The need isn’t to cook a great pot of beans… it’s to try and get some sense of validation (and status) from relative strangers.
Working with an LLM to earn some virtual ego boosts shows where we are all too well.

Yes!!!
Upon further reflection… it’s wild that they are posting this to a FB Group (chasing status / ego)?
On paper… that Group = a “group chat” to talk cooking beans… you don’t need an LLM to simulate the convo!
But in reality… instant feedback / gratification is the actual desire

It does feel like (similar to vibe coding tbh) this simulation or play at recipe development provides a sense of (shallow) authorship and a small jolt of creativity vs just reading recipes and taking bits and bobs from them.
I don’t see this going away - I see it intensifying sadly

We’re up to a couple out in Andersonville - just saw a little one being pulled on a tiny sled. Vibes are good.

This is partially why I am excited about this years all-star game (Ryder Cup style, two USA teams & one world team)
Wemby, Jokic, and Giannis all playing together is the dream of the friendly monstars

incoming new parent here as well... one thing this reminds me of is learning more about paced bottle feeding...
like no sh*t if you just tilt food down the baby's throat, you're teaching the kiddo to just receive vs being conscious and active in feeding.

Darnold + tight ends helping out + an elite interior lineman + an elite breakout WR = magic
Love this new format and can’t wait for the next one (maybe about how Baker’s increased scrambling is actually a sign of his growth not his impetuousness 🙏 lol)

Follow-up: THIS! Predictable days of the week help fans get excited and not have to look up “are they on tonight” (and obviously most fans won’t) bsky.app/profile/velo...
This schedule sucks for a few reasons, but one of them is that there used to be one day a week (Thursday) when you knew they'd always be on and that you could look forward to in advance on TNT, and now it's just completely random when they'll be on.
Here is when Inside The NBA will be on during the NBA regular season.

And back on my old fantasy media GM bullsh*t
NBC Sports never figured out a digital offering - be it a blog to a podcast network - and the vibe of The Ringer crew would fit in here at NBC so much better than FanDuel TV

I love the old TNT crew but even before the whole enterprise got Zaz’d… it was creeping into “old man yells” territory too often
There’s a path where NBC’s Sunday Night games are larger than TNT Thursdays both for audience and cultural impact for how we discuss the league

We missed a chance when Everybody Snacks could’ve grifted into a “I’m just asking questions about public health” play!

Fwiw @erinkeane.bsky.social is 100% right - a media business like Tangle would actually live up to the lofty ideals espoused in that memo (putting aside the international bullsh*t) bsky.app/profile/erin...
Every FB post I see circulating looks fresh off the line from the Hot Take Factory — how does that bridge partisan divides? (Rhetorical question.) If they pulled in a pub like Tangle I would be more persuaded they care about Le Middle and not making a big gesture to A Hyperspecific Audience.
