Approximately 20 min after Bettor-1 lost the wager on May 28, 2025, Bettor-1 sent a text message - a .gif image of a man hanging himself with toilet paper. Even though the Cleveland Guardians won the game, approximately 10 min later, Clase responded with a .gif image of a sad puppy dog face.
I chose to go a little light on the actual details of the indictment, mostly because @baumann.bsky.social already did an excellent job on that front last night. I encourage you to read his piece if you want to get into the nitty-gritty.
Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz Face Federal Indictment
MLB can’t countenance the kind of behavior alleged — players rigging bets, and arranging to do so from the ballpark during games — and survive.

I think there should have been a cheaper way to remove the rumor that he brought 12 red apples to a spurs team dinner and ate them with a knife and fork from the first page of Google 🤷♂️

Last weekend's Portland Adult Soapbox Derby was—in its 26th year—weirder and wilder than ever. In this photo essay, @corbinsmith.bsky.social talks to the creators, drivers, and organizers of this beloved event that is SO VERY PORTLAND. ❤️🏁🏎️

Friday after work, my brain is melted and I was just thinking "I sometimes post something on Fridays" - but I completely forgot what it was. Luckily @damonagnos.bsky.social did the unrepost/ repost thing

Apparently, Google AI hallucinated that Luka had a 42-inch vertical, and it made its way into that Men's Health feature yesterday. So I went ahead and hallucinated about the time Luka won the dunk contest. Not going to let an LLM take my job without a fight.
NBA Hallucinations: When Luka Dončić won the Slam Dunk Contest
An AI model hallucinated that Luka Dončić had a 42-inch vertical leap. A human hallucinated that he used to win the most iconic Slam Dunk Contest ever.

Having "AI" constantly shoved in your face is so tedious.
I accidentally used Bing to search something and instead of getting an instant response I got the "AI" response after 10 seconds - and it wasn't what I was looking for!

The „maybe we should call it 4“ part is underrated. Seems like your company’s thought process on versioning is really thorough and not simply a publicity thing.
