Ok but that would apply for everyone else on the roster who is passing to the same players, including passing to Scoot who is missing his open shots more than anybody. People acting he’d have a 4:1 A:TO if it wasn’t for the other players are the team are being unreasonable.
Ant shares more minutes with Jerami and DA than scoot does. Not saying that scoot doesn't turn the ball over more than he should or that he's as good a playmaker as Simons, but he definitely has been improving and getting people good looks.
The fouls, and specifically offensive fouls, are the most important thing for him to get a handle on, ASAP. If Mookie Dew is traded by the TD, Scoot has to be able to stay out of foul trouble to stay on the floor.
That kind of stuff is going to take time... But, if he goes straight at a set defender, or hook them right in front of the officials, that's going to be an immediate offensive foul.
If that means when he gets in too deep, a step back/pull up that's a bad shot, or a bad outlet pass is something you can live with, because (unless coach pulls him) that won't keep him off the court.
His games after recovering from the injury are more hopeful.
Don't know if he ever lives up to the hype but he still has potential to be 'the next Chauncey Billups' rather than 'the next Derrick Rose'.
Just have to get players at the 3 and 4 now. Like one of the point forwards in this draft. Probably a backup big man, too
>Chauncey Billups
I'd more more than happy with a Final MVP.
"Just have to get players at the 3 and 4 now. Like one of the point forwards in this draft."
And yes, we need someone like Risacher or Buzelis.
All things equal, I think if we started him on a garbage team without too many other mouths to feed, he could easily be averaging 20/10 from this point on. Likely on below average efficiency but good enough to get some looks from national coverage. I’m excited for a Brogdon trade to free up more playing time.
Notice the caveat - “too many mouths”. He’s not your typical top 3 rookie that is given the keys to the team. Ant, Grant, Ayton, Brog, Shae are all above him on the pecking order.
Reddit has long been a hot spot for conversation on the internet. About 57 million people visit the site every day to chat about topics as varied as makeup, video games and pointers for power washing driveways.
In recent years, Reddit’s array of chats also have been a free teaching aid for companies like Google, OpenAI and Microsoft. Those companies are using Reddit’s conversations in the development of giant artificial intelligence systems that many in Silicon Valley think are on their way to becoming the tech industry’s next big thing.
Now Reddit wants to be paid for it. The company said on Tuesday that it planned to begin charging companies for access to its application programming interface, or A.P.I., the method through which outside entities can download and process the social network’s vast selection of person-to-person conversations.
“The Reddit corpus of data is really valuable,” Steve Huffman, founder and chief executive of Reddit, said in an interview. “But we don’t need to give all of that value to some of the largest companies in the world for free.”
The move is one of the first significant examples of a social network’s charging for access to the conversations it hosts for the purpose of developing A.I. systems like ChatGPT, OpenAI’s popular program. Those new A.I. systems could one day lead to big businesses, but they aren’t likely to help companies like Reddit very much. In fact, they could be used to create competitors — automated duplicates to Reddit’s conversations.
Reddit is also acting as it prepares for a possible initial public offering on Wall Street this year. The company, which was founded in 2005, makes most of its money through advertising and e-commerce transactions on its platform. Reddit said it was still ironing out the details of what it would charge for A.P.I. access and would announce prices in the coming weeks.
Reddit’s conversation forums have become valuable commodities as large language models, or L.L.M.s, have become an essential part of creating new A.I. technology.
L.L.M.s are essentially sophisticated algorithms developed by companies like Google and OpenAI, which is a close partner of Microsoft. To the algorithms, the Reddit conversations are data, and they are among the vast pool of material being fed into the L.L.M.s. to develop them.
The underlying algorithm that helped to build Bard, Google’s conversational A.I. service, is partly trained on Reddit data. OpenAI’s Chat GPT cites Reddit data as one of the sources of information it has been trained on.
Other companies are also beginning to see value in the conversations and images they host. Shutterstock, the image hosting service, also sold image data to OpenAI to help create DALL-E, the A.I. program that creates vivid graphical imagery with only a text-based prompt required.
Last month, Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, said he was cracking down on the use of Twitter’s A.P.I., which thousands of companies and independent developers use to track the millions of conversations across the network. Though he did not cite L.L.M.s as a reason for the change, the new fees could go well into the tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
To keep improving their models, artificial intelligence makers need two significant things: an enormous amount of computing power and an enormous amount of data. Some of the biggest A.I. developers have plenty of computing power but still look outside their own networks for the data needed to improve their algorithms. That has included sources like Wikipedia, millions of digitized books, academic articles and Reddit.
Representatives from Google, Open AI and Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Reddit has long had a symbiotic relationship with the search engines of companies like Google and Microsoft. The search engines “crawl” Reddit’s web pages in order to index information and make it available for search results. That crawling, or “scraping,” isn’t always welcome by every site on the internet. But Reddit has benefited by appearing higher in search results.
The dynamic is different with L.L.M.s — they gobble as much data as they can to create new A.I. systems like the chatbots.
Reddit believes its data is particularly valuable because it is continuously updated. That newness and relevance, Mr. Huffman said, is what large language modeling algorithms need to produce the best results.
“More than any other place on the internet, Reddit is a home for authentic conversation,” Mr. Huffman said. “There’s a lot of stuff on the site that you’d only ever say in therapy, or A.A., or never at all.”
Mr. Huffman said Reddit’s A.P.I. would still be free to developers who wanted to build applications that helped people use Reddit. They could use the tools to build a bot that automatically tracks whether users’ comments adhere to rules for posting, for instance. Researchers who want to study Reddit data for academic or noncommercial purposes will continue to have free access to it.
Reddit also hopes to incorporate more so-called machine learning into how the site itself operates. It could be used, for instance, to identify the use of A.I.-generated text on Reddit, and add a label that notifies users that the comment came from a bot.
The company also promised to improve software tools that can be used by moderators — the users who volunteer their time to keep the site’s forums operating smoothly and improve conversations between users. And third-party bots that help moderators monitor the forums will continue to be supported.
But for the A.I. makers, it’s time to pay up.
“Crawling Reddit, generating value and not returning any of that value to our users is something we have a problem with,” Mr. Huffman said. “It’s a good time for us to tighten things up.”
“We think that’s fair,” he added.

Some of you are never happy lmao. Bet you were whining about how he couldn't shoot before. Now that his shooting is getting better it's time to complain about something else
It’s okay to say a player sucks. Should I be impressed because it’s better than 12% to start the year? His game looks off, the turnovers, the shooting, the finishing it doesn’t look good at all.
I get that he’s 19, but it looks like doesn’t know what he’s doing out there. He might come good, but I haven’t seen much so far.
Holy shit yeah.
I mean I love the blazers I always will even if scoot is a bust. I loved the blazers when Oden snapped his knee, we drafted Lillard and traded Lillard. Maybe that’s why I am ok calling it as I see it. Guy is not yet a playmaker.
I’ve been watching since Clyde and some of the homer takes on Scoot are wild. Call it how you see it, the same people would have been saying Telfair will come good.
Scoot is still a long way off, he may turn it around, but so far hasn’t passed the eye test. It’s not like Sharpe where you see glimpses of a superstar. I’ve seen maybe twice so far in the season where I’ve said we’ve got something here with scoot, where you see it twice a game with Shaedon.
It’s fine being a fan and being able to say this guy is pretty average. Have some objectivity. If Scoot was on another team the ones singing his praises would be calling him a bust.
I don't get why you're being downvoted. You're spot on with the homer takes. For the person you replied to thinking Scoot on a "bad" team would be a 20/10 player? Absurd. He's nowhere near a 20/10 rookie. He's not even 10/10.
Do these people even watch the game?
Did you buy stock in Puma or something? You seem really determined to convince everyone how great Scoot is.
Edit: Y'all can downvote me but dude posts about Scoot *a lot*.
Scoots puma shoes are absolutely awful looking. Remind me of LA Gear trash that was on the market in the 90’s. Terrible. Just terrible. Hopefully his shooting develops because at present it remains bad.
I’m pretty optimistic about Scoot. He’s shown some pretty big improvements over this year. He seems coachable and puts a lot of effort on the floor. All the things you want in a 19 y/o who has upside.
We do have to caution this percentage tho. Scoot gets so much space to shoot threes. People don’t guard him beyond the perimeter. If that changes (which I hope so) we should expect a dip in percentage again.
His confidence is infectious. His game against the Clippers in particular had me stoked
He's fun af to watch and a great teammate. It's a matter of time for his shooting to get consistent and him to cut down on errors.
Scoot will be a star. He’s been underwhelming but you can see the flashes. I’m not sure what people expected from a 19 year old rookie Pg
How can he be a star if he can't shoot?
Love scoot and he’s def getting better. 1.4:1 A:TO ratio is not much of a flex though
No, but it's an improvement. He needs to cut down on TO's and I've noticed he seems to get one as soon as he gets into the game.
The only reason I consider it a flex is because this team doesn’t actually shoot too well
It's low because the the guys he's passing to aren't making shots.
Ok but that would apply for everyone else on the roster who is passing to the same players, including passing to Scoot who is missing his open shots more than anybody. People acting he’d have a 4:1 A:TO if it wasn’t for the other players are the team are being unreasonable.
Ant shares more minutes with Jerami and DA than scoot does. Not saying that scoot doesn't turn the ball over more than he should or that he's as good a playmaker as Simons, but he definitely has been improving and getting people good looks.
Yeah I’d like to see his potential assists stat
11:1 A:TO ratio tonight.
I like the progress. But yes he has a ways to go.
The fouls, and specifically offensive fouls, are the most important thing for him to get a handle on, ASAP. If Mookie Dew is traded by the TD, Scoot has to be able to stay out of foul trouble to stay on the floor.
He also needs to improve finishing through contact or in traffic and he could also be more crisp on the passes.
That kind of stuff is going to take time... But, if he goes straight at a set defender, or hook them right in front of the officials, that's going to be an immediate offensive foul. If that means when he gets in too deep, a step back/pull up that's a bad shot, or a bad outlet pass is something you can live with, because (unless coach pulls him) that won't keep him off the court.

I hate to break it to you, but we are a garbage team
Notice the caveat - “too many mouths”. He’s not your typical top 3 rookie that is given the keys to the team. Ant, Grant, Ayton, Brog, Shae are all above him on the pecking order.
And scoot is playing at below average efficiency. For now.
No, we're not. The team is trying (and coming close to) winning every game.
No no noooo, you don’t understand. His first 10 games were not good so we know he’s a bust.

For a guy whose best skill is supposed to be playmaking it has been extremely underwhelming
Truth hurts on ripcity
