There is no plan at Twitter/X. There are only pants and paved cowpaths. : Global Nerdy
A sloppy rebranding As I write this — 11:10 p.m. on the evening of Tuesday, July 25, 2023 — more than a day since Twitter ditched the bird icon and name for X. The problem is that the rebranding wasn’t terribly thorough. Consider this screenshot from my Twitter/X home page: Also, if you click on the […]
My first thought upon seeing this Twitter space promo was “What are these jerkoffs up to?”

If there exists an AI-generated wrong-looking pizza ad, there must also exist an AI-generated equally wrong-looking *beer* ad. This one lives in the seething pit of the Uncanny Valley, and it’s creepily hilarious.

AI ad of the moment: “Beer Party in Hell” : Global Nerdy
Hot on the heels of the AI-generated pizza ad Pepperoni Hug Spot, here’s a beer commercial from an artifical intelligence that clearly has never been invited to a back yard party: There seem to be two versions of this ad online. One has Smash Mouth’s All Star as its backing track, while the other one […]
“Pepperoni Hug Spot” is a pizza ad whose script, visuals, voiceover, and music were generated by AI, and human hands were involved only in assembling the AI output. The result is so, SO WRONG. It haunts my dreams.

AI ad of the moment: “Pepperoni Hug Spot” : Global Nerdy
Good news, creatives — if this completely AI-generated TV ad for a fictitious pizza place is any indication, you won’t be replaced by artificial intelligence just yet. Just watch it. It’s so…off. The people’s eyes are off-kilter, the chef’s arm appears to be on fire, and the scenes of people eating pizza slices are so […]
If you remember the news story about a certain leaked royal phone conversation or have watched “The Crown,” season 5, episode 5, you’ll get the joke behind this display.

That’s ONE way to celebrate the king’s coronation... - The Adventures of Accordion Guy in the 21st Century
In case you don’t remember 1992 or were too young to remember it, this is — if you’ll pardon the pun — a very inside joke. (You can see a dramatized version of the story in the Netflix series The Crown, in season 5, episode 5, titled The Way Ahead.) To be fair, it’s a terrible …

John Stuart Mill was right: “Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are Conservatives.”
I’m working on my own YouTube channel for tech and have been watching what some of the ones that get lots of views do. That’s how I stumbled across this doomscroller’s dream of a financial channel.

This YouTube channel feeds on your financial fear - The Adventures of Accordion Guy in the 21st Century
If you visit YouTube but don’t sign in, its suggested videos are based on best guesses based on trends, your location, your recent browsing history and a few other factors. I do this from time to time to see what sort of things YouTube’s recommendation algorithm serves up. Last night, it suggested videos from the …

Peter Thiel pumped Bitcoin at the Bitcoin 2022 conference, talking about potential 10x/100x gains. A month before, his VC firm had divested itself of most of its cryptocurrency, raking in nearly $2 billion in the process.

Peter Thiel promoted Bitcoin after his fund sold most of its BTC holdings : Global Nerdy
In his keynote at Bitcoin 2022 in Miami (which took place in early April), Peter Thiel provided an “enemies list” of the “financial gerontocracy” and “woke companies” who just didn’t “get” Bitcoin, whom he accused of holding it back from reaching 10x or even 100x gains. You can see bits of his rant in the […]
