Facebook made an algorithm that gave Boomers whatever they wanted, and they destroyed democracy, and then all those FB product managers went over to OpenAI and made ChatGPT, and now they've made a chatbot that tells Boomers whatever they want to hear, and... well, this should go great.

Like… you all just watched something historic. Just wild.
It’s Indiana. Most losses in FBS history. And they just won the B1G.
This is already the best season in Indiana history.

Gene Taylor reports that when Chris Klieman came in to tell him he was returing, Klieman told him to call Collin Klein.
Klein told Taylor he was taking the job before they even discussed any terms.
