Yeah, well, that's just like your opinion man.

If you’re a Notre Dame fan who isn’t pleased with the Irish’s Shamrock Series uniforms, just know it could be worse.

You could have Wisconsin’s.

Tel Aviv born Miriam Adelson spends hundreds of millions of dollars buying U.S. politicians using Chinese gambling money, then gets the red carpet treatment at our Nation’s 250th birthday celebration, while others suffer in the heat.

So this is what it’s like to get home cooking?

I feel like a Steelers fan!

Imagine being a Mavs fan three years ago and a time traveler comes to tell you your team is about to give away a future finals mvp and you're like "omg we're gonna lose Luka?" and the time traveler is like "oh yeah I forgot, you're gonna lose him too".

Taking something that already existed (director of analytics, in this case) and cramming “AI” in there to make it seem cutting edge. College football really is like every other industry.

The picture in my office of Dirk's 3 in Game 2 of the 2011 Finals. I stare at it often - especially at the many fans who know the ball is about to break their hearts. @swish41

Greg Sankey says he feels it's objectively obvious that when you look at the future of the Raddest Commissioner rankings, pay attention to the analytics that point to Greg Sankey being easily the raddest commissioner

Talarico is Low T, not a real Texan. We all aspire to be more like this guy, who is a rough and tumble type from the DIRT!

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
