Brady's "wellness coordinator" allegedly "purports to possess significant organizational power" with the Raiders

NYT:

Like many players and coaches, [Maxx] Crosby was frustrated by the presence of Alex Guerrero, a staunch Brady ally whose official title is wellness coordinator.

Guerrero, who regularly attends practices and meetings, purports to possess significant organizational power, informing players of impending transactions and even indicating to staff members who don’t follow his instructions that their jobs may be at risk.

Guerrero is perceived to have a direct pipeline to Brady, who lives in Florida and serves as Fox’s lead NFL analyst, limiting his in-person presence.

The staff, smiling, refuses to check us in. They try to convince us instead to take a lovely excursion to the White Desert. So much nicer! So fun! Confused, annoyed, and clearly not taking the hint. The clerk finally says with a SERIOUS face. "You must leave Cairo." We get the hint. We go. (4)

(This part is fun for my family, because the last communication they hear from me is "Change of plans! We aren't staying in Cairo! They are taking us to out to the desert!") They get to see what happens that weekend on the news. We do not. It was called the Night of Fire. (6)

I'll never forget what the person on the other end of the phone said to me: "This is what I have been authorized to offer. I do not expect you to accept it, and if you do, frankly, you will be an asshole. The United States government will evacuate you You will have to leave your wife behind" (14)

Marathon launch cinematic directed by Harmony Korine (plus a bunch more Marathon stuff)

Grammarly professes to offer AIs based on "real experts" to instantly edit your writing?

The Grammarly summary:

Expert Review feels like having trusted expert reviewers by your side. This AI agent provides high-quality, domain-specific feedback based on publicly available expert content, helping you meet the expectations of your field with confidence.

...

Open a doc in Grammarly’s AI writing surface and click the icon for the Expert Review agent to check your text.

In practice it supposedly works like this:

Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

Another post:

Using Grammarly for the first time in forever ... WHAT? 

As a non-native speaker writing primarily in English, I used to use it to check prepositions, point out too long/convoluted sentences etc. 

It now offers to summon colleagues both living and dead to "expert review" the piece???

And speaking of intellectual property and privacy:

Photographers from the Associated Press, Imagn, and Getty refused to attend last month's Duke-Michigan game.

The game's organizer, The Gazelle Group, required them to sign a waiver giving the company a free license to photos taken at the game.
