There's never been #cellular service, but in 1980s there were payphones at each community, if your car broke down, you could walk to a phone. Today, tourists are stranded. No services in the most scenic areas. #HRMPoli#NSPoli#Tourism
#EcumSecum (Google it) spans the next County, but #Halifax begins at the bridge.
You get radio signals, the morning news & amazing #Sunrise down on South Side Rd.
If you have a video that conveys some information and doesn't provide any other value than conveying information, there is absolutely no reason for that video to exist. All of it could be conveyed via a blog post. Or give me a transcript. I can very easily get through a transcript of a video in less than five minutes for something that could take 30-45 minutes of my time.
#Video#TV#Streaming#Hollywood#Screenwriters#AI#LLMs:"Outside of the Netflix headquarters in New York City on Wednesday, hundreds of members of the Writer’s Guild of America (WGA) marched for a better contract on the second day of the writer's strike. They were there to communicate a clear message: Writers refuse to be replaced by AI.
Signs showcased slogans such as “Writers Generate All of it,” “Don’t Let ChatGPT Write ‘Yellowstone’,” “I Told ChatGPT To Make A Sign and It Sucked,” and “Don’t Uber Writing.” These signs referred to the unprecedented “AI” category in the guild’s proposal in which they asked to regulate the use of AI on union projects but were met with refusal from studios. Writers are seeking pay for episodes on streaming platforms, and to not have their work devalued and turned into gig labor due to the use of text-generating AI programs to write dialog."
Thanks to @sharonecathcart for reminding me of this with her reference to:
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young's "Ohio" set to a devastating series of photos from the Kent State shootings, and other 1960-70's protests, compiled by Hard Rain Productions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCS-g3HwXdc
I had forgotten how powerful this was and seeing the photos of peaceful protestors and the #CSNY song "Ohio".
I encourage everyone to view this.
We need people in the music and video industry to create equivalent products that address the chaos caused by the #SCOTUS and the #republican party. I wish I had those skills.
