NBA's rule change last season to not count last second heaves as missed FGs for players had a big effect on their behavior.

A new research paper by 2 Texas Tech professors, James W. Kemper & Noah Liptack, found players took that shot 94% of the time last season after taking it 58% in the decade prior.

The paper said the most reluctance to shoot, before the rule change, was "concentrated among efficient shooters and players in contract years."

Thread: how I think about the growth of AI capabilities and what it means for us as they keep getting stronger.

I think the right model for comparing humans and AI is not any single dimension like intelligence or aggregate performance on economic tasks. Rather, I view both humans and machines as having a whole range of capabilities. This includes both physical (eg. doing things with our hands, walking) and mental (eg. strategic thinking, mental math, emotional intelligence).

For most of human history, machines have only exceeded us in very few areas, eg. a strong early example is water and windmills. So we can look at the situation in 1500 like this:
