Reposted by tbird (she/her)Matthew J Kuiper @matthewjkuiper.bsky.social · 20/09/2026It’s hard to overstate just how great a social evil the new ubiquity of sports betting has become. Companies like Draft Kings, Fanduel, and all the others are a cancer, preying on addicts and seeking new addicts. It also threatens (and is already undermining) the integrity of sport itself.nytimes.comAt DraftKings, AI Targets the Gamblers Likeliest to Lose (Gift Article)Data science helps determine who receives betting incentives, but the company has resisted using similar technology to protect gamblers at risk of addiction. 45621
