ChatGPT 4 is coming

Happy Pi day! Back listening to Naatu Naatu on loop again.

📽️ ChatGPT 4 is rumored to be launching this week and it could support creating videos from text prompts.

🧐 Interesting thought piece from HBR on how generative AI could disrupt video. AI to learn and inform what videos to make - useful. AI that makes videos designed to engage, and keeps learning to keep making more engaging videos - sounds like a fast track to satisfying the worst parts of our lizard brain.

⛳️ Reelgolf is a company installing cameras on golf courses to capture the infrequent peak moments of hitting a great shot. Specific, but what I found interesting is the idea of building a business around capturing video around hard-to-get peak moments. You’re not going to film every single swing, but if you get a hole in one you’ll wish you had captured it. And obviously, you’ll share it everywhere. I see it as a thought experiment on your own business: how can you capture peak moments of hard-to-get experiences or how can you create sharable moments?

If you’re stuck thinking of original ideas, just remember everything is a remix.

You don’t have to start from 0.

Find what resonates or inspires you.

Add your own twist or take to it.

Or use the same format but apply it to your own niche.

We will be at NAB in April, the massive camera and video tech convention where all the new gear is announced.

We’ll be producing a lot of videos on the latest news and updates.

This page on our site will be the central hub, along with our YouTube channel.

I’ll also have a separate email list segment that will be a daily update of everything we covered. You have to opt-in to that one - I’m not going to send everyone on this list a daily email they didn’t ask for.

So if you want daily updates (it’s only 5 days in April), add your email to this segment at the link below or just reply here and I’ll add you to the list.

Want to get in front of 100k viewers?

We still have slots for series sponsors. I conservatively estimate 100K views across all the videos we produce, plus this newsletter. If you want to get in front of marketers and creators, our target audience, reply to this email.
