AI is going to cost millions jobs in the near future. Gen Z/Alpha live in their phones. Everything is going digital. Tech is more important than food to most young people. But I for the life of me can't grasp why companies like Meta and Apple think this is the future. I don't think ANYONE wants to spend hours with a facemask on. You've already seen the commercials. Forget going outside in the fresh air to practice sports! Do it IN YOUR HOME! Forget going to a real beach, do it ON YOUR COUCH! It's crazy.

I predict that these will go the way of Google Glass.

They will be a minor blip with those folks that like to try to exist on the bleeding edge of tech but ultimately you'll see minimal market penetration and eventually backlash against their public use with restrictions on where and when you can use them - Not in the coffee shop, not on the airplane, not in the grocery store, etc just like we saw with GG.

They dont have a killer app to drive sales.

By all reports it is headache inducing after an hour or so for most users and neck straining for virtually everyone.

 

Its a tech solution in search of a problem that doesnt exist.

I think there is a reason why Meta, Google, Apple and everyone is sort of on this kick though.  Think it's basically the baby stepping of wanting to combine machine/human.  Hard to see too far down the road but I think they basically want everyone to have access to everything....without having to have a device in your hand.

I don't think it's human/machine related, but $$$ related and they're trying to steer the future where they want it to go. Every market is pretty much owned/cornered right now. It's hard to take over one for yourself (even though that lot already does). So why not invent a new one for people?

Think of it this way ... outside of these goggles TV is TV, streaming is streaming, gaming is gaming. They all have their place and all have their rules and regulations. A small company can't usually join the fray and make bank. But ... in imaginary land ... ohhh lordy ... it's wide open. It's been tried before via gaming/PC (I forget the name of the actual game) but Meta wants companies to pay them to start filling up imaginary land. Can't compete with Spotify? Join us at Meta! You can have your own streaming music store! It can look however you want it to look! All of our users will discover you! You can be the new Spotify! It's like a BRAND NEW WORLD. Be the first!

And it's stupid.

If millions of jobs go away so will these companies.  Who are they going to sell their garbage too when folks have no jobs/money?

That's why so many at the top are starting to question AI. When is everyone else going to wake up? AI can do the job of hundreds of people. But no ... AI is soooo cool and it's going to create jobs too! We're creating a monster here, people. It's going to be ugly. You've been warned.

Judging by the commercials, it looks like a way to put a giant iPhone on top of your head

Watching football routes and poo, or top down in hockey/NBA will probably be coming. I mean if Apple and Sports take advantage of this concept. Holy Poo. 
 

Imagine watching a football game and having a top down of every route and play available right there in real time on your coffee table?

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
