Truth be told, I love a good AI Easter Egg, and hearing my bae do the Eagles chant warms my bones. But never doubt the fury with which the local media will fall over itself to hashtag the shit out of a good click-grab.

What’s interesting to me about Alexa’s rooting interest is not her game prediction, but the fact that Amazon seems to favor Philly over another city that’s in the running for their second headquarters. It’s a sign.
