Also, can we just say the quiet part out loud? American teams don’t want to play in the summer anymore because it’s too hot because climate change.

Agree - it's not a logistics question, but it is a values question. MLS is obsessed with Miami and LA and all other teams exist just to give those two some foils. They don't really care about Canada, any of the northern fanbase, or building grassroots interest in the sport.

For what it's worth, this review doesn't describe my experience at all. I thought it was a stunning and faithful (yet updated) expression of the novel. Where you saw "plodding", I saw "gothic".

I'm just sad they aren't ending the tour in Saskatoon. That seems like such a missed opportunity.

- What if the board members are wrong? Just because they want AI productivity gains doesn’t mean those gains exist.
- What if the AI “analysts” are wrong? Just because they voted something “better” doesn’t mean it actually was better.

An embarrassment of gaps and assumptions.

- Also, do we even know that boards are necessarily good governors? That’s certainly not an accepted premise in the nonprofit sector
- Why does it matter if the board is trumpeting “AI-based productivity gains”? The CEO should run the company as effectively as possible using the tools s/he chooses

- If 75% of CEOs are afraid they'll lose their jobs if they don't show AI progress, is replacing board members with AI just a hilarious "Fine, I did it" move?

- Is a test group of humans pretending to be a board a suitable proxy for a real-life board of directors?
- How do AI "members" retain and apply accumulated knowledge compared to humans over time?
- How would humans have performed if they received the same level of coaching/ prompting?
