That was pretty true to the book though.

I couldn't recall it all, but I remember there was a short reveal.

Like I said..I liked the show, but true to the book or not, that particular person was very underwhelming as the big bad, and the reveal was just too abrupt for me.

They could have shown that characters capacity for extreme psychopathic evil to make it seem a much bigger threat.

(I promise this long post comes back to football)

I've been reading recently how game theorists using high powered computer processing, machine learning, A.I. blahblah have basically "solved" various forms of poker - as in the AI literally has reached the Nash Equilibrium in these forms (mostly heads up, limit poker, but they are getting very close in more advanced forms such as No Limit and 6-max tables).

For just $250 anyone can purchase high level "solver" software. Apparently online games are now flooded with folks that just follow the AI advice and even go so far as to learn how the program thinks in order to play the same way in live tournaments for hundreds of thousands of dollars. These are now the best poker players in the world and, according to the old pros, would DESTROY games from just 20 years ago.


Which all just makes me wonder how prevalent this already is throughout the stock markets (we all know "algos" dominate big trading firms...they're just bots, but how many small individual traders just have a bot doing it for them these days?) and will eventually become in sports and business.

How long before AI programs are the best offensive coordinators in all of football? Or a strategy officer or CEO of Fortune 500s?

Realistically, I'd be surprised if not within 20 years. I just highly doubt human coordinators can outthink highly tuned and Game Theory Optimal (GTO) A.I. Maybe UT should use its large pool of engineers, math majors, and computer science folks to get ahead of the curve. It's only a matter of time.

You really want to see the world go completely to hell don't you?

They changed quite a bit from the book, I guess to create some suspense for readers. The final big bad in the show was not the big bad of the book. i still really liked it, but reacher vs the kid would’ve gone down like black kranstann vs the trandoshians (and more or less did in the book).

How much does a fake - er - Caribbean med school cost? Lolol I'm jk.

That's awesome. I'm in the middle of working through that stuff now. My UT loans are in deferment because I'm still in school. My in-laws completely paid my wife's loans, but she got $10k more for her master's. My master's and PhD have been completely covered by my programs/research grants. So we should be able to knock ours out quickly - assuming I get a good job.

$125,000.
I have heard all the jokes. Goofed off too much at Tennessee undegrad.
My school was my best option Retrospectively, it was the best place for me. Taught me to be a serious student when it mattered. Also taught me a whole lot of priceless life lessons. I wouldn’t trade my med school experience for anything…🤠

Good luck with the job search!
My first position was as an assistant professor at a top ten US med school. Not bad for a fake med school graduate. 😇

wow I remember him. He was a top recruit Vols missed on. RIP

RIP Santonio Beard

Tbh I don’t think we missed on him. Look at the depth chart we had back then, especially at RB. I think you’re forgetting that when he was a recruit Tennessee was Alabama and Alabama was nothing special. Still a good college RB and a shame he died young to meaningless violence.
