Make stuff like Sleep Token does🤘🏻. Don't know Sleep Token? They're a metal band that has blown-up in recent years for a variety of reasons; smart marketing, The Algorithm and, honestly, they f*cking rock🪨. But another thing really working for them is they somehow blend metal with pop, hip-hop, jazz and prog-rock. So many styles that shouldn't all belong together, but they gorgeously weave these genres into musical tapestries that challenge any pre-conceived notions while still feeling like one piece of music. Simply, they're ✨dynamic✨. Being dynamic adds depth, creates thoughtful space and fires up our brain and heart to think and feel differently. If you're making a video, film, podcast, script or whatever, keep things interesting without straying away from your core message or theme. Get weird, be playful, mash some unrelated words and images together to see what the vibe is. Things are boring when they're a single tone. F*ck around and find out, as they say. Rock on and happy Friday! https://lnkd.in/ewi8gGZX

this seems like a positive way to use AI.

Digital Nomads. So many of us have become wanderers moving from sub to sub based on that hot show and Ian's post unpacks this clearly. I feel that this is a streamer self-inflicted issue. Cost of subs goes up, nomad behavior goes up, cost of content supply goes up, possibly time to examine the fulcrum of diminishing returns and make different decisions/models of subscription? I continue to believe that under these worsening returns, aggregators and new models for additional windows will be what thrives.

One of questions we got asked a lot at Positron is "why don't you support [insert brand name] VR headset?" The Voyager VR chairs have used the HP Reverb G2 headset for some time, and they are due for a new headset upgrade soon. While the Voyager VR chair is technically headset-agnostic, so many factors come into figuring out a VR headset that will work. It's not just about the best resolution or comfort, though those are top factors. Sure, in an ideal setting we'd be able to use Apple Vision Pro or that level of image fidelity. But an LBE setting, is the opposite of an ideal setting. Thousands of different people taking on and off that headset every week. With time, the headsets invariably break, wear out and need replacement parts (VR cables going from the headset to the PC are the first to go). Operational costs are a big factor for the operator of the VR theaters. If a manufacturer doesn't readily supply parts -- the operational costs can be get expensive. For example, in the HP headset we've used, the plastic headstrap will eventually break. HP doesn't supply that part as a separate part-- the only option was a new $800 headset. Multiply that times hundreds of replacements annually for VR Theaters around the world, and costs can quickly soar. Fortunately, our engineering team devised a $30 replacement custom-made part for our customers. Other factors are: software compatibility with LBE use-case scenarios (can the headset lose tracking gracefully without the need to interrupt the experience?), warranty and support (especially in countries around the world-- how soon can a replacement VR cable arrive when an operator is selling thousands of tickets per week?), ease of use and time to set up on a new customer (every minute counts with throughput), overall durability, and of course, cost. As much as I love the Apple Vision Pro for its stunning visual fidelity, it's nowhere close to being feasible yet for Voyager VR theaters.
