I think, without any evidence, that many execs are people who have NEVER dedicated much of their own energy or thought to any creative process. AI is the first time they have ever allowed themselves to think about it, and it’s like giving a 4 year old a blank tablet and a new box of crayons.

There is so much written about this. If tis it’s clear and easily quantifiable - people know. See SSA Retirement benefits and the post office. If it’s ambiguous and hard to measure, almost impossible. See SSA Dib and endangered species act.

I saw that MOTO was the post game meal yesterday. How is that decided? A rotation? A vote? John Schnieder’s whims? What other local places have been enjoyed in the Seahawks locker room?!?

One other example I can share that offers insight into his (and I suspect others) mindset. Before a HUGE game, when visiting my daughter (she was sick, she’s good now, and why we met) he asked her to tell him from what distance he’d make the winning kick. Then he asked her right or left hash.

I actually know a former one! And my answer is I’m not sure. Bottom line for me, I don’t think the average person/fan has one iota of an idea about the mental load of being professional athlete. 100% on, all the time, every moment while at work.
