  • I doubt that, given that NFL players are generally expected to wear the same helmet all season (unless it’s damaged or too old). It’s no longer a rule, but it was a rule from 2013 to 2021.

    A player’s helmets must be the same model under the new rules, so you couldn’t even have 1 normal helmet and 1 deformable helmet. I think that the ability to wear the Guardian Cap over top of a normal helmet is one of the main selling points for that reason.

    Deformable helmets would be a great idea to try, though. I just don’t think it would be timely. Maybe in 30 years?



  • While I understand your concern because I knew someone who was like that personally, that person’s ability and desire to constantly respond caused them a significant bit of distress, often replying to people with something like, “please stop replying because I feel compelled to say something in response.”

    Maybe shutting a user up every now and then would be a net positive.











  • We reached out to Spreen directly via email and he delivered his own summary of his girlfriend’s messages. “It was something along the lines of i can’t believe you just did that, we’re done, i want my stuff. we had an argument in a bar and I got up and left, then she sent the text,” he wrote.

    How did he feel about getting the news via AI summary? “I do feel like it added a level of distance to it that wasn’t a bad thing,” he told Ars Technica. “Maybe a bit like a personal assistant who stays professional and has your back even in the most awful situations, but yeah, more than anything it felt unreal and dystopian.”

    This really is just more funny than anything else to me. Sucks it was on his birthday, though.
