re: Auburn @ Sooners “Walk the Line” to MM’26 Game Thread

I’m afraid the problem we are gonna have after this Steven Debacle, is finding a decent coach that would take the job. A program that went to 2 Final Fours in 7 years really 6 due to Covid, is about to be relegated to the conference basement. All the sellouts will come to a halt, fan interest will dwindle and the job will be the shite job it was before Bruce took it.
And the most frustrating thing about it is that basketball is the best bang for the buck in the major sports that we could compete in in this current NIL/portal world. I'm not sure we'll ever really get off the mat in football, even at maximum booster spending. It just costs too much across the board. Spend even close to that in basketball, and we stay in the picture. Instead, we'll likely be mediocre across the board in the major sports because we're myopic about football. It's a shame.

re: Are Dems ahead of the curve on corporate taxes as UBI becomes necessary due to AI?

I don't love the concept of UBI for all the usual reasons. But at this point with the escalation of AI happening so rapidly, we need to explore all outcomes and potential remedies for the workforce that it will displace thoroughly; even ones that we have a considerable bias against.
If the ENTIRE economy is solely based on government wealth re-distribution and management, number one... I don't see how AI subsists. Number two, we're fricked. Consider the lifestyle of your average housing project or section 8 resident. Now make it worse. That's your life on "UBI". Plus, if your existence is solely dependent on the government, it's only a matter of time before you are humanely disposed of to manage numbers.
If AI makes most of humanity obsolete in an economical sense, it won't be long before they are in any other sense.

Please tell me why. Other than your nostalgia for the movie theater, what are the cons? I get Netflix originals, their impressive film catalogue, plus Warner Bros. and HBO content all in one streaming app.
Consolidation means tightening their grip on a creative industry. Netflix has rapidly descended into a creator of shite-spam. If they buy up WB, they'll still be a creator of shite-spam. They're currently starting to buy big time into the anime market. They'll frick that up, because that's what investor-driven business does. It sucks the life out of something good and leaves the corpse to rot. And you won't get cheaper because the more control they have, the less leverage you as a consumer has to choose.
Consolidation has happened dramatically in nearly every large industry. In the creative industries, the results are very apparent. Big budgets to make garbage.

So saying Golesh just picked his players is a bit short sided when it comes to the QB position. Brown could have gone and started for close to 90% of all teams out there.
Brown is a bonafide STUD not just a “system guy.”
I'm not really arguing Brown versus Deuce, just saying how Deuce might have viewed the situation with Golesh bringing in two USF QBs and most of the offense. How Brown does here remains to be seen. SEC competition is a different level. But yeah, it's a no brainer to take Brown and it's also clear why Deuce immediately jetted when it happened.

People, especially younger people, are getting priced out of a middle class life and that's easy cannon fodder for the non-incumbent party.
This country can't survive on pure-debt... either in our government or citizenry and that's the line we're approaching. When we get there, you'll see a lot more Mamdani's start to appear.

He was in a bad situation. Ole Miss, on paper, isn't a worse one. Personally, I doubt Ole Miss will turn in a much different record than us this season, but if I had to choose, I'd bet he sees the field more with them than he would here. We went and got another system guy. System guys use their players.
Why would he think so?
These guys all think they're ready, one and that their window to make money - in college and pros - is very limited, two. Golesh put up big numbers at a G5 school and has an impressive impact at UT. Ole Miss just made it deep into a playoff run. Auburn has turned in five losing seasons in a row. Deuce doesn't want to sit. At Auburn, he was guaranteed to sit. We have a beastly schedule next season, not a great roster and Golesh was committed to bringing in his players. From Deuce's point of view, I'd see Ole Miss as more likely to get playing time this season. I doubt the money was dramatically different in either case, so whether he screws himself or not is entirely on him. I don't think he'd have been in a better team situation here.

I wonder who is going to buy Microsoft's goods and services? The single-minded rush to nudge a stock price will eventually lead to a massive collapse.
AI requires a lot of resources and those needs will escalate with demand. If these predictions from guys like this are indeed accurate, they're fricked, we're fricked and the entire globe is going to go to war eventually to feed their new master.

It's difficult to aim higher when your entire focus is on making a number grow larger at any cost... and that's not just from a spiritual direction.

Yep. They aren't racing to dump the ridiculous money into these things just because they can render a quick cartoon sketch of your favorite family photo. The corporations want to bump that decimal and the players want weapons.
I realize corporate thought typically goes no further into the future than the end of the day, but I still wonder how these companies are going to sustain as fewer and fewer have the means to buy goods and services. Is everyone going to live on some nebulous line of credit and get thrown into a debtor jail when they get out of line? Really, the AIs don't scare me. It's the evil fricks who want the AIs that do.

The "free market" is a myth. Where we are now is an economy driven by international monopoly, political manipulation through corporate lobbying and stifled innovation and competition as a result of the two. It's resulted in a communist empire driving the world's economy and will likely eventually directly lead to world war. There's nothing "free" about it. It's just machiavellian humanism and is following the same path such things have followed throughout history.
