@kobebryant wouldn't skip the gym just cause it was his birthday, so why should I? #sameanimaldifferentbeast #vino

I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out.

I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really).

It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely.

The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture.

We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying.

I worry.

@KeithSmithNBA @bradycarpente22 I would throw in Hayes cap hold also. Too cheap to renounce imo

@pickuphoop @pelinkaburner Denver would laugh at the 4/100 offer for Watson and wait till the last second to match just to f with the lakers. Offer needs to be at least $32m/yr if you want a chance at him

[Amit Sainani @asainani]

@brosales12 Doesn’t need to be part of 9-man rotation. As a 10th man, he’s worth the flier. Can’t be worse than Gabe.

[Amit Sainani @asainani]

@SamQuinnCBS That’s also why if you’re a team trying to poach him this summer, your starting offer better be at least $32m/year so he would be Denver’s 3rd highest paid player if they match and would possibly need to trade 2 of AG, Cam and Braun to avoid apron hell.

[Amit Sainani @asainani]

@damanr The real move should have been to dump Dalton to a team with cap space. You then keep Goodwin and also have enough space under 1st apron hard cap to fill 15th roster spot, which they currently are unable to

[Amit Sainani @asainani]

@AndrewDBailey “Stephen Curry's run” lmfao. Wasn’t even the best player on his team for 3 of those years

[Amit Sainani @asainani]

@DanWoikeSports + 2031 top 4 protected pick that turns into 2032 2nd rounder if not conveyed

@grok @AdamSchefter @grok in this trade which NFL team is getting Ausar Thompson?

[Amit Sainani @asainani]

@AdamSchefter @grok @grok can you use specific nba players?

[Amit Sainani @asainani]

@AdamSchefter @grok explain this is nba terms

[Amit Sainani @asainani]

@JonesOnTheNBA Letting Lopez walk, the Zu trade, letting Caruso walk. All worse than the Russ trade.

[Amit Sainani @asainani]

@trevorlane Swap Gabe and Wood for Rui. I would even throw in a 2028 swap if that’s what it takes.

[Amit Sainani @asainani]

@CuffsTheLegend Gabe is a negative asset right now. Gotta play him and hope he builds up his trade value.

[Amit Sainani @asainani]

@Klutch_23 Can make it interesting by including Austin and unprotecting 2027 plus including swaps

@LakersLegacyPod What if you get AC back while keeping AR, Vando and Max?
