The 24-hour, AI-created Seinfeld parody, Nothing, Forever has been banned from Twitch after its version of Jerry Seinfeld made a joke about how being transgender is "actually a mental illness."
The Show was created by Mismatch Media, and takes Seinfeld's concept - a never-ending show about nothing - and uses AI technology to make that a reality. Using programs like DALL-E, OpenAI GPT-3, and Stable Diffusion to animate and write the show in real-time, it can run non-stop with new content indefinitely... that is until it was banned.

One of the show's co-creators Skyler Hartle says he is "super embarrassed" by the situation, and that the AI's comments do not reflect the company's views whatsoever. According to him, the issue arose from a programming mistake.
“We thought we had solved for this problem—we use a built-in content moderation system provided by OpenAI—but clearly we hadn’t... We mistakenly believed we were correctly leveraging OpenAI’s tools for content moderation, but that wasn’t the case.” He also stated that they would look into adding a secondary layer of moderation before going live again.
You can't be too careful when it comes to censoring smart AIs, as they have an unfortunate history of parroting the darker corners of the internet in search of content. Microsoft's infamous 2016 chatbot Tay learned that lesson the hard way, taking only 16 hours to spiral into an antisemitic tirade. Although technology has certainly improved since then, the VTuber AI Streamer Neuro Sama was also recently banned after doubting the existence of the Holocaust. It is impressive that Nothing, Forever streamed non-stop for as long as it did before encountering an incident.
Nothing, Forever is a technological marvel, and the fact that it's almost watchable as real T.V. is a testament to modern technology and Mismatch Media's spectacular work. It won't be long before we can really have an endless show about nothing, though hopefully without the tasteless jokes.
Tom Brady Is Much More Divorced and Not as Swole as He Thinks He Is
Tom Brady is recently divorced, unemployed and posting thirst traps.

Despite his millions and the fact that he was once married to Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen, it seems Tom Brady, at his core, is still an unemployed, divorced 40-something, taking to social media with a post only a newly unemployed, single 40-something could conjure — a 10 a.m., bet-losing thirst trap.
On Monday, February 6, Brady took a break from his busy schedule of not preparing for Sunday’s Super Bowl to prove that contrary to popular misconception, he is *not* a contender for a Real Housewives of Myrtle Beach and is like, really hot, you guys, sharing a steamy selfie in just his underwear after losing a bet … with his own company.

In a move that may singlehandedly encompass the phrase “down horrendous,” newly solo Brady made good on a promise he made with — let’s be real, himself — last summer, sharing a photo of himself in his boxers after his brand tweeted him a 9 a.m. reminder Monday morning that he needed to show bulge on main (after all, who isn’t thinking about Tom Brady’s dick at 9 am on a Monday?).

“Did I do it right?” Brady coy-ly captioned the snap of himself shirtless on his bed before tagging his brand and fellow footballers Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman, a post that is *definitely* not beating the “football is homoerotic” allegations (it is, and it’s great).
Garnering more than 14 million Twitter views in its first hours on the platform, it seems Brady learned a very important lesson about posting fake “demure” thirst trape on main — everyone who isn’t a 30-year-old MLM saleswoman from bumfuck Idaho can and will roast you.
Yet beyond garnering comparisons to Black Mirror villains, Black Mirror-adjacent villains, and bread so terrible they should be Black Mirror villains, one element stood out amid the social media brouhaha — Brady needs to get some.

“The fact that Tom Brady used his own brand to send him a tweet of something from over a year ago so that he could use it to post a thirst trap on main... this man is down BAD,” wrote one user.

Yet even as Brady is evidently reeling after swapping one mediocre NFL season for his smart, witchy Victoria’s Secret model wife, it still could be worse — he could be Rita Ora.
