Cuban loves to pose as some tech-adjacent wise guy and he’s like “ask an LLM what it thinks about this bill that’s been discussed ad-nauseam by think tanks” as if the result won’t simply mirror said think tanks who provide heaps of “high quality” training data to these labs.

[Chance @chancedonaho]

I feel nothing when I read this. Just mindless promotion of his investments. If you “ask Claude” about a single-payer bill, the training data that consists of much more anti-single-payer academic literature than the contrary will determine the output. It’s meaningless. Who cares.

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

Let me help rephrase for you Bernie.

Need a loan for college so you can party for a semester and drop out? Taxpayers will loan you money for it.

Need an SBA loan for your business ? Taxpayers will guarantee it.

For a house ? Taxpayers will guarantee it. And local gov will give you money for your first down payment !

Get sick or are in an accident and you can’t afford your deductible, insurance company denied prescribed care or are uninsured ?

You are on your own 😤

Let me add Bernie, the one debt not a single one of us will ever pay off till the day we die ? Our health insurance premiums

And before you go in and on about single payer, ask @claudeai to take a look at your proposed Single Payer legislation.

You want the Sec of HHS to run it. You can’t have a political appointee run an apolitical position

And you expect every provider and doctor to accept whatever rate is set by Medicare. Big hospitals don’t know their costs. They couldn’t do a BOM for any procedure. They have negligible transparency.

If they don’t know their costs, and you don’t know their costs, how is it possible for taxpayers, caregivers and patients to get a fair deal ?

And the concept of “every other country does it “ ignores the fact that they all converted decades and decades ago, long before you and your peers allowed the extreme vertical integration we face now.

Which leads to the question. @BernieSanders , why have you not advocated for the Break Up Big Medicine Bill ?

[Delicious Tacos @Delicious_Tacos]

I’m the CEO of a hot dog company. I’ve worked on hot dogs for 10 years. And *I* wasn’t prepared for what I’ve just seen. Your life is about to change.

So what can you do?

Buy as many hot dogs as you can. Buy stock in hot dog companies.

@adamdotdev @davidgan They are related (though maybe not this particular one) insofar as screenshots or short clips from vibe-coded games or SAAS are often coupled with some dramatic caption implying that “it’s over” or something of the like.

[Chance @chancedonaho]

@JBudDavis The talent composite has no adjusted/updated ratings for transfers and no mechanism to scale ratings based on experience.

Mendoza is an elite veteran QB - all the talent composite sees is a 2 star recruit who adds a fraction of the points that a 5 star true freshman does

[Chance @chancedonaho]

@devyntyo @itsmemaxo @NashTalksTexas @_delconte Yeah. Vandy’s wins came vs teams who ended up being weaker than most would have probably expected.

That could happen, but with a&m and OU on schedule every year (and 9 conference games going forward) I’d imagine 10-2 should get it done most years.

[Chance @chancedonaho]

@itsmemaxo @NashTalksTexas @_delconte They should be able to compete (I think they did both times they’ve played recently)

I want these games to be played. But rationally speaking, games of these caliber are a coin-flip at best.

Nothing about this is advantageous if a more risk-averse approach increases your odds.

[Chance @chancedonaho]

@itsmemaxo @NashTalksTexas @_delconte The Florida loss is the “problem” because it’s the third loss. Some teams schedule to ensure they are 90% likely to go undefeated out of conference to avoid this problem.

[Chance @chancedonaho]

@itsmemaxo @NashTalksTexas @_delconte That’s not the point.

Had Texas played and beaten a cupcake like Wazzu or OkSt - and were 10-2 with 3 top 15 wins and one of their losses on the road to a top 3 team - they would likely be in.

[HornSports @HornSports]

Pretty sweet deal Notre Dame has:

-Play 2 good teams, lose both
-1 win over a top 25 team
-Play a bunch of garbage ACC and G5 teams
-Get ranked ahead of a team they lost to

Great system in place

[Brett Usher @UsherNBA]

all these years later and we just watched them score 30 on 12-of-19, 49 on 16-of-26, and 41 on 13-of-25 in wins on a Friday night

[LeBron James @KingJames]

That A&M cop needs to suspended! That was premeditated and corny AF!! 🤦🏾‍♂️. He went out his way to start some shit. Do better man

[Chance @chancedonaho]

@BurnerRon @BillyReinhardt @___ThePack That roster was not balanced after the harden trade and had Ben Simmons making $40M and sitting on the bench lol.

This is obviously assuming that wouldn’t be the case had they kept harden and continued to tweak their roster.

[StatMuse @statmuse]

The old guys tonight:

Steph — 49 PTS | 9 3P
Harden — 41 PTS | 14 REB | 11 AST
KD — 30 PTS | 5 REB

Uncs still got it.

[Chance @chancedonaho]

I think social media has done irreparable harm in people's perception of risk in daily life.

There is an alarmingly large sect of paranoid people defending this maniac who chased an 11 year old kid down the block to murder him because "it's 2025"

[NBC News @NBCNews]

An 11-year-old boy was pronounced dead after he was shot while running from a home after having rung its doorbell, Houston city officials say. The boy had been ringing doorbells and running as part of a game known as “doorbell ditch,” the city said in a statement. https://t.co/IEkTM1NRLx

starting a political campaign where my sole promise is to build more free indoor basketball courts because why is it so difficult to find one

[☀️👀 @zei_squirrel]

a fanatical Zionist asks Chomsky if he believes Iran having a nuclear program is an existential threat. Chomsky replies: No, the existential threats to the region and humanity are Israel and the US

Stocking up on elite socks and cargo shorts in the meantime
