AI IS EXPLODING ALL AROUND US

It's the Oklahoma Land Rush.  Everyone, that is everyone, is rushing forward to develop AI with or for their existing operations and applications.  Not only chatGPT for text and midJourney for graphics, but Bing for Microsoft and Bard for Google.  Check them out with a Google search and you'll see.

Also do a search for AI on YouTube and it will blow your mind.  There are dozens if not hundreds of YouTube videos on how AI works, it's current and future effects on the world and humanity, and (wait for it now), promotions, rollouts and tutorials on all the new AI products that are coming on the market, and how they work in tandem with other AI projects.

ThinkTech is interested in all these things, not only how AI text can help us, how midJourney can generate interesting graphics for us, but also making AI movies, no surprise.  We use animation programs to make our various animated videos (which we use for promotional videos, conversations and commentaries), but now, with the help of Eleven Labs and D-ID in tandem we can create amazing AI videos with AI text to AI voice to AI Avatars and AI Videos.

These programs and techniques are improving every day, and become more appealing to anyone who wants to create AI productions.  Further, the prices they some of them charge seem to be going down.  Others like chatGPT remain free.  In any event, what we have here is an explosion of technology, an explosion of products, and an explosion of functionality and implications for the future.

We'll be watching and thinking about all this because we know these AI technologies and products will be of great use to us and our viewers.  You should likewise be watching and looking for the best and most powerful of these technologies and products every day.  Start with Google searches, and don't forget to search on YouTube, which is an expanding treasure trove on the subject.

PLEASE GET READY FOR OUR FALL FUND DRIVE The ramp up for our Fall Fund Drive starts in mid-October and the drive itself will be in and through the month of November.  It's coming soon so we're preparing for it, with our various emails, bulletins and messages to go to our viewers, hosts and guests, including you.  We rely heavily on our fund drives to pay the bills.  Regrettably, our last two fund drives were not as successful as we had hoped, and so this time we're working hard to address what we can do to make this one more successful. Will you join us?  Just as we are working hard to produce all our 30 weekly talk shows (which is an effort all in itself) and to prepare for our fund drive this fall, we hope you are thinking about what you can do to help us, to keep us on the air, to enable our staff and citizen journalists to do what they do. It doesn't happen by itself.  We have expenses every day, for staff, space, equipment, streaming and software subscriptions, and

Graphics are worth at least a thousand words We have so many stories and links on our various publications, including our Daily Email Advisories and our Flash Messages and all the newsletters we send out covering news, events, features, fund drives, projects and holidays. All these can all be better with graphics, graphics that catch the eye and reinforce the message.  And more and more we're getting into the swing of things by adding graphics to our content.  That can include graphics from one of the stock photo sites we use, or an AI graphic from Discord-MidJourney, or one of the graphics we have in our collection. We found and have moved on to storing our collection of photos and graphics in Google photos, where we have accumulated a huge number of them in that collection, and this helps us find and include them in all our publications.  The good thing about Google photos is that you can upload and tag them quickly, then find and download them quickly.  Furthermore, you can edit

THINKTECH WORKFLOW NOTICE ThinkTech is always improving its workflow. Now, in lieu of specific “airdates” we will simply upload your shows onto YouTube as soon as they are edited, i.e., 1-2 days after you have appeared on your show. As soon as the videos are uploaded, we will let you know and send you the on demand links for the show and the YouTube playlist so that you can watch the show and share those links withyour friends and associates.. We have redesigned our website to list all the Latest Productions on the top of the homepage (just below the player) and as a sidebar on other pages on the site, so that you can find and play them on demand as soon as they are available.  This will give you better production values for your shows, make it easier for you to find, play and replay them now and in the future, make the workflow easier for our staff, and save software subscription costs. What do you have to do?  Nothing, except share the on-demand links we send you to your friends and
