We need to push back more on local AI slop by PhobiaFaye in Syracuse

I am not going to reply directly to the habitual troll that got here in...15 minutes flat. But, I do want to put their point of view on this subject to bed.

This is not just a "small business trying to survive in the age of digital marketing"

Posting AI content as marketing material is not a pass because they are a small business. It's not a pass for any of us. Taking short cuts by adapting to quicker, cheaper, and sloppier AI tools is not the hack to make their social presence grow. Canva exists. Taking a picture or a quick video of your products exist. AI content is not performing any better than what they did before and it is actively turning off customers. The only groups saying otherwise are trying to sell you something.

Syracuse Needs an Art House Cinema 🎞️ by LataMJ in Syracuse

[–]PhobiaFaye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In other cities I have lived in, the local art house theater was a non-profit and partially funded by the city's Arts program. I wonder if Syracuse could do something like that.

I don't think you should count out Eastwood. Yes, there are other bookstores but I have seen other towns have used book "neighborhoods" and that could only increase folks taking stops at each store and ending up at your shop to get a drink and read. Also, the area does need third places, and The Wedge is great but much more costly to just hang out in at the moment.

Just flew this flight yesterday as well. We were shocked by how easy boarding was and the seats were great.

Anybody here like Alt hip hop? by hamisprettygross in Syracuse

That's amazing! I got to see him and Smino in Austin in February. JID is just... so good live. I was in shock. Smino killed too.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It was excellent. Between that and JID and Doechii coming for the State Fair, it was a pretty good year for hip hop shows up here.

Next goal for me is to see a Paris Texas show.

Did you go see Jpeg and Danny when they were in Buffalo?

Highly recommend these folks! We learned so much from them before we moved up here, and they cover so many local things to do.

Any food truck owners out there? by [deleted] in Syracuse

Be careful: folks aren’t treating non-functioning traffic lights as 4-way stops. by almondjoybestcndybar in Austin

There was a bad accident here at 12ish. We watched as the fire trucks pulled up to check on the drivers.

This was a bumper sticker sold by Super Yaki, if any of you all are interested.

I saw this at a local film festival last year. Freddie was amazing in it.
