In the future, you’ll have to be a US citizen and possibly have security clearance to work in frontier model companies. Either the entire company will move in this direction or secret departments or labs will be spun off where they work on AI and other deep tech (nuclear)

Wonder how Calvin Ridley, Jameson Williams and many others would feel if Brendan Sorsby is allowed entrance into the NFL without a suspension.

The Dallas Cowboys are going to select Brendan Sorsby in the NFL supplemental draft. Aren’t they?

A few quick thoughts on Brendan Sorsby leaving college football for what he hopes will be the NFL holding a supplemental draft: * Sorsby’s surprising win of a temporary injunction from a county judge in Texas had the perverse effect of rallying the college sports community against him and Texas Tech. It was a Pyrrhic victory that may have caused him and Texas tech more harm than good. * Texas Tech facing a federal lawsuit by the Big 12 was a game-changer. At the end of the day, Texas Tech and other Big 12 member schools contractually assent to the Big 12’s right to punish schools. That’s really hard to get around. The conference is in the driver's seat. * The NCAA wisely used Sorsby’s win of an injunction to advance its legislative goals. I’m not sure the Cruz-Cantwell bill will become law, but it seemed to gain more momentum when Sorsby won the injunction. * Will an NFL team draft a player who bet against his own team, placed thousands of other sports bets, and has a gambling addiction and anxiety disorder? If you ran an NFL team, would you want him as your QB?

Major cheat code for life: Leave people better than you found them. A kind word. A thoughtful question. A small encouragement. A little more belief than they had before. You never know which sentence becomes the one someone carries for years.
