A Fun Test of your Creative Type

Here’s a little fun exercise for your weekend.

The only problem I see with the test is the binary questions: this or that, true or false, over the top or under the radar, but it’s good to know that my creative type is…Adventurer. How about you?

Has anyone pitched on Stage 32 in their pitch sessions and had one of their projects optioned. If not, what is the purpose of paying for a pitch sessions on Stage 32?

Maurice Vaughan

Still Rick at least this tells me there is a chance to get a project optioned through the pitch sessions and like anywhere you look to submit hope it's something they want.

Has Nvidia Been Illegally Scraping YouTube Videos for its AI Models?

Amongst some there is a resignation to the inevitability of AI’s rise in our industry. I would hope that in the future, we would be more discerning and less accepting of its development, especially in the light of companies ‘training’ their AI systems by plagiarising copyrighted material.

Maybe this...

A lawsuit has been filed by a YouTuber alleging that the tech company has been using his content to train its AI video model. Here's what you need to know about the allegations.
Arthur Charpentier

I think all this will lead to the collapse of the usual Internet. It is obvious that the impunity of the special services and their agents leads us to the need to hide and encrypt our information, files and work.

Arthur Charpentier

The problem is not artificial intelligence, but the fact that several corporations have monopolized the Internet. We need laws that would prohibit them from stealing our work and spying on us.

Suzanne Bronson but that probably won’t have any effect on corporations in Europe or Asia. How can a California law restrict AI development in other territories?

Funny, I'm just reading Henry Winkler's book and it mentions the time Ron Howard quit Happy Days to venture into directing. I wish I could receive your help but got rid of my credit card.

That's an interesting coincidence, Claude! Well I'm available to help and also take Venmo, if that works better. More about me on www.takoudes.com if you're interested!

No good films but good screenplays. Sometimes a person needs a helping hand to get people to see their good work on screen.

So true Claude! No doubt helping hands are greatly needed!
