    18:24 This is wrong. They used the river for all 5 of the events that were scheduled to be in the river. They delayed the men's triathlon by one day, and also cancelled a triathlon training session. The reason is that the river was at safe levels, then it rained for the first few days of the Olympics, which increases poop levels. When the competitions took place the poop levels were below safety guidelines.
    Also, I did see somewhere that a couple of the athletes involved did get E. Coli afterwards, but im not 100% sure if that was real or not.

      Big execs were sold on dropping literally trillions on ai projects, on the idea of "AI" in the science fiction sense that will Replace Workers, Replace Consumers, etc etc etc. "revolutionize the system" (don't think too hard about how capitalism will still work if nobody has a job, haha : D)
      What they currently have is fancy algorithims that are very, very good at averaging out lots of data into new expressions of that data
      (crunch the numbers on 3 billion Drawings and extrapolate the basic patterns of Drawing to make a New Drawing, etc)
      But it can't navigate a webpage, it can't come to conclusions, it can't solve an open ended logic problem, literally Videogame NPC ai is better than it at Navigating Space, etc.
      And there aren't Immediate scaling solutions to this problem. You can't just give these ai's more processing power until they become conscious(though it hasn't stopped from from trying), there's a fundamental lack of capability
      Which is very bad. For them, of course. Because it doesn't have a real use case that would result in mass purchase, so there's no profit margin on their trillion dollar investment.
      So what's essentially happening right now is, they're buying time. Trying to stave off a crash and betting on maybe lucking into some amazing innovation that will save their product.

      It's fitting that AI's biggest practical use is redundant with any search engine, because AI is essentially a nuanced search engine (which is why using AI generated images and text is plagiarism). The most (only) impressive part of the technology is the file compression involved, but it is extremely lossy even with self-correction (which also makes it dangerous to use for anything important).

I know that with the way kids are consistently underestimated, being a kid with a high IQ must be much worse now that you'll be under constant suspicion of using AI if you write like an adult. Some of the things I heard growing up mostly in the 90s and 00s were already outlandish, but at the end of the day I rarely got punished or placed under suspicion for doing _too_ well, apart from the occasional suspicion that my parents were writing homework essays for me.
      Anyway, from all I've seen, the recent obsession with big data Markov chains and calling them AI has been almost strictly destructive to human culture and quality of life. Its real and legitimate applications are limited and its products are obnoxious. We'll all be better off if and when this fad dies.

      Exactly. Serena Williams is an interesting choice for that ad since I only know about her from the time she got disqualified from a championship game by the ref because she kept throwing little tantrums. In her defense the last strike was her coach making hand signals in the audience, which she claims she didn't see or ask for and I believe her, but she's known to have a horrible temper and I don't respect her. The woman who was up against her only won the championship because Serena couldn't check herself, robbing the other athlete of a genuine victory and overshadowing what should have been a glorious day for her.
      Yes, you are a horrible person if you have no empathy for your rivals and want to snatch everything they've earned from them. I honestly think this was a horrible ad for Nike and it does reflect badly on them, because they're siding with the worst aspects of competitive events that ruin the whole thing for everyone.

      I mean in a more nihilistic view the entire point of competition is to beat down the opponent. To prove you're better in that moment and seize the opportunity to progress for yourself, robbing that opportunity from everyone else in the process. It's a perfectly valid emotion to portray when trying to emphasize the competitive spirit and one that is by no means novel. It's just not one people sensationalize as often because it's a bit more of a brand risk. Like think about it. What do you do when you win a heart-racing match? Do you immediately look picturesque and go "Hey, good game other team. I hope we can play again and you can win next time :)" or do you pop the fuck off from the rush of winning like "LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO" and pat your team on the back and stuff then do the sportsmanship later?

      Meh. I wouldn't describe nutrient goop as inherently dystopian. It's a tool. Sure, if all your meals were replaced by it against your will, that'd be dystopian. But AI is kinda inherently big-brother-esque, and reminds one of 1984, THE definitive dystopian world. I'd compare the nutrient goop to something like supplement pills. Nobody thinks supplements on their own are dystopian, but if you instead imagine a mandated multi-nutrient pill that every citizen MUST take every day... Then it's pretty dystopian.

    For a while I seriously thought Adidas only bought the rights to a Queen song to jumpscare viewers with their specific rendition of the yelled word "pressure". But still a winner of the duel in my book.
    To the Nike one my main reaction was "stop yelling at me and ask your therapist or sth". A good ad in terms of exposure (but really, who tf hasn't heard of Nike for the "any press is good press" to be the play for them?), but associating your brand with a "you have to be a vile human being to reach the top" philosophy is not a good look. Why would I want my style to project the message "I will screw you over as long as it benefits me" to the people I encounter?

    There was a group of civilians who came with us and they were handing out these free rings to anyone who wanted it as long as they signed a paper agreeing that their data would be collected.
    Those rings actually collect a lot about you. Your location, it knows when you’re awake or asleep, if you’re stressed or happy and a lot more.

    Here in Australia we have an Advert for a plasma donation charity, with one of our Olympic swimmers who now has an autoimmune disorder. The feeling is somber and triumphant with him thanking people who donated.
    A few weeks later another add appeared with one of our Olympic runners (who lit the cauldron at Sydney 2000.) it has the same tone as the first ad hitting the same beats focusing on the athletes Diabetes, however unlike the first, this one is trying to shill a product in the form of a diabetic shake.
    This must not have gone down well with people, as I still see the first ad, but the second is nowhere to be seen.

    That Nike ad is actually incredible. I think the main reason it works is because all the other ads are about togetherness when the current cultural climate is very much swaying in the opposite direction, thus making NIke stand out even more. Also that BBC one was really cool. The rotoscoped but artistically tweaked animation and the colour choices are just kinda neat

    Nike’s ad is out of pocket. Complete sociopath type shit.
    Yeah, to be the best you have to be fearlessly unapologetic about your own greatness. But “I have no empathy?” “I am not compassionate?” They’ve completely lost it.
    Empathy and compassion are key aspects of being human. You can have delusional self-confidence to the level of striving to be the best in the world WITHOUT discarding your humanity. If people resonate with that ad, it’s a sign that our culture is fucking cooked 🤦‍♂️

It's why people cheat, It's why companies gouge prices or create enshitification. When we strive for greatness and self glory by stepping on others it creates a world I never want to live in.

    Nike did a great job of reminding me exactly why organized sports is doomed to always breed disgusting, toxic people. If the nature of the occupation is "Winning at all costs, nobody else matters," it follows that the people who make it to the top will often be selfish, and yes, BAD people. Obviously no group of people can be well summarized in one or two words, and I would never imply that every athlete is scum, but when youre so efficiently funneled into the "Top 100 most competitive _____ players" when, for example, 400 million people worldwide play basketball, the ratio of good to bad will be skewed.
