Reminiscing from the floor about Gary V's beautiful mind
Added 2024-02-20 21:17:50 +0000 UTCIt's truly spectacular

In the most generous interpretation he's working off the assumption that we will all pivot qr codel like technology to read every type of image scanning it in a database for its data as an NFT, and the assumption layered on top of it is that there will be a sentimental value attributed to certain digital assets and receipts; like the digital receipt to a plane ticket that crashed and whether or not someone would be macabrely interested in the technicality of ownership for it. Though also not because he's saying that the actual value will come from the art itself which would need companies to sign off on unnecessary and potentially expensive amounts of work (contingent on them not just generating it from machine learning image and video generators and that people are sentimental about the prompt that was used to make it), so its value comes from the same aesthetic appeal that a vintage bottle of coke would have. This type of LinkedIn posting always makes me smile. I was upset when the Wham City Comedy collective dissolved, but I'm happy to see that their sense of humor lives on as life imitates art.

2024-02-27 23:13:45 +0000 UTCI was actually just thinking about this Gary V quote a few days ago. When I first heard the quote it was in a video of his sales pitches, sandwiched in between his list of accomplishments and the insistence that flipping yard sale/thrift store goods on eBay was the fastest path to millionaire status he could think of. I hadn't bothered to learn what an NFT actually was yet, but Gary's conviction when he said it made it seem so REASONABLE. The quote stuck in my brain. Knowing what I know now, the statement "Your movie ticket will be an NFT soon." is actually too stupid to interact with.

2024-02-27 04:06:39 +0000 UTCIn addition to not knowing how QR codes work, I'm also assuming Gary V doesn't know how restaurants and flights work, because I've never been to a restaurant that didn't have regular physical menus available, and you can still check in for your flight at the airport terminal and get a paper boarding pass with a barcode on it, I literally just did that yesterday.

2024-02-22 00:34:42 +0000 UTCBarcodes and QR-Codes are literally only numbers and letters, a scanner is a faster Keyboard. If you change the language settings or even use Capslock with the output changes.

2024-02-21 21:46:45 +0000 UTCit’s worse though, because he’s got enough cash and social capital to survive most losses on some silly would-be gambling of/on the future, and the people he’s suckering in with his messaging are the ones who’ll pay for it. i can’t fully tell how self-aware he is tbh

2024-02-21 20:16:11 +0000 UTCi was literally thinking about this in the shower a few weeks ago, the overlap you pointed out between crypto believers and gambling addicts just stuck with me, esp having gambling addicts in my family - i’ve been fascinated with gary vee’s whole schtick for years now, and it feels like watching someone go from betting big on the superbowl to gambling their second mortgage on a thai kids soccer team and a coin toss, just someone scrambling for the next big win

2024-02-21 20:13:22 +0000 UTC'from some specific flight' (or from some specific person), yeah absolutely: I'm sure some people are paying for f.i. a 911-ticket or a baby Taylor Swift ticket or some such. But of course nobody is paying for a random used ticket from a random dude.

2024-02-21 18:29:57 +0000 UTCIt seems like it would be remarkably uncomfortable to lay down on your drill case. Aside from Gary V's breathtaking lack of sophistication, what brought about this confluence of events?

2024-02-21 18:08:16 +0000 UTCThis close up shot has me asking a lot of questions about how you eat with a moustache that long. Brainstorming here: straw, just get food in your moustache and clean it frequently/sometimes/wait till the end, big mouth style, I guess avoiding some foods is on the table (but seems like more work than a trim.)

2024-02-21 16:56:55 +0000 UTC‘X doesn’t know what y is, yet we allow this man to have power and influence’ is a nice summary of where the 21st century is at atm

2024-02-21 15:19:55 +0000 UTCGary V does not care nor need to know how or why QR codes work, he's a grifter and a professional bullshitter who, at that point, identified an opportunity to shill crypto with a story that, like all crypto stories, does not need to make actual sense except to those who also don't understand (or indeed want to understand) anything, and also desperately want you to buy into crypto.

2024-02-21 06:05:12 +0000 UTCI read the "an artist attached to it" in a "woah, a famous person had this". But yeah, absolutely, it doesn't make the G5 post any more reasonable :)

2024-02-21 04:38:12 +0000 UTCThere's got to be a word (probably German) that describes the feeling when you hear something so utterly, incomprehensibly stupid, that your brain has to reboot amidst an overwhelming feeling of giddy resignation.

2024-02-21 04:24:45 +0000 UTCA tech exec makes a *~thought leadership~* post and a thousand sys admins cry out in anguish somewhere. Also, everything from the angle of this video to the drill(?) to the existential disbelief at a LinkedIn post really speaks to me on a "11PM on a Tuesday trying to fix my bloody dishwasher again" kinda way.

2024-02-21 03:27:49 +0000 UTCI have never related to anything more in my life than the urge to lay on the floor next to a drill and contemplate a nonsensical LinkedIn post. I feel seen.

2024-02-20 23:01:27 +0000 UTC(To be far more fair than the thought deserves, there are people out there who collect (extremely specific) concert tickets or train tickets, and so I'm sure that someone has paid non-zero cents for a used ticket from some specific PanAm flight. But non-zero is several orders of magnitude from anything that is within eight steps of illogic to what the subject post is vaguely gesturing toward.)

2024-02-20 22:46:09 +0000 UTCNow that I think about it, he's practically an LLM, stringing together words in a optimal way to get people listening without actually understanding the meaning of those words
Matthew Schaap
2024-02-20 22:18:37 +0000 UTCI think you can shorten the conclusion of this video to "Gary V doesn't know, yet people listen to him."
Matthew Schaap
2024-02-20 22:16:12 +0000 UTCBased on the drill on the floor, 100% this is Dan doing some renovations but he's so distracted by this intrusive thought so he makes this video
Ghilz
2024-02-20 21:59:46 +0000 UTCI appreciate the confirmation that Dan also has seen münecat's Gary V video
Julia Krystosek
2024-02-20 21:44:38 +0000 UTCI think this post did Dan some damage 😞
Christian Schenk
2024-02-20 21:36:11 +0000 UTCBrings me back to the Mikkelsen twins video, specifically to how low the standards are to sell people advice. If you do it for clout it doesn't even need to be accurate. You can just outright lie or say nonsense and people will think you're a visionary because you're saying things no one else is saying.

2024-02-20 21:36:01 +0000 UTCIs that a munecat shout out
Alan Wiggs
2024-02-20 21:31:14 +0000 UTCThe vibe of this is very much, “I got tired of everything in the middle of trying to do home improvements and decided to lie down with my head by my drill and talk about NFTS” and I relate to that a lot.
Alyssa
2024-02-20 21:28:53 +0000 UTCThere are a lot of different interpretations of what that post could mean, and every single one of those is utterly mind-boggling. My brain chemistry is permanently altered by exposure to this post.
