Friendly reminder

Shoot a dm to that local business using ai to post online.

People notice the ai. No one wants to be that company.

I messaged a business this week (I have worked with them a few year ago) and noticed they were using a mix of old photos and ai imagines, and asked if they needed a refresh on content, after all “they sell a real, quality product- so their content should reflect that” remind them people pick out ai shit.

I dmed a company on IG and got an immediate response from the owner with their phone number to talk to them directly.

Some times they already have an “agency” taking care of their socials. Call them out direct and frankly. Ai slop should not be rewarded. Map r be afraid to burn bridges. Stand up for what is right and tell companies they’re pushing slop.

Howdy all,

I need to record some remote interviews this week. I was planning on just doing Zoom and screen/ output recording via OBS, and lock the screen of the interviewee so it’s always up.

Quality on their end will “be what it will be” as far as lighting, webcam, audio. I have no control over any of that and just want it to be as seamless on my end.

There will be someone else interviewing them, so there would be 3 of us on this call. I’m basically just the “tech guy”. I filmed a bunch of other interviews properly on location for this project but these people we can only get online.

Would zoom work? Or is there a better software that would work for this. The key is that it’s easy for the other two people who aren’t super tech savvy. I also need to make sure I can get as good of image audio as I can (knowing limitations) and keep the interviewee on screen the whole time.

Thanks!

EDIT: I’m going to try Riverside. I’m going do the free trial of Grow (not sure if it’s even needed?) but i only need it for a few hours this week. My tests show it should work super easy.

Thanks to all for their input.

I was very surprised to see no one mentioned this, which means I probably snagged it extremely quickly completely by fluke.

Been a vine member for just under a year. Got gold after my first evaluation and generally been pretty stoked (considering I had never even heard of vine when I got invited and thought it was a scam). I’ve nabbed lots of great little practical items we would be buying anyways as well as a lot of things I probably wouldn’t be able to justify the cost on but would definitely be nice to have (also gotten some complete and utter 1 star junk). Also gotten a lot of ready useful photo and video equipment (no big cameras or anything- mostly just rigging stuff, a couple little lights, extra batteries, etc)

My evaluation is coming up and so I popped on my phone to check my status as I know I’m close to the 90% (91%, actually). Popped onto the RFY page and saw nothing too interesting- a camera top handle caught my eye so I thought I’d look at the product page. I have others I like more and I don’t need more clutter so I went back…and there it was.

At first I thought it was one of those photo frame things but I clicked it anyways. And holy crap: a 65 inch tv! I’ve been so close to pulling the trigger on one for like 2-3 years. My current tv is from 2010, but still worked okay. If I was goi bf to upgrade it would be with a proper TV not a cheap one.

It had a bunch of options, I didn’t even look at them, I just tried to get through to the request page as fast as I could. I finally did… wheel was spinning, and then… “you need to update your payment method”. OH NO! weirdly enough my CC on file was valid, I just needed to select it again. With shaking hands I tried to get through the process as fast as I could. And then we see the glorious confirmation page. It actually went through.

I wasn’t about to celebrate though. I was on edge until I saw that out for delivery on the tracker. Even then, I wasn’t going to relax until it was in my door. Yesterday afternoon it showed up. It was real. Thanks daddy Bezos!

To answer some questions that might come up:
- this is my first “BIG ticket” item, though in the last month I’ve gotten a couple items that were valued at $600-$800
- this was at 11:39pm (EDT) on Tuesday night
- I do not use extensions or anything and I don’t sit there and refresh. In fact I do almost all my Vine-ing on my phone
- the first thing I watched on it was the Bezos song by Bo Burnham
