Would you like me to frame Miami, ole Miss, and Oregon as well?

No thanks. Anyone with a working understand of the sport knows Indiana had an unusually old roster this year. It’s fine, no (normal) person thinks that takes anything away from anyone, it’s just an observation. In any case, all this screeching about it online is largely fueled by people who are going to journey back to soccer and F1 when there’s no inspirational underdog in the sport next year.

That’s a lie and outright one at that.

What I like is that, even if it isn’t, as soon as one thinks about it for a few seconds, that number still implies a really really old roster lmao.

Indiana arguably has to be the best team in the CFP era.

Perhaps top 10, although one would want to properly credit JMU and CAL for properly aging the players to a ripe 25 and promptly turning them over to fill out the entire roster. Lest we forget, it takes a village.

Fair point, Joby doesn’t seem as much of a scam.

I don’t agree with the bill, but the commercial space is entirely occupied by overseas distributors with a dash of trust fund tools who get to larp as “entrepreneurs” because it’s impossible to screw the business model up if you have half a million to blow on marketing. The only real victims here are the end-consumers


Edit - I’m obviously neglecting the retailer side, which does include “mom and pop shops” as it were. Even still, having a hard time conjuring a sympathetic image there.

Ghost is a pretty sick band tho tbh

AI will certainly change how things are done in the long-run, but people are confusing that with the short-run economy (let’s say the next 15 years). Strictly going by objective info, 1) most polled businesses have opined that it isn’t significantly helpful, 2) overall consumer usage has reached what is at least a local peak and is declining (again, this could be a local peak but it’s worth noting along other points), and 3) there is simply no way to evaluate the circular economy involving OpenAI, Nvidia, etc. without one conclusion being that there is a staggering deficit in commercial sales & application (not getting into the whole “bubble” thing). And don’t get me started on the fact that the data centers required for any actual commercial impact are exponentially worse for the environment than the entirety of the fossil fuel industry.

What we’re dealing with presently is a very macabre theatre production. The only people spouting off shite like this are pencil-necks desperately trying to sell their (or their stock in) some BS “ai-powered parking app” or what-have-you.

So chill out with these daily threads. Half of the personal anecdotes posted are obviously fabricated btw.
