Watching the new Carrie on Amazon and I love the cast/performances but the storyline is so After School Special and cliche it's enraging. Think I would have preferred a period piece, no pun intended.

Mandel Nallo on 35 no longer being the drop-off point for the lower weight classes, and older fighters like Gaethje and Volk claiming/defending gold. #UFC

Today I turn 88…I’ve seen some serious shit. The most serious of it all is love. I love my family, my friends, and my wonderful fans. The power of love remains.
Might be time to watch Alien again. RIP.

Tore my calf Thursday, ahead of an appearance by Jourdain/Zahabi I had to bail on. Nine hours in the ER, didn't get to my AirBNB until about 2AM. Had to skip weigh-ins. Couldn't even put my foot flat on the ground until Saturday. Surprisingly it's coming along well. Wild week.

Didn't expect Affleck to be the voice of reason but I'll take it
Ben Affleck says AI is simply matrix multiplication, linear algebra and floating point calculations, and however convincingly it sounds like a person, it has nothing to do with thought, humanity or feeling
“Nor do I believe, and I think it’s important to draw the distinction between what AI does, which is simply predict the next token or the next word in a sentence, then add that word on, run it back to the machine, do a lot of computation and pick the next word."
"That is a very different thing than sentience or thought. And I think we need to be really clear about that because it can be convincingly, in an illusory way, sound like thought or like a person."
"But let’s be real clear. This is matrix multiplication. This is linear algebra. These are floating point calculations. It has nothing to do with thought, humanity, or feeling.”
