Seattle’s closer Andrés Muñoz is a super cat dad. His girl is Matilda and has her own IG account.

In this case, it fits fine with the title character, but two different bands, uh, -demonstrating- two different songs, one of which is the show's theme song, in their entirety is just a waste of time

When I saw all those “zomg blizzzard on Everest traps 1000 climbers desperate rescue ZOMG” headlines I was like “uh, it’s October, not May? Whuuh?”
If you, like me, thought that was odd — here ya go:

Oh, and because everyone in the league uses the same site format, all the individual team sites' search and tagging are TRAAAAAAASH

in conclusion, have your AI find articles written by humans, not articles written by AI found by nobody

Prairie Rose Clayton @hooverdam.bsky.social · 1d

Autotagging's not outstanding, but when your site is all short pieces about easily disambiguated topics, it's exactly what you want to sort out a backlog. Subsequently, it's not that hard to recalibrate search results for relevance when you have RELEVANT TAGS.

Tying it to my line of work: MLS -isn't- using AI where they need to, which is search and tagging. Their search results are a disaster and the tagging system is only the barest minimum. (Go ahead, look up "US Open Cup" on the site, see what happens).

As someone whose time freelancing for MLSsoccer was a vital step in my career progression, and someone who generally gleans insight from the observations of others:

This sucks so hard.

MLS is using generative AI to write match recaps. Writers used to get paid freelance rates to do that. Hssssss.

when I first moved up here the idea that it was a real holiday was weird; growing up the only reason we knew there was something was there was no mail

Figure Indigenous People's Day/ Dia de la Raza is a better idea

Hah, I had no idea handing out Airheads was big with my fellow Massholes. (They're cheap even for boxes of full size ones, pretty allergy safe, and the kids in my neighborhood can't get enough).
