@CoachAdragna These freshmen are better than advertised. They will play a vital role on this team this year.

I agree with Mark. Robots do not need to be humanoid at all. Robots should be able to carry a box and open a door without setting the box down. We need to work smarter, not harder, even in the land of robots.

[Big Brain AI @realBigBrainAI]

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban predicts humanoid robots will "fail miserably" within a decade:

While most of the industry is racing to build robots shaped like humans, Mark Cuban thinks the entire premise is wrong.

"I think everybody's making this push for humanoid robots. I think they might have a five-year lifespan and then they'll fail miserably. Maybe 10."

His prediction covers more than just the machines. Asked whether he's referring to the companies or the devices, he answers: "Both. Both."

His reasoning challenges the industry's core assumption:

"Everybody defaults to well, we live in a human world and humanoids will take the place of humans for various functions particularly in the home. And I think there's just no chance."

The evidence? Look at the places where automation already works at massive scale:

"If you look at warehouses and what Amazon does, they're not humanoid robots carrying boxes. They're robots that are designed to fit the environment."

But what about homes? Cuban has heard the counterargument that "a house is a house. You need a humanoid," and he rejects it entirely:

"I think houses are going to be redesigned completely so that whatever the optimal robot is that allows it to simplify the house, that's where houses will go."

@mcuban imagines robots shaped more like spiders or ants, working in houses where the pantry, refrigerator, and washing machines are hidden behind the garage.

"That way you could redesign it so all the living space was for people because you know that the robots aren't going to be full form humanoids. They're going to be whatever the optimal shape is."

His conclusion captures the whole thesis in one line:

"You design the house to fit the robot and you design the robot to fit the house."

@Pitcrewprincess Nope. It's a show about nothing. How can nothing be funny?

If I was the Olympic coach, Jordan would have been sent packing. Nobody should be above the team.

Charles Barkley Says Michael Jordan Didn’t Want Isiah Thomas on the Dream Team

Shannon Sharpe: The Dream Team was supposed to take the best 12 players. They ended up taking 11 NBA players, and they took Christian Laettner.

lA lot of people believe that Isiah Thomas was one of the best 11 NBA players. A lot of people believe, Charles, he was better than John Stockton.

Charles Barkley: Uh, I think he was a better player than John Stockton.

Shannon Sharpe: Then why didn’t he get to go on the team?

Charles Barkley: Number one, that is an amazing question because I’m so glad I get a chance to straighten this out.

They never asked me personally about Isiah Thomas, probably Isiah Thomas should have been on the team.

They asked Michael Jordan did he have anything to do with it. It actually just came out in the last year where he said, “I’ll play as long as Isiah don’t play.”

Shannon Sharpe: Well, he wasn’t going to be on the team. Whoever Michael didn’t want on the team wasn’t going to be on the team.

Charles Barkley: Yeah. They were not going to be on the team.

@waitwhat I wonder how many lives have been saved due to FSD. We need mass adoption ASAP. A great driver is priceless.

SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell and her husband have announced that they are donating ~$325 million of SpaceX stock to Trump Accounts for more than two million children across the U.S.

Every one of those kids will now have a direct stake in a company whose mission is the most ambitious in human history: to make life multi-plantary 🚀

@mrmikeMTL The Bourbon industry. I bet those meetings are hilarious.

Does anyone actually love meetings? I'm in the just e-mail me camp.

Mark Cuban reveals why he carries multiple phones

“They’re on different networks. Certain apps run on Android or better on Android, that don’t run on the iPhone”

“I live my life on email. I don’t sit in front of a computer, I’m gone most of the day”

“I hate meetings. I don’t like giving them, I don’t like sitting in them”

“If you want a meeting with me, you better be doing something for me that makes it worth my while because otherwise, just send me an email”

[Mark Taflinger 🏀🏈 @mtaflinger]

Yes!

@VinnysCorner1 The all time hit king Pete Rose

[Mark Taflinger 🏀🏈 @mtaflinger]

@OleTimeHardball I miss going to the ballpark and not seeing Pete Rose on deck. What a lovely game it would be if everyone played it as hard as Rose.

@TomCrean Excellent post, Coach! I hope these kids never lose sight of the importance of a good teacher in their lives. It is priceless.

@its_Lexieroy After just paying my property taxes, I would support this for sure. I'm not sure why it matters whether a 65+ owns their primary residence outright. Either way, it will probably never happen.

@TomCrean @Reds @MLB It was such a treat as a young kid watching the Big Red Machine games, along with Bobby Knight's Hoosiers. So many legendary moments. I've always felt sorry for those too young to witness it. It was a special time.
