And The Onion has tried to take on Luka as a subject. If Luk.AI really is indistinct from Luka, then what does that say about Luka whose value as an athlete relies on muscle and bone and sinewy synapses? At its worst, the pitch is dystopian, and at its best, boilerplate parody for The Onion. Anytime a celebrity, whether athlete or rapper, becomes involved in what feels like a short sale the individual can’t help to come across a tad bit diminished, like there is no there there.
I am as dated as anyone– Eric Schlosser included–, but it falls right in line with NFT culture, or whatever else can be peddled as art these days. Make some money, collect data, provide a tech company with research and development opportunities that cross some event horizon, swallow up what remains of our collective humanity outside the carbon footprints.Īdmittedly, this all feels a bit overcooked the way membership in the Burger King Kids’ Club must have tasted to discerning parents in the ‘90s. “Epic’s Unreal Engine 5 ecosystem will enable Luk.AI to exist across short-form video, games, film & television, and emerging XR mediums”, which will leave the real Luka to work on trick shots and video games. Luk.AI can even be “augmented with neural network technologies trained with real-world facial animations from Luka’s performance capture.” This is how WestWorld either begins or ends. They both like trick shots and video games. Luk.AI is designed to be indistinguishable from Luka. Have you encountered Epic’s Unreal Engine 5 MetaHuman framework? If you have, then maybe you have encountered Luk.AI.
Don’t pull on his cape and all that, and so we are here to consider how he could be digitally flattened. He is a first name only, a force to behold, a one-man wrecking crew, the subject of a Jim Croce song. We’re not really here to discuss this film by the way, and if we had more time, we could intricately lay out how Luka Doncic could just as easily be the 9 ball as the player. The only ball that means anything, that wins it, is the 9.” He opens with a declarative statement: “Nine-ball is rotation pool.” He follows it up with two more declaratives, but the complexity unspools like a thread of smoke from that burning cigarette: “The balls are pocketed in numbered order. These are objects whose use wears them thin. To the right sits a rubbed-down blue chalk cube. But can he thrive while still letting go of the controller?Ī cigarette burns on the screen’s left side. Luka Doncic plays basketball like a video game, piling up stats and achievements.

Overall, the Mavericks lost but Doncic looked amazing and that is all that is necessary for a successful preseason game. That being said it would be better if he continued to show flashes of improvement as the regular season approaches. Dorian Finney-Smith did not score in the first game, but no one is concerned about him. This does not matter as much as some might believe. If he can maintain this scoring off the bench, his offense will outweigh any concern over his defense. He was 8-of-12 from the field and 3-of-6 from three. Wood’s offense has been as special as advertised. 23: Number of points that Christian Wood scored in 19 minutes That does not appear to be a concern this season. Doncic started each of the last two seasons in less than ideal shape which has led to the Mavericks getting off to less than ideal starts. Who wins preseason games is much less important than how important players look. He scored 16 points on 6-of-8 shooting including 3-of-5 three point shooting. He was as relentlessly amazing as he has ever been. 3 observations after the Dallas Mavericks fall to the Orlando Magic, 110-105 14: Amount of points the Mavericks outscored the Magic by with Doncic on the courtĭoncic played 18 minutes to dip his toes into the waters of a new season.
