Artificial Intelligence in Hollywood: A Brave New World of Creativity and Challenges

AI Takes Center Stage: The Future of Tinseltown is Written in Code

Greg's Words

The Mandolorian show utilizes the Unreal engine(a powerful graphics platform) to generate to create the show's digital sets and backgrounds. Instead of building physical sets, the production team uses a large LED video wall to display high-resolution digital backgrounds and environments in real-time.

Other companies outside the entertainment industry are using the same software to develop training programs(Walmart) and create immersive customer experiences online(Audi). 

Within the entertainment industry, AI is helping rearrange and enhance the creative process at all levels - from writing scripts, even developing characters from scratch.  

We take what we see on the screen for granted, as the creative process and production is in the background behind the fourth wall - as it should be.  The point here is in an industry that is eternally about face to face collaboration, human to human communication and touch, AI looks to be the antitheisis to the effort.

But it isn't.

Revolutionizing Sales: Greg's Word

The AI landscape is expanding rapidly, with countless applications and a deluge of information flooding the digital sphere by the minute.

In this ever-evolving context, I've decided to contribute my perspective.

The sales industry has been experiencing significant transformation over the past few decades, as the balance of power shifts from supply to demand. Today's prospects are more informed than ever, sometimes even possessing greater knowledge about your offerings than you do.

This is the dawn of a new era, where the internet has granted unparalleled access to information that was once exclusive to sales professionals. No longer.

The meteoric rise and widespread adoption of AI, AGI, and ChatGPT have brought forth an era of unprecedented challenges and unparalleled opportunities. In this rapidly changing landscape, there are no experts.

Sales, as a discipline, has evolved into a realm of professional engagement. AI is revolutionizing the field, weeding out mediocrity and elevating the best to even greater heights.

The myriad of sources and opinions on selling in this brave new world can be overwhelming, rendering the task of covering even a small fraction seemingly futile.

Nevertheless, we persevere.

Digital Maestro: Sam Altman's Symphony of AI and the Future of Work

 

Inside the Mind of the Man Behind ChatGPT and the Impact of AI on the Business World

Greg's Words

Up until last month, I had never even heard of the guy. But just this week, I stumbled upon a conversation between Lex and Sam on YouTube - and let me tell you, it was two and a half hours of content that left a lasting impression. I'm talking pivotal, historic, "mark your calendars" kind of stuff.

Sam Altman's story reads like a tech entrepreneur's dream. The guy was programming computers at the age of 8, and by 19 he had already founded and launched multiple successful software companies. He's a genius, hobnobs with the likes of Musk and Friedman, and has even made appearances on some of the biggest talk shows out there.

I recently took in a conversation between Sam and Lex; it was enthralling.  AI connects all the dots and vibrates across every dynamic - from economics to politics.  Sam's worldview includes talking robots and a Universal Basic Income.  

He is both cautionary and optimistic, pragmatic and Utopian.  Ultimately, what comes of all this, nobody can foresee.  

We are all along for the ride.

April Fools Day is Obsolete

Greg's Words

Every few years, on April 1, I write an April Fool article. 

• Back in 2009, IBM bought HP while Canon gobbled up Panasonic.  
• In 2011, HP bought Xerox.  
• In 2022, HP was behind the UFO conspiracy.

This year, no matter what I make up, it just can't approach reality.  There are just too many weird and unpredictable things going on in the world.

Enjoy our latest creation about the 1st of April.

Cheers!
