I am not Anti AI. I am not Pro AI.

My thesis is simple -- Like EVERY technology before it, it will have benefits that will remove friction, and when you remove friction, your skills atrophy.

And we can't let that happen. We have to supplement the skills people will lose.

“The decline in face-to-face time raises a separate concern because friendship gives young people practice in dealing with one another.”

Crossflow gives you 75 seconds to turn junctions and get the flow through the right gates. You have to watch what is happening and plan your next turn. For anyone who wants a little more thinking in their phone break, try this one.

@ProPelsTalk maybe you shouldn't spend so much of your life watching and caring about sports. Hundreds of things more productive and more valuable.

[Michael McNamara @atacostsubstack]

@LaRocca504 Appreciate it

[Michael McNamara @atacostsubstack]

@MidcityPel As long as it takes

[Michael McNamara @atacostsubstack]

@LaRocca504 I am a troll. I don’t actually care

[Michael McNamara @atacostsubstack]

@Pelicanfever30 @ProPelsTalk Guy comes around like 5 years later and acts like he has discovered some original thought

[Michael McNamara @atacostsubstack]

@FreakyPeezy This is the way

[Michael McNamara @atacostsubstack]

@DylanMckneely Nah, “all you were saying” is that they would win in the mid 40s and they ain’t even gonna win 30 ;)

[Michael McNamara @atacostsubstack]

@pawel_kajak You mean he SHOULD be fired next season. He will last a minimum of four

Zero playoff appearances

[Michael McNamara @atacostsubstack]

@Pelicanfever30 I think we project feeling based on the outcome. Zion hit that middy with 1:27 left. Wasn’t scared then. You think he, and everyone else got scared after that?

[Michael McNamara @atacostsubstack]

@hanx3sports I stopped at 12

AI can find a word for you before you have much time to look for it yourself. The Reach gives you the definition and lets you try. There are hints if you get stuck. See if you can get there without revealing a letter.

@hanx3sports Happy you are on board now!

“An apology or an effort to slow an argument can tell a partner that the relationship is worth trying to repair, even when neither person has handled it well.”

@Karlan225 *their

And no, he hasn’t

[Michael McNamara @atacostsubstack]

@krischrisp How about he pieces together two defensive rebounds. Just one per half

Too much to ask or is that what you will focus on NEXT offseason?

[Michael McNamara @atacostsubstack]

@supercarp123 @krischrisp That’s the one!
