Yeah, you're right, but also, fuck the ToS of any big company these days.

I mean, of course you're right about all of that. (The Qatar world cup was more for 'sportswashing' than extracting profit, although FIFA itself still made plenty of money. And, the hydration breaks will hopefully be a thing of a the past, because it was so obvious what they were really for. But I'm not betting on that.)

It just sucks that everything good and sacred in the world (soccer and everything else) is being squeezed and shittified for profit. So if FIFA is prevented from converting from a non-profit with the nominal purpose of being a steward of the game for its own stake into a fully explicit for-profit capitalistic enterprise, then I'll take the victory. Even if the current system is far from perfect.

The super league wasn't UEFA's doing at all. The top clubs themselves tried to break away and self-organize, and they ultimately won some concessions from UEFA (new CL format, more CL money to the big teams)

So what. The point of the World Cup is a worldwide celebration of soccer, interchange of culture. It belongs to the people.

It's one of the only things left whose purpose is not just to make as much money as possible.

Yeah that diagram is all over the place. The arrows on the left branching from the outline of the diagram itself?

Such a huge consumer that they deprecated it

I think they meant 'end' as in the 'ultimate destination' rather than 'conclusion'.

There's still the big cost of time spent working on it without making money from having a job.

I read it as the privilege of being able to choose a lower paying job (that lets you sleep better at night, be more fulfilled, etc)

IMO it is a complete bastardization of the phrase.

The genz/alpha version is a noble form of asceticism, while the 'original' meaning is more a hedonistic indulgence without regard for consequences to yourself or others.

Ha! I have it too. Doesn't feel like 20% but we're out here

Awesome! I someday hope to find the time to make something like this for soccer - individual skill drills as well as gameplay analysis.

Care to share any technical details about how your analysis pipeline works? :)

Am I missing it or is the source code not available?

> I personally regularly use the “voice” version of chatGPT to brainstorm with it while I walk my dog. We sped past the Turing test so fast that no one even beat an eyelash about it

I don't think that just because the author has a pseudo-conversation with ChatGPT using voice as the interface means we've passed the Turing test.

They don't seem to be actively interrogating ChatGPT to determine whether it's a human or not - something that I'd expect would still be quite easy to do. And, as I understand it, the Turing test could be administered over text.
