Chris explains his concept of "H2M" (human-human-machine), where AI poetry emerges as a blend of human creativity, machine processing, and user input. He reflects on the surprising ability of AI to make creative connections humans might miss, giving rise to verses with unique juxtapositions and patterns. However, he emphasizes that the core of this creativity is still deeply rooted in human input. Can AI really outshine human poets, or is it just an amplified reflection of human artistry? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/support
Welcome to episode #184 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional! In this episode, the EWC has come to an end, and we have our first World Cup Champion in Call of Duty! We break down each day of the event, the matches, and ultimately how the event came to a conclusion. There were some big upsets amongst the top 4 teams from CDL Champs, as well as some teams that made huge improvements to their game. We discuss how these moments may impact the next CDL season, with some potential roster changes coming up. Along with this, we share the news of the Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer mod being shut down by Activision. This came as a surprise to many, but unfortunately it is not unexpected from Activision's track history with mods to their games. We share our thoughts on this, and the possibility of any mods in the future. What did you think of the EWC event? Is there anything the CDL should learn from this event, and what do you think EWC can improve upon? Did you plan to play the H2M mod for Mw2? Do you think Activision should change the decision or not? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.

In today's Daily Fix:Popular Call of Duty Mod “H2M” was pulled just hours before its release time after a cease and desist letter from game publisher, Activision. Though sources are mixed on the reasoning, fans are nonetheless unhappy with H2M, which would have brought back the multiplayer mode from 2009's Modern Warfare 2, being pulled. And, Backyard Sports announced they'll be coming back with a trailer. The owners of Backyard Sports, which includes titles like Backyard Baseball and Backyard Football, plan to bring back the gaming franchise and could possibly bring “Backyard” to new mediums as well. Presented by NHTSA.

Be A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: https://10xyou.us Get AIDAILY every weekday. Subscribe at https://aidaily.us --- In today's episode, Chris introduces the concept of H2M, which stands for Human-Human-Machine. Drawing a parallel to H2O (water), Chris explains that H2M is the combination of two "atoms" of humanity and one "atom" of machine. This represents the synergy between human creativity, the collective knowledge embedded in large language models, and the capabilities of AI. Chris breaks down the components of H2M: the first human atom is the creator or user who provides the prompts and initial input; the machine atom is the AI that processes and generates content; and the second human atom represents the vast repository of human-generated content within the AI's database. This combination enhances our creative output, making it a product of augmented humanity rather than pure machine output. He emphasizes that this collaboration with AI, using generative models, integrates humanity's collective knowledge, resulting in a new form of creation that surpasses traditional man-machine interactions. Chris highlights the ongoing integration of technology in our lives and how generative AI enriches this relationship by leveraging human creativity on a larger scale. Chris concludes by reflecting on the transformative potential of H2M, viewing it as a step towards a more advanced, interconnected future where human ingenuity is amplified through AI. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/support
Het jaar dat Osmium - de zwaarste podcast in het Nederlands - bijna fataal werd, is inmiddels zelf ook nagenoeg ten einde. Babbelaars Niels en Pim etaleren daarom traditiegetrouw hun eigen wansmaak via hun persoonlijke jaarlijstjes. Na ruim vier jaar podcasten zou je verwachten dat ze elkaars muzieksmaak door en door kennen, maar niets blijkt minder waar. Wie geniet bijvoorbeeld van lesbische country? Wie steekt een vurig pleidooi af voor dubstep? Wie luistert per ongeluk naar christelijke heavy metal? Wiens onderzoek staat in de nationale kranten? Al deze ontdekkingen worden gedaan in deze aflevering. Er blijkt ook bar weinig broederschap te zijn rond deze kerstdagen. Waar de één louter uitvoerig in Osmium besproken concertavonden bovenaan zijn lijstje met favoriete optredens zet, staat de ander hier geen seconde bij stil. Er wordt ook nog eens een luistertip verboden omdat die band de vierkwartsmaat niet zelf uitgevonden zou hebben. Het is kommer en kwel, maar zeuren blijkt toch een verbindende factor. Deze keer zijn de minachtende pretentie van festivalorganisatoren en verkwanselde nalatenschap van bands de klos. Om er zeker van te zijn dat er in de volgende aflevering ook genoeg te zeuren is, wordt opgeroepen om te stemmen voor de ZM Jaarlijst en om categorieën voor de Osmium Awards aan te dragen.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
What happens when a digital agency outgrows a partner? Do you sell the agency and part ways? Can you negotiate an agency partner buyout? It happens - partners drift apart or sometimes people simply want out. Dealing with a partner break-up doesn't have to impact your agency's growth if you don't want it to. In fact, you can negotiate a fair buyout by facing it head-on or by being proactive. It's a tough conversation but definitely one to have earlier than later. In today's episode, we'll cover: #1 source of digital agency leads. The best way to approach a bad partnership. 4 steps to an agency partner buyout. Today, I talked with Dan Altenbernd, Co-founder of H2M, which is his digital marketing agency in Fargo, Minnesota. Dan has over 18 years of experience in the industry, and he's been building brands in his hometown for years. Not only is Dan's agency booming, but he started it with one more partner than he has now. When his partner didn't have the same goals as him, they negotiated a buyout and he's on the show to share that wisdom. #1 Source of Digital Agency Leads We all know agency growth is both the biggest goal and the biggest barrier for most agencies. We all want to grow. And how do you grow? With a lead generation system that keeps your pipeline full. The lead war always seems to be between outbound and inbound. Should you be reaching out to them or should they be coming to you? And actually, I don't think there is one right answer -- in fact, I preached a 3-channel approach to lead generation. I've seen agencies win with outbound. And I've seen agencies win with inbound. Your agency needs both, as well as strategic partnerships, in order to stay successful. But, here's the thing — neither inbound nor outbound is the easiest source of leads. You know all of those relationships that you've been cultivating throughout your career? Those are an amazing source of leads. Former colleagues and co-workers are all low-hanging fruit. Many agency owners think they need 1,000 leads a day to grow big. You don't. You really only need a few. And your network can be those few leads that end up catapulting your agency into 7 figures. Dan says this is especially important for newer agencies with lean budgets. Rather than spending a ton on Facebook ads, get out there and leverage the connections you already have. Once you have your first few clients, you can start implementing other killer inbound strategies you've been thinking about. The Best Way to Approach a Bad Partnership There are plenty of agencies that have amazing partnerships that just work. But, let's be real. No one will always want exactly the same things as you at exactly the same time as you, right? Eventually, you or your partner will outgrow each other or the business. Maybe your partner doesn't have the same ambitions as you, has different views, or simply wants out. Then what? I always say, you either know the bad partner or you are the bad partner. But as Dan explained, it doesn't have to be an ugly break-up. You just need to have an honest conversation with your business partner. If you think you're headed in the wrong direction, let them know. Don't be scared to start the conversation. If a change needs to happen, rip off the band-aid, and get it done sooner than later for the sake of your business and your own well-being. 4 Steps to an Agency Partner Buyout Put it out there. Be upfront and honest with them. If you avoid the conversation for too long, it will be too difficult. It's better to face the confrontation and try to move forward. You might be surprised at the result! Dan simply pulled his partner into a room and told him it wasn't working - and his partner understood. Once it comes time to actually create the exit plan for your partner, hire an outside consultant to help mediate conversations and negotiations. Emotions and egos can get in the way of an agency partner buyout. You're both entrepreneurs and you're both going to want to win the negotiations. Allowing a third-party to make the deal is the best way to keep things amicable. Give your agency team time to process. Don't let your partnership break-up impact the team or get in the way of the great work you're doing. Communicate the new vision for the agency so the team knows and understands the direction and what things will look like without the partner. While you want to be direct with the conversation, don't be hasting with the exit plan. That way, there's plenty of time to phase one partner out without impacting agency processes. Dan's entire buyout took place over the course of 5 years!

Dan Altenbernd, COO and Partner of H2M, works with clients to align objectives with allocated marketing budgets. He estimates that 75% of his company's clients have never worked before with a marketing agency and 75% of his clients are from outside the Fargo area. His company provides key marketing strategy development and tactical deliverables based on a client's true needs. Faced with so many marketing “newbie” clients, H2M has a newbie on-boarding process to help clients feel comfortable, using in-depth conversations to discover the client's pain points, expectations, and objectives. H2M requires clients to define goals clearly and works with them to determine how effectiveness will be measured—not by views or click-throughs—but by proof of performance metrics such as growth percentages. The company strives to deliver intellectual property in a way that tangibly “answers the client's questions.” Proof of performance is almost a company mantra. In this interview, Dan speaks of due diligence as being critical for clients that are selecting their first agency—look at the work of agencies under consideration, randomly call clients listed on their websites, and find an agency with that will be comfortable to work with. H2M only works with clients with whom it is comfortable --without contracts! Trained as a graphic designer, Dan started his career setting type by code in a print shop, providing services as a graphic designer, and as a bartender/waiter . . . all at the same time. He fell into advertising as a traffic manager, scheduling and learning marketing operations. A couple of hops later, Dan ended up at H2M. Dan's partner, David Hanson, H2M's CEO, knows marketing strategy. Dan thrives on being out here, growing relationships, finding new opportunities, and understanding businesses and their challenges. The company's internal culture is focused on supporting employees, but also allowing broad autonomy, with open paid time off and untracked vacation time. What matters? Relationships and the consistent quality of the work—and not slacking off efforts for clients who “have been around a while.” Dan offers a few life lessons to ponder. He believes ego has no place in growing true relationships. He warns people and companies to “not believe your own press.” He emphasizes the importance of honesty and transparency in retaining clients, growing friends within the business, and promoting success. Dan can be reached on his company website at h2m.bizor by email at dan@h2m.biz.

Electric vehicles aren't just taking over our roads - they're taking over our orbits, too! Solar electric propulsion is a cutting edge technology that allows spacecraft to change velocity up to an order of magnitude more efficiently than traditional chemical rockets. Joe Cassady from Aerojet Rocketdyne and Explore Mars talks with us about how this propulsion works, it's power requirements, the development status, and how we'll use it to eventually send cargo to Mars in support of human exploration.
