Time magazine (and most other organizations reporting this story) is a political magazine, not a satirical magazine, they don't report on things because they are funny, they report on things to manipulate political opinions, the fact that you find their reporting funny doesn't not mean they threw out their political motivations just to amuse you.

What is incoherent about media companies having financial incentivizes to trick people into sitting in front of screens?
3 months ago
Anonymous
Yes, they also have financial incentive to cover stories that catch people's interest, aka funny little incidents that are already proving popular topics of interest on social media. Inconsequential as the story may be, having a mix of both heavy and light topics allows them to attract a wider audience. Skepticism towards the motives of media coverage isn't incoherent. What is incoherent is trying to spin simple coverage of a humorous, but otherwise mundane, incident into some malicious scheme to condition the masses. You're facing a simple a situation and trying to come up with a far more convoluted explanation, the alleged motive of which displays a complete lack of understanding of basic human behavior.

I think it's hilarious, considering the massive gal between reality and expectation. The poorly-made AI marketing materials is also just the cherry on top
Wait a few months & you'll understand. It'll be indistinguishable from real life, video tours, etc. Nothing will be real & people will start believing nothing they see.
this "AI dd it!" shit is the true forced meme
last thread proved even AI cannot imagine something as dissapointed as what happened irl, it's pure scamkino coming from the faustian spirit of a white male human
I really think the 'AI' did it crowd are just too autistic to actually get what happened here. I mean, AI didn't make them take what was supposed to be free candy for the kids and sell it all, so that kids were lucky to get a single jelly bean.
That is just pure human greed taken to a comical level.

The emphasis on the AI pictures is overdone, namely because if it wasn't AI, it would be something else, a stolen artwork/photo from another event, or whatever. Cos this scam isn't new, it's done all the time, especially around Christmas when you can easily fool families with an overpromised Christmas event or Santa's grotto or winter wonderland, and pocket as much money as possible with the cheapest smallest event.
Fyre Festival is the highest profile one of these in recent years, but it's no different in practice than Willy's Chocolate Experience, it was merely on a bigger scale with investors duped too.

They completely relied on AI both for the script AND the marketing images. Sure he could've stolen shit. But how fricking hard would it be just to write the scenario to a few dumb little skits designed for 4 year olds and come up with something generic and less odd than "'The Unknown': An evil chocolate maker who lives inside the walls!"? That he couldn't even be assed to write for his own concept shows you the extent to which he was cutting corners.
As for the images you could use poster templates + hire a college kid to make art and have something for like $50.

You guys are dead inside or moronic. This is the funniest shit in the Internet since Buck Breaking.
What the hell is this character supposed to be? I haven't read the book in a while but I don't remember the chapter where Charlie has to fricking fight Destro.
>Wonka: I pray you pull back your mirror and leave this matter to me. >Unknown: I pray you retire unharmed to your factory. The Anti-Graffiti Gobstopper will be mine. I swear it. Withdraw or we will all die here.
No one is scared except a few of the small children there who weren't expected a figure in a mask to jump out from behind a mirror at them. It's just a funny story that produced a lot of entertaining images of the crappiest attempt at an event possible.
Because it brought back the collective mockery of a supreme level of incompetence, last time it was the fyre festival, the more we learn about the developments, the more ridiculous and shameful it becomes, therefore, more memeable
that was a festival where thousands of idiots were stranded and it turned in to the wild west with peoples luggage delivered in a container.
whereas this is a shitty cheap willy wonka experience in glasgow that was essentially a way to keep Glaswegian kids busy for an hour and turns out it was extremely cheaply done.
Fyre Festival was getting news coverage as it happened. this wonka experience wouldnt be known without a parent filming it
Ok, but there isn't going to be documentaries on this Wonka thing, it's just an amusing story that produced some hilarious images. These kinds of local scams pop up every once in a while, this just went viral due to the universal lameness of the proceedings.

Correct, but I imagine they will find it difficult to actually extract a refund out of the seller, it always is. In any case they attempted to make a no refunds policy in advance
https://willyschocolateexperience.com/#faqs >What is the refund / exchange policy? >Tickets are not refundable. The terms and conditions of non-refundable tickets are agreed upon prior to purchase. In special circumstances, we can help you change your ticket for another day and session that is not yet sold out.

Stock image for their fictional "previous event", naturally. I imagine all the other non-AI images are just grabbed from other websites too.
I wish the video had gone on longer; you could hear the toddlers getting scared and crying but I wanted to see how they handled it and just how closely the stuck to the bizarre script.
>want to make event company >get ChatGPT to make the website >get ChatGPT to make the pictures/designs >new event: Willy Wonka Experience >get ChatGPT make website >get ChatGPT make pictures >get ChatGPT make script
some scammer threw together a ~$600 event, billed it as an "immersive interactive willy wonka experience," threw together a bunch of AI nonsense fliers and scripts for his actors and like hundreds of people paid the equivalent of $45 per head to hang out in a giant empty warehouse and get 1/3 of a solo cup of lemonade. it became a huge international meme because it turned out hilarious.
they're all rented from the same prop rental shop in glasgow. he pretty clearly started there, figured out he could throw something together very cheap with a candy theme and decided on willy wonka from there

You are in every thread spamming this. It's less pathetic to believe you're the event organizer running damage control, than someone so brain rotted by being terminally online that this how you spend your time. Quit projecting your suicidal tendencies onto others, it's clearly something you want to cry about.
No, you are obviously the smart enlightened one for making fun of people who are just trying to entertain others all alone from the safety of your phone.
You literally have to immerse yourself in a bounce castle, there was no misleading advertisement, just some entitled kids with an imagination that can never be satisfied by reality.
COPE WITH ME
AND YOU'LL SEETHE
IN A WORLD OF AI GENERATION
had been hand drawn and kids were still too moronic to understand it was a cartoon instead of a photograph, the event would be in the clear because they didn't use misleading AI?
Having to give refunds and pay staff is the legality of it. Possibly if it was legitimate fraud then he might have to compensate people's travel time and similar
I dunno, depends on UK law and how much the "organizer" bothered.
It's obvious he did the bare minimum so he can pretend it wasn't a scam because there was something but I'm not sure it's gonna work. It was absolutely a scam.
The advertisement was misleading (and inadvertently hilarious but that's not the point).
The staff is very likely not going to get paid a single penny despite signed contracts.
It's not his first gig.
The use of AI for everything (ads, scripts) is a sure sign it was just window dressing to lure in gullible parents.
I understand that the event was a scam in the typical use of the word scam. I am trying to understand if it is a scam under the eyes of the law. It seems like he might skate free. Kind of like how Fyre Festival was a scam but no one was directly arrested for it.
I don't know enough about UK law to give an answer. Like, who would sue him? Would it be up to the parents start a legal battle just to get a ticket refund? Or is there another legal recourse? Is he just gonna declare bankruptcy or something so he doesn't have to deal with staff salaries? I don't know. The widespread media coverage on his shenanigans is most likely something he hadn't anticipated, now it's known it's not his first con.
>Is he just gonna declare bankruptcy or something so he doesn't have to deal with staff salaries?
I expect he started the process before the event even began
The organizers of the Lapland New Forest got convicted of misleading advertising, so it can happen in the UK. You won't get that storm of lawsuits, however, this isn't the US.

Don't worry, you never had a chance to make money off of it anyway Lmao The entire point of the technology is to be accessible to literally any moron. Did you think you were one of the chosen few who was capable of utilizing technology that is literally meant to dumb down and automate the process that would otherwise take actual skill? Why on earth would anyone pay you when they can either do it themselves, or pay literal pennies to some third worlder? When anyone can "create", EVERYONE is your competition.
The more succinct something is the easier it is to call it out as bullshit. If ChatGPT had to be succinct a lot more people would recognize it's bullshit, so they program it to spit out a lot of words that have very little actual meaning.
Cleverbot was an AI that knew how to be succinct but everyone knew it was stupid so it just was the irrelevant face of AI for 15 years.

mystery envelops the space. >: Deep within the serpentine pathways of the Twilight Tunnel, the atmosphere

momentarily disorienting The Unknown. Seizing the opportunity, Willy sets the Anti-
Graffiti Gobstopper into a contraption that amplifies its clean-up capabilities, sending
a wave of sparkling cleanliness towards The Unknown, neutralizing his device and
rendering him harmless.
For some reason, picturing the con artist actually putting this together after reading through that script is absolutely hilarious. >so, this bit is the twilight tunnel where the kids are going to get jumped by the unknown >will one stripy curtain be enough? >nah, better get two
Has anyone read it word for word? I am at work right now but I quickly searched for words mirror or reflection and not once they seem to appear in the scripts. So, was hiding behind the mirror a creative liberty? Or they just needed to hide her from kids and had literally nothing else. Because, honestly, hiding behind a mirror is my favorite part about Unknown.
The mirror is because they had nothing else for Unknown to "appear from" like in the script. The actual character design isn't how the Unknown is described by ChatGPT either so they just made do with considerably worse resources than your average high school drama club would be equipped with.
>Willy McDuff: (confused) Wha—what happened? Did anyone else feel a chill? (He
looks around, feigning ignorance of the Unknown's presence.) You all look as if
you've seen a ghost! Or perhaps, you're just feeling a bit... whitety?
>Willy McDuff: Ah, and my favorite—the Boogerberry Bean, freshly made from Grandpa's old crusty hanky. A taste that's... well, let's just say, uniquely exquisite. >(The guests exchange amused and slightly apprehensive glances.)
Did they actually use these lines or did they adlib something else? I want to know.
>so what you're saying is that an even organiser can make more money from a flop if he knew that it would flop from the get go? >so that you can just return the tickets to the few families that follow your bait but then sell the rights to the story and make a few hundred thousand pounds selling the rights to "the next fyre festival"
Theres no way it isnt this, its pretty clever actually >set money aside for refunds plus a little extra, make everyone that attended happy IF its even needed depending on how things go >have an internationally recognised story that everyone is trying to get their hands on
>Theres no way it isnt this
What do you mean "theres no way"? There's lots of ways it could not be "not that". This type of con isn't even new, it comes up regularly.
They went through a lot of work to produce meme worthy material that would look funny to people, its not the normal "woops theres nothing" con, its pretty calculated
you know what they say: "there's no such thing as bad publicity"
...even if it means the total obliteration of what very little trust this scammer already had while leaving him vulnerable to litigation and guaranteeing there's no escaping scrutiny from this point on
>litigation
It reminds me of when people tried to sue that Guess Who board game because children got sad that the cardboard cartoons didn't actually come to life like in the silly cartoon commercials.
AI created works can't be copyrighted. Not to mention it's derivative to begin with. So, even if we assume that that was the intention the way he went about it is the only way he can't make more money out of as an intellectual property.

No, it was an incoherent and nonsensical schizo reply just like you calling a simple sentence a manifesto so you can avoid actually addressing the content.
A forced meme to distract people from a guy burning himself in front of the Israel embassy
who cares what their motivations are? it's funny. you can laugh at it without being infected by some magic propaganda brain virus
No one in this thread heard about this shit from time magazine
Yet them and every other media organization have motivation to spam the story so that everyone hears about it.
>News organization posts story that is viral online
There is your secret motivation anon.
Yes and the more they post stories that make you afraid of socialization, the more stories you will read because the less time you will spend socializing and the more money they will make off of you.
homosexual if you are the one who sees everyone laughing at a goofy fricking Willy Wonka ripoff and your brain defaults to it being some deep dark conspiracy you are not the one who needs to be worried about anyone else being undersocialized.
You might be laughing, but they aren't laughing, they are cautionary taling.
The details of the story and the photos it produced are hilarious. What else do you need?
BECAUSE IT'S FUNNY, YOU FRICKING moron
It's not funny
autistic or stupid?
I would guess the people laughing at these images are both.
Yes it is.
then why did I laugh at many of the images and accounts? checkmate, bullseye, strike, homerun, straight flush, you're done.
see
Its funny in a demoralizing way, like broadcasting people slipping or crashing on the ice to prevent other people from going out in the ice.
Because the picture of a jaded Oompa Loompa chick sitting in a meth lab is funny and then from that starting point learning all the details of just how odd and ramshackle the whole thing was is funny and interesting too.
mediamen are hyenas on the prowl for the next gosip that will rake in views, they aren't some well organized cabal out to get you
frick me can autists ever be fun
This is the funniest shit I've seen on the internet in literal years.
It really isnt that funny
so fricking mad
yeah it is
I think it's hilarious, considering the massive gal between reality and expectation. The poorly-made AI marketing materials is also just the cherry on top
Yeah it is. If you don't think so, why are you in this thread?
AI already scamming people lol. Apparently all the renders were AI, the script they gave to the performers, etc.
Why are normies obsessed with a few AI images for the advertising when this scam has been around for decades?
Wait a few months & you'll understand. It'll be indistinguishable from real life, video tours, etc. Nothing will be real & people will start believing nothing they see.
So people will start questioning what they see in the media? Oh the horror!
It'll be everything dude, music, news, TV, movies, etc. You think shit's soulless & by the numbers hallow now, just wait.
I'd love to see your nose BTW.
this "AI dd it!" shit is the true forced meme
last thread proved even AI cannot imagine something as dissapointed as what happened irl, it's pure scamkino coming from the faustian spirit of a white male human
I really think the 'AI' did it crowd are just too autistic to actually get what happened here. I mean, AI didn't make them take what was supposed to be free candy for the kids and sell it all, so that kids were lucky to get a single jelly bean.
That is just pure human greed taken to a comical level.
Enabled by AI you fricking moron, this shit is now easier than ever
>Enabled
Not really
>easier than ever
True. They could have done what they did elsewhere and just steal the artwork, with honestly more convincing results. The 'script' is probably the most interesting part of this whole fiasco
On one hand I'd say that this whole debacle is a warning shot for these types of homosexuals to not think they can abuse AI for this kind of shit and get away with it.
On the other hand AI gays have already shown them to be oblivious and shameless so this kind of shit will probably start happening more frequently and boomers/genxers will just have to get a more refined bullshit radar like the rest of us.
The emphasis on the AI pictures is overdone, namely because if it wasn't AI, it would be something else, a stolen artwork/photo from another event, or whatever. Cos this scam isn't new, it's done all the time, especially around Christmas when you can easily fool families with an overpromised Christmas event or Santa's grotto or winter wonderland, and pocket as much money as possible with the cheapest smallest event.
Fyre Festival is the highest profile one of these in recent years, but it's no different in practice than Willy's Chocolate Experience, it was merely on a bigger scale with investors duped too.
They completely relied on AI both for the script AND the marketing images. Sure he could've stolen shit. But how fricking hard would it be just to write the scenario to a few dumb little skits designed for 4 year olds and come up with something generic and less odd than "'The Unknown': An evil chocolate maker who lives inside the walls!"? That he couldn't even be assed to write for his own concept shows you the extent to which he was cutting corners.
As for the images you could use poster templates + hire a college kid to make art and have something for like $50.
Yes, it's funny because it enabled an extra level of laziness even for a scam artist
>Enabled
he's been scamming before AI, moron
this backwards fearmongering is why UK required knife licenses
Oh yeah, tough guy?
im sure this is a completely real image and not taken out of a joke magazine whatsoever
funniest shit i've read in a long while, up there with urethral airplane whistling.
This doesn't read like AI at all. It just reads like the words were jumbled up.

why is this capturing the internets imagination. i cant tell if people are actually scared by it or what
No one is scared except a few of the small children there who weren't expected a figure in a mask to jump out from behind a mirror at them. It's just a funny story that produced a lot of entertaining images of the crappiest attempt at an event possible.
It's not really hard to see why this story went viral.

I'm surprised they put that much effort on that

Because it brought back the collective mockery of a supreme level of incompetence, last time it was the fyre festival, the more we learn about the developments, the more ridiculous and shameful it becomes, therefore, more memeable
that was a festival where thousands of idiots were stranded and it turned in to the wild west with peoples luggage delivered in a container.
whereas this is a shitty cheap willy wonka experience in glasgow that was essentially a way to keep Glaswegian kids busy for an hour and turns out it was extremely cheaply done.
Fyre Festival was getting news coverage as it happened. this wonka experience wouldnt be known without a parent filming it
The point of that comment was making fun of the incompetence of both situations and why they became so viral
Ok, but there isn't going to be documentaries on this Wonka thing, it's just an amusing story that produced some hilarious images. These kinds of local scams pop up every once in a while, this just went viral due to the universal lameness of the proceedings.
>lameness
not even, you can't have The Unknown in a regular lame attraction
>cheap
wasn't it 35 pounds? which is 68.02 AUD
Fyre fest won't ever be topped since it was hyped as this elite party on a tropical beach, and turned into a refugee camp in a parking lot.

Correct, but I imagine they will find it difficult to actually extract a refund out of the seller, it always is. In any case they attempted to make a no refunds policy in advance

>Tickets are not refundable. The terms and conditions of non-refundable tickets are agreed upon prior to purchase. In special circumstances, we can help you change your ticket for another day and session that is not yet sold out.

What's the joke? There's some lowbudget willywonka shit? I really don't get it.
some scammer threw together a ~$600 event, billed it as an "immersive interactive willy wonka experience," threw together a bunch of AI nonsense fliers and scripts for his actors and like hundreds of people paid the equivalent of $45 per head to hang out in a giant empty warehouse and get 1/3 of a solo cup of lemonade. it became a huge international meme because it turned out hilarious.
I unironically want to dress up as this character for halloween or something
for me it's crackhead oompa
if you only knew how bad things really are
Some of those props are fricking great for no reason.
they're all rented from the same prop rental shop in glasgow. he pretty clearly started there, figured out he could throw something together very cheap with a candy theme and decided on willy wonka from there
What's funny is how the autistic contrarians here have to pretend that this somehow isn't entertaining, just because "normies" laugh at it too.
Probably the same type of autists who didn't get why everyone was talking about the Will Smith slap and claimed it was staged
I'd like to Willy her Wonka if you know what I mean.
She's cute, that job aged her 20 years in one day.

Go outside before the Unknown gets you through the walls, lil bro.

You are in every thread spamming this. It's less pathetic to believe you're the event organizer running damage control, than someone so brain rotted by being terminally online that this how you spend your time.

I predict people will be saying this for at least another 12 hours.
For realz, is what he did illegal?
Like is there actual repercussion to pulling a stunt like this?
Yes, false or misleading advertising is a crime in the UK
You literally have to immerse yourself in a bounce castle, there was no misleading advertisement, just some entitled kids with an imagination that can never be satisfied by reality.
>there was no misleading advertisement
"Your honor, for my first exhibit, I will produce the promotional material for this event"
So if
had been hand drawn and kids were still too moronic to understand it was a cartoon instead of a photograph, the event would be in the clear because they didn't use misleading AI?
The event also said the kids would get to eat a bunch of real candy and there was almost none except for a few jellybeans.
What is false and misleading about it?
Everything promised is subjective and having a BAD event is not the same as having an illegal one.
That's false and misleading.
It's advertised as a world of pure imagination. It's not their fault some people are dead inside and can't imagine that.
That is a civil case no?
Especially if the pictures / ad did not state that this would be actually present
They did not get a license (read: loicense) from either the Roald Dahl Estate or Warner Bros. to stage a Willy Wonka themed live event.
>Willy Wonka themed live event
It's Willy McDuff, not Wonka. It's totally different.
At the very least he should have to give everyone a refund and pay the actors, and the space and props if not already done so
You can get got for fraudulent advertising, at the least he's likely to not make a penny off this, if not be out of pocket.
Which part of the advertising is fraudelent?
He should. But I am asking about the legality of it all.
Having to give refunds and pay staff is the legality of it. Possibly if it was legitimate fraud then he might have to compensate people's travel time and similar
I feel like he doesn't need to give a refund. Is there any law saying you must give a refunud?
Pictures like this
Are clearly misleading
I dunno, depends on UK law and how much the "organizer" bothered.
It's obvious he did the bare minimum so he can pretend it wasn't a scam because there was something but I'm not sure it's gonna work. It was absolutely a scam.
The advertisement was misleading (and inadvertently hilarious but that's not the point).
The staff is very likely not going to get paid a single penny despite signed contracts.
It's not his first gig.
The use of AI for everything (ads, scripts) is a sure sign it was just window dressing to lure in gullible parents.
I understand that the event was a scam in the typical use of the word scam. I am trying to understand if it is a scam under the eyes of the law. It seems like he might skate free. Kind of like how Fyre Festival was a scam but no one was directly arrested for it.
I don't know enough about UK law to give an answer. Like, who would sue him? Would it be up to the parents start a legal battle just to get a ticket refund? Or is there another legal recourse? Is he just gonna declare bankruptcy or something so he doesn't have to deal with staff salaries? I don't know. The widespread media coverage on his shenanigans is most likely something he hadn't anticipated, now it's known it's not his first con.
>Is he just gonna declare bankruptcy or something so he doesn't have to deal with staff salaries?
I expect he started the process before the event even began
Civil suit but he'll get away with it so long as he declares bankruptcy and liquidates his Illuminati company.
The organizers of the Lapland New Forest got convicted of misleading advertising, so it can happen in the UK. You won't get that storm of lawsuits, however, this isn't the US.
>Lapland New Forest
Thank you for the reminder, I knew there was something familiar about this story. And yeah you're right, it's the EXACT same type of con and the organisers back then got jail time. 13 months after checking. I can't believe it was in 2008, time sure flies.
And here is one of the two hucksters who was convicted for Lapland, who shockingly had previous convictions for fraud.
Bros I'm reading the script now and I'm just imagining Tommy Wiseau playing Wonka (sorry, "McDuff".) Shit's funny.

Quick rundown?
serial scammer sloppily uses AI to make and sell a Wonka themed event

can you guys stop posting this forced unfunny shit. its making ai look bad and will make it harder to make money with propaganda like this ffs. i finally get access to tech that lets me make shit for once in my goddamn life and one-off incidents like this crap is going to make people trust this even less fricking ruining it bullshit. ai isn't even at the center of it, its jsut some bullshit white boy's scamming
good morning sir
I support AI but this is still funny, you won't ban cars just because some idiot drunk diver get himself killed.
Don't worry, you never had a chance to make money off of it anyway Lmao The entire point of the technology is to be accessible to literally any moron. Did you think you were one of the chosen few who was capable of utilizing technology that is literally meant to dumb down and automate the process that would otherwise take actual skill? Why on earth would anyone pay you when they can either do it themselves, or pay literal pennies to some third worlder? When anyone can "create", EVERYONE is your competition.

ChatGPT has a particular way of waffling on and on that is really annoying to read, it never seems to do anything succinctly.
The more succinct something is the easier it is to call it out as bullshit. If ChatGPT had to be succinct a lot more people would recognize it's bullshit, so they program it to spit out a lot of words that have very little actual meaning.
Cleverbot was an AI that knew how to be succinct but everyone knew it was stupid so it just was the irrelevant face of AI for 15 years.

rendering him harmless.
This stupid robot sure does love the word "whimsical."
probably because it was part of the prompt
For some reason, picturing the con artist actually putting this together after reading through that script is absolutely hilarious.
>so, this bit is the twilight tunnel where the kids are going to get jumped by the unknown
>will one stripy curtain be enough?
>nah, better get two
Has anyone read it word for word? I am at work right now but I quickly searched for words mirror or reflection and not once they seem to appear in the scripts. So, was hiding behind the mirror a creative liberty? Or they just needed to hide her from kids and had literally nothing else. Because, honestly, hiding behind a mirror is my favorite part about Unknown.
The mirror is because they had nothing else for Unknown to "appear from" like in the script. The actual character design isn't how the Unknown is described by ChatGPT either so they just made do with considerably worse resources than your average high school drama club would be equipped with.
shevs not specially into mirrors, script says the unknown is a wall dweller
just so happens she's behind one when the kids arrive
How long til we get a Gene Wilder AI reading of this? Or David Lynch.

>Theres no way it isnt this
What do you mean "theres no way"? There's lots of ways it could not be "not that". This type of con isn't even new, it comes up regularly.
They went through a lot of work to produce meme worthy material that would look funny to people, its not the normal "woops theres nothing" con, its pretty calculated
It's literally the same shit as the Lapland New Forest mentioned above.
>have an internationally recognised story that everyone is trying to get their hands on
and how exactly is it going to help?
you know what they say: "there's no such thing as bad publicity"
...even if it means the total obliteration of what very little trust this scammer already had while leaving him vulnerable to litigation and guaranteeing there's no escaping scrutiny from this point on

It reminds me of when people tried to sue that Guess Who board game because children got sad that the cardboard cartoons didn't actually come to life like in the silly cartoon commercials.
