Jane has done a great job covering the hockey team the past few seasons. She's given Cornell hockey the best coverage it's had in the Sun in years. She's done so while also being a member of the Cornell field hockey team. She's been a backup goalie and has hardly played over her first three years. Kudos to her for putting in all the time even though she has mostly sat on the sidelines.

Is it so late for me to apply?  A shame that you're required to have a car it sounds like.  Eliminates a lot of kids.

I've dealt with dozens of student reporters over the years. Jane is in the very top tier. She first reached out to me while in high school wanting to help out. It grew from there.  I am hoping she will continue working with CHN for a long time, but like the others in that tier, she is too good to stay.

Not a lot of jobs in your business though, as you know. Hopefully she finds a good one.  Not too many Mollie Walkers who are good and have luck and timing—she parlayed a summer internship with Larry Brooks' semi retirement from beat writing to go directly from covering UMass to the NY Rangers beat at the NY Post.

Can AI do this job?  Can AI interview the coaches and the players?  Can AI understand team dynamics?  Can AI understand the thrill of a man down goal with less than two minutes left?  a game winning goal with 10 seconds left?

Can AI drive a car in the snow? in the snow at night?
 

Does AI have enough self-understanding that it can even ask those questions about AI?

AI can f itself.

AI can f itself.

It probably doesn't do that very well, either.

AI is a statistically-weighted revision of this.  It isn't intelligence.  It isn't consciousness.  It doesn't have the self-awareness of a bumble bee.  And it will never have any of these.  It isn't undeveloped cognition, it is utterly a zero value.  It's a probabilistic calculator.

It's a blank canvas for our anthroporphism.

the people seriously engaging on AI really need to reread Old Red's post

What exactly is the point of highlighting Jane's lack of playing time? She reads this forum btw

To me it meant she's not a quitter. If she's on a team she sacrifices for it regardless.

To the extent these things are true of AI, they are also true of humans. What we call human ingenuity, self awareness, or consciousness is really just us regurgitating data, similar to what an AI does.

Your post is a common retort about the limits of AI, but I think it's cope about a lack of human exceptionalism. Whatever limitations AI has now, it probably won't have them in 5-10 years (or sooner).

Exactly. Complimentary.

I get it, but seems pretty backhanded.

Anyway, just registering here my appreciation for Jane's coverage. My suggestion for this year's coverage is the more interviews/quotes of the team and coaches, the better. When Brandon Thomas worked for Cornell we'd get in-depth interviews with the freshmen each season. Would be great to recreate that, as one example.
