The Premier League from Puny England as well. 2 million plus people for matches that are on at the same time as infomercials where not a single team has a home market in the US.
Most people can only watch the U20 team play in the QF of a world cup in Spanish on Peacock. This is... not great. (Game is on cable on Fox Sports Plus and Universo - not very common channels) Game IS on tape delay on FS1 - but if it goes to OT I am guessing they will cut it so they can go to baseball post game coverage. If you have to time shift I don't know if I recommend watching on FS1. You'll get an instant spoiler if they start the game from the 30th minute.
Who watches cable? It's on foxsports.com. I've been watching the tournament on FIFA+. I'm not sure if that's available in the US.
I think its blacked out on FIFA+ because Fox has the rights. And also Foxsports.com does not have on demand streams for some reason - perhaps FIFA+ DOES have streaming rights? This gets tricky fast. I feel bad for old people that are used to just turning the TV on and everything would be on the few channels they had haha EDIT - confirmed that FIFA+ only broadcasts in countries without TV rights. USA is not one of those countries. SECOND EDIT - who are the psycopaths in the USA that watched Gibraltar vs New Caledonia friendly on Fox Sports?
Please keep up. I said the QF. Yesterday's game had a similar problem but at least it was on FS2 and not FSP.
I watched on Peacock with the sound turned down because I cannot understand Spanish well enough to follow the game commentary.
I just noticed something for the first time on Season Pass . . . when I page through the screens looking for which game I want to watch on replay or recap, I now notice there's a little blurb written there which basically gives away the result, something kinda like "The Galaxy pull of a dramatic victory to round out their home schedule" or some similar bullshit headline. They shouldn't have any indicator whatsoever about results -- especially when the user has disabled the scores being revealed. This thread sees LOT of criticism about the Apple broadcast, everyone knows the common ones about how they're so clueless about the use of replay and / or whether the broadcasters should be onsite etc etc . . . but this thing with the results is about as stupid a thing as I have ever seen. I don't know if these just came up recently, but I've never noticed them before today. I really think that the person who authorized the use of these little descriptions, which are probably generated from some AI bullshit anyway, has never been a sports fan, and that it simply doesn't occur to them whatsoever why revealing the result is a problem for the viewers.
Not TV (not yet anyways) but media related, have at it: This sucks. A lot. I know from my own experience doing it— it is NOT expensive to pay humans to do this. I got invaluable development working there. As did countless others.But hey look at that, here’s a feedback form in case you also think it sucks https://t.co/08nytMp3Aw pic.twitter.com/p7oMxAQ9cI— Tom Bogert (@tombogert) October 12, 2025
That idiot doesn't get it. "invaluable training" for what? AI will be doing EVERYTHING before 2030. There won't be any jobs to get training for.
Hopefully that was sarcasm, but what is sarcasm is my next comment. What Tom doesn't understand is that there is invaluable training going on.. for the AI that will be replacing all us meat bags of water.
Apple TV+ to be renamed Apple TV (to be even more confusing with the platform and the device of the same name) Apple says Apple TV+ streaming service is being renamed as Apple TV, with "a vibrant new identity" (@eslivka / MacRumors)https://t.co/lNtB2cYovYhttps://t.co/dmG3HhKBLz— Mediagazer (@mediagazer) October 13, 2025
I agree that they don't get how spoilers are bad for a big portion of their user-base. What I've found most effective is just "blur" my vision and find the row that lists the teams, then scroll to my team and then usually the recap or full replay icons are the first/only thing I see... spoiler free. But they'll probably mess that up soon also.
As someone who gets lectured by higher ups to use more AI to do my work for me even though I already use tons of it - no sarcasm at all. None of us will have a job by 2030. There is nothing left to train for.
The promise of AI is overrated. There are definitely use cases where AI can replace humans, but the promise of AI as the everything is not remotely close.
They don't care anymore whether it's good enough or not. It's going to happen. Too much invested. Too big to fail. Just look at Google's front page. It literally lies to you more often than not, but they aren't getting rid of it. They don't care. The powers that be decided that AI is taking over and so that's what is going to happen.
Google's front page has been "AI" since it was created. The only difference now is that they've add a MLM summary. Google's main page also brings out an issue with AI.. Hallucinations. While hallucinations and bad info may pass on a summary of Google's search results where you have the links to the information to back up, but it is not going to fly in other areas where technical proficiency and accuracy are important. As an example, AI programming is dogsh*t on anything but the most basic of applications. If there is any level of difficulty (and talking beginner level complexity) it is more time consuming and expensive to use AI programming than it is to use human programming. For one, you need someone that is proficient in writing up the instructions in the AI and then, once the AI generates the code, you need someone to review the code to make sure it didn't hallucinate and/or actually did what you told it to do. In the end, it is better and less expensive to hire a junior programmer and train them to program for you application than it is to use AI.
Great example. It really is, and yet management is putting increasing pressure on us to stop writing manual code and just trust the AI "to speed things up". This tech is being shoved down everyone's throats.
