Original take. I have never heard that one before. :lol:

His argument is that AI will literally replace humanity in regards to labor.

I think this is just too "pie in the sky" thinking. I can see this happening in terms of economic stratification, but not across the board. Here's an example:

Today in Austin, TX and elsewhere there are 3D printed subdivisions. I'm oversimplifying in the interest of brevity, but in these locations, the houses are "printed" by a concrete "plotter" that pours successive layers of concrete from the ground up based on an uploaded CAD design. (Y'all don't beat me up on the tech details. Google it if you're interested.) Literally a few guys can form up and build the entire shell.

Where it gets interesting is that that electrical work, HVAC, and plumbing have been integrated into this system of building using means that are much more automated and prone to future automation.

I've always been skeptical about machines taking over construction because it's the opposite of manufacturing: uncontrolled environment, variable conditions, weather, and a lack of the consistency that machines generally need to outperform humans. But in this example, they're reconfiguring construction around the automation.

But there's a big but. This can work in places like Austin where you have a wealthy, captive market that wants to pay for that stuff. However, the other 99.999% of houses in the US, at least for the next several decades, are old-school stick-built and need carpenters, plumbers, HVAC tech, and electricians to work on them. R2D2 isn't going to roll up to a 1970's rancher and change out a light fixture.

So I can see where swaths of industries will be automated, but there are still areas where humans will be required for decades to come.

I can see no way that Elons bots replace that labor.

Either everyone has their needs met by said AI and money essentially becomes obsolete, or they kill us all.

Why must there be this dramatic dichotomy? AI will do some stuff. People will do some stuff. Not sure why they need to kill us off.

Personally I'm hoping for the former and I'm glad that we don't have the actual death cult (the left) calling the shots at this pivotal junction in human history.

Agreed.

Wrong. We need reps for backups. This season is gonna be a long haul, and to make it we need dudes to harden up and step up. McNeese will be key for that to happen.

Why would going all Euros be the only possible thing he could have done?

That makes zero sense.

---

Wade wasn't hired until the end of March. By then, most of the top transfer portal talent already had deals in place. Do you not remember that?

He stepped into a gut-shot recruiting season, and there weren't a bunch of five stars lined up to play for LSU's flailing program.

So he took a calculated risk for a chance at salvaging the season.

I think it was worth it. I'm sure he has backups to fill the roster.

So again, what we he supposed to do? Sign all the nobodys first, then chase the internationals with an even smaller chance of landing them? (He wasn't the only coach chasing those guys...)

He made the best play in a shitty situation.

I love Will Wade but the Euro guys move was too risky and shouldn't have put too many eggs in that basket.

---

What else was he supposed to do? He was transparent about his plan, and we all supported it when it seemed more likely to work out. I would rather him try to get us an elite roster for year 1 vs just signing another bunch of nobodies who will finish last in the league.

I have zero clue what people have seen that leads to them this conclusion.


Besides the batted balls at the line, it's a pretty clear comparison. He's taking time to adjust to the size and speed difference between the B12 and the SEC. Not surprising

---

First 3 games as an LSU starter: JD vs SL.

JD: 0 INTs / 69.5%

SL: 5 INTs / 61.3%

They both came from AZ St...but there is no comparison so far.

ETA: Rushing TDs are pretty close, but SL is not seeing the field like JD did so far.

Look, tGeneral came home to kick arse and chew bubble gum, and he's all out of gum.

Dafuq?

I'd say that Taxachusetts was going to hell in a handbasket, but I'd be about 30 years late.

As revolting as I find this, however, it's quite difficult to feel sorry for those who keep voting these pscho commies into office.

Hopefully all the decent folks are getting out while the getting is still good.

Good report. Confirms what I thought I saw of Leavitt. He looked skittish and overwhelmed.

Thought we went out and got a legit QB1. Dude looked like a true freshman out there.
