It’s like people who follow politics but only care about elections. They say “wow, this law will really shift the Governor’s chances in the next election” about a Governor who isn’t up for reelection for 3 more years! Maybe sometimes there are reasons other than getting votes!

Like this, serendipitously came across it after finishing a call with a sports body who is looking to commission a sports data collection/centralisation effort business case study. The long march toward watching sports through prism of a model dates back to made for tv innovation

Interesting observation! Reminds me of people focus on movie box office results as much if not more than the actual movies.

That’s a good analogy although sports are increasingly finite. The invasive effects of gambling are well documented and in some cases unstoppable - sure you can consume sports in a vacuum but most people do it for the social aspect, even if subconsciously.

No surprise someone so eager to cede human capacity for thought to the calculations of machines is only able to conceive of the world in the language of absolutes. Just a woeful misinterpretation of what I said. You should read more words as opposed to numbers

That is exactly what it is. That has been the cultural thrust of the tech industry's takeover of the neoliberal subject's deference to the objectivity of market data. The data rules. The data knows things about the world you could never know. It is the ideal mode of experience

I’ve been saying for a little while that we’re talking ourselves into “playing games/wins and losses aren’t a reliable metric for determining who is better” and while I see the logic that’s obviously dumb

watch the latest @pablofindsout interview with C. Thi Nguyễn, the author of The Score -How to Stop Playing Somebody Else’s Game
The philosophy of what data brings and what it can't, a really interesting discussion that directly echoes, relates to this take in broad terms
