AI technology is failing because it doesn't justify its investment costs

I think AI is in hot water. I feel like this is, we're we're in a good spot as humanity right now where AI has not been making enough money to justify all the investment. ... We might beat the robots.

Michigan players saying they were 'protecting the logo' after getting crushed is pathetic

Curt Cignetti has to be the next head coach for Penn State

Sigge [Curt Cignetti] has gotta be the guy. They went to Oregon and they just fucking kicked the shit out of them. Sigge is a great coach, don't get me wrong. I don't think he has Indiana in his blood. I think that if Penn State called, he's picking up the phone.

Curt Cignetti did not become Penn State's head coach. Despite being the top candidate after James Franklin was fired in October 2025, Cignetti signed an 8-year, $93 million extension at Indiana and stayed. Penn State hired Matt Campbell instead. Big Cat's prediction was wrong.
