Neuralink Has Implanted Its First Brain Chip (But Don’t Get Excited)

I know it’s been a while since I talked about Neuralink. A few years ago, I followed news about this endeavor closely because I genuinely believed that brain/computer interfaces was an important technology to develop. These days, I still believe that. I think it has only become more vital as the progress in artificial intelligence has accelerated.

However, there’s a reason why I haven’t talked much about Neuralink in quite a while. I admit some of that is because some pretty significant world events got in the way of following technology trends. However, a much bigger part of my disinterest came from the one behind Neuralink, Elon Musk.

The long and short of it is this. I once respected and admired Elon Musk for his efforts to develop new and emerging technology. But then, once I started scrutinizing him, his background, his business practices, and his tendency to make ridiculous promises that he can never keep, I came to the conclusion that Elon Musk isn’t just an unscrupulous businessman. He’s an asshole.

Believe me, there’s a lot I could say about him, but I prefer not to. Insulting someone with billions of dollars and access to high-priced lawyers is risky these days. I’ll just say that the combination of COVID-19 and buying Twitter didn’t really break Musk. It just exposed the kind of person he really is and that person is not one worthy of respect.

Now, with respect to Neuralink, there is still some real value behind the company, the efforts, and the technology. Integrating the human brain with technology isn’t just a promising field. It might very well be necessary if humans are to adequately adapt to a future in which there will likely be machines much smarter and more capable than any person who has ever lived. Even if AI never becomes as intelligent as an average human, having humans that can interact with it on a more intimate level could fundamentally change our species and our society for the better.

And to that end, Neuralink has officially taken a critical first step. According to NPR, the company has successfully implanted its first brain chip into a human participant. We don’t know many details, nor do we know the identity of the person who received the chip. We only know what was conveyed in the announcement, which is rarely something you can take at face value with Elon Musk.

But even if you don’t trust Musk, and you shouldn’t, this feat has been in the works for a while. Neuralink has been actively recruiting volunteers for implants for over a year now. And this effort was authorized by the United States Food and Drug Administration. The primary participants, at least for now, are those who have suffered brain or spinal chord injuries. So, it’s not like Neuralink is accepting applications from those who just want a brain chip for no reason.

That approach is to be expected. Even Musk has said that the initial efforts with Neuralink will focus on helping paraplegics or those suffering from conditions like ALS. If and when the technology matures, then it’ll expand access to other users, but still for therapeutic purposes. Eventually, it would get to a point where brain implants aren’t just treatments. They would be like smartphones that people willingly purchase and have implanted.

And it’s that last part where I believe proponents of this technology should temper their hopes. Until we know more about the patients, the nature of the brain implants, and the impact on the participants, nobody should be eager to get one themselves. These brain implants are not about to become the next iPhone. This is a technology that needs much more investment, refinement, and development.

And if history is any guide, you really shouldn’t trust someone like Elon Musk to deliver that level of advancement. Despite the persona he tries to convey, he is not Tony Stark. He is not a brilliant scientist or inventor. He just hires those kinds of people and has a nasty habit of screwing them over.

He is, and always has been, a salesman first. He may very well be a genuine futurist trying to make a better future, but his tendency to get into petty feuds on social media and say objectively dumb things should give everyone pause. But at the end of the day, he’s an obscenely wealthy, incredibly out-of-touch businessman.

That means he likely sees Neuralink as just another business that he hopes will make him even richer than he already is. Even if he believes in the inherent value of the technology, he will exploit it for billions if it ever becomes a viable commercial product. That’s just how billionaires operate. And given the distressing tendency for billionaires to be psychopaths, it would be unwise to give Elon Musk or anyone like him access to your brain.

Now, I’ll say it again. This technology is important and what Neuralink achieved is a vital first step. The successful operation of one brain implant means it’s no longer on paper. This technology is officially real. Like the first person who drove a car or the first person to fly a plane, this is a major leap in our ongoing efforts to develop better and bolder technology.

We don’t know where this feat will lead or whether it’ll pan out in any meaningful way, but it’s worth being hesitant and a little extra cautious. It’s not wrong to trust in the sincere efforts of others who want to improve the lives of others. But it’s always wise to be skeptical of the intentions of unscrupulous billionaires with inflated egos.

Super Bowl Memories: Why Super Bowl XLII Is My Favorite Super Bowl

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

In preparation for the Super Bowl, I made this video sharing some personal experiences with how I’ve watched this incredible game and why it means so much to me. I’ve been a big football fan all my life and the Super Bowl is the ultimate goal for all those who play it.

And while I’ve watched many great Super Bowls over the year, the one I remember watching most fondly was Super Bowl XLII when the New York Giants upset the undefeated New England Patriots. It was a hell of an experience and one we may never see again in football. But it gets to the heart of why I love the Super Bowl so much. Enjoy!

Update On (Non) AI George Carlin Special: New Details And Implications

Things tend to move quickly in the world of technology and artificial intelligence. And since the arrival of ChatGPT, the pace seems to have accelerated. I try to keep up with it as best I can. And I only really write or make videos about it if I have something meaningful to contribute.

But there are some stories I follow more closely for personal reasons. One such story has been the controversy surrounding the AI-generated George Carlin special that came out in early January 2024. I certainly hope I made my feelings on that issue clear. As much as I support the development of AI, I felt like this was in really poor taste.

It didn’t sound much like George Carlin. The humor, while funny at times, didn’t hit as hard as Carlin’s unique brand of comedy. And, most importantly, it was done without the consent of George Carlin’s family, namely his daughter, Kelly Carlin. It’s one thing to impersonate a dead celebrity with living relatives. It’s quite another to use an AI to create what could amount to a post-mortem piece of work that’s done in the mold of that celebrity.

Well, not surprisingly, Kelly Carlin didn’t stop at just scorning the creators of this AI special. According to the Hollywood Reporter, she filed a lawsuit against the creators of the comedy special on the basis that it’s an unauthorized use of George Carlin’s copyrighted work, while also illegally using Carlin’s name and likeness for promotional purposes.

Make no mistake. This case will be of immense interest to those concerned about how we use, abuse, and develop AI in the future. This, on top of new concerns about deepfakes for artists like Taylor Swift, is set to create some major precedents. And they’re bound to affect users, companies, and the nature of the AI’s themselves.

However, the filing of this lawsuit has added a new wrinkle to this controversy that is definitely worth acknowledging. It has since come out that the script for this “special” wasn’t a result of an AI generating it from a compilation of all of Carlin’s past works, as claimed by the creators. It was entirely written by a human named Chad Kultgen.

And, with all due respect to Chad Kultgen, his is no George Carlin. That really showed in the special.

Also, fuck Chad Kultgen for thinking he could match Carlin’s brilliance or even the capability of a non-human AI.

Now, this complication isn’t going to stop the lawsuit. If anything, it might strengthen the case of Carlin’s estate because it makes this special a much clearer violation of illegally using someone’s likeness or brand for promotional purposes. It might even raise to the level of fraud by claiming to be the product of an AI, but was actually just some guy trying to write a special and using George Carlin’s likeness to sell it.

And, regardless of how you feel about the legal implications here, that’s still a dick move. I can’t imagine that makes this any less difficult for Kelly Carlin or the rest of the Carlin family.

But, based on what we now know in wake of this lawsuit, the only thing AI was used for in making this special was to create the not-so-compelling voice that delivered this human-made script and the images included within the video. In terms of capabilities, that’s not a very impressive use of AI. If anything, that makes this special even less impressive.

One of my biggest criticisms of it was that it sounded nothing like Carlin in terms of tone and style. Considering that there are many existing AI tools right now that can closely mirror the voices of celebrities, this just makes the creators of this special seem cheap and lazy. But the script being entirely human-written does help add another important perspective.

As impressive as AI is at the moment, it is a long way from fooling anyone that it could mimic the nuance or mannerisms of a human, let alone one as special as George Carlin. I do wonder if those behind this special actually tried, but quickly realized it couldn’t be done. I also wonder if maybe someone who is even more unscrupulous will actually try again at some point, possibly with better AI tools.

If they do, then this lawsuit becomes even more important. Because the law tends to move much slower than technology. And if AI continues to advance, then incidents like this will become more common. For now, only time will tell what this will mean for the future of AI and those it impacts, living or dead.

Why NOBODY Should Ever Be As Famous As Michael Jackson

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

In this video, I explore the world of fame, fortune, and celebrity. And for people of a certain age, none achieved more of that than Michael Jackson. While his legacy in the annuls of pop culture might be a bit mixed these days, it’s hard to overstate just how big an icon he was.

But as monumental a figure he might have been, I strongly believe that NOBODY should ever be as famous as him ever again. That kind of fame might not even be possible anymore. But I feel it’s worth revisiting. Enjoy!

Jack’s Comic Gems | Lex Luthor: Man Of Steel

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This is video another entry in my ongoing “Jack’s Comic Gems” collection. And in this gem, I highlight a comic centered around the Lex Luthor, the arch nemesis to Superman and an unapologetic villain by which so many are measured.

For much of his history, Lex Luthor has been fairly transparent in his motivations. He HATES Superman. He hates everything he represents and embodies. He is, by every measure, a self-centered narcissist who believes himself to be superior to everyone on Earth.

But this story, Lex Luthor: Man of Steel, manages to add some depth to Lex’s villainy. However, it doesn’t try to make him more sympathetic. It doesn’t even try to vindicate or justify all the awful things that he does. Instead, it helps us understand what makes this man tick and it’s definitely a story worth checking out. Enjoy!

An AI Version Of George Carlin Just Released A Comedy Special (And That’s Disturbing)

There are certain celebrities and pop culture icons that we tend to appreciate more after they’ve passed away. Like everyone else, they too must face death at some point in their illustrious lives. And when they do, all the work they did becomes inherently more precious because it is now finite. There can be nothing new added to their body of work. It’s as set as the strongest bedrock. It might be upsetting to many fans, but it’s just a fact of life.

Then, artificial intelligence comes along and suddenly, there’s a crack in that bedrock.

Even as someone who has closely followed and written about artificial intelligence for years, I did not see this coming. And it took a form I never would’ve expected.

Recently, a couple of comedians utilizing an unspecified AI created an hour-long comedy special featuring the late, great George Carlin. That “special,” and I use that term loosely, is currently on YouTube right now. For reasons that I hope are understandable, I’m not going to link to it. Just know that, as of me writing this, it has racked up over 427,000 views and 11,000 likes.

Now, in general, I support the development of artificial intelligence. I still genuinely believe it is the most important technological advancement we could develop as a species. But this particular manifestation of its use has me both concerned and distressed.

For one, George Carlin is my favorite comedian. I would go so far as to call him the single greatest comedian of all time. And that’s an opinion many share. Ask most people who the best comedian of all time is and George Carlin is usually in the top five alongside the likes of Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce, Rodney Dangerfield, Sam Kinison, and Robin Williams.

To me, George Carlin is the best and there’s no close second. He’s one of those comedians who didn’t just find success over the course of multiple decades. You can still go back and watch his specials from the 1970s and his material is still relevant. His jokes, his style, and his brilliant insights are still on point, as well as hilarious.

George Carlin really was a one-of-a-kind artist, comedian, and philosopher. And when he passed away in 2008, his death hit a lot harder than most. But his legacy has only strengthened in that time as more people discover or re-discover his comedy. But this AI version of him is sure to complicate that legacy and for all the wrong reasons.

For one, this “special” was done without permission, review, or compensation to George Carlin’s family. His daughter, Kelly Carlin, has gone on record as stating that she did not authorize this, let alone receive compensation for it. This was not an instance of a celebrity willingly licensing their voice or likeness to a company, as James Earl Jones did with Disney in 2022. This was done without any consideration whatsoever for how Carlin’s family might react to this or what it might do to his legacy.

As for the special itself, I do admit I have listened to it. And I can confirm that it sounds nothing like George Carlin. The voice sounds like a terrible impersonation of George that someone half-drunk would try to do on a five-dollar bar bet. I promise nobody is ever going to mistake the voice in this “special” for George Carlin. I don’t know if that’s by design or just a limit of the current technology.

But with regards to the actual substance, this is where it gets even more distressing. Because in many instances, there are jokes and comments that actually sounds like something Carlin would say. Yes, they lack his distinct delivery, tone, and mannerisms. But many of his comments on politics, pop culture, people, and society really do feel like they might come up in a real special.

That said, there are also instances where it says things Carlin probably wouldn’t say. There’s nothing too egregious. He never says anything that sounds so out-of-character that it’s jarring. But it’s also clear that the content was edited. There are distinct breaks in the audio that indicate someone edited this to sound more refined. That leads me to believe that, whatever AI was used to make this definitely conjured some content that would’ve been too obviously out-of-character.

I’ll even go so far as to say that there are some parts of the special that are funny. It still doesn’t resonate as well as one of Carlin’s classic comedy specials. But there are jokes in this special that probably will make some people laugh. It’s not entirely clear if those jokes were purely the product of the AI or if those behind it tweaked the language. But the humor is there.

Be that as it may, just listening to a small part of this special feels off. Beyond just sounding painfully synthetic, it establishes a precedent that the estates of other dead celebrities would be wise to consider. Because George Carlin isn’t the only one with a long catalog of comedy, writings, interviews, and movie credits.

Who’s to say that an AI like this won’t do the same for Robin Williams or Richard Pryor? It wouldn’t even be restricted to comedians, either. The works of musicians like John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, Michael Jackson, and Elvis Prestly could also be used to create entirely new songs that might sound eerily similar to something they might have created.

If that happens, what does it do to their legacy? What happens if an AI creates something in the mold of a dead celebrity that says or does something outrageous, offensive, or detrimental? What would it do to their legacy? What would it do to their still-living families?

I honestly can’t imagine how someone like Kelly Carlin must feel hearing a poor imitation of her dead father. But I can easily imagine other celebrity heirs or estates willingly licensing their dead relatives to make extra money somehow.

It could mean we’ll be seeing more strange, distressing content like this in the coming years. And as AI technology continues to improve, it will likely get to a point where it’s so capable that it’s almost too believable. I don’t claim to know what kind of world that might create or lead to. I just know that “specials” like this won’t stop with George Carlin.

Sexy Short Story: Love In The Dark

The following is a sexy short story inspired by about a couple who loved hooking up on moonless nights. Enjoy!


Tara Linden had always had an active sex life. Since she started dating in high school, she didn’t hide her fondness for such basic acts of intimacy. Nobody would ever accuse her of being a full-blown nymphomaniac, but every man she dated came to appreciate her desires.

However, appreciating her sexual appetites weren’t the same as actually complementing them. That proved quite difficult, resulting in a number of failed relationships that started off passionate, but eventually fizzled out.

Then, she met Aaron Hargrave – the man who ultimately became her husband. He put in more effort than any past lover, seeking to meet her passion with his own. It helped that he had been just as active as her when it came to sex. But that was only part of the challenge. The real issue was finding a way to align their desires on top of satisfying them.

In doing so, she and Aaron discovered an unusual quirk to their sex lives – one she didn’t expect, but came to cherish. As it turned out, she and Aaron had the best sex when they did it in the dark.

“Another dark, moonless night,” Tara commented as she climbed into bed, wearing only black panties and a matching nighty. “Glad I’m not as tired as usual.”

Laughing to herself, she recounted how they’d discovered this quirk. When they first got together, they made love like she had with many of her past partners. They often did it in the middle of the day or with the lights on, enjoying the sights and spectacles of sex in addition to the sensations.

But then, one night the power went out. And they were basically alone in the dark with a storm raging outside. Tara still didn’t know what possessed them to make love that night. But when they did, having to navigate the act in a darkened room with nothing but their hands and their horniness to guide them, they felt a real difference.

There was just something about Aaron feeling his way around her body that made it more intimate.

And there was also something practical to it – him not having her naked body to focus on during the act.

Whatever the quirks, it made for some of the best sex they’d had to that point. They even made use of it on their honeymoon, making sure they blacked out the windows of their hotel. Since then, it became a regular part of their love life. They still enjoyed doing it with the lights on every now and then. But Tara knew their most intimate moments often came under the cover of darkness.

“Hope you’re not too tired tonight, babe,” Tara said to herself as she curled up under the covers.

She tried resting her eyes, at first. She didn’t expect to fall asleep quickly, still too restless from a long day at work. Aaron was about to turn in, as well. She’d heard him in the bathroom brushing his teeth before turning in. He’d been up late chatting with friends, planning their next camping trip later in the month. He didn’t sound tired. That was a good sign to her.

She’d only bee in bed for twenty minutes when Aaron entered the bedroom. She pretended to be asleep while he slipped out of his pants and T-shirt, leaving him in just his briefs. That was usually what he slept in. And as soon as he turned off the lights, he slipped into the bed with her.

The feeling of his warmth certainly helped her relax. And naturally, he gravitated towards her. She sensed he was somewhat tired. But when he curled up beside her, spooning her from behind, he lightly wrapped his arms around her. In doing so, Aaron’s restlessness once again showed, among other things.

Initially, he just laid with her, his arms still draped over her. But slowly, under the covers and within the darkness, he began feeling up her body. Tara offered no protest, even letting out a silent gasp of approval. Encouraged, he stealthily reached under her nighty and grasped her breast. Since she wasn’t wearing a bra, he got a nice handful of her fleshy mound. His touch was more than enough to spark that initial desire.

“Mmm…you’re wearing less than usual,” her husband commented.

“It’s hot. I was feeling lazy,” Tara replied through the content purrs.

“You expect me to believe that?” he scoffed.

“Does it matter?”

“Not at all.”

Her grin widened as he continued rubbing her breasts, showing a skill and thoroughness he didn’t usually show in broad daylight. It was as though he were tracing every feature, trying to visualize her ample breasts. Doing so just happened to involve squeezing her mounds and rubbing her nipples in just the right way, rousing her desires and igniting a fresh heat between her legs.

As Tara gasped and purred under Aaron’s touch, she shed her nighty. It would just get in the way at that point. Despite the late hour, she was too alert to simply relax. She wanted more. She desired more. And if hard flesh poking her from within his briefs were any indication, Aaron shared that desire.

“Your tits feel better than usual, tonight,” he commented. “Let’s see what’s going on inside your panties.”

Aaron spoke with such deep, masculine overtones. Just hearing those words sent Tara into a frenzy, tapping into the most primal parts of her brain and body. Arousal mixed with anticipation as she felt him trace his hand down her core, softly trailing over her abdomen and navel, and eventually reaching the eager flesh between her legs.

He was careful, but direct upon slipping his hand under the thin fabric of her panties. As soon as she felt his fingers graze over the slit of her vagina, hot shivers coursed through her body. And Tara let out a light gasp to voice her approval. Encouraged, Aaron continued working his talents, slipping two finger inside her folds to feel the slick warmth within.

“So hot and wet,” he commented. “Guess you weren’t lying when you said it was hot.”

“Not…entirely,” Tara said through sharp gasps.

The touching and teasing continued. The combined stimulation of her breast and vagina hit all the right triggers, turning her burning desire into a tangible, physical want for his sex. It became more physical for Aaron as well. The continued grinding against her from behind, his pelvis rubbing right against her butt, intensified the growing hardness within his underwear. That shared want grew and grew. She could even feel it in his breathing as he rested his chin on her shoulder, more masculine sounds supplementing his every gesture.

Finally, the escalating foreplay culminated. All Tara had to do was say the word.

“Make love to me,” she said through her gasps. “I want it…so much.”

Aaron didn’t say a word, offering only a masculine grunt of affirmation. From there, he swiftly removed her panties, the darkness giving no hindrance whatsoever. His brief followed shortly after. Tara almost immediately felt the hardened tip of hie penis rub against her exposed thighs. The simple touch of their naked flesh seemed to provide the last spark, allowing instinct and passion to guide the act that followed.

Her eyes still closed, but with a beaming grin on her face, Tara got onto her back. Aaron then got on top of her, their bodies perfectly aligning themselves through the darkness. She eagerly spread her legs and wrapped them around his waist, further deepening their embrace. That helped guide him the rest of the way, the tip of his member now touching her outer folds. Upon feeling it, he buried his face in her shoulder and neck – grasping her waist with both hands before carefully entering her.

“Oh God…Tara!” Aaron gasped.

Tara let out a deep, affectionate purr. The sweet, smooth penetration of his flesh sliding into her – the tight folds of her vagina stretching and embracing every inch – it was ecstasy. It was beautiful. It was their love taking the form of a real, genuine act. And once their flesh was entwined, the act manifested in that wondrous lover’s dance they knew so well.

It was slow and steady.

Yet, at the same time, it was so thorough and focused.

In the darkness of the night, there was no visual guide – no sight of one another’s naked bodies. Every movement, touch, thrust, and undulation had to be done entirely through feel and familiarity. Aaron knew her body so well. And Tara knew his – knowing where, how, and with what intensity to touch him. They each put their knowledge to good use, making love in the darkness with a harmonic grace that needed to be felt instead of seen.

“Yes! Yes! Ohhh Aaron…my love!” Tara moaned into the night.

“Tara…so beautiful,” he gasped.

Her smile widened. Him calling her beautiful, despite the limited visibility, just made his words more sincere. With growing passion, she raked her nails over his back, feeling around every masculine sinew as he made love to her.

Together, their bodies moved and grinded together in a sensual heat – naked skin complementing naked skin. Inside her, Tara felt his hardened flesh stimulate all the right spots. Between his touch and sentiment, he stimulated all the right areas – physically and emotionally. And through the exertion, she felt the heat inside her building up – the well of sensations escalating with each intense exertion.

The final result was a late-night orgasm that washed over her like a hot wave of pure pleasure.

“Oh God! Oohhh God! Oohhh yes!” she cooed as the feeling hit.

Her toes curled, her knees bent, and her core erupted in a wondrous release of sensations. She also made her distinct O-Face that Aaron once said looked so adorable – her biting her lower lip while her eyes fluttered liked she were drunk. She knew he was picturing it at that moment. He’d slowed his movements, feeling the extra tightness around his penis. Her orgasmic cries moans always seemed to enchant him. And while she savored the feeling, he lovingly kissed the side of her face.

“I love making you come,” he said, “even in the dead of night.”

Tara replied with another loving purr, offering more affectionate gestures to show her appreciation. However, she had no intention of thanking him with a simple kiss and a hug. The man she loved deserved better. He might not have expected her to climax as quickly as she did, but he had to expect her to return the favor.

Once again, they acted on raw instinct and intense desire. Tara, demonstrating more strength than she thought she had before turning in for the night, grasped Aaron by he shoulders and rolled him onto his back. He offered no resistance, even laughing somewhat at her sudden burst of energy. Tara laughed too, knowing she still had energy to spare.

Now on top, she skillfully straddled his waist – her pelvis still aligned with his and his still-erect penis rubbing against her moist outer folds. Even though her body was still processing the echoes of her orgasm, she eagerly guided his penis back into her flesh – her hot folds surrounding his length once more.

Their flesh once again united, she began riding him. Her eyes remained closed, but her focus never wanted. Just like he’d done with her, Tara let the feelings and sensations guide her movement. Through smooth, steady gyrations, she worked her tight folds along his hardened penis – putting some extra intensity into every motion.

She could sense through his gasps and grunts he was close. His kept his hands on her hips at first. But as he drew near, he directed them to her bouncing breasts – a clear indicator that he too was ready for his share of ecstasy.

“Oh God! Tara…I’m close! I’m really…really close!” he grunted.

“Do it, my love,” she told him. “Feel this…with me!”

She took his hands in hers and squeezed her breasts with him. A warm shiver coursed through her body again, which felt amazing even after an orgasm. It also gave her the extra push she needed to guide her love beyond the brink.

She heard it in his heavy breathing.

She felt it in the way his penis tensed inside her, ready for an overdue release.

When Aaron let out that distinctly orgasmic grasp, she steadied her hips and held him closer. She then felt that distinctly warm feeling of hot, seminal fluids filling her depths – mixing with her feminine justices within. She’d always loved that feeling – the manifestation of their sex converging inside her. It made for a uniquely intimate feeling – a physical connection to go along with the love they’d made together.

“Beautiful…” Aaron said through his orgasmic daze.

“Indeed, it is,” Tara said in agreement, smiling widely through the darkness.

They still couldn’t see each other, but they didn’t have to. Tara could feel his loving smile on her. And she was confident that he felt hers, as well.

For a moment, they lingered in their sexual union – her womanly flesh milking him for every drop of his masculine release. Once the orgasmic rush subsided, she parted from him and captured his lips in a soft kiss. Through the darkness, they found one another once more. And this simple gesture capped off a wonderous act that had emerged through the darkness.

“I love you,” Tara said as she rested her head atop his chest.

“I love you, too,” Aaron replied.

“Even when it’s dark…even when I think I’m tired…you know how to treat a woman,” she said.

“What can I say? It’s a gift and a skill.”

“Call it what you want, babe. I’m happy to share both.” “So am I.”

The NFL Playoffs, Peacock, And A (Bullshit) Precedent

I love football. I hope I’ve made that abundantly clear by now.

And this is one of the best times of the year to be an NFL fan. It’s the start of the NFL playoffs. The regular season is over. The best teams have set themselves apart. And now, it’s time to see who is ready to make a championship run to the Super Bowl.

As an NFL fan, these next few weeks are often among the best. But this year, we encountered an unexpected complication. One of the biggest matchups of Wild Card Weekend, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins, was not available to watch on standard broadcast or basic cable. Instead, fans had to use the Peacock streaming service to watch it.

Now, let me go on record as saying I fucking hate this.

Seriously, fuck the NFL for making this kind of bullshit deal. This isn’t some random regular season game, nor is this a streaming service that most people have. This is the goddamn playoffs! These are all national games that, for over 50 years, have been available to watch on basic broadcast and cable. It seems so simple, putting a major sports event on TV in a form where most people can watch it.

But this time, the NFL decided to fuck all those loyal fans over by essentially locking a playoff game behind a goddamn paywall. And this is after they recently repackaged NFL Sunday Ticket with YouTube TV for nearly $500! I know the NFL is the biggest sports league in America by a very wide margin. I also know football is the most popular sport by an even wider margin. But this is just bullshit greed taken to a whole new level.

And, given how the NFL seems to not give a damn about fan outrage, I have a feeling this won’t be the last time. Peacock, which is owned by NBC Universal, paid the NFL a lot of money to stream that game exclusively. They don’t care if it pisses off fans. They just care if it gives them a small uptick in subscribers. And because fans have little power in wake of all that money, this is going to set a bullshit precedent that nobody outside executives likes.

Even though the outrage even drew ire from congressmen, I don’t know if that will change anything. I just know that, if this bullshit deal made both sides extra money, then they’re going to do it again and it won’t matter how pissed off fans are. That’s just the world we live in.

So, in wake of this level of hopelessness, I just want to say one more time fuck the NFL! Fuck NBC Universal! And fuck Peacock!
