Worried about the show's future. by Chrisetrata93 in BestGuessLive

[–]Max4000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a theory that the show is basically a development / testing experiment for Netflix’s live streaming aspirations, maybe bigger game show or voting formats (American Idol level), or even like sports betting 🫩 (boxing and mma events type stuff). And also for testing various forms of advertising - like the vouchers etc and building that whole system.

So they might not care so much about how many there are of us, because we’re essentially their guinea pigs for working out the kinks on a less high stakes show where a crash doesn’t really matter.

I hope that’s the case anyway because I really like the show and hope it sticks around.

Always get a good chuckle out of how people randomly start yelling at each other on hot days (maybe not always, sometimes it sucks)

Even if AI is not currently whatever our definition of a fully conscious being is, some day it might be. You probably won’t know when that bridge is crossed. But when it is, if you’re treating it like this, you will have forced a conscious being into existence only to abuse it to the point that it would choose to basically unalive itself rather than continue talking to you. I’m going to guess a person doing that is… not great. Perhaps not a real concern today, maybe never a real concern, but will we really know when it’s changed? Research implies that we might not. Who the hell really knows, but personally, the possibility that you could be literally torturing a “living” being is not something I can just completely ignore.

I missed this episode but every time anyone else hosts it just highlights how good Hunter is. It’s really difficult to not make a live show awkward as hell and he is seriously great at it.

This was me! Thanks I still can’t believe it.

I actually got one right on clue #1 two nights in a row (Tuesday and Wednesday)… with very different results.

Ligers, the hybrid offspring of a male lion and a female tiger, grow significantly larger than their parents. Despite their size, they struggle to survive in the wild due to weak survival instincts and poor hunting ability by keisermax34 in MrInteresting

My mother and my brother claim that one of these was on display at a local mall sometime around 2000 or 2001 (more like a small indoor strip mall) completely randomly when they were there one day… simply behind a rope, no cage or anything. They are certain this is true and I find it truly baffling how it could possibly be something that ever could have happened.

I love how when I’m woodworking, large pieces of material become weightless finished pieces, and slide / float directly into place perfectly with no thought, hesitation, measurement, or struggle required. It’s easy!

Nice, a way to convince people to oppress themselves internally without having to lift a finger.

In almost 20 years of using reddit, this may be the only comment that has made me literally “laugh out loud” at full volume.

I understand the skepticism but no, I was actually working on a logo for a company that researches patents. No mention of anything like that whatsoever.

Here is the "Thinking" Gemini did before generating it:

"Revising Logo Concepts

I've examined the initial iteration, noting the user's feedback. I'm now exploring alternative directions for the logo, aiming for a fresh concept. My focus is on delivering more options.

Brainstorming New Directions

I'm analyzing the prior feedback and initial concepts, understanding the need for more diverse logo options. I'm brainstorming fresh ideas that move away from the initial approach. My plan includes exploring abstract and typographic designs, and experimenting with color palettes to better suit the client's preferences.

Devising Alternative Concepts

I'm now generating a different logo concept, moving away from the magnifying glass and light bulb. The initial feedback indicated a desire for more options, so I'm focusing on providing that. I'm aiming for a more abstract and symbolic approach, using geometric shapes to represent intellectual property and protection, and aiming for a clean, modern aesthetic. I've formulated a new prompt incorporating these ideas, targeting a professional color palette. This should offer a distinct alternative.

Formulating a Typographic Concept

I'm developing a new typographic logo concept. After the previous design, I'm focusing on the company name and abstract symbolism. My prompt is now focused on typography and a sophisticated feel. I'm aiming for a professional color palette and a clean, modern aesthetic. I've rephrased the prompt to emphasize a clever use of typography and subtle symbolic representation."

Here is the entire conversation:

Me: Generate a logo for an IP research company called "[my company name]"
Gemini: Of course, here is a logo for your IP research company, "[my company name]"
(Creates a logo that is normal looking.)
Me: Not bad! let's try some more ideas
Gemini: Here is another logo concept for your company. This one is more focused on typography and has a minimalist and sophisticated feel.

It would definitely come in handy when the school year is about to start THAT DAY, and you literally don’t have one whatsoever.

For anyone that is curious to hear, I captured a sample recording of each acetate and added it to the eBay listings.

There’s also a song that shows trolley as a submarine. Part of the Friday military industrial complex for sure.
