Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube? Hulu? Ads followed by more ads. Netflix full of ads. Meta and X, every other thing is an ad. Pinterest is nothing but ads. AI is in everything. AI finishes sentences incorrectly and won’t stop. AI reads your email and search history to target you with more ads. Every time you open an app or visit a site there’s an update making it worse. In a hurry? First, click here to agree to terms you don’t have time to read and must accept. You need an account to do that. Change your temporary password. Enter your 2FA code. Check your email and enter that code. Now use a passkey. Your password is too simple to remember. Change it. No, not like that. Now log on. Enter your 2FA code.

It doesn’t matter, since your boss just replaced you with AI. Go to your phone to complain on social media. Wait, your phone needs an update so we can add more AI. Click here. Oh sorry, your phone can’t handle this update. Now it’s useless. Go get the newest phone. Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area. In your neighborhood. On your street. Two doors down from you. Do you know this person yet, we think you’d get along. You need an account to use this app. That username is taken. Enter a password.

Allow the app to access your contacts, know your precise location, store your credit card details. Oops, sorry, we got hacked now all that info is available on the web. There’s a class action suit. You can join. It’ll take a decade to get your $3.73 share of the ten billion settlement. We’ll send it via PayPal or deposit it to your bank, just tell us those details. Oh no, another hack. That info is circulating now, too. Here’s a spam call, a spam email, a spam text. Why are you angry? Why are you talking about getting rid of your phone? Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

@hosseeb Great post. Real question: is there a way to short crypto gaming?

It's one of the worst market fits I've ever seen and proven time and time again to be something absolutely no one wants.

Google was the latest entity to test out large language models (LLMs) via a poker contest. OpenAI dominated the first trial, matching prior experiments:

@ThomasDrance @RachelKryshak I've always been a fan of the Gold plan but I had a thought this year: Would it completely crush trade deadline as very few teams would be looking to sell?

@ThomasDrance @vancanuckpain I'm curious if the Aves are a good example for the Canucks to follow. Restart the rebuild, essentially. Matt Duchene = Hughes etc. Worked out pretty well for the Aves.

@ThomasDrance You've said it many times over the years but this team just feels like if everything goes right, it might make the playoffs

What a terrible ceiling.

@pokerscoutcom Why the small sample size??

[PokerScout @pokerscoutcom]

We interviewed the director of the new poker movie "Down to the Felt." He discussed his own poker background, the making of the film, and why it ends the way it does (spoilers at the bottom!)

Underground poker in New York City is easy to find, but are the games worth it? Our reporter, Mo (@monuwwarah), made the trip so you don't have to, and gives the experience two thumbs down. Exorbitant rake and not allowed to walk away while ahead? At least there was pizza.
