NBC's Kevin Kisner apologizes to CBS for his Masters criticism: "I crossed the line."

Just re-watched CBS's disaster on 18 from Sunday. Some notes. Immelman offered no usable opinions on driver vs. 3-wood off the tee. Nantz had to coax it out of him by asking if he liked it. Of course, the likable Trevor said sweetly: "Yes I do." I can only dream of what Ken Venturi would have done in that spot. He would have been absolutely in his bag. There was no attempt at discerning how far back Rory was once they found his drive. This is because Dottie was not in position yet (not her fault) and it was so far right. They could have guessed, but Augusta has an explicit policy for announcers to never guess where a ball might be. This rule was written for the broadcasters back in the stone ages, and needs to be ditched asap. Trevor correctly assessed the play as not bad, with a sweeping hook over the stand of trees backing the scoreboard, but there was no estimation of how tall those trees were, or what club was needed to clear them. Once over the ball, Trevor's only thought was keep your right foot from slipping. Okay, fine. But I wanted to know where was a good miss, and what would be a disaster. No opinion was offered. Then, I discovered THE BIGGEST CBS fuck up of the entire hole. THE AUDIO MIX! Finally after the strike, Dottie said "8-iron, on the way." Or at least... I *think* she did. But you could barely make it out. I had to replay it at least 5x to be sure. The gain on the crowd was too high, and the announcer mix had to fight to get through. Again, no yardage or even estimate of yardage was given. From that point, an agonizing 1 minute and 7 seconds elapsed before CBS showed a ball in the front bunker. But because CBS ALSO missed what happened to Cam Young's ball, there was still uncertainty. Nantz finally offered up a meek "There's one...." when the cameras zoomed in on Rory's ball in the bunker. THERE'S ONE?? Good lord. You also had a hard time hearing it because again, the audio mix was absolute shit. Trevor then added (insanely considering this is the 72 hole of the most famous golf tournament in the world) the following: "If that's a ball......" IF... that's a ball (in the bunker). IF?? What the fuck are we doing fellas? Clearly, CBS made an ugly triple here due to a variety of factors. Yes there was chaos. Yes, Rory was in uncharted parts of that hole. But the Masters not allowing more on-foot assets (reporters/spotters) by CBS, and this idiotic edict to never "guess" where a ball is, combined with shitty audio mix, made for a terrible finale. And while Nantz is defending his network and colleagues publicly, I am sure he's pissed in private. Hopefully, CBS goes to the green jackets and asks for more leeway on certain things to avoid this happening again the future. As for Rory's feet blocking sight of the 2 incher to win? Meh. A cherry on top of the turd sundae. The least of things to be frustrated by.

"I'm gonna give you an engine low to the ground... extra thick oil pan to cut the wind from underneath you. It'll give you thirty or forty more horsepower. I'm gonna give you a fuel line that'll hold an extra gallon of gas. I'm gonna shave half an inch off you and shape you like a bullet. I'll get you primed, painted and weighed, and you'll be ready to go out on that racetrack. Hear me? You're gonna be perfect." RIP Harry Hogge, its poetic you passed away on the day of the Daytona 500

Ok fine - maybe you don't want to listen to me. I'm just a 25-year-old on the internet. But maybe you'll listen to them. I documented every major warning from the people actually building AI. Every CEO. Every founder. They're all saying the same thing. Read this slowly: • Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI: "Being a lawyer, an accountant, a project manager, a marketing person - most of those tasks will be fully automated by AI within 12 to 18 months." • Elon Musk: "AI and robots will replace all jobs. Working will be optional." Called AI his "biggest fear." • Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic: AI will eliminate 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs. Unemployment could hit 20%. Called it "unusually painful." Then said: "Most lawmakers are unaware this is about to happen." • Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI: "Some areas, I think just like totally, totally gone." Said changes that normally take 75 years will be compressed into a short period. Admitted he loses sleep over it. • Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia: "Every job will be affected, and immediately. It is unquestionable." • Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase: "It will eliminate jobs. People should stop sticking their head in the sand." Warned mass AI layoffs without safeguards could trigger "civil unrest." Said he'd welcome a government ban on mass-firing for AI. • Stuart Russell (author of the most-used AI textbook in history): Political leaders are "staring 80% unemployment in the face". • Kai-Fu Lee, VC & former head of Google China: Called predictions of 50% job displacement by 2027 "uncannily accurate." These aren't journalists. These aren't influencers. These aren't politicians trying to get elected. These are the people building it. Funding it. Deploying it. And not one of them is saying your job is safe.
