A University of Illinois professor who runs an analytics website thinks the transfer portal has hurt some power conference schools in the NCAA Tournament.
BALTIMORE, MD, April 1, 2025 – Can we really trust AI to make better decisions than humans? A new study says … not always. Researchers have discovered that OpenAI’s ChatGPT, one of the most advanced and popular AI models, makes the same kinds of decision-making mistakes as humans in some situations – showing biases like overconfidence of hot-hand (gambler’s) fallacy – yet acting inhuman in others (e.g., not suffering from base-rate neglect or sunk cost fallacies).

An astonishing 1,768 men’s college basketball players entered the transfer portal in November, the majority of whom were on Division I teams. With such a turnover of players, coaches are forced to revamp their rosters annually, integrating existing players, incoming transfers and freshmen into their system.

When Rihanna paused midway through her Super Bowl halftime performance to wipe the shine from her face with Fenty Beauty blotting powder, it was her flair for business, not her voice, that was momentarily on bold display. That three-second touch up, coupled with the bright lip she sported (Fenty's new Icon Velvet Liquid Lipstick in "MVP" red) and the outfits worn by her backup dancers (from her Savage X Fenty lingerie line, of course), garnered the Fenty brand a cool $7.8 million in the first 12 hours after the game, according to Launchmetrics, which measures the monetary value of media marketing strategies.
