As the NFL prepares for the final day of the 2026 Scouting Combine, multiple people currently working for NFL franchises reportedly have a fear that their positions could potentially be supplanted by AI...
quote:

“The two biggest areas of concern are, for now, scouting and quality control,” Florio wrote. “Many of the tasks currently performed by a team’s staff of scouts can be performed by AI. As one G.M. explained it, the reports generated by AI based on the various data fed into the program were eerily thorough and accurate.”

“Could AI eventually trim, and possibly supplant, the analytics department in each team?” he asked. “If all they’re doing is tracking data and refining percentages and tweaking formauls, AI can do that more quickly, and more cheaply.”

“Eventually, the head coach could simply become the conduit for the decisions made by an AI program as to every situation that unfolds during a game,” the PFT founder speculated.

A convolutional neural network that processes tendencies would absolutely be an asset for any team willing to implement it. If I were LSU, id give a million dollar grant to the Math/CS department to come up with a ML algorithm to break down film

Wonder if AI can explain the rationale behind the nfl’s decision to fine coaches on the sidelines for mask infringements during covid, yet there was seemingly no risk and no masking requirements for players inside the white lines of the field. How did covid know to stay off the field?

When I first heard of these Tech billionaires talking about a basic income for everyone, whatever they called it, I said BS. But when AI can do most jobs better and cheaper...what are those who are replaced gonna do? We're talking 10's of millions of peeps.

One thing we could do is instead of the criminal banksters printing up money and giving it to their buddies on Wall St. (quantitative easing) to enter the economy...is give it to us instead and let us put it into the economy. I can't remember if it was Greenspan or another one of those guys, but they said that dropping that money from helicopters all over the USA would be just as good as the criminal way they're doing it now.

When most of the world can't buy food...any of your latest riots are gonna look like kids playing in the park in comparison.

Yea bc people now a days are so good at saving and spending money wisely. people complain about the cost of living but are willing to spend double on food just so they can have it delivered instead of picking it up themselves. We’ve traded affordability for convenience.
