Synopsis on Latest Commentary on Rhule/Penn State

[MaxHuskers34]

Judging by rhule’s body language he would take the job if offered.

But does AI agree with this?

 

[herbsinator]

He’s not capable of thinking for himself. Put your kids in private school.

Trust me, that’s where they’re headed already.

 

[Kazman5k]

Do you want the answer to this?

I do

 

[That SOB Van Owen]

🧾​

The thread begins with user Cavalot posting an AI-generated roundup summarizing recent media coverage about Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule and speculation that he might be a candidate for the Penn State head coaching job. The summary compiles quotes, press conference comments, and analysis from outlets like ESPN, CBS Sports, Husker Corner, and Corn Nation.

---

🏈​

Cavalot’s post outlines:

• Rhule’s strong ties to Penn State (alumnus, friends with AD Pat Kraft) but his public commitment to Nebraska.
• His comments suggesting frustration with Nebraska’s resource limitations.
• Media interpretations split between:
  • Local sources (Corn Nation, Husker Corner) thinking he’ll stay.
  • National outlets suggesting he’s a logical Penn State target.
• Conclusion: Rhule likely stays at Nebraska for now, but the speculation remains due to his Penn State roots.

---

💬​

The thread quickly derails from Rhule discussion into an argument about AI use on the forum:

• herbsinator dismisses the post as “AI slop.”
• greybeardedchild expands on that, calling AI “glorified predictive text” and warning against trusting it as factual.
• Cavalot defends his post, saying it’s just a useful summary of public sources, not presented as original reporting.
  • He argues AI is a research and efficiency tool, not something replacing human thought.
  • He points out that his sources were real (CBS, ESPN, etc.), not fabricated.

---

😤​

• Several users (Pepe Silvia, Bulldog10, herbsinator) mock or dismiss AI, saying no one wants “AI articles” on the board.
• Cavalot repeatedly pushes back, maintaining a calm but firm defense.
• Moderators and veteran posters (cwessel76, Baron Winnebago) chime in to joke or defuse tension.
• A few (Mavsker) say they would like the full articles posted.
• The thread devolves into AI jokes, memes, and sarcastic banter about “robot overlords” and “AI genies.”

---

⚖️​

1. Cavalot posts a detailed AI-generated summary of Matt Rhule rumors.
2. Half the forum reacts negatively, calling it lazy or unoriginal.
3. Cavalot defends AI as a legitimate summarization tool.
4. Discussion shifts from football to AI ethics and usefulness.
5. Ends with humor, memes, and mild trolling, not much substantive football talk.

---

In short:
The thread started as a factual recap of the Rhule/Penn State situation but quickly turned into a culture clash over using AI on sports forums — with a mix of defensiveness, mockery, and jokes overtaking the original topic.

Well done.

 

[Cavalot]

Cav is a school teacher that uses AI to grade his student’s papers that are also written by AI. Society is doomed

Is canvas AI? I suppose it might be a form of it. Although it doesn't write the assignments quizzes or tests. Just grades them.
IXL? not really but definitely an advancement towards breaking down and understanding flaws in student work and understanding.
Math Drills.com. AAAMath.com , Huda math.com... etc.... Not really ai but definitely beyond the worksheet with 50 problems on it that I assume you believe will make students smarter. lol

Oh and HUDL...God forbid we use technology to break down film, look for tendencies, or utilize to create play scripts etc.... Maybe we should go back to drawing with markers on a piece of card stock. LOL

Stick to what you know buddy. Stay out of my space.

 

[Kaladin]

Brethren, I beseech thee, calm thine keyboards and still thy furious thumbs. Verily, hath not the Lord commanded, “Thou shalt not lose thy cool over a message board post”? Lo, this thread was meant for football, yet ye have made it a battlefield of algorithms and egos. Take heed, for pride goeth before the downvote, and wrath before the thread lock. Let each poster therefore chill, as the frost upon Memorial Stadium in November, and remember: blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall inherit the last word. Amen and Go Big Red.

 

[Cavalot]

Trust me, that’s where they’re headed already.

Yeah not really. Nice try though.

There will always be public schools and you and your kind better damn well be thankful for them. Keeps the riff raf out of your pristine whitewashed private schools...am i right?

 

[SlumpBuster]

Lots of Luddites ITT

How much water does it take to produce an ai generated answer

ChatGPT said:​

Thought for 20s

Short answer: a single AI answer typically “drinks” on the order of a few milliliters to a few dozen milliliters of water — roughly ~5–50 mL per prompt in most published estimates. For heavy/long or badly-instrumented cases it can be higher; training a big model uses millions of liters. IT Pro+2oecd.ai+2

Why the huge spread?​

Water use for AI is not a single number — it depends on several things:

• Training vs inference. Training a large model (one-time) consumes millions of liters; inference (answering your prompt) is much smaller but used repeatedly. arXiv+1
• How water use is counted. Some studies count only on-site cooling water; others add indirect water tied to the electricity used (water used to generate that electricity). Different methods give very different totals. Nature+1
• Data-center efficiency & geography. Cooling tech, local climate, and whether a site uses air or water cooling change water per kWh a lot. Modern efficient sites can have low on-site water use; hot/dry regions often use more water for cooling. EESI+1
• Model size and prompt length. Bigger models and longer responses use more compute, therefore more energy and water per answer. IT Pro

Example numbers from recent analyses​

• Mistral (model lifecycle analysis): ~45 mL of water per 400-token prompt (their measured inference + training allocation). IT Pro
• OECD summary of research: training can consume millions of litres; running GPT-3 inference for 10–50 queries was estimated at roughly 500 mL total (≈10–50 mL per query depending on assumptions). oecd.ai
• Independent estimate / blog checks: some engineers estimate as little as ~5 mL per typical chat for modern, efficient setups (methodologies vary). seangoedecke.com
• Data-center water intensity context: national average indirect water intensity ≈ 4.5 L per kWh (this is liters per kWh of electricity used — you can multiply by the kWh a query consumes to get an estimate). Converting that into mL per query gives the same order-of-magnitude results shown above. LBL ETA Publications

Quick worked example (simple illustration)​

If a data center’s water-use-equivalent is 1.9 L/kWh (1.9 L per 1,000 Wh → 1.9 mL per Wh) and a prompt uses 10 Wh of electricity, water ≈ 1.9 mL/Wh × 10 Wh = 19 mL for that prompt. Change the WUE or Wh/query and the result scales. EESI+1

Bottom line (practical)​

• Typical single answer: a few mL to a few dozen mL of water, depending on model, provider, and measurement method. IT Pro+2oecd.ai+2
• Training a big model: millions of liters. That’s where most of the water footprint is concentrated. arXiv+1

LOL ok. Because I used ai on a football chat board? lol

This is brilliant. Well played. and yes still typing. lol

And I knew that the original post would absolutely, without a doubt, set off the anti AI crowd! LOL Worth every keystroke to see the responses.

 

[Alcaus]

Yeah not really. Nice try though.

There will always be public schools and you and your kind better damn well be thankful for them. Keeps the riff raf out of your pristine whitewashed private schools...am i right?

AI will hopefully keep my kids away from the riff raff with personal tutoring w/o the inflated tuition.

 

[herbsinator]

Maybe you have other reasons, but AI is not going away so I'd rather someone teach my kids about it (in addition to what I can do at home)

I use AI in some capacity for my job, but the key is really understanding what it can and can’t do. If you can give it the proper context and facts, then it can be a great tool. But a lot of the time it’s garbage-in, garbage-out. For example, in the OP, its information is limited to what’s publicly available on the internet. There has not been a single article written up to this point that has any actual relevant facts or information, beyond pure speculation. Therefore, whatever AI spits out on this topic is necessarily going to be worthless. If AI had access to TPB, NCIU and whatever the PSU equivalents are, then it would be a different story.

As for my kids, they’re 4 and 2 so we have some time to figure it out. I don’t even let them look at an iPad or watch TV at this point!

So with that said. What is wrong with summarizing what is currently available so that others don't have to go out searching for it?

My original post never stated anything that I was trying to portray as factual or made any real predictions. It was simply a summation of what's out there at this given point in time. Not sure what part of it bent you????
