Description
The experiment series reached a turning point: Joey watched the G-Stod 2020 volleyball finals live in Switzerland, then went home and fed that same match footage to the machine learning pipeline. This episode documents the technical breakthrough when AI analysis caught up to real-time—and what the cleanest scoreboard reads yet revealed about the project's trajectory.
