They swear that the benefits of Ai are massive -- the ability to solve complex problems like climate, income inequity, disease, agricultural efficiency and basic human fulfillment in ways we literally haven't imagined. And yet it's so easy to see how it would get co-opted by the worst opportunists. If history is any indicator, the first wave of innovation will come from the porn industry.

Not to veer into P&R territory, but when Deion came to Colorado from an HBU and drew a lot of haters with him, Colorado gained a major profile and rooting interest from Black Americans, including those with no previous college allegiance and many who didn't otherwise follow football at all. Deion was a huge mainstream media story the first few games of the year, with millions of dollars swirling around him and the University, but it dropped off the map when Colorado plummeted to the bottom of the conference. I don't see the hype coming back, even if CU adds two wins and gets to a bowl game. If he sticks around and genuinely builds the program, he'll deserve the respect. That just feels like a long shot right now.

The official NBA review of the refs revealed some missed calls that went against both the Sixers and the Lakers in the final minutes. They also found some missed calls that went against the Knicks and the Nuggets. So yeah. It's about being down 2-0.

Yeah, I think Deion's leaving will be orchestrated by Deion

By this logic, do you reinstate the wins forfeited by Alabama, Ohio State, SMU and others for simply being years ahead of the curve?

If Colorado is losing players because better players have jumped them on the depth chart, Colorado might be pretty good. If there's something toxic about the program and the leadership that's making them flee, Colorado will be a dumpster fire. I think it's fair to say that a season without improvement would signal the end of Deion's run.

I gotta think our Athletic Department has earned some credibility for its non football success in recent years.

Always interesting to hear what the NBA players think when they get to be anonymous: https://theathletic.com/5433545/2024/04/22/nba-player-poll-2024-lebron-jordan-goat-celtics-nuggets-rudy-gobert-timberwolves/?campaign=5888993&source=dailyemail&userId=11186373

I don't have a dog in the hunt anymore, but those two games yesterday were pretty damn entertaining.

I don't get it. What's the "fine people" corollary here?

I don't expect you to find a post to back that up, as you generally pride yourself on your laziness. It's sad, because I took a few seconds to consider your predictable response and chose words that would make it clear that concern for the people of Palestine doesn't equate to supporting Hamas, and can even be the opposite. Now I will never get those few seconds back.

University cops did not intervene on the white nationalists waving Confederate flags at Charlottesville, and indeed the standard for protecting free assembly has been pretty consistent for both wings. University administrators definitely let themselves get boxed in on the pro-Palestine, anti-Israel outburst, and if you'll recall they either resigned or walked their wishy-washy declarations back per the pressure from their own liberal ecosystem rather than a viral post from Pradheep Shankar. I'm trying to imagine a right wing protest against transgenders, featuring a rainbow flag being pulled down to a cheering crowd. That would be pretty ugly. Cops wouldn't intervene, but I can easily imagine social media blowing up about it, applying the same standard of outrage as Pradheep here. Also, minor niggle, but the police in fact did arrest 47 protestors and the action was immediately condemned by the President of the United States. As a trade-off, could we ask Republicans to openly declare that casting doubt on the legality of the 2020 election is both unfounded and detrimental to the nation? And if you want an equivalency to the Yale douchebags, encourage the farther right wingnuts to lay low on declaring the J6 prisoners hostages and the opposing party cannibalistic pedophiles. Yale Arrests Pro-Palestine Student Protesters As Tensions Escalate On Ivy League Campuses Zachary Folk Forbes Staff Police began clearing out the protester encampment at Yale University on Monday morning, the Yale Daily News reported, as tensions mount between protesters and leaders concerned about growing antisemitism on college campuses, which had prompted the White House to condemn “calls for violence and physical intimidation targeting Jewish students.” About 47 protesters were arrested at the encampment at Yale’s Beinecke Plaza on Monday morning, before being charged with misdemeanor trespassing and placed on shuttle buses, Yale Police Chief Anthony Campbell told the student newspaper. Police cleared the plaza encampment by about 8 a.m., but more than 300 protesters gathered in the streets and blocked a key intersection near the plaza. Videos circulating on social media show police officers entering the camp and instructing protesters to leave early on Monday morning: “we will give you time to leave, if you do not leave, you will be arrested.” The Yale Police Department did not immediately return a request for comment from Forbes. The Yale arrests come after over 100 student protesters were arrested at another encampment on Columbia University’s campus on Thursday—which was quickly reorganized over the weekend. WHAT ARE THE PROTESTERS CALLING FOR? Both the Columbia and Yale protests were organized to call on their respective universities to divest from arms manufacturers that provide weapons to the Israeli military and other companies tied to the state. Columbia College Student Council previously approved a measure asking the university to divest from “companies and academic institutions that profit from or engage in the State of Israel’s acts of occupation, apartheid, and genocide,” the Columbia Spectator reported, but the student government tabled the motion after pushback from administrators. Last week, Yale’s Advisory Committee on Investor Responsibility approved a resolution to divest from companies that sell assault weapons to the public, but declined to divest from military arms manufacturers, rebuking protesters. “Military weapons manufacturing for authorized sales did not meet the threshold of grave social injury, a prerequisite for divestment, because this manufacturing supports socially necessary uses, such as law enforcement and national security,” the university said in a statement.

I do believe that pollsters have identified Russia and abortion as liabilities for the 2024 elections, and the Republican strategists are acting accordingly.

Impressive. But how long can you keep a monopoly on the technology? If I'm an enemy of the United States and I have a microwave weapon, I'm not aiming it at our defense facilities, I'm taking out civilian internet and cell-phone servers and watching the entire nation panic. Has anyone heard about Stuxnet? It was an incredibly successful piece of malware created for the U.S. military, who continues to deny its existence. It was so good that it was able to destroy Iran's nuclear centrifuges and make it look like an internal glitch, leaving no trace of the foreign attack. It was a collaboration with Israel, who got so excited about the success that they doubled-down against the wishes of the U.S. At that point, computer vendors got involved on behalf of Seimens and Microsoft, unaware of the top-secret origin of the malware, so they unwittingly outted the U.S. and Israel as the culprits. Stuxnet was devised by the NSA under Bush and expanded under Obama. Fascinating documentary on the subject called Zero Days. Worth watching.

Tattoos are one thing. Tattoos that loudly announce your satanic leanings are another. Giant nose rings and face studs are yet another thing. You don't do any of this if you don't like reveling in negative attention, especially from the people you have no intention of impressing. That's why that clip feels like clickbait. She knows exactly what she's doing.
