The Afroman Trial.

-Cops raid Afromans house for bullshit reasons.
-Steal money, break his door, fuck his house up.
-No criminality found whatsoever, no charges at all pressed on Afroman.
-Afroman spends the next 3 years making songs that make fun of all the officers involved by name, even using footage of the raid from his own CCTV cameras.
-Songs had titles like "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch" and "Lick Em Low Lisa" accusing one of the officers of being a lesbian and sleeping with the other officers wives.
-During the raid one officer looked like he was about to eat some lemon pound cake sitting on Afromans counter, Afroman made a whole album calling the officer fat.
-The cops get mad and file a lawsuit for defamation.
-Afroman turns up to court in a whole American flag suit.
-Officers performatively mald and cry while listening to the songs really trying to oversell how badly the songs upset them.
-One officer was suing because Afroman made a whole song about him saying he was fucking the officers wife. When the officer was asked if Afroman was really fucking his wife, he said "I don't know". Nuking his own case and establishing that there is a non-zero chance that Afroman might actually be fucking his wife.
-As his only witness for the trial, Afroman brought a deputies EX FUCKING WIFE.
-The jury ruled completely in favour of Afroman.

This entire thing has been a great win for free speech and absolutely fucking hilarious.

The math on this project should mass-humble every AI lab on the planet.

1 cubic millimeter. One-millionth of a human brain. Harvard and Google spent 10 years mapping it. The imaging alone took 326 days. They sliced the tissue into 5,000 wafers each 30 nanometers thick, ran them through a $6 million electron microscope, then needed Google’s ML models to stitch the 3D reconstruction because no human team could process the output.

The result: 57,000 cells, 150 million synapses, 230 millimeters of blood vessels, compressed into 1.4 petabytes of raw data. For context, 1.4 petabytes is roughly 1.4 million gigabytes. From a speck smaller than a grain of rice.

Now scale that. The full human brain is one million times larger. Mapping the whole thing at this resolution would produce approximately 1.4 zettabytes of data. That’s roughly equal to all the data generated on Earth in a single year. The storage alone would cost an estimated $50 billion and require a 140-acre data center, which would make it the largest on the planet.

And they found things textbooks don’t contain. One neuron had over 5,000 connection points. Some axons had coiled themselves into tight whorls for completely unknown reasons. Pairs of cell clusters grew in mirror images of each other. Jeff Lichtman, the Harvard lead, said there’s “a chasm between what we already know and what we need to know.”

This is why the next step isn’t a human brain. It’s a mouse hippocampus, 10 cubic millimeters, over the next five years. Because even a mouse brain is 1,000x larger than what they just mapped, and the full mouse connectome is the proof of concept before anyone attempts the human one.

We’re building AI systems that loosely mimic neural networks while still unable to fully read the wiring diagram of a single cubic millimeter of the thing we’re trying to imitate. The original is 1.4 petabytes per millionth of its volume. Every AI model on Earth fits in a fraction of that.

The brain runs on 20 watts and fits in your skull. The data center required to merely describe one-millionth of it would span 140 acres.

Did I understand a single word of it?
I did not.

Was it a vibe?
It was.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

@Arda So did Athletic take this idea from you, vice versa or just a really random coincidence

If ESPN pulls Scott Hanson off of RedZone we’re going to make January 6th look like child’s play.

gardner minshew, in 2019, was a sixth round pick after winning the unitas, throwing for 4,776 yards with 38 td and 9 picks.

that happened on earth. this planet right here.

Happy Thanksgiving beautiful people..

My Journey to Gratitude

My whole life I’ve been chasing wealth and happiness.. I thought the first would bring the second.

I echo the sentiment of many.. Money brings a freedom from an anxiety that certainly makes life lighter for the moment but what I learned thru trial and error was true happiness wasn’t purchasable.. I tried it.. I bought everything. Houses, cars, trips, a professional wrestling ring, atvs, shots for entire bars on numerous continents.. you name it.

In the moments they’re happening, absolute joy… but when it was over.. I usually found me and my thoughts with nothing changed.

I’ve taken a long voyage to get to my current lifeview, although each day is a wonder.. I think a lot of it revolves around watching people disappear. I’ve had too many friends lose their life from decisions or situations they put themselves into.. and also numerous friends die from tragic unexpected accidents.. and I’ve had a few friends take their own lives.

At the end of every show I say “Be a friend, tell a friend something nice. It might change their life”… The reason that exists is because of how I felt after learning of friends deciding they didn’t want to be alive anymore. Most of them were the life of any room they walked into.. so I never thought that I should reach out and randomly send well wishes or compliments to them. I had no idea that they were going thru shit in between their ears. Maybe all it took was one nice thing to be dropped into their world, to change their perspective.

After the constant reminder of the reality of this life, I finally found myself framing these losses that tomorrow shouldn’t ever be expected.. We have no idea what’s coming.

So every morning when I get to wake up.. I am insanely thankful for breath. Life will always be life-ing.. but I’m still alive somehow.

My wife and daughter’s happiness are the greatest fulfillment of my existence.. The boys that I get to lead thru their professional lives are absolute dawgs.. my family’s no longer broke.. but most importantly, I have fucking life.

I am so thankful to exist still.. and today is a day to remind myself of that.

I know the holidays can be tough for a lot of folks both personally and financially.. I want you to know that I think you’re doing fucking great. Keep going.. and the memories of these days are gonna make it even sweeter in the future.

I thank you all for following along with my life.. it’s the dumbest of all time. I get to do so much sweet shit with great people. I’m the luckiest man in the world.. and when I disappear, know that I’m grateful for it all.

Have a great Holiday

The Oakland A’s were killed by greed. Do not allow the people responsible for this to spin it any other way. John Fisher did not have to move this team. Major League Baseball and its owners did not need to be complicit in it. This was a choice. A wrong one. History will sneer.

I’m sure the pregnant wife he choked out and the kid whose arm he broke ask the same thing everyday.

FSU is baaaaaddddd. Or as @BarstoolBigCat might say in the Power Rankings, "Booty Cheeks".

[Warren Sharp @SharpFootball]

absolutely atrocious comment from this guy

“I don’t know if Josh Allen would have”

buddy, I love CJ Stroud but…

passes 1-5 air yards last year Josh Allen was LITERALLY THE BEST QB in the NFL last year

#1 comp %
#1 success rate
#2 EPA

idiot
