I can’t fathom Sean Payton ever giving up play calling knowing how he operates… And that should tell you everything you need to know about Davis Webb

Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth. "The greatest among you shall be your servant." — Matthew 23:11 @OluKai @CalFootball

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees. $30 per seat per month. $1.4 million annually. I called it "digital transformation." The board loved that phrase. They approved it in eleven minutes. No one asked what it would actually do. Including me. I told everyone it would "10x productivity." That's not a real number. But it sounds like one. HR asked how we'd measure the 10x. I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards." They stopped asking. Three months later I checked the usage reports. 47 people had opened it. 12 had used it more than once. One of them was me. I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds. It took 45 seconds. Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations. But I called it a "pilot success." Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail. The CFO asked about ROI. I showed him a graph. The graph went up and to the right. It measured "AI enablement." I made that metric up. He nodded approvingly. We're "AI-enabled" now. I don't know what that means. But it's in our investor deck. A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT. I said we needed "enterprise-grade security." He asked what that meant. I said "compliance." He asked which compliance. I said "all of them." He looked skeptical. I scheduled him for a "career development conversation." He stopped asking questions. Microsoft sent a case study team. They wanted to feature us as a success story. I told them we "saved 40,000 hours." I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up. They didn't verify it. They never do. Now we're on Microsoft's website. "Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot." The CEO shared it on LinkedIn. He got 3,000 likes. He's never used Copilot. None of the executives have. We have an exemption. "Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction." I wrote that policy. The licenses renew next month. I'm requesting an expansion. 5,000 more seats. We haven't used the first 4,000. But this time we'll "drive adoption." Adoption means mandatory training. Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches. But completion will be tracked. Completion is a metric. Metrics go in dashboards. Dashboards go in board presentations. Board presentations get me promoted. I'll be SVP by Q3. I still don't know what Copilot does. But I know what it's for. It's for showing we're "investing in AI." Investment means spending. Spending means commitment. Commitment means we're serious about the future. The future is whatever I say it is. As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

This is Bear Territory! @CoachLup #ComeToCal

God is Good. Mahalo to #CoachLup for coming to visit me and my family in HI. I believe in Cal and what this football program is capable of. #ComeToCal #GoBears #SmartAndTough

Sources: Cal star true freshman QB Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele has committed to return to Cal. He’s a former 5-star recruit who won the starting job as a true freshman in the opener, joining only Jared Goff to do that at the school.

Cal HC Tosh Lupoi shared excitement about resources and NIL: “When you're amongst an area of multiple Fortune 500 companies and you have a high-level alumni base that have been extremely successful in life, you have an incredibly competitive chance to be successful.”

Welcome back to Bear Territory, @coachlup #GoBears

BREAKING: Cal is hiring Oregon defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi as its next head coach, per @TheAthletic. Lupoi returns to his alma mater in his first stint as a head coach.

I will be forever grateful for Coach Wilcox and the impact he had on me. He gave me an opportunity that changed my life and helped me become a better player and a better person. I’m truly thankful for everything he gave to us

Looking forward to Justin Wilcox next program. He’s a really good coach.

Quickest way to prevent a scandal is to own up to your mistakes. Lurie is a great mayor for San Francisco. Why? Because unlike almost every single politician I've seen, he admits when he's wrong. That's a good sign. A really good sign.
