Reposted by Morgan FlomGrumpy Philosopher @stevecooke.org · 18/09/2026My suspicion is that if AI saves anyone time, it is usually because it has redistributed workload to someone else. Someone less lazy and more competent. LLMs are a tool that creates work for skilled, conscientious people & reduces for annoying, useless tossers. 1155

Morgan Flom @moflom.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Damn. The one time I head to Toronto for the evening. Why couldn't the Toronto Tempo and the River Run Centre have deconflicted based solely on my needs? 000
Morgan Flom @moflom.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Recent #TorontoTempo signing Julie Allemand was stellar last year for the Sparks. She was in most of the top 2 player combos and led the team in individual net rating as well. Her ability to create was a huge factor as she was in the #WNBA top 10 in ASTs per 100 and the only player with an ATO > 3. 131
Morgan Flom @moflom.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Looking to build off a rough season, the #DallasWings had a few combos that were net positives and Paige Bueckers was on the top 2. The key will be getting good shots in the minutes when she sits. 010
Morgan Flom @moflom.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Griner moving on from the #WNBA #AtlantaDream may be a blessing in disguise for them. Her minutes last year represented the worst five "2 player combos" (high volume) and 7 of the worst 10. She was not represented in any of the top 25 2 player lineup combos for the dream. 000
Morgan Flom @moflom.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Snooping around some #WNBA #IndianaFever lineup data from last year. And unsurprisingly CC and AB dominate the top 2 player combos, and if you include Mitchell, then 10 of the top 11 high volume combos have one of those 3 on the floor. The second unit drop off was significant. 010

Morgan Flom @moflom.bsky.social · 18/02/2026This discourse is just so mind-numbing.
