Rob Pelinka Discussion: BBall Ops Pres + GM (AKA: Lucky Rob)

This is exactly my thoughts on the whole AI thing.
I work in IT and it's sad how companies are jumping to stuff with no foundation whatsoever.

A friend of mine mentioned this is the new bubble and basically many companies will go all in into AI, fire a bunch people, it will start failing in multiple directions and costing money to the company where they then return to some sort of middle ground and start hiring people again and it stabilizes there.

not to fully derail, but it's most certainly a bubble, and like other bubbles, it's propping up a bunch of stuff and that's why it hasn't already failed. privately, most places that have imported it haven't reaped the promised benefits. everything started as giving it away for free so people become dependent upon it. step 2 is making you pay for it. problem is not enough dependence has been created.

the real long con here is an attempt to recapture "the internet" and sell it back to us. i think that's going to fail, and we'll all pay for a few people gaming the system and getting rich. again. yay.

anyway, i did derail. whatever tools the front office can employ effectively, go for it. i'm just not sure that being the nba team who has most integrated deep learning or whatever will necessarily deliver results on the court. i'm guessing there's more to the new person/position than any of that, and the journalists reporting on it just know AI is a buzzword right now.
