@markwatson @TechCrunch Thanks. We've corrected that.

[Ron Miller @ron_miller]

@lindhartsen @alex You are correct. I've removed the reference and left a note regarding the correction. Thanks for the careful read.

Just surfacing briefly to say, I will be stepping away from this platform for the time being. You can find me any of these places:

Surfacing briefly from my imposed Twitter silence because this is important.

If every journalist who tweets about Elon Musk today also tweets about the PRESS Act — which would stop the government from spying on or subpoenaing journalists forever — we can get this thing passed no problem. https://t.co/jCH3QPUXMF

FLIGHT 👏 INFO 👏 IS 👏 NOT 👏 DOXXING 👏

[Ron Miller @ron_miller]

This platform has become completely untenable. See you on Mastadon.

[TechCrunch @TechCrunch]

Twitter just banned a wave of prominent journalists with no explanation https://t.co/QpWIUXWAgx

@AndiMann In line with my findings in this piece:

@aw_bdg Absolutely and I think it has potential, especially the ability to interact with it and refine your queries on the fly. It's really remarkable that way.

[Ron Miller @ron_miller]

@aw_bdg I'm not saying it doesn't have utility or won't have more at some point, but if you ask it pointed questions at this stage that are easy for a search engine to answer it can't answer them. It took me awhile to figure that out and frame queries in a way that make sense to it.

@smarshxo @Musket_Fire But he needs to learn how to hold the football properly first or he won't last two weeks.

[Ron Miller @ron_miller]

It's not a search tool. If you ask for specific information like, "When was the last time the Red Sox won the World Series, ChatGPT can't answer. Google can. Google vs. ChatGPT: Here's what happened when I swapped services for a day https://t.co/gW0JT5o2Ya

[Ron Miller @ron_miller]

@DaveMacLachlan1 @purplehayz Just one? If I had to choose just one, 'Wish you were here' or 'Time.' But which shows I can't just choose one.

Translation: They have no talent judgement and they quickly overpaid and we're thrilled to take their money for the next five years while underperforming.

Boras: “The demand for the player was equivalent to the start of a race. … We had to create a ZBO — a Zoom buyout. … Chaim and his group were really aligned with us.”

[Ron Miller @ron_miller]

@jcmccaffrey Like JD Drew. Another outfielder the Red Sox overpaid for.

[Ron Miller @ron_miller]

@danprimack Pretty tough one to resist there, Dan.

[Ron Miller @ron_miller]

This front office really knows how to evaluate talent, doesn't it?

[Ian Browne @IanMBrowne]

Jeter Downs, once the centerpiece or so it seemed in the Mookie Betts trade, designated for assignment to make room for Masato Yoshida. Hit sub .200 two years in a row at Triple A.

[Ron Miller @ron_miller]

@IsForAt @PatrickMoorhead How about when your furniture gets dropped off the back off a truck into the driveway because they didn't deliver it right, then they take two weeks to send a replacement part for the part that broke and won't send it overnight and lie to you repeatedly on the phone about it.

[Ron Miller @ron_miller]

I've often complained on this platform about terrible customer service, and one thing I've noted as this year has gone on, and the economic uncertainty has grown, is that customer service has gotten so much worse. If there's one place you shouldn't be cutting back, it's that.

Experimenting with asking ChatGPT to write song lyrics this morning and lyricists should not be threatened, let's put it that way.

[Ron Miller @ron_miller]

Fed attempts to slow economy, slows economy as planned and Wall St panics because Fed is following the plan (and would be even more upset if it didn't because that would mean it wasn't trying to control inflation).

[CNBC @CNBC]

Dow falls 400 points, declining for a second day on fears the Fed is sending economy into a recession https://t.co/Lh3c9CXnkQ
