  1. Past hour
  2. that was great in Cedar Rapids where he does an impression from The Wire
  3. I posted the article a couple weeks ago, but there's been CEO's of bigtech like Satya Nadella of MS saying they don't have enough power for all the GPU's they've bought. And there's other reporting on warehouses full of millions of dollars of GPU's with no timeframe to be put to use. Really what it means is there's a shitload of economic opportunity costs that have been eaten by the AI bubble, and now we're running low on gas
  4. Not eating at either the French Restaurant, the Canadian Steakhouse, or the Pyramid?
  5. I'm not really any more concerned about the leadership of the forthcoming superintelligence than I am the world in which we live now, which is a pedophilic gerontocracy shadow-run by billionaires. If anything, I see the semi-"objective" guidance of a future superintelligence (or group of competing superintelligences) as potentially less existence-threatening than our current trajectory and even if we all die out the superintelligence will do some cool shit after we're dead (some kind of space-faring robofuture or something) meanwhile we're headed for just killing our planet and then nothing cool happening until some new life form evolves upwards. Trying not to be TOO Brisketledge in my thinking, but there it is. I'm old, and very stupid, but going out into the world as a day-to-day human I'm not sure how much room there is for generative AI, specifically, to "disrupt" our daily lives of humans dealing with humans without us instinctually rejecting it. It's 2025 and we've still got people stocking shelves overnight and running cash registers and taking our orders at drive-thrus and we fucking viscerally hate any humanoid interference. We're setting Waymos on fire (not gen AI, but there is plenty of room to bolt some "personality" shit Johnny Cab on top of the existing ML which we are already pissed about). They already tried robo-sweepers in grocery stores and people kept vandalizing them and pushing them over. Back office jobs? Cubicle functionaries? Middle/upper management? Sure, those are endangered, but that's invisible to us in the day-to-day. The ChatGPT shit above is terrifying and it's nice to see the de-personalization of it from 4o to the 5 series. That trend of removing personality from these things needs to continue and it should eventually be illegal for these things to ape humanity at all. If the autists creating this shit need a model for how to interact, make it like Spock or something.
  6. This is a stupid fvckin discussion. Colt awards: BCS National Champion (2005) Maxwell Award (2009) Davey O'Brien Award (2009) Manning Award (2009) Chic Harley Award (2009) Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award (2009) Quarterback of the Year (2009) 2× Walter Camp Award (2008, 2009) Archie Griffin Award (2008) SN College Athlete of the Year (2009) Unanimous All-American (2009) Consensus All-American (2008) 2× NCAA completion percentage leader (2008, 2009) Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year (2009) Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year (2006) First-team All-Big 12 (2009) 2× Second-team All-Big 12 (2006, 2008) Texas Longhorns No. 12 retired Texas Sports Hall of Fame (2024) Quinn awards/accolades: Awards and highlights Second-team All-SEC (2024) Second-team All-Big 12 (2023)
  7. Wow apparently I have strong views about the most recent season.
  8. Italian Retard Out Cruisin’ /accordingtoSNL
  9. A loss to aggy?
  10. Adios to 2025 with a birdie. Wordle 1,656 3/6 🟨🟨⬜⬜🟨 🟨🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  11. Also Putin, you're full of shit and I don't believe you.
  12. So you're just that clueless, huh?
  13. They're just middling now. Their advantage was running over the Pac 12 until Oregon and Washington took over. They showed promise in 2022 getting 11 wins but lost by a FG in the Pac 12 Championship to Utah and lost their shot at the playoff. After that, 8-5, 7-6, 9-4.
  14. I think I would avoid the big box stores and try the types that supply builders, like Capital Distributing. They can do a little work on pricing for you. And I think the big box stores have "special models" like Walmart gets special, slightly extra shitty, versions of TVs and such. ETA: FBS seems to be the Centex version of Capital.
  15. Yep. So many teams are after Marcus freeman. What does he have that sark doesn’t?
  16. The Alamo and the Music City Bowls gave me a little more hope for the survival of bowl games. All four teams seemed to want to be there, played hard (if sloppy), and the winners and fan bases of TCU and IL both seemed genuinely excited to win the games at the end. These can be a nice way to end the season and head into the long offseason with a feeling of optimism, even if that rarely carries over to the next year.
  17. Texas wins: who cares, Michigan was a mess, this game didn’t matter, I could have coached us to a win Texas loses: OMG FIRE SARK HOW DARE WE LOSE WE MISSED OUT ON 10 WINS OMG THE SKY IS FALLING
  18. Also for those not in the know, that is NOT the original Dewey actor. Kid quit acting about 15 years ago and is at Harvard for a master’s degree. They recast him The nice thing is he keeps in touch with Bryan and Jane
  19. Iceman replied to Derka's topic in Basketball

  20. What metric are you basing this on? I'd imagine the TV ratings may say differently.
  21. I was at a long time friends place this summer for a pool party for the kids. When it was over we sat around and solved the world's problems. Mostly inebriated. He is a federal law enforcement agent that was part of the SS under GWB and Obama. He transitioned to some other agency I have never heard of after Obama. He has traveled the world and been to some of the worst places and seen the worst things. He is decidedly conservative in many ways. He is college educated. He hustles his ass off. He and his wife own a couple of businesses. They do well for themselves. Not someone I would have thought would have had educated opinions on the Ukraine given his upbringing. I also don't perceive him as someone that has time, these days (full time jobs, three significant side hustles, wife, 4 girls under the age of 16), to stay abreast of the nuance we consume in this thread. At some point our conversation turned to Ukraine. He was adamant that the NATO expansion (or risk of NATO expansion) for Ukraine was a very considerable provocation for Russia. He waxed poetic on it for about 30 minutes. Based on years of traveling and working in the region and other insights from his time working for Presidents that had to deal with the region. I hadn't really encountered people in the wild who have a grasp on the region/war like those of us in this thread (of which I am at the bottom of the knowledge pool). I had plenty of points to assert - some of which resonated. But his general takeaway was - he couldn't fault Russia for going to war with Ukraine. While I disagreed with him then and now, I do think his arguments were compelling enough that I believe reasonable minds can differ on that. Was it a good idea? HELL NO. We both agreed.
  22. Don't forget my boy, Hubestank!!!
  23. and just so people remember: colt mccoy: •freshman: ranked 2nd in the rocky mountain news heisman poll before getting injured with 1-2 games left •sophomore: slump (injuries + team issues) •junior: heisman runner up (stolen from him) •senior: heisman runner up when you compare someone to colt, you’re talking about a two time heisman finalist who would also have been invited to the DAC as a freshman were it not for a late season neck injury. this is one of the best QBs in cfb history, and only his (gut wrenchingly unfair) lack of a heisman and NC (😡😭🤬) make people forget that.
