Yes, Monday morning, welcome to it. Seven past six. Hard to know where to start, really. I mean the referee obviously didn't help, did he? Three captains challenges and three times we were right, and he wasn't, and that's before you get to the reports and the sinbins and the general pokey nosery that he seemed to delight in. NRL's got a long quality issue with officiating, and Saturday didn't help their reputation. Then uh the two points decision near the start of the game. That surprised me, but that's why Webster's coach and I'm not, of course. He had It clearly worked out all points were worth their weight in gold, and given they were all sort of in front of the posts, it worked out well for us. In fact, a lot of the game worked out well for us.
Early lead, lead at half time, lead with a gap that gave you a sense we simply had to ride it out until of course we didn't and the whole thing turned. And in that, as much as it might hurt to admit it, was one of the great comebacks of the season. I mean, a side that was on the wrong end of most of the night, rallies in a way the best. sides can. The Dolphins were awesome. I mean they were awesome. In the end they deserved it. It wasn't so much us capitulating as them being exceptional. It's why the record's 50-50 going in. There's something about them. That makes it sort of a coin toss. It ended the wrong way Saturday, but it could easily be different next time. The record now shows five four to them, two one for the season.
If you want glass half full. Two things. One, I like the idea of not having a week off personally. I like the idea of the rhythm of the season. And two, it's the Knights. And we will beat the Knights and we will make the preliminary final. So in that sense, uh there isn't a lot to worry about. We get more football, presumably a full Eden Park, and one and a half million dollars more goes to the bottom line of the NRL. So two games to the final, three for the title, it's still real, still alive, it's still our year.
Yeah!
News of the world in 90 seconds.
The old AI will kill us drama ratcheted up over the week in the heavyweights from Google Anthropic Open AI. Microsoft Elon have all signed a letter to say we should slow down development. Meantime, old Jacob, who started all this last week, has been on the
Many of the people who are sort of deep in the weeds on actually coding the thing, but they all have different numbers for a probability that humans humans might might die and they all keep this in their head on a daily basis while working on the technology. There is a strong chance that we could all die in the immediate future.
Uh his mate Josh, who used to work at Google, thinks the same.
I think in some ways it's better to think of it instead not as a technology, but as a second species that we're almost giving birth to. Um that soon we will inhabit the earth with entities that are much, much smarter than us. There's kind of no guarantee that humans will keep control of the future.
Uh, Trump, of course, has a view.
I think you have a lot of negative voices that are bringing it up, that uh shouldn't be bringing it up, and they're bringing up things that won't happen. But whoever wins with AI wins, you know. It's an expression that I came up with and it's true.
It's not the only view he's had. See, for a bloke who's supposed to be watching the golf, he's winding up the Irish pretty well.
It seemed to me that one of the naturals of all time is put em together. So that's only my opinion. Do you think it's funny?
