I think this may wind up being one of the areas, like transcription, where AI provides genuine value

My dad does it all the time, and I have told him I think it's weird. But honestly if I thought it would get the words right I'd probably do it

I am dictating this post right now, and frankly, I can't tell if this sounds like something I would be typing or not. There's a bit of a Steve Buscemi "how do you do, fellow kids" type of thing going on here. But it got the quotation marks! Pretty impressive!

Also such a key point. Some of the world's richest and most educated people hack out emails all the time that say "yes please get dog. need walk. tell Bruce dryclean. thankyou. -J"

Putting aside all the horrible shit in them: I cannot believe the global elite composes emails like fucking horses who somehow learned to crudely type. My emails read like Shakespeare compared to the lowercased, unpunctuated screeds written to the worlds biggest pedophile. Fucking write like adults!

Not that I was born yesterday and think he's the only reporter to be a little scuzzy to get a bad person to get them to talk, but appointing himself PR adviser to the world's most notorious pedophile is unbelievable

sure but you also cannot go into debt to a regulated sportsbook in the first place, rendering the need for leg-breakers moot.

(yes you can go into debt to a credit card company, which is why the books shouldn't be allowed to take CC deposits)

an underrated part of this story is that Emmanuel Clase is so good that there's very scant evidence that his intentional balls even mattered lol

it's really an error on the part of the gamblers to not call this off when they see pages is up first in the inning

well, you can listen and judge for yourself, or you can pontificate in these replies without listening
