We live in Dogtown!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyways, the genesis of words is often funny random, and unpredictable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Genesis of streettogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So anyways, similar story for myself\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I think it was the year 2010, I just graduated college at UCLA as an undergraduate in sociology, and this is the early days of Facebook and Twitter\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 And there was this guy on Twitter named @photojack and whenever he would post tweets related to photography in order to maximize the 140 character limit, he would post #togs\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I thought this was a good idea, and therefore whenever I posted anything street photograph related, I would just post it, #streettogs (taking the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153togs\u00e2\u20ac\u009d notion, and just adding the word street to it)\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc. I then use that as my moniker, whenever I would do a YouTube video\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Once again I started my YouTube channel in 2010, because it was literally the only place that you could upload videos to! And I would shoot random videos on the original GoPro, and just post them there! And therefore whenever I started a video I would say \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s up streettogs, this is ERIC KIM from the ERIC KIM street photography blog\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and this is essentially became my intro. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think the reason why motto, catchphrases, or introductions are important is when you do a video, a blog or a blog etc.\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 In order to just get the creative juices flowing, having some sort of introductory motto is very useful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also as an unintended consequence, the upside is because I always promote my blog, people would always google my blog! And this is the ultimate idea; you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mud ties directly off of your videos by putting in annoying advertisements\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 What you do is you intentionally use these free hosting platforms like YouTube, to promote your own website, your own blog, your own platform, Not some foreign third-party platform!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even now\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 YouTube reigns supreme, but, I feel a foreshadowing\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 That once chatGPT makes the video sora production thing live\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 This might be the undoing of YouTube?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we fast-forward a bit\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 \u00ef\u00bf\u00bcvideoGPT&#8211; I could easily predict a future in which he just opened up the ChatGPT app on your phone, and you just spit a few words of the type of video you would like to see, and within seconds, ChatGPT or video GPT will be able to produce a video exactly to your own liking! And the reason why this will be such a big deal is that you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to go through YouTube, and deal with annoying advertisements, or having to click through things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nobody likes ads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So YouTube currently has that premium thing, I think it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like 10 bucks or 15 bucks for the whole family. A good deal! Especially if your mom is addicted to youtube, and you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like her watching stupid advertisements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kids are not dumb\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Seneca is not. When he grows up, he will have zero interest in watching ad advertisements, as he has never watched television, YouTube, Disney Disney+ or Bluey in his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also the reason why I think the video GPT thing will be such a game changer is because when it creates the video\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Technically, you will be able to own it! No copyright is an insanely big deal\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I think people have not really really really understood how insanely innovative ChatGPT is that it produces text, With zero copyright infringement, which you could just post to your own blog, and boost its value!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Killing many birds with one stone \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even now, there is so many things I am curious about, and the great upside of ChatGPT is that I could kill many birds with one stone\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 First, fulfill my own curiosity about the subject, to my blog just in case other people are curious about it\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 And then it ends up getting indexed by Google and ChatGPT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyways, this is also my funny\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Instead of looking at sexy photos of sexy girls on your phone of real life human beings, maybe it is better more effective and interesting to produce your own pretty ladies, using ChatGPT DALL-E. Or better yet\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 If you really want to see pretty girls, go to the beach, go to the gym, and actually talk to them! Compliment them, chop it up with them, no desire to bed them, I think there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s actually something good for men to just talk to women, just for fun! \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One thing I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m very interested in is the etymology words, the origin\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 History etc. For example, Dogtown and the legendary Z boys\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Just finished watching the documentary produced in 2001, insanely interesting in terms of innovation, entrepreneurship, and something which has probably touched all of us as young adolescence and teenagers; the Genesis of skateboarding [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-629100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-posts"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=629100"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629100\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":629101,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629100\/revisions\/629101"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=629100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=629100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=629100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
