Justin, saying that AI replaces cognition is exactly congruent to saying that Ponzi schemes replace mutual funds. Convincing simulacra that appear to be doing impossible things are not replacing anything except other grifts. As labor saving tech they’re more mechanical turk than spinning jenny.

Clearly the players who play the sports we love to watch hate gambling; think it's ruining the game. The only people who want it are networks and the league. I think it's important to remember that. Whenever you fire up the gambling app, you're fucking with the people you love to watch every week
