“The old, whose bodies encrust their lives, die, and that is well.
They unhinder what has struggled in them.
The light, painfully loved, that narrowed and darkened in their minds becomes again the sky.”
Thank you, Wendell Berry

Tennessee is 10-3 in the NCAA Tournament the last four years.
Rick Barnes sure does win a lot in March for someone who can't win in March.

He's not just defending AI energy use. He is smuggling in a whole anthropology where humans are basically inefficient meat computers that you have to pour food and years into before they become useful. And once you accept that, the next move is obvious. If people are just costly biological training runs, then burning mountains of electricity to build synthetic intelligence starts to feel not only equal, but superior, even if it negatively impacts actual humans.
That is the dystopian. It makes human development sound like a bug in the system, and it makes sacrificing human and creational flourishing for more computational power sound logical. To him, the grid gets strained, prices go up, ecosystems get hit, but hey, humans eat too, so what's the difference?
The difference is that humans aren't an inefficient line item. They're the point. If your worldview can look at a child growing into an adult and describe it as energy spent to train intelligence, you haven't said something profound. You've revealed a horrifically rotten worldview.

Way back in my day, we were lucky to get a cold Krispy Kreme and a screen-printed Gildan T-shirt that shrank two sizes after the first wash.

“It’s not a pretty swing, however, with a super-wide setup and no stride, which makes me question whether the power will hold up with a wood bat, and in my in-person looks he struggled to pick up offspeed stuff.” — Keith Law, 11 months ago

Freshman Levi Clark just asked why he came to Tennessee instead of going pro directly from high school, and his response was a question: Why would I not go to Tennessee? Tennessee is the place to be right now. These coaches turn you into a pro.
Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life. Others suffered… They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword. They went about… destitute, afflicted, mistreated— of whom the world was not worthy.
Please pray – 70 people have been found beheaded in a church in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
“We further call on the international Christian community to remain in prayer for Christians and vulnerable communities in eastern DRC,” says a contact.opendoorsuk.org/news/latest-…
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. - Psalm 1:1-2
Stunned, STUNNED, I tell you, that Rutgers isn't looking for a new coach right now
“With vast experience at all levels of college football, Coach Dickert is an excellent fit to lead the Deacs into next season and beyond. He understands our culture at Wake Forest and he, and his family, will be an excellent fit in our community.”
