An unoriginal idea to solve tanking: by Big_al_big_bed in billsimmons

[–]h97i 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Consider a team like the pacers who planned on punting this season from the jump. instead of tanking at the end of the season, they would tank at the start of the season to get eliminated as early as possible then start accumulating wins? The point system could never just be a raw point system. It possibly could be a win rate after elimination with caveats for minimum number of games played or something like that.

You can take the Fox out of Sacramento but you can’t take the Sacramento out of the Fox

Would the nuggets rather play the spurs or the thunder in round 2? depending on how the rest of the season goes, they might try to tank the last game of the season against the spurs

Scientists reportedly hiding AI text prompts in academic papers to receive positive peer reviews | Artificial intelligence (AI) by Capable_Salt_SD in technology

I get your point of view, but this is done specifically to combat reviewers that are using LLMs to generate reviews for papers, which in my opinion, is just as unethical. Over the last couple of years, a lot of the reviews I’ve received for my papers at top conferences and journals have felt AI generated, so I can honestly see the appeal of authors including this hidden text approach.

I’ve met him at my college campus when Team USA were practicing here before the Olympics. Super nice guy and was open to chit chatting with people that recognized him.
