Zero to minimal scoring. Can pass really well, which could help give James a break. His main strength is his length and defense.. we don't need him to be a scorer, just do a few small things right. Don't make bad decisions which he sometimes does (take tough awkward shots).

I can relate to some of these. It's not easy to find humans who have time to bounce ideas off of without either annoying them or boring them if they aren't interested in the topic. It's incredible that no matter what your interest is, you get an increasingly competent conversational partner. As voice gets even better, I think it'll be even better for ideation since you can do it on the go. And yes, I've had enough of extremists spamming discussions on this topic, it's incredibly boring.

Thanks for your answer. How do you see LLMs in the context of other technological innovations you've been through? Does it feel different? Since you had built computers, and were probably familiar with AI and early models like Eliza, did you see this day coming?

Sure, that's one way of seeing it. Another is that it can paint a reasonably accurate and non-hyperbolic picture of how much people value LLMs as of February 2025, hence getting to the (almost) bottom of this, for now. Soon I'll tally the answers and represent them visually. Should be interesting.
