I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.
I love the World Cup. But the older I get, the more I realise it's about far more than football: each tournament tells us something about empire, migration, identity, power and the changing world. So: a few quick thoughts ! 1/5
Can we just take a minute to appreciate what SBS has done in the first few days of the World Cup…
From a broadcast perspective, they’re awesome.
Highlights, mini matches, extended highlights, full replays as soon as the match is done.
The hosts and panelists have done a great job between matches with informative and interesting discussion, not just ragebait and headlines.
And completely free.
In terms of a sporting product… jeez, it puts a few other outlets on the hot seat with viewers you’d think
“My mum could not be here either for a visa issue, and the money we had to pay for it.”
This is genuinely sad. What FIFA and the U.S. have done in this WC should not be brushed off as just another tournament controversy. A historic disgrace.
