I watched Ricky Gervais in high dynamic form (range) last night animating the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

Gotta be a long ass lens, shirley? Not as long as the pole, but long enough. No idea on f-stop though, I always get confused with that.

He was fabulous. I also enjoyed Brad Pitt and Patricia Arquette’s acceptance speech for putting everything into perspective.

As a retired AI specialist and a security officer for the IRS the LG AI presentation scares me.

Privacy and security are my main concerns. Unfortunately technological advances are usually way ahead of resolving security problems in the software.

Also in the demo the sharing of personal information with the AI will also lead to many companies using your personal information either directly or indirectly.

Having AI making payments and ordering merchandise has many potential problems.

When I read about all the security hacks being done on major corporations, municipalities and the constant security problems Microsoft has in its software it make me want to stay away from devices that could compromise my privacy.

Entertainment Companies Spend $121 Billion on Original Content in 2019

U.S. media and entertainment companies spent over $120 billion on original content, including movies and TV shows, in 2019, per an analysis conducted by Variety Intelligence Platform.

It’s a whopping sum fueled by the increasing investment of players including AT&T’s HBO, which expanded its production of original content by 50%, to 150 hours. To maintain its market share, Netflix increased their content spend by $3 billion as the streamer increased its content volume by over 50% versus 2018.

Of the total amount spent on content, five mega companies–AT&T, ViacomCBS, Netflix, Comcast and Disney–accounted for approximately $87.4 billion, or 72.5% of the total spend. Disney itself was the greatest content spender, accounting for nearly one quarter of the entire amount, splashing out $27.8b across their studios, networks and SVOD services.

Let it go, he's not the same person. Narmak has his own idiosyncrasies, we all do, but he's mainly been in the movie threads rather than the 4K ones (him still watching a plasma and all).

Missed the Hisense pressor, however I’m told the introduction of their laser TV presentation was interesting. Makes me wonder if their expanded colorimetric gamut will come with a risk of increased observer metamerism, à la assertions for a different methodology first presented here – https://s3.cad.rit.edu/cadgallery_pr...on-12-2015.pdf

If so, will add more complexity to delivering true ‘Director intent’, meaning, do you see what I see?

Streaming is still second fiddle to disc.

What profile do all streaming uses, what profile do all disc uses?
