Sure. I don’t even disagree but people recognize 20th century Fox because of the branding + its wealth of films. That doesn’t imply people would recognize a producer behind it.

I don’t think it’s the production per se but the association with some other property (eg Pirates of the Caribbean) that works.

I thought there was a dip of about 12 percent from the peak in the first half?
Also, Nielsen utilized a new method to count which increased viewership by about 10% (meaning the halftime show was even less watched live compared to the Lamar show). But of course it also means the SB wasn’t viewed as much aw last year.

You might be right. Hasn’t been my experience.
I hope you are wrong (if I’m right we both have jobs)

I’m in a very specialized area of law. While there is a lot of law, you’d be surprised daily how many fact patterns I face where there is no guidance (either judicial, administrative, or secondary) and things fall down at the edges (ie basically comes down to judgement).
Moreover, law changes all of the time (especially in this field). This seems to confuse LLMs sometimes (both in what the current law is and what the change in law means and doesn’t mean). Finally, a lot of the guidance doesn’t strictly apply in one area but can (taking into account a lot of factors) apply to totally different area without any indication.
Further, my role isn’t primarily telling what the answer is but figuring out what the facts are, what they can be, and what the best set of future facts are applied to an unclear legal framework whilst trying to predict future government policy.
We’ve tried using LLMs. They’ve all failed to this point.

Sure people used to watch the Oscars (though still not most people). Someone ruining Weinstein in passing would not create widespread name recognition. Movies perhaps but even then how many people paid attention to that kind of thing?
Walt Disney was some what recognizable as he did shows etc as part of marketing. The other famous people were directors and people would go see movies due to directors. Pretty rare to go see a movie because of a producer.

I’ve heard “he is worth 100 or 150” without giving the base but I’ve never heard anyone mention figures while dropping the first six.

If you asked the average Joe or Jane in early 2000s who Harvey Weinstein was I bet few would know (do ordinary people pay attention to thank you’s in an Oscar speech — do they even pay attention to the Oscar’s?).
If you showed a picture even less would’ve been able to tell you who that was.
If you asked them who Clooney was, a majority would be able to tell you.

I was puzzled by this. I think he meant deca-millionaire. Maybe it’s a British thing?

OTOH, Cosby was conservative coded. On the other hand, Diddy. On the gripping hand, Tyson.

Exactly. I think your point is correct and conflating elite with celebrity misses a key point.
You could’ve also mentioned the UVA scandal.

But that’s conflating things—elite and celebrity. The two do not always go hand in hand.

Not saying you’re wrong but a few explanations:
-
Some firms may believe its existential and therefore even if costs are high and odds of success are low the cost of losing is too high.
-
Right now, the market is rewarding them for the spending. So even if they internally question the wisdom, stock price goes up and the decision makers get bonuses.
-
One tech company has somewhat called bullshit. They sit in Cupertino. Maybe they’ve since changed but my understanding is they still call bullshit.

I’m skeptical but you may be right. See the market the last week.
But even the market isn’t really where you are.

Seems like there could be more to the story. How would they have met? Did the relationship begin earlier and they just went “official” after she graduated?
Well, I’m a bit worried that if AI solves law, robotics will solve “working with…hands” when combined with AI.
