I know the answer is "Actually everyone is a fucking idiot" but it continually amazes me (not just with AI) how much people just want someone to tell them what to do.
It's fine for "do I paint the trim or walls first?" but you went to how many years of school and jump for the black box answer?

The Mets have been doing this stupid "come back to your cart" advertising nonsense all year, pretending that you started checking out but didn't finish, but it falls particularly tonedeaf now that it seems like a lot of people might actually be legit having those second thoughts.

As someone alive in 2020, I would've assumed you were talking about the present.
The government and business leaders lying to us for profit by any tool possible? Sacrificing the vulnerable for money? Multiple narratives full of falsehoods?

It does read as a "level swing to all fields" type of approach. They ARE third in barrel% too, which includes ideal launch angle, but if they're actually looking to all fields, the park is big.
I need to find where I can see team-wide spray charts. Do they have more outs in deepCF for example..

One 'interesting' thing about the Mets offense..
They hit it hard. 3rd in league in HardHit%. 2nd in Exit Velocity90, but 21st in Launch Angle. 27th in Pull%. 16th in LD%.
It really does feel like they're choosing the wrong pitches to attack and over-priortizing contact.

I implore you to research? I have done the research and what they seem to be doing seems to be more old-school "hit to all fields" nonsense than data-driven good approach stuff. Quotes from Eric Chavez have hinted at that too.

math isn't telling them to have this poor approach, in fact I suspect what they're doing is LESS analytics-based and that that's the problem.

Anyway, I still think a huge problem we need to contend with is freaking 'content' churn. Automated systems (AI or not!) that just inundate us with stuff. Not even the spam, the constant capitalism "LOOK AT ME" stuff.

First group is in the back fiddling with stuff thinking "Hmm, I wonder if I did this.. What if we tried.."
the second group was handed a huge AI check by a VC fund and wrote up some buzz word talking points. (Probably ChatGPT'd it actually, and fed half of it as quotes to the Times)

It's not really an "early use case" it's simply modeling behavior we've let dominate and spread.
see also racism, hate speech, etc. We need to be more cognizant of the mirror here.

Because it wasn't a clean transfer. Because he still had to made a good throw, and then a good catch, and then a good tag. And we don't know how close Taylor was already.
