After the breakup of the USSR, the Lithuanian basketball team faced financial challenges, preventing their participation in the 1992 Olympics. In a heartwarming turn of events, the Grateful Dead stepped in, funding the team's expenses and sending a box of tie-dyed outfits in Lithuania's national colors. Their collective efforts paid off as the Lithuanian team went on to win a bronze medal.

Lithuania, now an independent but financially struggling nation, had no means to support a national basketball team as they emerged from the collapse of the communist empire. The looming 1992 Olympics in Barcelona left the players eager but desperate to make the journey.

Donnie Nelson, the assistant coach of the Golden State Warriors and a friend of Lithuania from his scouting and clinic days there, undertook a grassroots fundraising effort in the Bay area. He was the one who later secured a 3-year contract with Golden State for Marciulionis, one of the Lithuanian players.

Their modest fundraising efforts received a significant boost when a local sports writer, George Shirk, published an article in the San Francisco Chronicle, highlighting their dire situation. The piece caught the attention of the Grateful Dead's public relations manager, Dennis McNally, who shared it with the band members.

Gerry Garcia, Bob Weir, and the rest of the band were moved by Lithuania's struggle, aligning with their values of freedom and celebration. The Grateful Dead not only provided a substantial financial contribution but also sent a box of tie-dyed T-shirts in Lithuania's national colors – red, yellow, and green. The shirts featured an image of a skeleton dunking a basketball.

In Barcelona, the Lithuanian team played with immense pride, representing their flag for the first time in over 50 years. They reached the quarter-finals and defeated Brazil 114-96 but fell to the Americans 127-76 in the semi-finals.

The scary thing about the speed at which AI is evolving is that it isn't yet mainly evolving itself. The current rate of progress is still driven mainly by improvements in hardware and in code written by human programmers.
