"Can...can...can....you...you...you....hear...hear...hear....me...me...me...me?????

 I went to a stand up comedy event held at the SAP Center in San Jose, California recently.  There was an immediate problem with the show that persisted for over an hour.  The various performers using a handheld microphone were unintelligible to the audience due to an uncommon amount of slapback echo.  Now, I know there should be rehearsal time and the setting of audio levels and testing that take place well before the public fills their seats.  Maybe this happened.  Maybe it didn't.  Another possible reason for the bad audio was that the SAP Center audio crew was filling in for the usual stand up tour's audio team.  I think I heard that excuse but I am not sure because the audio was all a difficult to understand wash of noise.

This is a VideoGPT video loosely based on that event.  lol.

Underground Dwelling Lute Lizards

 

I was in a weird frame of mind recently and wanted to try out the VideoGPT app to see what outlandish results I could get from using a text to video generating application.  What better topic than the conspiracy theory regarding a hidden race of cave dwelling lizards?  People have been reporting disturbing sightings of bipedal lizards, equal in size or taller than the average man's height.  There also is speculation that these odd beasts inhabit remote caves and otherwise lightly travelled areas.

Going with this knowledge in hand, I hallucinated a scenario where a cave explorer happens upon a race of underground cavern dwelling lizard men that embody a lute playing orchestra.  Very random story kernel, I know, but watch the results and see.  The thing is that these appear to be lizards that are more in favor of strumming mandolins and guitars.  Go figure....AI!
