@dannykanell@CFBKings I doubt pre-season rankings will go away.. I guess taking them away could hurt ad revenue since no one will know what match up to watch.
I say we should have more pre-season ranking lists that are official so every match up is top 25. Let the CFB playoff committee sort it out.
Our house in Toronto had this fancy glassed wine cellar, but we are not big wine drinkers.
Anyways, it had good climate control so here is my rack cellar.
UNDISCLOSED PAID MEDIA:
The salaries of reporters, Harry Booth and Billy Perrigo, were paid by Doomsday cultist Dustin Moskovitz's foundation Coefficient Giving via the Tarbell Fellowship.

METR, the org promoted by Dario Amodei to promote "AI safety", raised $71M over the past 6 months -- a sudden *5x* jump.
I audited all public records.
We know only where $350K of $71M came from.
We don't know how the premier AI safety org is funded.

David Sacks reveals the Anthropic ‘whistle blower’ Jacob Coxon asked to come on The All In pod but cancelled last minute
“This guy Jacob Coxon reached out to you [Jason], said ‘hey I want to come on the pod’, and then he canceled this morning because maybe he figured out it'd be a tough interview.”
“If he had come on the pod, the questions I'd want to ask are, who connected you with the Wall Street Journal? This was a relatively low-to-mid-level employee, he had been there for six weeks to three months. This is not something that'd be covered by the Wall Street Journal in this way.”
“This was something that was teed up. He's clearly working with these doomer groups, they're going for maximum amplification.”
NEWS: Jensen Huang says ex-Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon's tweets are "outlandish, deeply untrue, arrogant and ignorant of the industry’s safety work."
sorry to blackpill but this is genuinely terrible news
the whole “AI is going to kill everyone” panic is becoming a massive regulatory capture attempt by the largest AI labs (exactly what you’d expect)
this would only slow down american AI while everyone else keeps building
you can't stop AI. the only question is who gets there first
The good ending to this is that they put OpenAI into a pissing contest. You know what would prove that they solved it themselves? Solving a few more millennium problems
How hard could it possibly be, anyways

Yeah, it was an op. Stay frosty, friends.

- Human moderators -> My own moderation on all my sites with @xAI (saves ~$10,000/mo)

I think I have reached my final limit of replacing my SaaS services as I have these left, but that'd mean becoming an ICANN registrar (I don't want 😁), managing my own email (I don't want), managing my own hard drives at home in a storage (I don't want) and managing my own servers at home too (I don't want) and running my own GPU rig at home (I don't want):
- Cloudflare Domains
- Cloudflare Email Sending
- Cloudflare R2 Storage
- Backblaze B2 for backups
- Hetzner for all my servers for all my sites (VPS)
- xAI for all LLMs for all my sites (so many things like moderation, writing emails, anything)
