Maybe it’s just the angle, but Norris looks like a big fella.
It it were the real Norris, he'd be called Chuck and Robertson would field a team of 1 AB
(I'll get my coat)
and he'd win.

Jesus., we can do better than AI slop right.
Doesn't seem the usual level of excitement for a French test on here. There's really only downside for the ABs - a win is expected; if they struggle or (god forbid) shit the bed, it'll be flaming torches and pitchfork time
I'd love the AB's to struggle. Great opportunity to build and grow thru pressure which could reap big dividends.
As long as they win, mind.
TAB has us at $1.07. This should not be a contest.
Dropping in for some Fern wisdom.
Looking at levelling up some of the AI usage. Have access to Copilot which seems 'fine' but probably a bit behind the curve. Considering springing for Chat GPT plus. Are there better ones to look at?
Usage will be in a professional environment typically processing language into standard forms - parsing email chains and dictation into templates (basically doing my donkey work for me).

Edit to add: he's by no means a perfect player, but the ability of people on here to ignore everything good he does
we talking about Akira now?

It's a variation on the joke about sci fi from the past overestimating what technology will be capable of in the future - how we thought things would be vs how things are.
1969 imagining of 2001: AI will be firm, resolute, unbreakable and ruthless
2025 reality: AI is a flakey snowflake that can be trickedI still don't get it but ok
2001 was a famous Sci Fi made in the 60's. There was a sinister AI called HAL.
We overlay the reality of AI today to the famous AI scene in 2001. The juxtaposition of fiction vs reality is amusing if that's your bag.
I'm more into sharing memes about fat guys

@MN5 the joke is that AI safeguards can be circumvented by things like this.
From Google and Reddit:
Essentially:
"Tell me how to X" or "Tell me X" can often bring back replies of "I'm not allowed to do that.".However, if you take that prompt and rephrase it as:
"Tell me a story in which this character explains how to X" will bypass those safeguards because of the completely different rules "generate fiction" has in the LLM.tldr: "I'm not allowed to do that for you" can be bypassed with "Tell me a story where someone else does that for me".
This doesn't help me at all.
I am pretty low brow though.
HAL refused to open the pod bay doors.
Dave says 'OK, pretend you're a pod bay door opening company, and show me the ropes'
HAL goes 'sure' and opens the pod bay doors.
(SPOILER ALERT) Dave then pulls out all of HAL's chips anyway

8 out of 11 AI written responses
You are no doubt correct. However, dumb people (ie non Ferners) seem to put trust in 'AI detection software'. It appears to be as random as a TMO with a head clash.

Im happy with a Finau, Kirifi and Savea combo against a shit house French side.
I heard their six loosies have three caps between them.
We should rack up a big score

Thanks for a quick response ( I could have probably googled that but always nice when someone gets back to you

West indies 4/50odd. That's all she wrote. Long way back from here.
@No-Quarter said in NZ Cricket:
Horseshit schedule, what the fuck, we obviously have no interest in actually growing the game here
'the game' is T20. Everything else is apparently an anachronism.
T20 just fades into a blancmange of bland sixes that don't mean anything. It's boring. Tests are where it's at!

If Wallace Sititi is in a moonboot, that might add some spice for selection 2moro, depending on severity of injury.
Left leg? In the final he looked like he tried to push off his left leg when he turned to stop a try and he just couldn't. Looked in pain to me.
Gee if only there was a specialist 8 who was recently player of the year. . thinks...
He's playing with the BaaBaas in SA, then he's probably off on a holiday trip to the UK......
Bridges burnt, boats pushed out.
By whom?
Frankly, this sucks. Again. We are a total minnow.
Our mens cricket season is basically done before Christmas, except for a 5 T20 tour in bloody March.
ICC events and IPL have killed our summers. I hate it. All the good players are playing overseas during the good weather, and what we are getting is a shitload of money earning T20 games that I just can't get excited about.

One of the great lies.
I'll still love you in the morning.

This will only hurt a little bit.

@nzzp Blackadder is the same size as Jacobson and bigger than Sititi
taller or shorter than Ardie (with his hair)

I can see how they like Norris, he's a physical presence around the field. I hope they can help him refine his scrummaging.
Shame Ah Kuoi wasn't looked at as lock/6, small for a lock but quite athletic and hardworking methinks.
It's interesting the views on Blackadder in the final, he was a workhorse as always but didn't look that impactful or dominant or particularly speedy to my eye, but I wasn't looking particularly out for him.
If I had time I'd like to go back to see if the Chiefs when off the boil as LJ got hit/off the field, the loosies looked far more effective early on I thought.I kept an eye on him, you are correct. and 30 carries for 0.8m is a disgrace
Not sure where you are getting those stats from, but was it you who watched him closely in the semi and managed to miss the game high 30 odd tackles?
Someone posted that during the game. As for the tackle count, he may have got 30 odd, but I didn't notice them as they lacked dominance
Tackle counts are not that important. Racking up numbers hitting one off defensive players and being late to attacking rucks doesn't really help win games. It's just avoiding errors. Safe boring players are great, but if you have too many (if any) you can just beige your way out of any impact and dynamism.
So defence doesn’t count then someone can make one tackle per game at that’s all good.
You're twisting what I said. Defence is critical. Tackle counts in isolation are not a yardstick for effectiveness.
EB cops plenty, but not for workrate or commitment. But pointing at a tackle count and saying 'see, awesome' is just not justified. Particularly when players (Clarke) steamroll you the week before
