Recruiting Football Talk VII

I feel bad for the conference that gets stuck with Progressive. I mean for the women's team being in the Flo division would make sense at least once a month.

Nicely done!

Jello Shot Challenge

Vols don’t back down from a challenge. Participate in the Jello shot challenge to see which fanbase can buy the most shots while in Omaha for the College World Series. Each shot costs $5 and a portion goes to support food banks from each participating school. Not all Vol fans can make it to...

My daughter went when Ole Miss won (she’s a Rebel) and I remembered that some of the $$ from the shots went to the schools’ (or towns’) food banks. That is a good thing.

Ha, fixed. Was part of the job, unfortunately. Kind of fun but...once was enough lol.

Anyone ever built any of these? I am curious.

That's pretty cool. I might try to build a couple.

If the Lady had remained there, they would have packed her on-board also.

One of the most populated cities in the world and the most populated metro area period. They def need to add some more subway cars.

I thought it was well established that Sally is a known liar.

Anyone heard of AGI? A buddy that works at Oak Ridge said they think AGI has already been accomplished and we'll start hearing more and more about it as they try to acclimate the public. The speed of advancement in just the last year has been insane.

ChatGPT2 to GPT3 to GPT4 is like the difference in knowledge between a pre-school/middle school/high-school intellect. If they make the same advancement with GPT-5, that would be college level smarts, GPT-6 would be doctorate/genius levels. GPT-7. . . what would that be? . .

Chat GPT 1 was released Nov 30, 2022. GPT4 was released in March of 2023. GPT-5 has probably been finished form some time, but isn't being released while OpenAi gets the financial stuff straightened out. I wouldn't be surprised if they are up to GPT-8 or so.

Then you have to consider the government's involvement. They know that whoever develops super-intelligence first will have the upper-hand globally. . . similar to the race to get to the moon, except this time it's China instead of Russia.

Tech that's rolled out to the public is generally a few years behind what the government already has access to. I wouldn't be surprised if AGI isn't already being used, in fact, I'd probably bet that it's been around for at least a year or longer.

I've always wondered about the "technological singularity", if it's a real thing and what it would look like once we get there. I looked at a couple graphs that showed how tech has advanced from around 2000 til now. From 2000 til 2019 looks like a horizontal line barely above the bottom base line. 2019 til now looks like a straight vertical line. I wonder if we're actually getting close to a tech singularity or if we've already crossed it and the public is just starting to be fed small glimpses of what's happening.

A poster who has been spot on with leaks out of OpenAI said first AGI will be released next year. This is 15-20 years ahead of early projections. It's already here.

Vols need to win this one for SAS today. Hell just win the whole thing for the Head Cheerleader.

Get well soon we're all with you in spirit

Do you think the job is too big for the new coach? Any word out there.

I think Ing is a really good coach, personally. 2026 class HAS to be good tho. We'll see what happens tho. I don't know if Duke Johnson or Abduall Sanders would flip from Bama so some other names to monitor would be Ty Jackson, Christian Gass, LaVar Arrington II, Jadon Perlotte, and maybe they circle around to Austin Howard (Vandy commit at Bartlett HS)

Our marketing team and vol club are phenomenal. The most popular spot in Omaha and we’re taking over.

I'm a pretty normal dude. So when I hear about something, I assume that it's something every average person already knows about. 2 years ago and I bet almost no average person knew what AGI is. It seems pretty apparent that the public is being primed for what's coming.

I wish I had some money, I'd be dumping it into NVIDIA, OpenAi, or other tech companies if I could. Also, there is going to be a massive increase in energy consumption. I'd love to throw some money into energy companies too. I bet Tesla stock is gonna have a massive jump in the next 2-3 years.

I don’t understand a lot of this I got this late yesterday evening. Ive not heard anything this morning. I usually reach out around dinner time asking for an update. She definitely still needs prayer. If anyone understands all this please explain

Thank you so much for keeping us updated.
Praying for her and her family
STAY STRONG SaS!!

Another thing I'd probably dump some moola in is data centers, if you can. We're gonna need many new massive data storage farms in the future.

Tennessee is down to -180 and FSU at +130 now. Basically a tossup.

So first one to become Kree wins? Great.

I'm not sure how much daylight there will be between current GPT tech and the first AGI. I think the definition of AGI is that it has to be able to do everything a 50th percentile human can do. Clearly current GPT is well beyond that for many/most things, but not everything. I doubt we'll notice much difference when interacting with AGI Sally.

As a technology developer, I've been following this for a long time. Read Kurzweil in the early 2000s. My personal prediction circa 2000 was 2035. The thing that people miss about AI is this: by the time a computer can do the same thing as a human, it can already do it a million times better. It's in your rear view mirror for a while, and a faction of a second after it passes you, it's disappeared in the distance.

Here is what should have happened to him….. Play stupid games and win stupid prizes…. Have no issues with him being tazed…. Don’t go on the field!!!

1970? Colts MLB Mike Curtis tackles a fan. Colts great Johnny Unitas asked Curtis why he tackled the guy? Curtis “cause he didn’t belong on the field”

I don't think the Vols win this one. They're going with their best on the mound, well, we're not. I'm not expecting much.

I can see this logic. Still, wish their starter was a little worse.
