This verges on “Charlie Brown had hoes” as a food take. Many of the world’s greatest dishes are prepared rarely and seasonally for lavish holiday feasts BECAUSE THEY ARE SEASONAL DISHES THAT TAKE DAYS TO PREPARE

"Whichever way you look at it, the potential payoffs of A.I. adoption are staggering — for the economy, for social sectors, and, of course, for investors. That could not be said for the majority of the big historical bubbles, such as the tulip mania of the early 17th century."

I don't generally read a lot of the AI hype/anti-hype cycle stuff, is it all this wild?

If you were raised on 80s sitcoms, this is like some freakish junk-culture Rosetta Stone. There was, for example, a Ferris Bueller TV adaptation, and it starred Jennifer Aniston

I'm surely not over the Jays' loss, but I agree with this pair of sentiments. Particularly how a baseball season like this one with such a bitter end can grow sweeter with time. Like how many viewers of Good Will Hunting realize Matt Damon and Robin Williams are recapping a series the Red Sox lost?

For 10 years my fantasy baseball Slack channel avatar has been the Pirates hat guy who pops up in the crowd in that epic 7th inning of Game 5 of the 2015 ALDS and I respect this effort

I'm sorry @joeposnanski.com, only doing this because I love your work and don't like to see it miss its mark: Nope.
George is nobody's Ringo. In part because he can act better than most athletes and has a great rapport with Vladdy, he's a bigger presence than (for example) introspective Bo

I mean the socials are awash in slop now but this AI genius seems unaware that the peak moment in the past 10 years of Jays history was breaking the Rangers’ souls with a monster home run and the peak moment in Rangers history the past 10 years was one of their guys punching the guy who hit the HR
