Kiffin actively worked to get Chambliss to transfer to LSU. Why did he waste that time if he really believed Chambliss was out of eligibility?
Is he stupid? Or bitter?
I think he has shown over the long period he has been in the spotlight that he has lower standards for his own behavior than he does for the behavior of anyone else.
That's partly why him and LSU go so well together. They are just as shady as Alabama without the championships.

Ai is about to get it all. Colleges would be smart to move away from classic degrees and teach things that work in the real world like Construction Management, Concrete Management, Oil Industry, Real Ag not classroom bs, Landscape Management, Aviation such Pilot, Controller, Airport Management, etc.. Teach actual careers not concepts.
I disagree somewhat.
You've already seen a huge drop in information on the actual Internet since these LLMs have released. They learn much of their information off the Internet, so if the Internet has less of that information the models aren't learning anything new. So unless we have one market leader that emerges and something like 80-85% of users use it, we have these emerging data silos.
As for the degrees, the gap once AI is in widespread use and actually taking jobs will be finding people who actually know about the topic you're asking about to run them. They are really only as effective as the pilot at this point. If you know about the topic and know how to do what you're asking it, you'll get better quality data. So people might actually need more schooling to compete and be effective employees.
Now don't get me wrong, I've thought that it's much better to get a degree that gives you a clear career path upon graduation like engineering even before this. I think that will remain the best path. But we will have a shortage of people who actually know about certain other topics without referencing AI, and those people will be paid handsomely. Meanwhile the people who do nothing to separate themselves will have their jobs culled. The demand for experience and knowledge will only go up but the path to gaining both will get harder and more competitive.

Historically, as I mentioned, the people who built civilizations were invaded and conquered by people who had spent that time instead practicing being invaders and conquerors, who just adopted the identity of the people they rtook over... so I'm not sure your theory holds up
This isn't one nation invading and conquering another one. This is a nation giving people from another nation long term control via demographics.

Go somewhere else where they will be paid to do unskilled labor.
Fun theory but why leave when the next liberal government is likely going to give mass amnesty if not outright citizenship, thus making them eligible for some if not full benefits of being a citizen? Those people aren't leaving.

He's just given up on his political future. No other explanation is possible.
His Ukraine stance will cause 0 issues for him in a US election. He will probably get asked about it on a debate stage and all it will do is set him up for a "don't we have enough issues at home" type answer that he is usually really effective at delivering.

I'm one of the few posters on this board that does not think immigration is some apocalyptic national death sentence, and Ukraine was welcoming to immigrants before the invasion.
It's not immigration itself, it's the consequences of it.
For one, the people who built a nation are who made it successful. Why would anyone think people who have never built anything and who generally have no real skills will contribute positively?
Unskilled labor is less and less necessary by the day. Why would anyone want to import millions of unskilled laborers who might not have jobs in a decade? What do you think they are going to do then?
I've said my piece on Ukraine's demographics a few times, but as a positive I will say we are entering a period for the first time in history where large populations might actually be a disadvantage in more ways than it is an advantage. We are exponentially increasing the production capacity of the individual. If you're ever going to have a population crisis, the coming decades are the time when you just might be able to navigate it somewhat successfully.

One of the appealing things to me about Catholicism is also a potential weakness. We need a global power structure of faith to unite believers together and give us a global voice... But if that institution were to become compromised.......

"This board" is the PT. "This thread" is the Ukraine thread. I have seen it, numerous times, on "this board" today. Hope that helps, I know it can be hard to differentiate different buttons on those leapfrog tablets.

I think that's just a reflex on this site because some people think you're a turbo-commie if you say "maybe Trump should be doing a little more" or "I wish he wouldn't have done (insert thing he promised not to do)"

Trump hasn't lifted a finger or put a single ounce of pressure on anyone to get SAVE passed.
He could have used Lindsey Graham to put pressure on Thune and withheld and leveraged his endorsement.
The old Trump would have said "you get Thune to use nuclear option on SAVE and youll finally get your Iran war" and Graham probably would have delivered
Trump SUCKS. Hes a lazy megalomaniac who only cares about his own legacy.
He would just threaten to destroy someone in the media in the past and it was effective enough. I feel like he's trying to do some big thing in his last term to be remembered and punting important stuff we need done that isn't as flashy. He wants to overthrow Iran or get a 51st state so he is the one to have done it.
