Reminiscing from the floor about Gary V's beautiful mind

I'm on the floor

In 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.

I 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.

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.
