Christopher Nolan says that “AI is a Trojan horse that everybody knows the Greeks are inside.”
“It’s a transparent horse, it’s made of glass. Everybody can see what’s going on inside of there… I’ve never seen a technology advancing so rapidly, so completely rejected by the public.
Everybody’s suspicion of it is so extreme, particularly young people.”

@11Yanks I really think we’re getting close, most kids my age (21) talk and know about soccer. Once the old generation phases out, soccer will become way bigger in the US
a lot of people who claim to love this country actually just love capitalism and that they personally attained wealth through it
there’s no love for what actually unites America. there is zero civic pride. no care for the common good.
they don’t love the U.S. they love the USD.
Leandro Trossard is 5'8, 145 pounds soaking wet and just cooked Sergino Dest, who, on paper, would be touted as a better "athlete".
Youri Tielemans is 5'9 and may run a slower 40 than most P4 offensive linemen and controlled the entire match.
Tired trope is tired.
Mauricio Pochettino said that ‘American sports reward losers’ when asked about the style of play in top European nations vs. in the U.S. 😯🇺🇸
QUESTION: “We know how England, France, Spain play… Players from countries with a strong tradition have a recognizable style. What is the style of the US team? What kind of football do the Americans want to play?”
ANSWER: “Their culture is playful. They want to play. We told them, “Guys, playing soccer is one thing, competing is another.” They’re two completely different sports. They grow up in a culture of playing. Why? If you start in MLS and you haven’t won a game in three months and you’re at the bottom, what’s the consequence if there’s no promotion or relegation, no international competition? American sports reward losers! But soccer is different: if you reward those who don’t win… If you don’t have goals, you don’t fight. If I lose, what happens? Nothing. They just fire the coach. Also, the American player is disciplined. But with a sense of complacency that isn’t good in soccer. It took us a year and a half to change that mentality.”

I know the moment they play the Star Spangled Banner 🇺🇸🦅on Friday I am going to become delusional once again.
Fu*k it!!
Semifinals it is!
I am putting $2000 on it.
In my opinion, this is the moment that changed my mind about soccer in this country. This isn’t 1994 anymore.
Nearly 70,000 strong. All of them cheering our USMNT with no Germans outnumbering us ⚽️🇺🇸💪
Inject this feeling into my veins 🏆
@Brett_Pats Should be better, but the coach is just here for a money grab and doesn’t actually understand the US team and what it needs. Getting out of the group stage should be probable
