I fully braced myself for some depressing story on how A.I. images were killing the environment or democracy but instead I got a heartwarming tale of a love between a man and his cabbage. Life ain't so bad.
Yeah I agree, this segment felt more like his Web Exclusives where he rants over the weirdest things with passion
for the dark twist, how would/could the cabbage have given consent?
There is a serious problem with AI-generated art, which is how the programs behind it have been shown to carelessly rip off real human artists’ copyrighted works
@@randomjunkohyeah1 sooner than later. Humans must be replaced.
This was already done in Avatar the last Airbender. Iterative, 6/10.
I don't know what I'm doing please help
Imagine getting stoned and making some memes, forgetting about it, and then seeing your memes grow into a professionally produced comedy segment on HBO. I love this show.
I think the show needs to find this genius and add him to the team! What a ride!
I really hope they are unreasonably high again when they find this video, and wonder whether or not it's real.
Insane how one man’s high search history got HBO to spend thousands of dollars into a whole marriage just to complete the story. That’s any persons dream
Yes, always delightfully whacky.
Oh I don’t have to imagine
John's kids in like 10 years are going to find this video and start calling cabbages stepmom just to drive him insane.
That would be a really short trip.
You act like John didn't just take the cabbage home and introduce it to the kids as their stepmom already.
Did you pick up our stepmom from the store Dad??
Oh no stepmom what are you doing???!!!
John's kids are Brussel sprouts
The fact that John didn't take off his old wedding ring before marrying the cabbage makes me question how committed he is to his new bride.
This is a good point! John Oliver needs to be exposed! #CabbageGate #PrayForCabbage.
I think deep down, even he knew what was going to happen.
And at the end he yells “Not again!”? How many cabbage has this man devoured?! This has to be stopped!
Or his old bride for that matter.
Agreed!! And the cabbage was not even asked in fhe ceremony!
imagine being PostPoopZoomies and seeing both your prompts be shared online, and John getting invested in your accidental lore
Don't forget about Margaret! WTF
What a great name too lol
PostPoopZoomies is a legend for predicting this episode and creating 400+ prompts in anticipation. Well played, PostPoopZoomies!
Shows you how big the internet is, we may never have known about the work of these two of it wasn’t for this episode, I hope they are both loving the recognition of their silliness
dis person did it on purpose and it paid off lmao
It‘s no wonder that this show has won the Emmy basically every year. The other late-night shows are nice, but this is on another level.
Recently it feels like this show is written by AI
Other late-night shows are dumpster fires
The dedication to marry and divorce a cabbage for content is elite
When you make 1 show a week and you take 2 week breaks every month, it's not that hard to come up with a 10 minute video that's entertaining. He's not being forced to churn out episodes 5 days a week for weeks at a time. So, cut late night shows some slack.
It's honestly not fair because John is on HBO. He has such little restrictions on content and he has an expanded budget, a budget that isn't run on ad revenue.
But if you look at Seth's show, it has done some amazing things since covid started. They really leaned into their internet audience and have continued to lean in. Like Seth's corrections isn't even on television and was nominated. Not even the show lol, the segment lol. So things are changing. If we really do get Conan on HBO I'd like to see that wild ride.
This feels like a web exclusive that somehow spiraled into a full segment and I love it.
im not alone in thinking this thats great
i think its because it isnt depressing like the others (and its also 10 mins long)
I was about to comment the same
I thought I'd seen this before as a web exclusive. Pretty sure it's not deja vu since I can remember more details. Was it uploaded before?
I still can't convince myself this isn't one. Really, maybe it's just the lack of wanting to die in a corner. And surely we all needed it.
They included this in last week's show but only uploaded it now which was great because i got to experience it all over again
I love how at this point, nobody is even mildly surprised at Steve Buscemi showing up to officiate.
😂
Should do a clip on toxoplasmosis, complete with Usa navy research, and ALL of dr Flegr findings . Also , how the misguided veterinarians cover it up (the eggs live 2years in bleach water and still hatch , cats constantly re-infect themselves) . Effects: miscarriages, birth defects, headaches, flu symptoms, eye floaters, detached retina, cysts(often misdiagnosed) , schizophrenia , Parkinson’s, mild to severe depression, wild behavior
💀
I'm more surprised he isn't tapdancing :P
"Do you think god stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created?"
Imagine being postpoopzoomies, and watching this episode high. It would be a highlight of humanity.
3 million years of love, hate, battles, cathedrals, temples, bloodshed, synagogues, religion, spirituality, drugs, crusades, politics, economics, technology, revolutions, trade, expeditions, daring ventures into the unknown, genocides, prophets and mindblowing art, so that we reach this point where we collectively ascend as a species into postpoopzoomies' weed high
ya it was pretty neat

I love that this undoubtedly started with Julia just killing time on a lunch break browsing the internet on her phone and ended with HBO being asked to pay for a wedding chapel and a giant fake cabbage. That progression of events is glorious and one of the reasons why this show needs to go on forever
Don't forget the wedding being officiated by Steve Buscemi
What do you mean "fake cabbage"? :D
Nah. Oliver gets material for his show like this. He says as much with his micro pigs in a teacup bit
yeah that is probably how all of their episodes are birthed.
OMFG, I just checked John Oliver's wikipedia page.
"Spouse
Kate Norley (m. 2011)
Cabbage (m. 2022)"
The least believable part of John marrying the cabbage, was the ease with which he lifted the cabbage to kiss it. It was at that point, I knew the cabbage had work done.
You could say she's now plastic.
It's the cabbage's wedding day, they deserve to feel pretty.
Don't judge that cabbage's truth.
Just means she's less full, she mightve fluffed out her leaves for the occasion. Let her be a cabbage.
A cabbage only gets married once in her lifetime, it's important to look your best... as a cabbage
I was expecting this to be about the endless pit of legal confusion that is IP assignment on AI generated images and fair use of copyrighted images in public image banks, and instead got a beautiful wedding.
John has educated us enough, we're just doing his job for him in the youtube comments. Truly a wonderful time to be alive.
I bet that will be a video in the future as this technology improves
That was probably what it was originally gonna be, but then David Zaslav came in & was like "Hey! Ya can't bash these cool new business models!"
@@ShiningStar5022 What business model, though?
@@Fuchsia_tude Replacing real artists with a machine.
"John Oliver will never be happy again. His heart is broken, but his stomach is full." That's his motto since accepting to do this show 8 years ago.
He will have that one framed on a wall for sure.
I don't know. His new business daddy might burn it all down and free him.
I'm sure even he never imagined what a shitshow we'd become.
@@lbatemon1158 😱😱😱 don't say that!
I can already hear tucker carlson screaming “is this what the leftists want to normalize? First it was gay marriage, now we’re falling in love with groceries? Is this the America we want for our children?”
IKR LMAO
They call this perversion “vegetality”.
Someone is bound to have asked the AI to illustrate “Tucker Carlson tea bagging an M and M”
That's why the AI could not show John marrying a cabbage! It was programmed by Republicans!
@@davesouthword1298 lol, that does make me want to search for those types.
Theres a certain kind of "cool" that comes from committing fully to even the silliest possible prompt. John Oliver somehow manages to avoid even this level of "cool" by being British. Never change John, we all love you to death
Last year with no place left to turn I prayed to God in repentance then begged for help with all my heart, "I was until then a lifelong Atheist."
I then had a dream of Jesus coming before God and he spoke of the Tabernacle in perfect context, "A word I didn't know existed because I've never read the bible", and the love I felt from Jesus was unlike anything I've ever felt before - A lifetime of joy every second - It brought me to sobbing and it changed my life forever.
I've had other miracles since, a few being a light turning on in answer to deeply needful prayer 6 times, seeing a orb of light hours before a major surgery, seeing an Angel in a dream the night my mother prayed for me to see one, "Without telling me", and so much more.
Know that God and Jesus ARE real and that they love us deeply. Let go of your hatred and Imagine yourself holding the people who've hurt you. Tell them you love and forgive them and I believe we should do our best to follow, "I've failed many times", the 10 commandments.
Always have hope. I believe that love is the answer.
@@narsakucanada154 When I have slain god and cast him down upon the rocks as payment for all the evils he has created, I will be sure to send you my condolences for your loss.
Till night-eating-cabbage thorns us apart, amen!
In wilting and in health,
Until cabbage do us part… 🤵🏻💒 🥬 ❤️
@@sonjaiglesias3438 amen comrade
I'm fairly certain the flower budget for this episode cost more than my entire wedding put together
I love how most of the time he creates a deep think piece. But sometimes….sometimes he just marries a cabbage.
Meanwhile...
Wait now I've crossed the streams.
Yes!
This is like the third time I've seen steve buscemi on this show and at this point I'm convinced there's no gag he wouldn't do for them
Steve Buscemi is too good for this world, but I hope he never leaves
John is the favorite among birds 🐦. I'm telling you, he is FAMOUS. Owls 🦉, parrot 🦜 and uptight, red-billed hornbills
More like there's no gag he wouldn't do for HBO (and their parent WB), because they give him big roles too.
A double use of "at this point" makes it so that you are no longer at this point but in fact far from it
my guess is he lives close to the studio and is absolutely willing to do something silly for an afternoon for a show he respects
Not since Avatar the Last Airbender have I been so invested in a mans emotional relationship with a cabbage.
Surprised at how little likes your comment got. 😂
Thank you for saying it lol
MY CABBAGES
I yelled out "my cabbages!" When he ate the cabbage.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
John's Wife: "So, what did you do on your show tonight?"
John: "Nothing much really. I just married a cabbage."
John's Wife: "That's so sw- Wait, what was that last part?!"
Actually, I’m betting her response was:
“That’s nice..”
Mrs. John probably expected nothing less…
😉
aside from the fact she's probably long ago learned not to even ask such questions ...
Now I know why John Oliver has been so endearing. He understands our generation better than we understand ourselves
I watch all his videos, but John Oliver is certainly not endearing
@@shadoninja that's certainly your opinion
@@engineeertf2 There is an ender ring??? I only got the ender dragon!
@@pedropimenta8473 no, just an elden ring.
Which generation?
Looks like even John knew he needed to give us a break from our weekly dose of existential crisis lol
This topic is funny but on some level it's giving me an existential crisis
Actually next week we find out that the cabbage has stage 4 cancer
@@Dodtodt1 🤣
Which is a real fucking shame because there's so much to talk about regarding the future potential for revenge porn and fake criminal evidence on this subject.
But that's what I come here for to hear about all that bad actors we wouldn't hear about otherwise
May I just say the wedding décor was beautiful. I hope at least one bride-to-be sends this to her wedding planner and confuses the shit out of them.
“I think I want the same color scheme as John Oliver and the cabbage’s wedding.”
“… John Oliver the late night host, or is this an olive and Veggie Tales went really wild since I was a kid?”
"I want what the cabbage had"
Cabbage roses is what you want! 👍
I want to be eaten on my wedding night
When my gf and I get married, I'm definitely sending this to the wedding planner. Now I need to find someone who can make a dress that looks like cabbage for me
I just love how the fact that this A.I. is unable to depict a marriage between a man amd a cabbage precisely pinpoints the reason why there are no self driving cars yet haha
how so?
@@killmenowprettyprett well not literally, from a technical point of view obviously, but i mean that is precisely how it feels like haha
@@killmenowprettyprett
AI deals better than humans with situations it has thousands of examples to learn from, yet fails catastrophically on edge cases. Marrying a cabbage is certainly an "edge case" :) ...
@@Hexanitrobenzene "Ackchyually"
AI can't drive cars yet because interpreting a 3D environment in real time takes about 5 or 6 multi-core blade servers. Its not impossible, it would just be at least the size of the engine, and about the same cost as the rest of the car.
This is why Google and GM's practical attempts have both focused on mapping just the ground, a tech that was developed for those video parking guides and proximity alert systems you see now. That can be done with cheap CPU in a much smaller space. It works fine at low speeds on an empty road, but when Google tried to put their auto-driving car on a real road it got overwhelmed trying to map other car movements and slammed into a parked car trying to deal with other cars turning at an imperfect and unanticipated angle.
The good thing is, now the AI can be trained with the actual footage and images of this prompt, allowing for more accurate cabbage-related content, and that's something we all needed in the MJ community
Good point
Thank god.
Nice last name brother ;)
💥🤣🤣
And now we are one step closer to the AI revolution.
This is the greatest cabbage love story since _Avatar: The Last Airbender._
😂
My cabbages!
aI so glad I wasnt the only one to think this.
My Cabbage Corp.!!
When the cabbage floated away from Tom Hanks in _Cabbagastaway_ >snif
"Could I have waited for an off week and done this as a web exclusive? Yes, I probably should have done that. But I decided to instead spend a third of a main show episode setting up my wedding to this cabbage and I think that, more than anything, proves my devotion to this marriage."
The cabbage wanted a summer wedding
Absolutely heard this in his voice. Absolutely
that's exactly what he would have said
My thoughts, almost exactly
Florals: stunning. Groom: dapper. Vows: heartwarming. Overall, a beautifully put together wedding. Though, considering the plain tulle of the veil, I think the cabbage might have waited until the last minute to order their attire. I can understand favoring simplicity for whatever reason; maybe it didn't want to be a bridezilla, or the elaborate beaded lace styles just don't reflect the cabbage's personality, or wanting to keep costs down; but it's your wedding day. You're going to want to remember this for the rest of your life. At least have the veil hemmed instead of leaving the edge raw.
I was expecting this to segue into a story about AI ethics and concerns about how this may impact copyright law and job security for visual artists, etc., but I can appreciate where it ended up.
Yeah, I also clicked for this reason. Not mad at cabbage memes though.
This was actually the 3rd act of the LWT from 2 weeks ago (8/14) about Afghanistan. After that main story, he did this 10 minute segment. It looks like they are taking a break this week, and likely taking a break next week for Labor Day weekend, as well.
I hope he revisits it in his usual style talking about the job security topic and the various legal debates around it
I'm a graphics artist
I also do backgrounds for video games
AI generated images are why I can't sleep at night
Same, was disappointed honestly
when John Oliver makes an entire 10 minute segment to prove just why he has almost 500 hits compared to all the other late night hosts with less than 20
And after making it now has soooo many more
Yes but the James Cordon airplane one was pretty good though
@@smuller8988 Yeah, but it would never fly.
and you know he and his team made those images themselves right
@@stanleywtang exactly what i was thinking. lol. like, oh how convenient for john, he has all this to materialize into a segment. definitely could just be some goofy hardcode fans, but... i kinda dont think so? still super funny though.
I was expecting him to dive into the AI’s potential threat to the art industry haha but this video is a lot of fun
Oh that one is coming, but probably further down the line once the consequences have become more clear. A bit early for the post mortem yet.
As an artist this has been so exhausting. I’m honestly grateful for something about it that isn’t extremely depressing. I hope he revisits it more critically in the future, but I suspect that would be a main piece and there’s still a lot going on with it that needs to happen before they can get super in depth about it
Steve Buscemi is ALWAYS a ‘special ingredient’ that makes anything funnier❤️

also can we just take a moment to appreciate the absolutely stunningly gorgeous setup for that wedding set? someone got to have a great time designing that part of things. (not that whoever designs the side set pieces don't always have fun, but still!) seriously beautiful work, they deserve all kinds of compliments for it. and I bet it'll inspire more than one or two people for their own wedding layouts, heh!

also... that cabbage was hot!

Good point: It looked "other-wordly".
It was a stunning set, we would all be lucky if we got married there.
If you had told me that in 5 months, John Oliver would go from blackmailing congress with legally obtained personal information to having Steve Buscemi ordain his marriage to a cabbage...
I probably would have believed you, because that is completely on brand with this show, and I'm all here for it.

"Oh, Interesting - Maybe John's gonna spend ten minutes talking about the ethical concerns to do with AI or how AI imagery might quickly end up outpacing human art as a cheaper, more accessible alternative."
"Oh, nevermind. It's just a story about cabbage love."
I mean it's a good cabbage love story but I hope he actually talks about the ethical concerns, this was definitely made when Dall-E was used for funny images and meme generation purposes
@@dwixodoodles8636 There are no ethical concerns, it is an image generator no different from a paintbrush, just instead of painting manually a prompt is entered and an image is made. The only difference between the two is time and skill. MidJourney also has a lot of censoring and moderation to ensure things that could be offensive or pornagraphic are removed
@@lilfgaming6359 Okay, it's good that AI Websites have censorship like that
But I'm referring to it replacing actual artists. Obviously what the AI generates won't be nearly as interesting as what an actual artist would make, but I'm still worried it might cost many artists jobs, that's all.
EDIT: grammar
@@cat-le1hf AI won't replace artists unless it ever develops a sense of expression, it will be used by companies to shortcut their way into making movies that will probably be terrible. But the transition will cost artists their jobs unless they form some other media company to make their own stuff without AI
@@dwixodoodles8636 It isn't there yet. From what I've seen on the site, you have to know what your doing, such as knowing the correct keywords and even a little coding syntax, to get a good result and even then you'd probably want an actual artist to polish it up before presenting it as concept art or anything else. For example, for whatever reason it's terrible at hands and usually has excessively disproportioned symmetry in faces like missing nostrils/ears and different colored eyes (not that two colors can't happen in eyes, it's just the norm for the site). On top of that the eyes it produces are usually nightmare fuel like black worms swirling about rather than defined whites, irises, and pupils.
All these little technical issues are easily remedied by a professional artist... so right now this is just a tool like any other in an artist's kit to get quick mock ups or baseline platforms to build off of. Even then, it'll still need wordsmiths inputting prompts... but that skill will be harder to justify prices for.
That isn't to say these projects won't get that good though. Given 1-5 more years and I'd be surprised if the issue of genuinely replacing artists entirely isn't at hand. I remember people always saying that AI automation would never be able to replace human creativity, yet clearly AI will likely replace 2D image artists-particularly concept artists-first. Second if you count technical support bots.
This is our generation's John Henry moment; Oliver took on the machine, and proved humanity still has value.
Yeah till like....today....now open AI are most probably feeding DALL-E the images from this very video and it is going to be super accurate at images of weddings with plants from there on. XD
Garry, Sedol, your defeats have been avenged
@Paul Calixte THEN....tell that story to GPT-3 then ask it to write a billion similar stories...THEN feed those stories to DALL-E to generate images out of them....THEN finally ask DALL-E "An image of an AI representing it's love to humans" pretty sure an image of a nuke would come out...or some other fiery and/or bloody image. LOL!
@Paul Calixte it's super easy to make weapons out of AI man. Our job is mostly to avoid that. it's a thinking machine with no love or consciousness or morals of any kind....we try to program all that in the process of machine learning. I'm so happy no nutty person somewhere attached some really large AI to a keyboard and a browser and a super fast connection and started it on a process of unsupervised learning "to see what is going to happen". That would be....a ticking armageddon. the AI would eventually learn language and then computer lang out of that....and all the human ways they use to kill one another and....I'm pretty sure at some point it will try something super world ending then!
@@bannaz51 Hey
How are you doing?
Since I became a widow you have managed to not only make me laugh until I cried, but also to realize that I have a chance at love again - even if it's a cabbage. ♥😂❤
This comment made me tear up 🥺 so sorry for your loss. You can ABSOLUTELY love again, cabbage or not 💘
So sorry for your loss. So glad the cabbage made you laugh so much 💗
I would like to give it a try to be your cabbage. Pretty sure I would be great at that. Greetings, peace, love & Gesundheit from Germany
Cancer (🖕🏽) took the love of my life and I just want you to know that it never goes away, but it does get better. A time will come when you realize you haven't thought about them all day/week, and you'll be flooded with feelings of guilt.... but it's crucial that you process that emotion and realize that they would want you to move on and be happy. 🙂 God bless you and good luck.
John Oliver is at his best when he gets genuinely surreal. This is beautiful.
This is funnier when you remember that "mon petit chou", a common French term of endearment, literally translates to "my little cabbage", and that Prince Philip used to call Queen Elizabeth cabbage. Cuz cabbage = darling, apparently. So congrats to the newly wedded couple!
True!
Yes, I can't remember which one, but there's an English film where a guy is getting into bed and tells his wife, "shove over, cabbage".
5:25 I've actually watched that TED talk on how to tie your shoes. I'm an elementary general music teacher who does kindergarten lunch duty and has to tie ALL of the shoes. That TED talk legit changed my life. Nary a shoe knot on my watch will come loose until you pull it, and no double-knots are necessary anymore.
Yeah I was gonna say, I'm pretty sure that is the exact video that taught me how to tie my shoes quickly.
OK you've convinced me, I know what video I'll be now watching. Thanks.
Edit: I'm back! Went down a rabbit hole. ADHD brain 🧠 got distracted, but now I know what a granny knot, square knot, grandpa's knot, Ian knot, and Turtle Turquoise knots are. I've mastered them all, but will stick with the Ian knot as it takes less than a second and I feel like a magician! A 3 min video ended up being an hour long journey. I do not wish my time back. I've learned much, I am now a new person with perfect shoe bows 👟🎀
I'm a software engineer, and i did understand how to tie my shoes properly from that video, i was 30+yo at the time.
That was the first TED talk I ever watched, and it really is better than the title makes you think it would be.
Need to teach my son and I’ve been awful so far. He’s 10. I know. I’ll check it out.

Well, this IS an in-depth analysis of the horrors and terrifying potential of AI!
*imaged
That’s a really fun story but I really would love to see a real full story about the problems of ai image generators in the art world. Between stealing art styles to ownership issues I think it would be a really good one to cover seriously
"steeling" suuure, those mutated body parts are such a threat, Have you even looked at the "theft". Because I'll bet your mutant hands and feet you haven''t
@@gorkskoal9315 Look at AI art from this year. Uncomfortably similar to real pieces and able to replicate actual specific artists' artstyles. It still has a long way to go, but it's developing exponentially, and so the theft aspect is an actual threat from where it was a year ago.
Someone with a good enough computer could make a living stealing someone's art through AI
Let's be honest, no wedding is complete without Steve Buscemi.
I knooooooow this muuuuuuuch is truuuuuuue.... mon petit chouuuuuuu
Everything is better with Steve Buscemi
How do you do, fellow bridesmaids?
Steve Buscemi makes anything awesome just by being in it. Him and Iggy Pop\
I said out loud while i drank my morning coffee watching this "Steve Buscemi.....sure. Why not." I mean at this point in the show I wouldn't have been surprised if Keanu Reeves came out as a the flower girl.
I wonder if the person in finance that gets this shows expense reports still has the energy to ask questions.
It's probably a high turnover position in that studio.
brilliant

"David Zaslav here, I'm a little concerned about the budget for-"
"Just ask HIM about it. We've given up."
John Oliver seems to have free reign and a blank check at HBO.
more clear, well argued, coherent, and nuanced than any dall-e think piece ever written. bravo, and also, congratulations on your nuptials, and also, my condolence on the loss of yours cabbage spouse.
You should also congratulate John on his healthy diet.
John Oliver didn't make it clear that the "search results" for other late night hosts are simply the prompts other people have already created. His examples of prompts were terrible at showing the creativity and flexibility of image generators: not one "in the style of" or "taken with a disposable camera". This was just a gag piece that riffed on AI image generators.

Fun fact; "post poop zoomies" is a term for when a cat jets out of the toilet leaving kitty litter everywhere. Everyone who owns a cat knows what it is.
True dat! And it's usually after a VERY STINKY stinky!!! 😬😹
It’s term for cats AND dogs ;)
Because my pups love running around the yard after dropping a stinky nuke of a shit
Yup! I was laughing when he read the name. I don't know a cat that doesn't do zoomies after pooping lol.
hur dur, dogs have post poop zoomies as well. Everyone who own a dog knows what it is.
Actually it doesn't refer to the the toilet kitty litter left all over the place, it refers at the crazy-happy cat's act after having a poop.
that cabbage wedding is going to be one of the only pieces of content aliens find after the apocalypse and boy its going to throw them off.

Hello 👋
How are you doing?
I doubt John’s wife is very impressed that this wedding likely cost more than their wedding.
The flowers alone 😅😅
On the other hand, Warner/HBO had to pay for this one, instead of her father.
It also made him a lot more money than their wedding did. I'm sure she has no complaints.
If Johns wife would care about nonsense like that, she would not be his wife. Duh.
My favourite thing about all this is that John is now father, and we live in the perpetual age of the internet and this will all be immortalised forever on here most likely. One day, John's kids are going to sit down and watch this.
Ah, yes. Cabbage patch kids.
Well played AI, well played. You knew exactly how to play John like a fiddle.
Well spotted, sir.
Best comment in this comment section!
That guy definitely wants John Oliver to be in the live action version of 'Avatar the Last airbender' and scream, "MY CABBAGES!!"
I very much want that now too.
Yes
@Van Bus I clicked and came back to say I don't understand. I was expecting John's face and voice pasted over the cabbage guy... but no. Just bottles of colored liquids... what?

Fun fact: in the Hebrew Bible there is a singular instance of a word referring to the polyamorous familial relation of "other wife of the husband", and it is in I Samual 1:6. In most English translations, it was translated as "rival" or "adversary". My point being that somewhere in New York there is a woman who is, in the Biblical sense, currently a rival of a cabbage.
C'mon gang ↑ this, of all comments, needs-nay DESERVES-yea many of em-REPLIES!
I want to see what the AI would generate for “cabbage rival” now
Very well articulated; I wish I had more time for trial and error, but I'll be 56 in October and I need ideas and advice on what investments to make to set myself up for retirement, especially with the looming inflation and recession; my goal is to have a portfolio of at least $500k at the age of 60.

Fun Fact: Post Poop Zoomies are often referred to the high amount of energy some cats get after taking poops.
Dogs too.
....i know....😂... that's a kitty's litter box "tell" .... LOL
I figured postpoopzoomies was a cat owner.
As someone who’s walked dogs for 4 years…. And taken care of a not so insignificant number of cats…. I can say for sure at least on 1 occasion were i’ve seen this with a dog….
As someone who just stumbled upon this thread about cats doing this…. I’m very intrigued…. As i’ve never heard or seen this…. And this is coming from someone who’s had an inordinate amount of cats come to use the litter box…. AS I’M SCOOPIN’ it out…. 😵💫🫠😭
@@corxeth1177 My previous cat used to actually get pre-poop zoomies (I thought he was doing it to loosen things up), so I was surprised that post-poop zoomies are more common. My current younger one gets them post-poop. I've witnessed it many times!
My daughter response to this:
"So that's how they make cabbage patch kids"
oh fuck XD I didn't even think of that but that's brilliant
@@kellyv.288 What, because no one can ever think of the same joke as someone else, independently? relax. XD
The Cabbage Saga is legitimately one of the best stories of our modern age. It had everything: Love, intrigue, hope, mourning, psychological torment at the realization that you've accidentally eaten your cabbage spouse and you will never know true happiness as long as you shall live.
Beautiful. Simply magnificent.
True. One might even say "delicious".
We've been through alot on this show but this one takes the cabbage 😂😂
OMG! this entire story was a comedy goldmine! I almost woke up my kids from laughing so hard. A+ john A+.
When Jon Stewart withdrew(2015) from The Daily Show I felt John Oliver had deserved the chance. Now seeing how Trevor has done incredible, and even better seeing John Oliver creating the, in MY opinion, BEST, most in depth reporting on relevant issues, combining it with hilarious jokes, great writing and story telling ... and I could go on praising, but will simply state this fact:
"Winning 23 primetime Emmy awards and many more awards. Secure him all ready as an american comedy legend"
It is better this way. HBO allows him to do the ridiculous things other networks would have absolutely valid questions for (looking at you frog fountains!)
he is from England....
@@johnniewaiker6203 He is an American citizen now, they can't have him back. We're keeping him. :)
Trevor is the opposite of incredile
@@CaptainMisery86 Trevor is funny and sexy, but was weak corporate takes on everything.
Get someone who looks at you like John Oliver looks at his cabbage.
Better yet, get someone who goes down on you like John Oliver on a cabbage.
*I DON'T WANNA BE LITERALLY EATEN!!!* 😱
@@Corbomite_Meatballs yesssss
John raises a very interesting point here 0:09. Considering the entire video is about AI manipulating pictures, it IS weird that web developers still believe that the best way to differentiate people from non-people on the internet is by presenting them with a bunch of, you guessed it, pictures.
Considering the normal fare I was expecting an interesting look at the dangers of AI driven image generation, and how it could be dangerous for things like scientific research.
I was not expecting this. I have not *actually* laughed out loud that much in a long time.
Yeah, I thought the image of the wedding that prompted the sketch at the end was leading to a discussion about the dangers of AI biases, with the algorithm seemingly assuming “marriage” meant between a man and woman of the same skin color.
Honestly? As an artist, I could've used a video on that
It was going to be either what you said or what they actually did. They really only have those two. Not that I'm not still watching.

This must be an investment with Mr John Anderson
I'm just shocked you mentioned Expert John Anderson thought am the only one trading with him
Wow I know Mr Anderson I met him at a conference in carlifornia 2019 where he introduced us his business strategy, he helped me cover my student loans
Could you imagine watching this and seeing your content getting raked over the coals by John? What an honor.
yaaa
@@Mother.Superior holy fucking shit if this is actually you then bravo, legend. so glad you exist, this is an episode that made me cry laughing and that is thanks to you
@@Mother.Superior how did Margaret react to all this!? We have to know!!
@@Mother.Superior Wow! The man himself! Best AI story ever! You or John should make a book out of it and sell it to fundraise for your favorite cause. I'd buy that book! Bravo, dude! Bravo!🥬👏😸
@@Mother.Superior Your muse lead to the funniest live action skit in this shows history
To be fair. That cabbage is Downrigt beautiful. Vibrant green and springy like a morning flower. But i have a hunch she has had plastic. They always maintain impossible standards on tv.
was expecting a story about how this program sadly will eventually replace artists in the corporate landscape. but nope. just John Oliver, cabbage lover.
At first I was wondering how expensive this truly ginormous cabbage plant must have been, probably custom grown with an forbidden amount of fertilizer, but then when he lifted it, as if it were air... and then when he kissed it and he could just push his head inside... I knew it was just an air balloon with some leaves around.
I choose to believe it's a giant plush cabbage
I'm thinking it was probably a beach ball inside. I am quite disappointed that the show didn't fly in a special ordered cabbage from somewhere far north like Alaska where the long summer days allow for huge produce like cabbages to grow. We expect more from you John!
Wait... you telling us that he just got married to a blown up fake? Welp, happens to the best of us. So, good luck, john
Yeah, that or a pillow.
@@6alecapristrudel Somehow, that does make it better.
The key ingredient John's "sketches" and South Park have in common, which I love - they take a topic, exaggerate it to absurdity and run with it. Also, AI needs a learning material, so next time somebody asks it to draw a wedding between a man and a cabbage should yield perfect results :-)
In other news, currently on John's Wikipedia Page in info-box:
Spouse
- Kate Norley (m. 2011)
- Cabbage (m. 2022)
I am crushed that it is no longer there. I think wikipedia doesn't understand that this is, in fact, a very serious affair.
When John pulled back the veil on the cabbage I couldn't help my self and shouted, "FEED ME, Seymour!"
Hahahahahhaa yes!!!
I love knowing that the next version of the IA will probably be fed this very video and become surprisingly accurate at depicting cabbage weddings 😁
well this is awkward
Not that much.
i love you.
@@myragingwhormoans 😘
You mean AWESOME 😂
You're officially a fucking legend 🙌
I was kinda expecting an educational piece on AI Images. I wasn't expecting to see a heart warming story about a man marrying his cabbage! This was definitely a better Love story than Twilight!
And who would have thought just a month later a lettuce would outlive the Prime Minister
this made me smile, maybe one day i’ll be someone’s cabbage :)
9:57 John Oliver's best ai generated meme ever
Is that LOSS?
If that was the last episode of John Oliver I think we would all agree, well done.
It was the last episode for that cabbage, I'm sure.
Through an absolute torrential downpour of tears in the storm of emotionally charged bouts of abject loss and sweet sweet nostalgia, denial and fear and love ...in that instance yes i would agree eventually
So much to say about this.
"Boy, that escalated quickly."
"ROFL, Steve Buscemi is using a restaurant credit card holder!"
"I'm disappointed John Oliver's actual wife didn't interrupt the wedding."
"Man, Steve Buscemi looks great in glasses!"
"Wait, Steve? IS THAT STEVE BUSCEMI?"
@@tretretre1111 pretty sure!

Y'know... Steve Buscemi kinda looks better now than he did 20 years ago.
Steve Buscemi somehow aged into a totally normal-looking person
This is why John Oliver wins the Emmy! So funny! Keep up the good work, John! Love watching your show.
I was like 100% certain this was gonna be a piece about uneasiness over AI-generated images potentially replacing artists. Instead I got cabbage.
Yeah or it being used as a tool to create misinformation
For the first 5 minutes of the video I kept thinking it would turn into a serious story about corporations using AI art to replace artists, or the problems with racial/gender bias in AI models, or something else like that. But nope, it was just John talking about a weird Internet rabbit hole he fell down
This is one of the reasons I love John. His very British ability to laugh at himself whilst sharing it with the world. Bravo, John, bravo! What a perfect ending! 🤣🤣🤣
"So, you wanna actually shoot the scene where you eat the cabbage in your sleep?"
"Are my fucking eyebrows lying?!"
John being on HBO is an absolute human treasure. I've watched since episode one and I can't think of even 1 episode where him and his team missed. It's always something depressing but needing to be voiced and a soft landing in a full circle joke payoff at the end for our time.
Idk, this show just feels like a simple exchange of information for time. Like, "we got something to tell you, and all it costs is 30 minutes and some sore cheeks. Imagine which set at your convenience" wholesome af.
Florist: Must be a big wedding to order all these flowers!
LWT intern: ...yes
Hey John and the team! I was wondering if you could potentially do another Taiwan episode discussing the escalating tensions, evolving situation, and other countries' involvement (choosing to visit Taiwan or not, what that all means, etc.) I am an American who is living in Taiwan right now, and so I am very much so aware of everything that is happening and feel like it is increasing enough to warrant doing one of your trademark thorough dives into. Thanks for readin this :)
"Half a cabbage, which is more psychologically damaging than a whole cabbage" - James Acaster
I was thinking that the entire time!!! 🤣
Where is this from?
@@ViraMotorko James Acaster's cabbage chronicles
I actually stumbled upon those images a week or so ago when a few people were trying to generate him marrying a cabbage and wondered what he thought about all this. I never dreamed he'd do a full video on it 🤣 This was the most satisfying conclusion to that saga.
where can i join that discord?
This episode came out a week ago. That's probably why people where trying to do that.
John Oliver's kids: "what's for dinner, mom?"
John Oliver's wife: "your stepmom."
the devotion of John Oliver to his job is just insane
At first I was like "there's no witness to that marriage, this is a sham!", then I realized the witnesses were all of us all along.
I know it's illegal to witness a human and a goat do the deed, but if this same rule applies to plants then we are all screwed.
I can not explain the level of joy this show brings me. Thank you, and all the people behind you, that brings this magic to life. LoL
ive always suspected that captchas (and, subsequently these ai art generators) are just the ai's sneaky way of having us teach them how to identify everything.
Well the AI didn't set up the captchas obviously, they were set up by humans, but that is the captcha's secondary purpose, acutally. Remember the word captchas? They were used to help the machines digitalize scanned books. And now the picture-based captchas are used to train image-identifying software.
It is. That's why it exists
that kind of design would actually be perfect to train an AI with but it would need less randomization. like the AI choosing pictures from a folder instead of just randomly selected and you would see every single time it getting closer to just the correct images.
as kooey said, captchas are actually us teaching the ai how to identify things...
it started with words and we got digitalized books... then they were streetnumbers and we got streetview... now it's trafficsigns and -lights and we'll get selfdriving cars...
Wow you're a genius.
I must say, it's quite nice hearing someone in the crowd who enjoys laughing and has very damn good one. Please invite this person more often. Now onto watch the other 8 min and 50 seconds of this video
"What are we going to talk about this week?"
"Just have Steve Buschemi officiate a wedding between John and a cabbage"
this has got to be one of the greatest lastweektonight episodes.
this is one hell of a way to introduce the general public to this revolutionary AI.
I find a lot of utility from ai created images. I never keep exactly what's created, but the bizarre creations are a hack for creative blocks. Sometimes what I see just sends my mind reeling into it's own creative space. It's a useful tool for creators, and a shortcut for nobody's with no original concepts.
Too bad its mostly trained using stolen art
Name an artist who came up with a completely original idea? No one just creates art without having seen and experienced art and life. Just because its model was fed images and photos taken by other humans, doesn't mean it doesn't create some amazing original stuff itself. I've created things I'd hang on my wall which I've never seen created anywhere before. I'd love you to find me an artist who created a claymation of an anthropomorphic toilet licking its lips before I prompted one with text. Or how about a silly cute pineapple spaghetti mouse creature? These programs are incredible, and progress is only going to increase exponentially.
It's good that you are positioning yourself to adapt to this changing world.
Yes yes and yess! I was soo thrilled to see this comment as I had just been soo thrilled to have some fresh new conceptual designs and fonally some fn in inspiration but moreover, a reprieve from the lack thereof lately ha also some jus get me lol'in soon as they're "delevoped" ha best vibes to you and your creative endeavors sir
@@declaringpond2276 I don't think many people are grasping this episode's topic/content yet ha go try it out ! It's not "too bad" at all
@@declaringpond2276 It sucks that someone can put an artist's image on the internet without permission or credit, but the act of looking at an image and reading the text around it is not illegal, whether it's an art student or an AI ingesting the image.
Name one stolen image of a cabbage or John Oliver that the AI ripped off when generating its art.
John Oliver takes AI images to another level. Comedic gold!
The meeting where they pitched "we could recreate the John Marries a Cabbage for our live audience", thats the kind of meeting I want to attend.
They must go through an HBO executive a week what with the stress they put the company under. “You want to use some of our dragon money to do WHAT?!”
@@Circuitssmith So John Oliver is the reason GoT ended that way!!!
Now I desperately want to see Ryan George recreate it
@@Circuitssmith they always use the Dragon money to whow and amuse the audience. Which makes also money.
