As I am an American, I watched the Colorado vs Oregon game yesterday....

You won’t find rage-filled rants or personal insults below Chargers fans. What you’ll find is much worse. Cold, hard reality. You’re about to learn that instead of hell, your favorite little team resides in perpetual purgatory....
Likewise, media coverage of human-AI interaction whether paranoid or starry-eyed tends to emphasise its newness. In one sense, it is undeniably new. Is that what I meant to say? Would it have occurred to me if the tool hadnt suggested it? Am I part robot? These large language models have been trained on massive amounts of natural human language. Does this make the robots part human? No, youre not a robot, but your language is not so different from an AI chatbots....

This commercial was basically made for me. This commercial played that note perfectly for me. Almost like they made it for me specifically. I wanted to feel connected or “involved” in hockey beyond just being a fan. I think Reichel is going to be a very solid top 6 punch in of guy. I have to adjust my brain for the amount of scoring that is happening in the NHL....

Is The Sandlot as well-crafted as Magnolia or The Green Mile? But I do enjoy it more. If you are lucky, then you had a childhood similar to this. You didn’t have responsibilities other than having fun with your friends. This movie captures all of that perfectly. The strength of this movie is the casting. They didn’t cast the greatest actors of all-time. This isn’t a Freaks & Geeks situation where it’s just future star after future star....

If anything, that difference of Belichick’s record with and without Brady is a huge compliment to Brady. You would think having the greatest NFL player of all-time would be enough for Pats fans. That’s just not true. Great coaches can still be great even if you take away their best QB. So how does Bill Belichick have a losing record over 169 games (that’s over 10 seasons!) That last year was a mess because the Browns were about to move to Baltimore....
