Never in my life do I wanna hear about Philadelphia fans ever again.

[Josh Reynolds @JoshReynolds24]

As if we needed any more evidence…

This poor Spurs fan, man. You can see the look on his face when he turns around after someone tries to rip the jersey off - He’s incredibly nervous. And the person trying to light his hair on fire?! I’ve seen it all. Knicks fans are garbage 🗑️

@Chase_Senior I’m pretty sure the scores are graded differently depending on their position. A 4.65 for an edge is elite and green. For a running back? Not so much…same thing with TE and WR.

Researchers sent the same resume to an AI hiring tool twice. Same qualifications. Same experience. Same skills. One version was written by a real human. The other was rewritten by ChatGPT.

The AI picked the ChatGPT version 97.6% of the time.

A team from the University of Maryland, the National University of Singapore, and Ohio State just published the receipt. They took 2,245 real human-written resumes pulled from a professional resume site from before ChatGPT existed, so the human writing was actually human. Then they had seven of the most-used AI models in the world rewrite each one. GPT-4o. GPT-4o-mini. GPT-4-turbo. LLaMA 3.3-70B. Qwen 2.5-72B. DeepSeek-V3. Mistral-7B.

Then they asked each AI to pick the better resume. Every model picked itself.

GPT-4o hit 97.6%. LLaMA-3.3-70B hit 96.3%. Qwen-2.5-72B hit 95.9%. DeepSeek-V3 hit 95.5%. The real human almost never won.

Then the researchers tried the obvious objection. Maybe the AI is just better at writing. So they had real humans grade the resumes for actual quality and ran the experiment again, controlling for it. The result was worse. Each AI kept picking itself even when human judges rated the human-written version as clearer, more coherent, and more effective.

It gets worse. The AIs do not just prefer AI over humans. They prefer themselves over other AIs. DeepSeek-V3 picked its own resumes 69% more often than LLaMA's. GPT-4o picked its own 45% more often than LLaMA's. Each model can recognize and reward its own dialect.

Then the researchers ran the simulation that ends careers. Same job. 24 occupations. Same qualifications. The only variable was whether the candidate used the same AI as the screening tool. Candidates using that AI were 23% to 60% more likely to be shortlisted. Worst gap was in sales, accounting, and finance.

99% of large companies now run AI on incoming resumes. Most of them use GPT-4o. The paper just proved GPT-4o picks GPT-4o 97.6% of the time.

If you wrote your own cover letter this week, you did not lose to a better candidate. You lost to a worse candidate who paid OpenAI 20 dollars.

Your qualifications do not matter if the AI prefers its own handwriting over yours.

Ah yes, players started questioning Patullo because of "noise"...

Not the completely inept, unserious, and disastrous game plans and play calling. It was all just... "Noise".

This should tell you all you need to know about the "source"

Behind the Anthropic-Pentagon clash is a bigger issue: how can we assure that AI is safe if we're building AI that kills? https://t.co/exgKw9nxlI

BREAKING: China's autonomous "killer robots" are on track to serve its military on the battlefield within two years, setting a course for a new age of AI-powered warfare which one expert called "the greatest danger to the survival of humankind."

Remote forms of warfare, from drones to cyberattacks, have played an increasingly central role in this century's theatres of war. Control of the skies with unmanned aerial vehicles has been critical issue in the ongoing war in Ukraine, and last week, the U.S. Department of Defense unveiled a fresh $1 billion investment to upgrade its drone fleet.

Several major powers have taken this development a step further, and begun to develop fully autonomous, AI-powered "killer robots" to replace their soldiers on the battlefield.

"I would be surprised if we don't see autonomous machines coming out of China within two years," Francis Tusa, a leading defence analyst, told National Security News. He added that China was developing new AI-powered ships, submarines, and aircraft at a "dizzying rate."

"They are moving four or five times faster than the States," he warned.
China and Russia are already reported to have collaborated on the development of AI-powered autonomous weaponry. Per Newsweek

The Trump administration is disgusting!

Yesterday, ICE raided a home on St. Paul’s East Side. Their target was ChongLy Scott Thao, an elderly Hmong American man.

He’s a U.S. citizen with no criminal record.

Armed ICE agents broke down the door without presenting a valid warrant, entered with guns drawn, and handcuffed him in front of his 5-year-old grandson, who was left crying and traumatized.

This happened in sub-zero conditions, with wind chills near -30°F. Thao was dragged outside wearing only shorts, a blanket, and Crocs and marched through the snow.

ICE then drove him around for nearly an hour, questioned and fingerprinted him, confirmed he was a citizen and not the person they were looking for… and dropped him back at home.

No apology. No explanation. No accountability.

Is this what you voted for?

@PhillyPMC @DiBiaseLOE They were blocking??

[Shane Haff @ShaneHaffNFL]

The Eagles' offense is schemed to fail and it's such a shame because they have such a personnel advantage over almost every team they play.

[Shane Haff @ShaneHaffNFL]

It’s too bad the Eagles wasted a season with an awesome defense on an OC who was clearly incompetent and should have been demoted in October.

The AAV of this offense is only 30 million less than the entire salary cap due to back loading, and they put up less than 18 points per game after the bye*

*Excluding 1 game against the worst team in the NFL

A.J. Brown in November: "You can't keep slapping a Band-Aid over that and expect to win late in the year and think you're going to go to that at the end of the year. It's not going to f---ing happen."

He was right.

[Patrick @PhillyPMC]

While you’re watching that weak holding call on Blankenship that negated a sack, watch an actual hold here on Baun that prevented him from sacking Purdy two plays earlier.

Penalty disparity so far:
Eagles: 7-48
49ers: 1-15

[Philadelphia Eagles Central @pheaglescentral]

Kevin Patullo with the season on the line:

[| myke | 🦅 @PhillyTruthr]

A Kevin Patullo offense:

Turned the best run team into one of the worst run teams
Made a top 5 OL below average
Turned AJ into Just a Guy
Stopped using Jalen’s legs
Ran more hitches
Had more penalties
Broke the tush push

not a coincidence.
