Patrick is a stone cold freak for dropping writing this good into the intro of what is a useful, but fairly formulaic Game 2 preview format: www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...
There’s an element to sports that sportswriters never weary of trying to capture, hacking through the kudzu of metrics and quotations to get at. It’s the paradox of a sense of overwhelming immortality, mixed with a sense of how fleeting that omnipotence is. Athletes hypnotize themselves into attaining it, fans slurp at it like a shallow oasis in the desert, writers build entire novels constructing a world to provide it. The Boston Red Sox lost a pair of games to the Washington Nationals by 15 runs around the end of June, and then seized that invincibility and held it for more than five full weeks, enjoying a run almost unparalleled in the history of baseball. It was like snorting cocaine while on a runner’s high after finding out you’d aced a college final and fallen in love, all at the same time.

Unfortunately, that time happened to be July, and by the end of September it was a happy memory. Baseball took that perfect month and chewed away at it with its sharp little teeth, as it always does, pulling at hamstrings and snapping bones. And on Tuesday, the capricious and hateful gods of baseball took it and provided it to one Ben Rice, handed him the thunderbolts to strike the heroes down. For one day it was the Yankees who were invincible, led by the league’s best pitcher and a hitter whose resting face might best be described as vague concern, even as their captain stood with his elbows on the dugout railing. The New York Yankees are now, today and only today, the greatest team in baseball. But maybe not tomorrow. The gods need fresh meat.

I think what this does get though is that AI is part of the boss/exec backlash that consumed tech leaders after MeToo and Work From Home. It's another way for them to assume more control of workers and the industry.

Why can’t AI be like hard coded to follow the law? Why isn’t that a thing? Why has no one just come up with a like “here’s the standard for keeping your AI from doing bad shit, if we catch you with an AI that doesn’t have this your company gets smushed.” Just seems like this is all unfolding oddly.

the thing about MAGA, including elon, is that taking their money can be very easily legally done because we have insanely bad laws about asset forfeiture, and you can also very easily build a case to the public for why. you don't need to convince a skeptical judge. and money is why they do this.

an extremely important thing to remember about Patriarchy is that it's not just rule by men, it's rule by *fathers*. By necessity, it creates a massive surplus of extraneous "secondary" males that have to be accounted for in some way:

One way of looking at the rise of the Male resentment politics is that we're still producing secondary males -- and, in fact, our system is producing more than ever -- but it's become increasingly difficult to find a way to get rid of them.

no kind of reform of any sort is possible while this state of affairs persists. you have to allow companies to change over time, to be amenable to different perspectives, to have actual corporate oversight by something other than one man's will. sic semper tyrannis

Legitimacy depends less on everyone loving the rules than on believing rules constrain power. Once enforcement becomes selective, losing stops feeling like a lawful outcome and starts looking like surrender.

On second thought I think what they're actually trying to do is create the premium death spiral they've been long predicting but that hasn't actually happened. They're saying not filing a claim is evidence of fraud, which gives them an excuse to kick healthy people off the system and manufacture it.
