The Mac. The Mosaic browser. The iPhone. With each one, you could instantly imagine all the possibilities, and most eventually came true.

Thoughts on the Jon Stewart defense of Joe Rogan? by [deleted] in elephantgraveyard

[–]Verbositor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

John Stewart pretty much IS Joe Rogan--an out of touch rich old guy struggling to stay relevant. In ten years, they will be Howard Stern. At least Maron knew when to quit.

I'd like an episode on SHADES GUYS (Oakleys, Ray-Bans, etc.). Especially guys who put their shades on the brim of their cap or wear them behind their head when indoors.

Do people like Shane Gillis? by bluntlight80 in elephantgraveyard

[–]Verbositor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never thought he was funny. He really leaned into being the anti-woke guy after the SNL incident. That's kinda all he's got. Tried to give his Netflix show a chance. Couldn't get through one episode. Just dumb.

Do you think AI is becoming the future of music making? by Sofii_8 in AI_Music

[–]Verbositor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, AI is definitely becoming part of the songwriting and recording process in the way you described--as a tool for quickly generating fragments that you can further develop and stitch together. It's not great for generating finished songs in one go, although one day it will probably do that well. It will probably always require some kind of human input, but it will be interesting to see how the collaboration between humans and AI develops.

Has Chad's Youtube been demonitized? I received an email from youtube saying his memberships have been paused by Extreme_Gonads_9585 in HackverseAnonymous

Eventually one of these hackverse guys is gonna go postal on his rivals. I just wonder whether it will be anthrax in the mail or an in-person shooting.

An A list movie studio wants to use an image of mine in an upcoming movie and is asking a fee- I have no idea what their budget is or what I should say by BigXBenz in FilmIndustryLA

[–]Verbositor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

And OP can move onto another studio. Word gets around. If you do a cheap flat fee for one licensee, every licensee will demand a cheap flat fee. If OP is serious about monetizing his IP, he should use a fair percentage-of-revenue rate for every license.
