 0-3 too…

Life comes at you fast.
