They’re 22-43.

Reposted from The Athletic

76ers president Daryl Morey explained how his team uses A.I. models in decision making.

He went on to derail a voiceover recording for a pea ad.

pxleyes.bsky.social•5 days ago

If I ever bring myself to give another talk on AI, I’m using this as an example as to why you don’t trust the results of any ai model.

thiccceywicket.bsky.social•5 days ago

Why are you yelling at me about Paul George’s contract? Go type some prompts in caps lock at ChatGPT.

tkb24.bsky.social•5 days ago

Predicting losses and injuries that is. Or, cry babies.

golgengeese.bsky.social•5 days ago

Maybe it predicted that this would land them Cooper Flagg?

kenfinch.bsky.social•5 days ago

Fits.

fecak.bsky.social•5 days ago

We talkin bout AI. We ain’t talkin bout the game.

deviouschungus.bsky.social•5 days ago

He’s gonna say the LLM predicted that too

Imagine getting booed everywhere you go for a decision 2K made

302czar.bsky.social•5 days ago

I'm supposed to be the franchise player, we in here talkin about A.I. I mean, listen: We talkin about A.I. Not a game. Not a game. Not a game. We talkin about A.I. Not a game. Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last. Not the game. We talkin about A.I., man.

Paul George. 4 years $212,000,000. Need a new model.

hwrdhdsn.bsky.social•4 hours ago

But is it *profitable*? Maybe he’s measuring something different from wins and losses. AI can suck and STILL make him money…

melisa23.bsky.social•5 days ago

After we fix the current fascist situation, and repair our international relations, and persuade Canada and Mexico not to kick us in the teeth forever as they absolutely should do, we need to give kids a better grounding in basic math so they don't make stupid decisions like this. #themoreyouknow

chuck-e-jesus.bsky.social•4 days ago

He meant "Awful Integration" models.

somebitterdude.bsky.social•5 days ago

Maybe the REAL Sloan Conference was the bad free agent decisions we made along the way.

poconopeak.bsky.social•5 days ago

Also coming from the team that has Cr*ypto . com as a main sponsor. So it tracks...

anon33guest.bsky.social•5 days ago

Makes me wonder if Nico is using a magic 8 ball or to manage the mavericks.

leoburrito.bsky.social•5 days ago

I used to think Morey was a genius. I've questioned that a bit during his Sixers tenure. This seals it, though... He's a moron.

scribescales.bsky.social•4 days ago

I mean, he was considered a genius during his time in Houston, though. Philly just feels like a different story by comparison. Not sure if it's due to the situation with China in 2019 or if it's something in Philly that's causing things to change within him like this, though.

cristianramirez.bsky.social•5 days ago

With two of the worst Max contracts in the league

nuclearwombat.bsky.social•5 days ago

AI telling him to go get 34 year old Paul George is all the evidence I need to completely denounce it

patrikharnes.bsky.social•5 days ago

Using an LLM to make decisions does explain the Paul George contract pretty well though.

psbasran.bsky.social•5 days ago

Trust the process

benross.bsky.social•5 days ago

Imagine how bad they’d be without AI!

reamessiah29.bsky.social•4 days ago

AI said build ypur team with big loser energy so they added Paul George to Joel Embiid

k-a-w.bsky.social•5 days ago

this is just so extremely on brand for the man, i must say

gomer1188.bsky.social•4 days ago

Maybe they're asking the AI if they are going to lose that night? Or if another player will get injured?

scatterazure.bsky.social•5 days ago

LOL...Morey getting absolutely posterized over this...LOL

richmahogany.bsky.social•5 days ago

What the fuck is up with the biggest idiot you know LOVING ai? Consistently? Every time.

The case my students are arguing this semester is a generative AI case, misappropriation of likeness.

tom-rooney-3.bsky.social•5 days ago

Those without natural intelligence look towards artificial intelligence as “the great evener”.

scottishelena.bsky.social•5 days ago

stupid people think that making an effort is for morons, things are inherently good for virtue of being credited to them,

schteveh.bsky.social•5 days ago

They say AI is only wrong 40% of the time, which would be an improvement on how they're making their decisions now.

relentlesspursuit.bsky.social•5 days ago

"Poorly"

shanavwhite.bsky.social•5 days ago

appiah.bsky.social•5 days ago

This makes so much sense

jscram3254.bsky.social•5 days ago

Given how often AI is wrong, I believe it.

steel-is-real.bsky.social•5 days ago

It’s cool he decided to grow the “hide the double or triple chin beard”

thedenature.bsky.social•5 days ago

Excuse me? I was told to Trust the Process. But THIS is the process?

johnjxwebb.bsky.social•5 days ago

Predicting losses, apparently.

reddishraven.bsky.social•5 days ago

I asked Grok about how many games we could expect from Joel Embiid and it said "Embiid's durability is well-known throughout the league and he is known to be constantly under medical care."

Signs are good!

abbeyisme.bsky.social•5 days ago

Got to blame something for signing Paul George.

disorderlybrdrline.bsky.social•5 days ago

That's it. Time to stop watching sports and just let EA handle things from here on out.

Good thing though: no more fucking annoying sports betting ads.

AI only predicts well over impractical time periods.

parisinla.bsky.social•5 days ago

Didn’t we see this done in Westworld?

briscocountyjr.bsky.social•4 days ago

They might be better off using (AI) Allen Iverson to make their decisions.

andytobo.bsky.social•5 days ago

And the AI knew that

am-mccarthy.bsky.social•5 days ago

Not quite the endorsement he thinks it is

dcorkery.bsky.social•5 days ago

There’s only one AI that belongs with the sixers.

thither.bsky.social•5 days ago

Well done. This deserves way more likes.

mcclelef.bsky.social•4 days ago

Need to move up in the AI draft

akarra.bsky.social•5 days ago

this explains so much

adamrothman.bsky.social•5 days ago

There's only one A.I. the 76ers should be consulting.

terps3040.bsky.social•5 days ago

Apparently he told them.not to ...

jbsaltzman.bsky.social•5 days ago

kylermiller.bsky.social•4 days ago

But the LLM knew that would happen!

peterangelakos.bsky.social•5 days ago

@minakimes.bsky.social 🤷🏻‍♂️

cullenskink.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yes, but the AI tells them 22-43 is an 82% win ratio.

nestedpistordoll.bsky.social•5 days ago

Maybe it predicted they would lose a lot?

theycallmebear.bsky.social•5 days ago

AI told him to run Joel Embiid into the ground

What's 'fairly well' considered to be?

If you toss a coin, it has a fifty percent chance of giving you the best decision from two choices, that's a really good success rate.

We should flip the stock market to coin-tossing based systems immediately

odinthavok.bsky.social•5 days ago

That's better than AI models can get!

thek9barrister.bsky.social•5 days ago

I’ve yet to hear anyone outside of very specific use cases where AI actually fundamentally improved what it got added to.

beefalo.bsky.social•5 days ago

Morey going for the “late stage Orson Wells look, I like it

bobotron808.bsky.social•5 days ago

Must be using Grok.

scribescales.bsky.social•4 days ago

I think if James Jones admitted he used AI recently, not only would I not be surprised myself, but I would be 100% justified in Mat Ishbia firing James Jones after this season.

chrispb.bsky.social•5 days ago

He now looks like bearded Steve Bannon.

certifiedblazed.bsky.social•4 days ago

Since when? Because Jared McCain was a pretty great pick 🤷

marmutia.bsky.social•5 days ago

I'd like to go back to 11 year me. The kid who chose the 76ers as his team, and slap the bejeezus out of him.

bsbeamer.bsky.social•5 days ago

At least they bailed on the Center City arena.

fluffy108.bsky.social•4 days ago

Maybe they should use a fan model to get rid of ownership of the sixers.

themetabaron.bsky.social•5 days ago

Nico Harrison relies on the same AI

zeroisanumber.bsky.social•5 days ago

Computer says we're destined to suck shit so whaddya do?

blorp3.bsky.social•5 days ago

Never thought I’d enjoy this team losing as much as I do. With their crypto stadium and Embiids “hodl” shirts.

estrogenandprogester.one•5 days ago

i guess if you can blame AI for the decision to destroy embiids knee instead of shutting him down last season, you can try to avoid accountability

mcbrungus.bsky.social•5 days ago

Coming back for the playoffs last year had nothing to do with Joel's knee being cooked

estrogenandprogester.one•5 days ago

did they not literally have two major options for his meniscus repair last year and chose the faster one?

mcbrungus.bsky.social•5 days ago

No. Repair was never an option, or they would have gone with it. Repairs are much much less common than meniscectomies, because there's so little blood flow to the meniscus that repairs won't heal in most cases.

acphila.bsky.social•5 days ago

the shredded knee part is where he came back to play and reinjured it but it was just the straw that broke the camels back.

mcbrungus.bsky.social•5 days ago

What? There's been zero reporting that he came back to play and "reinjured it"

macrotipstrader.bsky.social•5 days ago

On par with AI accuracy that I have personally experienced

lifesexyshabadadoo.bsky.social•5 days ago

I want to see a team do an entire "process" using AI.

Every trade, every draft pick, in-game decisions, etc.

bryceinvegas.bsky.social•5 days ago

Trust the Processor!

joshtbilly.bsky.social•5 days ago

Their best players are also hurt

objectivelydrew.bsky.social•4 days ago

When LLMs can write at a decent level but gather information at a first grade reading level, you get the 76ers. If you can replace a data analyst with AI, you can replace Morey with a 7 year old.

noeldickover.bsky.social•5 days ago

This is "the process" fans were supposed to trust???

scribescales.bsky.social•4 days ago

I'm pretty sure "The Process" was something that happened under Sam Hinkie's tenure. It only really continued in spirit thanks to Joel Embiid.

jeffemeral.bsky.social•5 days ago

TrAIst the PrAIcess

tkrag.bsky.social•5 days ago

Did the AI bet heavily against the team on the side too?

Also, I'd wager that the only thing LLMs do "fairly well" at predicting is a coin flip.

brentstahl.bsky.social•4 days ago

AI model: Assume a healthy center, a small forward that isn't broken down, a guard who can shoot......

hbookbinder.bsky.social•5 days ago

pensar.bsky.social•4 days ago

Can we map the start date of AI model use to team W/L record?

I bet it would be quite interesting.

mjmbca.bsky.social•5 days ago

That’s not what the AI says.

keroberry1.bsky.social•5 days ago

Imagine being the team outperformed by the AI guys, i'd scrap the entire franchise 💀

scribescales.bsky.social•4 days ago

As a fan of the team that traded away a good amount of our picks to those two teams below the 76ers, I have to ask can we get those picks back on our hands in this case?

clnhmltn.bsky.social•5 days ago

This explains so much.

yeetski.bsky.social•5 days ago

They’re using the version modeled on Ben Simmons

fili86.bsky.social•5 days ago

badideasociety.bsky.social•5 days ago

I'm pretty sure I could run an NBA team better with a list of active available players, a blindfold, and a bunch of darts.

hardwarelust.bsky.social•5 days ago

They should use AI to find a replacement for this moron.

thegriffindoor.bsky.social•5 days ago

They want to use AI to decide which public servants should be fired.😮

mnsjcpy.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yep and that is where AI will get you, losing

contractjames.bsky.social•5 days ago

They must be using Grok.

besmith63.bsky.social•5 days ago

Maybe he’s secretly anti-AI and helping both his team and AI tank

mcpoylesnavy.bsky.social•5 days ago

When are we going to stop praying at the exalted Morey altar? Like there aren’t at least one million other people smarter, and another 300M dumber who can run a franchise and not win anything
