“I AM MECHA-[silhouette of a 1940’s fascist leader] REEEEEEE!!!!!!”

“What an interesting halftime interview Dorris, now back to the game sponsored by our mega-daddies at Kalshi, Polymarket, Draft Kings and more!”

Same amount of titles as your franchise since the 70s

It’s just an echo chamber for him. It will tell him all the shit he knows and does like a sycophantic PA.

Seahawks HC is doing the same. Wouldn’t be surprised a lot of people at the top of their field is using AI. Fuck AI but most of these mfers don’t care

I’ve got friends who abhor AI and other friends who sincerely believe AI is the future blah blah. The latter group convinced me to play around with Claude. Can’t say it’s given me any real insight or “intuition” that I could not have found through existing human sources – and that’s because it is a text-generator trained on existing human sources.

He’s on fire!!

Worked incredibly in NBA Street and NBA 2K as well.

Magic with Shaq inside and Skiles raining 3’s was easy mode

“Why does watching The Town make me… tingle… you know, down there?”

yeah, but it still can be frustrating to watch when they start doing it. Shoot a 3 about 10 seconds into the shot clock, miss, long rebound goes to the other team. Rinse and repeat for a nice 10-0 swing. Maybe it is an older mentality but sometimes I think players need to get the easy lay-up or 8 footer just to see the ball go in the basket. JB was the worst with this.

He’d try to shoot his way out of a dry spell and he was great with us but you saw it happening a mile away and no one stopped it

I aim to displease!

Unfortunately exposed to way too much Claudeslop at work. I think people have collectively figured out how to spot ChatGPT slop at this point, but Claude is a different animal

He started a ridiculous lineup for game 7 last year.

It’s from Space Odyssey. Good old HAL 9000.

I see Dave Portnoy sitting in the front row, I hurl great distances

Hey I agree with this!

Anyone?

he’s definitely an off putting person, i just find it somewhat amusing but I understand why someone( or most) wouldn’t

Seriously? I’ve hated everything Boston for 40 years, but I suddenly love Joe.

Let me ask Claude, one sec

Is nuance a new ai chat bot?

Could you imagine the absolute dripping sarcasm to name a new AI product Nuance? Microsoft did buy Nuance Communications, and could relabel Copilot that…

I actually think Nuance would be a cool stripper name

Nuance is the new n word

See yall say that but every single thread about AI has more people asking for nuance or cracking corny jokes about it than people who actually just unequivocally hate AI and don’t care for context. And it’s not close.

insanely based take. feel the same way as someone who has been forced to use it heavily for work.

The context he’s talking about it seems like a totally reasonable way to use AI though.

Experts in many fields use AI to improve their work, so i dont see how this is any different.

I imagine hes not prompting it with things like “hey, whats the best half court set we can run for tatum?”

Using AI as an advisor as well as to prompt you to think deeper on a subject is not a bad thing. Come on now

You’ve probably not been in many coaching rooms or front office rooms. These guys are using everything they have to get a single edge at their job.

This is just like the Dotcom bubble. There was a lot of dogshit that had a lot of money thrown at it because “the internet is the next big thing”. The dogshit failed and caused a major hit to the economy, but the internet was indeed the next big thing and the people that figured out how to use it properly became the standard bearers which taught everyone else how to use it and eventually contributed tens of trillions of dollars to the global economy. AI is going through this exact phase now where people are shoving it into every nook and cranny and a lot of those ideas are dumb, but there was a report last week (which tried to frame this as a negative) that “just 13% of businesses are seeing significant or transformational value from AI”. In a few years, the AI toasters and crap like that will fail and everyone will be copying what those 13% have already figured out. Less dogshit PowerPoints and more actual advancement.

Mazzula definitely asked Claude why they lost to the 76ers and Claude told him it was because of Paul George.

That’s just the way they use it. I can make the same slides nowadays but faster thanks to ai. I don’t let it control the content tho. Story is still mine, content is still mine. AI just handles the grunt work

People are losing critical thinking abilities, analytical abilities, and confidence in decision making because they rely on AI as a tool, which ostensibly makes you a parrot of an LLM without original thoughts. This is why it is creepy as fuck when shit stains like Sam Altman say “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter”. They are literally giving the whole game away and ya’ll are like “yes sir may I have another”. AI is an appropriate tool for certain tasks (focused, complex and deep analysis), but people using it for their daily tasks are actively training AI to do their work, and most people use it because they are lazy or not very smart. People shouldn’t need AI to help write their emails. You also have to be aware of its flaws within your industry or else you can really fuck yourself over. As an architect if I trusted AI’s interpretation of building and zoning codes I would have been sued countless times by now. It is helpful in narrowing down information, but it provides incorrect info, and even hallucinates information that it misunderstands. At the end of the day its a tool like anything else but problematic if you heavily rely on it.

“just in life” grok respond to this text from my girlfriend she’s angry

Trust me, theyre not putting the datacenters in there because they want to give you more and better AI lol. China is proof of that.

You should read about Peter Thiel.

This completely ignores the environmental damage data centers cause (alongside impacting nearby homes) and the price increase on computer components that the explosion of AI has caused.

There’s plenty of good reasons to dislike LLM

Professionally? Maybe. There is zero reason a normal person needs AI for anything in their normal lives.

“Not using an LLM as a tool in some capacity is pretty nonsensical in most professions, or just in life.”

Stated as an unequivocal fact, even though it’s not. I don’t use it at my job, or “just in life”, but if you feel that you have to outsource your brain because you lack the ability to think, that’s a shame for you.

What do you need it for in every day life? Genuinely asking. I can’t think of anything I do that I’d need to use AI for. I see the benefits to some professionals especially to quickly get a starting draft on things. I don’t use it but I get it.

I’m here to tell everybody that doesn’t understand that if you work in corporate, you need AI and it’s laughable to think otherwise

I too am a fan of Allen Iverson.

You literally have no idea what you’re talking about lol

You don’t think being the coach of billion dollar franchise is a corporate workspace

!?!?!?!?!? Lmao what

When you don’t have a job like 90% of people on this site, you can see why they complain about it not having a use case

Meanwhile it saves me hours each day

You’re making assumptions and you didn’t read the actual quotes you think that his AI is literally coaching the team?  God you people are insufferable.

Those tools help you with the soft skills. You’re basically off loading all your admin work so you have more time to be prepared for the important things. If you don’t understand that, you’re going to be left behind.

You are first in the list of layoff candidates if you dont use AI at some capacity at work. The difference in work volume of a guy who doesnt and uses ai is exponentially different. And thats all that matters to your company.

Most of the time your skill usage would be to QC and review the work output of the AI.

It should (does) bolster your skills if you are using it correctly in the professional workspace.

May lose some skills and gain others over said long time horizon. And the ones that you’ll gain are increasingly sought / expected from employers.

I think basically every job has busywork or organizational tasks that can be offloaded without touching core skills.

In case you’re actually serious and have been living under a rock, AI progress has been exponential over the past three years, on a near monthly basis.

Opus 5.5 shits all over Fable 5.1 which shits all over Opus 4.6 which shits all over whatever was running back in March.

I literally feel like a fucking cyborg most days - in the good way. The amount of information that is accessible and easily/accurately synthesized is unfathomable.

You’re making a lot of assumptions did you actually read the quotes?

I mean TBF AI is an existential threat to many careers, or at least is marketed as such, so it is not a surprise it is extremely hated by the younger generation.

Calling this anti tech is so stupid

I am not a developer and use AI as little as possible and did 2 weeks of work for a team of 5 in 2 days part time by myself.

thats the bald muscle guy on youtube who got exposed as a fake right?

i started watching his videos a few years back befoee he was too big but i had to stop because he gave heavy racist against blacks vibe anytime somebody mentioned listening to rap he would just spend the next 30 seconds doing weird uncomfortable black culture bits

Bc everybody’s being gaslighted everyday about how great it is by their boss

I used Claude for the first time recently and this was my experience. Watching it say “hey so I came up with a report but I can do it quicker with fewer wasted resources if you give me better data” made me chuckle.

Lmao

Luka Garza is the smoking gun.

“Paul George is Jaylen Brown but with a decade more of experience”

A Pritchard–Scheierman–Hauser–Shulga–Garza lineup can win a championship because it embodies the Celtics’ ultimate weapon: five-out spacing, relentless three-point shooting, and an offense that forces defenses to choose their poison. With Boston’s system maximizing quick decisions, drive-and-kick opportunities, and offensive rebounding, this group could swing playoff games with explosive shooting runs. They don’t need five superstars; they need five complementary players who make every defensive mistake hurt.

Language modeling data trained from the Celtics subreddit is going to lead to some fun places

“They” meaning Tom Haberstroh from Yahoo Sports? That was his quote, not the Celtics’.

“Not only is playing a player with POTS 25 minutes a game an effective strategy, it also shows strength and belief in your team!”

Jaylen Brown was playing on a torn meniscus and Porzingis was playing with a unknown disease and then Tatum tore his Achilles

We lost to the Knicks because we played a dude (Porzingis) who was not physically fit enough to play professional playoff basketball. He single-handedly lost us the first two games.

I get that his mindset is they’ll play their way out of it but that usually doesn’t work. I also prefer taking a timeout when it looks like the guys on defense have bad body language and are sluggish. There have been a ton of games I’ve watched when coaches refuse to take a timeout and I’m saying or thinking timeout. Then one or two possessions later the coach finally calls timeout, almost as if they’re doing it begrudgingly and have no choice.

He’s been shooting poorly for a long time now and his handle isn’t particularly good. I don’t think his defense is enough to warrant the minutes he’s getting at this point. I just call it as it is. I was a big fan but he’s been struggling for a while.

He’s too busy down at the TGI Fridays on City Line to help Joe.

Andrés Iniesta plays soccer so it wouldn’t make sense for him to talk to mazzulla

Then that’s when the people who get paid for this kind of stuff say hey that’s wrong and try something new

Vs?

What is the status quo?

Redditors love to dwell on the perfection fallacy.

And completely miss the benefit of incremental improvement and net benefit.

And so do all humans, including NBA coaches

I would 100% trust claude with a spreadsheet over anyone ive ever seen do it by hand.

Exactly lol, half these people think AI is still the ChatGPT app. They have no idea how much of the world is running on the bigger models, and the level of complexity in agent harnesses/setups.

It still fucks up and needs human guidance lol, but it’s a great tool and you’re getting left behind if you refuse to use it at all.

Absolutely. Personally I am incredibly excited for the medical breakthroughs ahead. I’d love my kids to grow up in a world with significantly less deadly diseases and a considerably longer lifespan and quality of life.

That’s not a technology issue, it’s a business issue of cutting every possible corner and politician issue of letting them do what they want because money.

Look up the difference between data centre builds in red states where they hate their own citizens vs literally anywhere where there’s regulation, it’s night and day.

Hey that’s not fair! It also creates child porn, political misinformation, and is ushering in a golden age of scams.

AI is a drop in the bucket compared to automobiles.

If anything it’s accelerating grid modernization which is a pre-requisite to renewables. The ecological impact to data centers and AI is massssssively overstated.

And perhaps you could take a minute to think critically and not fall for clickbait propaganda that doesn’t remotely tell a full story.

You use more energy with more environmental impact scrolling social media than I do using an LLM. The NBA takes a massive toll on the environment, but you’re still a fan, because it’s something you like so you don’t made the negative impact.

If you think there’s been “very little quality of life improvement” then you are just choosing to only receive information that reinforces your predetermined narrative. But I 100% support environmental regulations on AI as well as other progressive policies that ensure this technology can actually work to benefit us all on a greater scale and not just become mass displacement tools further consolidating wealth.

Hence, the nuance - you can appreciate the benefits of the technology without thinking that Big AI companies should have free rein to do whatever they want, or that there shouldn’t be more legislated benefits for everyone in society.

But the technology is never going away, so instead of ignoring that nuance and deciding “ALL AI BAD” you could think more critically and help support legislation that can enable those benefits to reach everyone.

Lol. Yesssssss let’s blame AI not the politicians who have been making stupid decisions for the past century.

If you eat steak or any vegetables, drive a car, water your lawn, order from Amazon, etc. then don’t worry about it, you’re already contributing to more ecological damage than AI is

Look at a pie chart of water usage and then break out a magnifying glass to see the effect of data centers.

Welp, as someone who works on IT, I can say LLMs can analyze a fuckton of data quickly and give trends, insights, find outliers…I’ve done data analysys in a day that would take me more than a week to do.

I am still finding this odd, tho

Are you asking how LLMs actually work or what helpful feedback it could provide a coach?

Both are easy answers, but in either scenario there’s no reason to be nasty about your question - we can have a civil discourse even if we disagree.

By asking him questions that make him think of things in a different way. It literally says this in the article.

Didn’t Mazzulla literally just tell you?

AI Luddite

Cars? Yeah, totally.

Or did you mean social media? Also agree.

Do you think calculators are lazy?

Yeah I hear you, but for me in a creative workflow I often just find it helpful for an outside perspective.

Like I find LLMs to be horrible creative writers, but I do find they give good feedback from perspectives or angles I might not be looking at. Sometimes you get so far down a certain line of thought it’s hard to break into fresh perspectives, and trying to get another person up to speed on years of data in your own brain just isn’t practical.

Now if he’s saying “Claude, make my plays,” like yeah fuck that, but if he’s using it for perspective and consolidation of data and analyzing trends over time, that stuff is so helpful.

I agree with pretty much everything you’re saying.

I don’t “trust AI” anymore than I trust a hammer to hang a nail without me. If you’re not providing the right instructions and prompting of course you’re going to get bad results, and you should of course never take anything as fact coming out. That doesn’t mean there aren’t legitimate ways for it to provide helpful feedback.

I’d go on, but I really do think we agree on like all of this so doesn’t really seem necessary.

“Caping”? Is that a thing?

I offer just as much criticism about AI as I do positivity, I’m just capable of recognizing the benefits along with the faults because the world isn’t black and white.

But if you’re actually reading my comments you’d see how pro regulation on AI I am, and how I’m for very progressive reform around the industry. I imagine you’re happier just yelling at the clouds though.

You’re right. I like the environment and I like critical thinking skills. That’s why I’m very anti AI.

People dislike something that I don’t dislike = they dislike it for no reason

Ask your little assistant if that logic tracks

Being anti-unchecked hyperscale data center development is literally the most bi-partisan position that exists in America right now…

Y’know I enjoyed most of your comment and was going to provide a thoughtful reply to continue the discussion, and then you just decided to be a douchebag in your last line for no reason.

Not sure why it’s so hard to make a new point or disagree with someone without being an ass about it, but yeah you do you “bud” 🙃

You’re right as in it takes in human biases but it’s still a useful tool for uncovering any potential blind spots you may have

jalen brunson has vibe coded his whole career. he told cursor “make me clutch” and just hit accept all fuck it

You think there’s some grunts doing all the player tracking for their analytics department in 2026? Good lord.

the existence of such people doesnt mean there arent people who use claude effectively to produce genuinely good work.

i dislike a lot of things about ai and its proliferation right now, but it is ignorant to assume that everyone using it is using it wrong or are less reliable because they use it.

Get a job lol

it’s not weird propoganda to acknowledge that there are genuinely many many use-cases where using ai produces good reliable work.

It’s fine to be opposed to ai for a number of reasons, but you are being an ostritch if you try to pretend this isn’t the case.

No, he just works in the corporate finance world most likely

I work for a construction company in New England…. You guys are so reddit brained it’s insane.

Dude, everyone uses it in tech. Anyone in the industry knows and uses it. Ya’ll do not live in the reality.

Insane the loops Reddit jumps through to try and pretend that people actually in environments where this is true are just making shit up

What systems do you mean? Like my work’s Claude does not feed Anthropic training data.

I work for a construction company.

I’m sorry you don’t understand how to utilize AI and you don’t work in a corporate setting so I don’t know what to tell you. I see it every day people who use AI are advancing because their work is better.

Left behind? Writing a good prompt is not difficult

Yeah and my boss is an idiot who thinks it’s google

Why would I talk to a chat bot?
