Great. Now I’m going to be haunted by a recurring dystopian vision of the future in which all content (even broadcast TV) is pumped out this way to maximise profits. Humans won’t use their brains for creativity anymore. Instead, new ideas will be seeded deep inside a neural network somewhere, and our reactions will be monitored and used as one constant feedback loop. Until we are ultimately just sat drooling and gigg…

The movie "Her"[1] is already here with AI Chatbots. I was recently fooling around with open source 6B parameter AI chatbots. The model is 20GB. That's just for text and that's more text than I could read in my entire life. I could talk to the chatbot for my entire life and never get to the end of it. The amount of raw information that humans can I/O into their brains is very small compared to these chatbots. [1] htt…

Wee input a lot more than text.

So, would anyone like to take a stab at the stack/process/setup enabling this? Because I seriously wouldn't even know where to start.

In their Show HN post they mentioned some bits about the tech stack: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33833645 The visuals are rendered in Unity (I guess in real time), maybe their models spit out dialog including stage directions? Other links related to the show: https://linktr.ee/nothingforever

Wow that's post had 3 comments when it showed up 2 months ago.

There could be a huge business model here, cut costs massively on new TV shows or cartoons getting c churned out.

Can someone clever do this with David Lynch, please?

If you haven't seen it, you might enjoy this "AI generated, never-ending discussion between Werner Herzog and Slavoj Žižek": https://infiniteconversation.com/

I need more Slavoj sniffles, other than that, it's great!

Seinfeld was the first good sitcom. The only good thing about sitcoms is that there are only like 5 good ones, so you won’t waste too much time watching them.

Seinfeld was the first good sitcom. That's such a silly thing to say I'll assume it's intentionally provocative and not intended to be truthful rather than representing genuine ignorance. But for anybody young enough/daft enough to take it seriously, check out Fawlty Towers Young Ones Blackadder Yes Minister Dad's Army Etc Etc That's just a quick UK list off the top of my head, I'll leave others to correct the parent…

Your suggestions are all british, Seinfeld is obviously american. Maybe what the other person was trying to say was "Seinfeld was the first good american sitcom".

Maybe it's the typical US = The World issue :)

Sure but I included a couple of US ones myself as a starter, it was still a daft thing to say.

It’s a show about nothing. Or rather, it’s a Sitcom where they take mundane things in everyday life and obsess over them comedically. Some people find it doesn’t withstand the test of time and if you never saw it in the 90/00s you might not really care for it.

Besides being adopted by the marketing for the show, "show about nothing" was never really accurate. It was lifted from when George pitched the show-in-a-show (season 4's running plot). Especially in the earlier seasons, what Seinfeld is about should be apparent: There's a little standup skit performed by Jerry Seinfeld, with the usual ridiculous circumstances you'd hear in a standup skit. The episode that follows sh…

I think some misinterpret “about nothing” too literally. The entire show is about the minutiae of life, or to connect the dots more clearly, about “nothing important.” Indeed, the show gets a bit “meta” when it makes a copy of itself inside itself and is also about nothing.

The crappiness is unexplainably funny. Jerry speaking the cues in the comedy bits and saying "pause for applause", Elaine clipping through Jerry, George talking to the fridge. I lost it when it cut to an indoor shot with nobody in it for 2 minutes and then cut away.

Wow, I thought also the super spammy lol chat is AI generated as well, but it seems people find this really funny? I mean most of the ""jokes"" do not even have a bad punch line. That's the only thing I can lol at now, why wtf?

The chat collectively playing in to the nonsense is all part of the experience.

This is probably the first time I've encountered something where "It's so bad that it's good" makes sense to me. I could not stop laughing. The exterior shot with the Seinfeld-inspired music. The laugh track at inappropriate times. They talk about going to a sushi restaurant, and when they've finally agreed to go, they sit down and don't go anywhere. This is like the alien scientists who want to bring back humans aft…

must be that I am not native English speaker and I've never watched Seinfeld, except for some popular clip over the decades, but this is honestly so bad that is really bad. It's Sierra adventures bad jokes bad.

You have to be a Seinfeld fan to find it funny.
