Derek Carr's injury in 2016 shocked fans when he broke his fibula during a crucial game, but the real twist was how he was transported off the field. Instead of lying down on a stretcher, he was sat upright in the front seat of a malfunctioning cart that couldn't make it uphill. This low-budget moment highlighted the surprising realities of sports infrastructure and sparked a hilarious discussion about other budget-conscious antics.
“I wasn't expecting this, and it's going to be hard not to come across as defensive. So what happened essentially was I was doing a podcast with Derek Thompson, who's a friend. He said he was on paternity leave, and I ribbed him and gave him a hard time and said, dude, fathers are useless in the first few weeks. Get back to work. Your job is to support your wife and make sure and keep the child away from a large body of water. First off, let me just say, my comments were stupid. Occasionally, I try to be provocative, and I cross the line into just saying something stupid. That was a stupid statement, …”

“… That makes that a 17% jump over the first two months of 2026, which if it were not for Anthropic's staggering 36% gain in the last couple of weeks, we'd be talking about with just as much slack in our jaws.

“… really crystallized this for me, and what basically prompted me to want to do this show, was when former Atlantic author and co-author of Abundance, Derek Thompson, tweeted out on Thursday, For me, the odds that AI is a bubble declined significantly in the last three weeks, and the odds that we're actually quite under-built for the necessary levels of inference and usage went significantly up in that period.

“… What's important about the last month is not just that en masse, the most enfranchised and highly technically literate AI users realized that we had reached an inflection point. It's that that perception has now cascaded into the wider world.

Basically, I think AI is going to become the home screen of a ludicrously high percentage of white-collar workers in the next two years, and parallel agents will be deployed in the battlefield of knowledge work at downright Soviet levels. The New York Times' Kevin Roos reposted it and said, This is why everyone was freaking out about clawed code over winter break.

“… the way that a technology impacts your life has basically nothing to do with the personality traits of the person who built it. In any case, as I was saying, there are increasingly groups of people who have credibility with different audiences and constituencies who are not trying to sell AI products, who are trying to convince people to look at it differently.
