Shame, I came to this thread expecting Nathan to be the organizer behind the willy wonka EATS event that was entirely produced by chatgpt.

Also , enough with this "soon" crap. At this point he's doing the world harm by not launching the app. Can't he see the suffering being caused in a world where licensing doesn't matter?

I guess it's a real shame the app is as fictional as his favorite orange cat.

Except Eegeez doesn’t license EVENTS, Nathen. Eegeez licenses products. gently caress you.

Also wtf is that gif of Lenny kissing a cereal box with the Kellogs logo on it? How the gently caress does that equate to “boycott Kellogs”?!? Goddamn, Nathen just makes me irrationally angry.

Actually, I should clarify that Eegeez doesn't license anything because it doesn't exist.

I was googling Egeez to see how long he had been talking about it/when it was "founded" (answer: 2020) and there's some funny stuff here. Take for instance, this page:

https://www.f6s.com/company/egeez

..wherein Egeez is listed as a "Fashion company in Canada" and the tags for the company list; "Fashion, retail, media, software, net infrastructure, consumer(???) and consumer products"

There's also a rapper named Egeez:
https://www.amazon.com/Lets-Be-Clear-Explicit-Egeez/dp/B0CLZ2617B

Also whatever this horrifying poo poo is:
https://www.facebook.com/story.php/...BRUR5QuDKE&_rdr

And then I found another hidden Nathen webpage that he had someone design for him on Squarespace I guess:
https://piccolo-rose-hg7z.squarespace.com/letsentergage

...some really bizarre poo poo going on here. Have we seen this one already? It looks like a different version of the main Egeez page but it's all something of a blur in my head. His insanity tends to repeat itself a lot so I can't be sure what we've seen before and what's new.

Anyway, Eegeez was founded 4 years ago and still doesn't sell anything, do anything or exist in any way outside of Nathen's endless self-fellating blog posts across dozens of industry e-zines.

Hey that Lets Entergage page mention it's all based on dreams! As always my insane ramblings come true!

Also love how the insights page on that is just five minutes of randomly googled real estate and marketing states copy and pasted onto a cheap late 90's webpage.
I'm always amazed at how good sites like this can be at telling you nothing. The real pro move is to make all the navigation links sound like they should explain things, but have each lead to a page, which while is exactly what the navigation link says it would be, still tells you absolutely nothing.

You got to keep re-building that hope before dashing it again.

Zero chance he's making any of these webpages himself. He's doing exactly what he did with his "podcast" where he's going on Fiverr and paying someone to design him a webpage. Maybe he occasionally forgets he's already done this before which results in duplicate webpages (lol) because the content is relatively similar to the one with the big AI Art buildings.

Honestly I think Nathen is so pro-AI because he's indistinguishable from an LLM himself. The word order is sound but nothing he says has any thought or meaning behind it. No consistency between ideas or conversations. Just dribble that resembles human communication.

Judging by how long these sort of buzzwords remain the hottest topic, we still got like six to none more month or AI being everything.

It will probably stay around a bit longer then other buzzwords as I think this one landed particular hard with the corporate types as if you squint through corporate management eyes it does seem to be offering you a chance to fire like 99% of people in any particular organisation if they can just get it right.

Unlike things like block chain and cloud, this one is much easier for management types to actually visualize how it can make them a poo poo load of money (basically by being a genie that wrinkles it's nose and magically solves all problems).

I don’t think that matters though. I thought as long as two things operate in wildly different markets where there is no possible confusion from overlap then multiple things can legally be named the same thing. A rapper and a vaporware VC scam don’t seem to have much possibility for confusing the two.

Well, also consider that Nathen is a weirdo so the rapper could potentially make an argument that Egeez, the everything app damages his brand or w/e. Funnier still that this information would likely make Nathen flip his poo poo because he doesn't really understand how anything works.

E: Also also nothing matters because Egeez is imaginary, will never make any money and the only people who know/laugh about it are people who follow Nathen's escapades anyway.

Meredith Whittaker who's president of the Signal messaging service had a really great article a few months back outlining how the desire for cheap, pliant labor means that "AI" as a generic concept is inherently something that capitalists will always jump at:

https://logicmag.io/supa-dupa-skies/origin-stories-plantations-computers-and-industrial-control/

The technology being called "AI" this go-round clearly can't fulfill its hype, much like blockchain, but ideology means it's automatically going to get buy-in.

This has been mentioned in the thread before, but there's also a Tucson sub sandwich chain named eegee's that's existed for decades that's far more likely to be a copyright issue for him than an underground rapper.

You are going crazy.

Also Egeez doesn't license products, it allows licensees to sell products through a third party platform that verifies they are real licensees and does nothing else.

It may also be doing something with real estate and experiential marketing. Hard to tell.
