How much should managers let bots do the thinking

Here's a link to the paper for you nerds who actually want to read analyze it:

And for the cool tomato in gumbo type kids, here's a perplexity AI summary of the paper:
I'm glad that this is being written about. Not lying, as close as I am to this industry and for as much as I use AI, both in coding and writing, I absolutely think very differently than I did prior.

Some of it is in a bad way as this would suggest... it's easy to get lazy. I find when I'm coding / vibe coding I'm really lazy like that. If it doesn't run, it's way easier to fix in AI than it ever was when you had to bug trace.

Written word, however, I find that the benefits are that I spend less time thinking about how I'm going to say something and far more time thinking about the facts and information I'm trying to convey. Not infrequently I pass my AI-co-authored writing through a secondary model to validate and verify (e.g. work in Claude and validate with Gemini). Using a secondary model expressly for critique and a devil's advocate opinion is hugely important.

Ahhh... Fuck... who cares... this will all be over soon enough with impending retirement.

The Ohio State Baseball (Official Thread)

On the transfer front.

We've only had 3 guys enter the portal. Andrew Edrington, Steven Cavaco and Miles Vandenhuevel.

Vandenhuevel did start most of games this past year in the OF, but only hit .206.

Edrington was a depth reliever who posted a 4.08 ERA with opponents hitting .275 off him in 18 appearances with not a great K/BB ratio (21/15)

Cavaco was a freshmen who had minimal playing time, hitting .130 in 46 at bats.\

Seems like Haire is doing a nice job with player retention now.

Not incoming transfer news yet. We did land a JUCO transfer though, Catcher Martin Serrano from Iowa Western, via Oregon State. Put up a .328/.399/.615 slash line at Iowa Western this season. Seems like a very good pickup, A good season at Iowa Western who is a higher level JUCO program and he was good enough out of HS to end up at Oregon State.

Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

I didn't have a chance to bet on a blown lead yesterday, but here's an addendum that specifically applies to the Reds.........when they score 12 runs in one game, go ahead and bet both the under and a 3-4 run defeat in the next game. Shit.....they won't score 4 more runs the rest of the series. I've already put a parlay on the under, the Mets by 3.5, and a HR from some dude who only has 2 so far this year.
