In the interview with Intersections, Mark Cuban said Finley had no involvement in the Luka trade and that Kidd DID play a role. “That doesn’t justify it for our coach and general manager to stand up and trade our best player.”

With the existence of AI art, is my perspective shifting? Like, for instance, if somebody did a bad job photoshopping their album cover, I used to judge that as ‘not professional looking’. But now, since everyone can get a professional level art performance out of AI, and do so without acknowledging whether they used AI at all, if I can tell it’s made by hand, I like it more because of that. So has my bar for human made art lowered because AI exists and it now has added value for being human made to me? How will that scale in my life? How fast will my opinion change?

NEW: Influencer Khaby Lame signs a $975M deal, authorizes use of his personal brand, Face ID, voice ID, and behavioral models, enabling the creation of an AI-powered digital twin. Lame started posting on TikTok back in 2020 after being fired from his job. He now has over 350,000,000 followers across platforms. He signed an all-stock deal with 'Rich Sparkle Holdings' worth just shy of $1B. "[Lame] has also authorized the development of an AI-powered digital twin. A digital twin is a virtual replica of something real, whether it be a place, an object, or a person," Complex reported. "To create it, Lame will enable Rich Sparkle to copy his facial features, voice patterns, and behavior. This will allow the company to create multilingual content, or even virtual livestreams with the streamer's digital doppelganger." Rich Sparkle predicts the deal could generate over $4B in annual sales. Insane.

Just spoke with the fan that sat next to Patrick Dumont tonight… He said that Dumont told him: - He felt bad for the Luka trade - What he did wasn’t in the best interest of the franchise - He made a mistake and he’s trying to rectify it - Wants to win back the fanbase

Anthony Davis on how he sums up the season post-trade: "I'm just very appreciative I get to play the game of basketball. Appreciative to Dallas & the fanbase and my teammates of accepting me & welcoming me with open arms, given the situation. It's part of basketball. You can't control what goes on. ... The injury happened & I tried to do everything I could to get back on the floor to finish the season & try to carry us into the playoffs. I'm just appreciative."
