"And now for the weather..."
Face melts and morphs into distorted illegible weather map background.
I'm sure this will end well
Can't wait to see their version of fox with fake blonde porn stars in lingerie talking about how capital gains cuts make them so wet, daddy.
I managed to track down some test footage
I'm not at all sure that the technology is there today (which the guy even says himself).
But I do believe that there will come a point in time where it is, if it is not today.
However, from a business standpoint, I think that the problem in making a compelling personalized newsfeed is less generating personalized video and audio and more in building a profile and determining what content the individual wants to see.
Thing is, Google is already in the business of profiling people and building personalized news recommendations, with Google News. And they have a lot more data on people and probably the individual reading the thing to use to feed any algorithms to generate recommendations. So I think that it's probably gonna be difficult to enter that field.
That being said, I dunno. There's Naked News, which has the gimmick of offering a nude anchor doing the news. I remember thinking, some fifteen years back when it came out, "that won't last", but it's still around today. Maybe it's possible that there's room for a company to specialize in the video presentation of the news, that there is room to really add value in how news is presented.
I remember thinking, some fifteen years back when it came out, "that won't last",
It has lasted a lot longer than you realize. I remember watching it with my flatmates on the internet and this was back in 1999.
Oh, you're right. About 25 years back. I'm pretty sure that it was its debut that I remember, though, because I saw it in the context of other news talking about it being a new novelty, and I'm pretty sure that they were talking about its start.
Didn't Allen Pan already try that?
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=lCSrN-e_dkE
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
I wonder if the name is a conscious callback to "Channel One," which introduced Xennials to Anderson Cooper and Lisa Ling, among others, as well as Crystal Pepsi and the concept of mandatory advertising at school.
It's inevitable
hey nakednews.com is still going so why not
I'm imagining some creepy mash up of https://newsminimalist.com and Replika.
