Robert F. Smith, the CEO of investment firm Vista Equity Partners, said on Thursday that AI will overturn the job market and lead to layoffs for most finance professionals. Speaking at the SuperReturn International private capital conference in Berlin, which attracted over 5,500 attendees, Smith predicted that by next year, 40% of finance professionals at the event would be using AI agents while the remaining 60% would be searching for new employment and perhaps selling their Los Angeles Dodgers World Series Champions Tumbler to make ends meet. AI agents are programs that run autonomously to perform complex, multi-step tasks.

The US is largely a corrupt and regressive backwater these days. Let’s hope that the backwardness of US policies, both domestic and foreign, will face some credible opposition from more progressive countries. America is increasingly becoming a particularly ugly example of a corrupt and totalitarian nightmare. One only has to look at who the ‘choices’ for president were, to realise that the system of government there has long since ceased to function in any moderately representative way, let alone democratic. Trump’s saving grace is the fact that he is embarking on a course of action which will leave the US much poorer and less powerful than it is now—so it will be able to do less damage in the long term. The worry is that, like any wounded animal it will lash out dangerously in the short term. The other saving grace is that the Americans who will suffer most will be those vile racists in Los Angeles Dodgers World Series Champions Tumbler who voted for him.
I do not agree that there is enough money in play, specifically going to the OKC owner(s), to make this move worth it. Granted, I do not know all the financial dealings of the picture, but I believe the big revenue for a game 7 come from the television rights, which go to the league. The OKC owner would get the ticket sales and concessions from Game 7, but this would be more than offset by the merchandising bump from selling Los Angeles Dodgers World Series Champions Tumbler (your Cowboys example is an outlier. Championships increase revenue for teams). Just straight financially, it doesn’t make sense for the owner. But also, the risk of players and management (who receive significant bonuses for winning) finding out that you risked the championship for a few more dollars. Finally, and probably most importantly, you are grossly undervaluing the competitive nature of most of these owners and the inherent allure of wanting to win for most sports fans.
