Never has a present about nothing encompassed fairly a lot nothingness.
Since December of 2022, an synthetic intelligence has been creating and streaming an limitless episode of Seinfeld. Dubbed Nothing, Forever, the continuing present options characters that vaguely resemble Jerry, George, Kramer, and Elaine, in a severe of surreal misadventures. “Jerry” delivers a rambling monologue, then he hangs out at his residence, then again to the standup membership to inform extra bizarre jokes (“Why do they call it a TV remote if it’s always in the same place?”) adopted by some synthetic laughter. It’s very unusual, but oddly compelling.
The co-creator of Nothing, Forever, Skyler Hartle, stated this to Vice in regards to the weird undertaking:
The precise impetus for this was it initially began its life as this bizarre, very, off-center type of nonsensical, surreal artwork undertaking. But then we type of labored over time to carry it to this new place. And then, after all, generative media and generative AI simply type of took off in a loopy method over the previous couple of years …
Hartle claims the precept behind the experiment was “Can we create a show that can generate entertaining content forever? Because that’s truly where we see the future emerging towards. Our goal with the next iterations or next shows that we release is to actually trade a show that is like Netflix-level quality.”
Nothing, Forever is just not “Netflix-level quality.” But … I’m truthfully having a tough time turning it off? Not solely is that this factor completely fascinating, it’s principally begging to be the premise of an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Just think about Larry David responding to this. (On the present, he’d have to show it on, after which uncover it was producing higher materials than he was, then get insanely jealous.)
You can watch Nothing, Forever on Twitch right here. It’s stay proper now. And it will likely be stay for the foreseeable future. Maybe perpetually.
