Believe it or not, by just typing the following text into a place called invideo and selecting a few options, I was able to turn this :
The time for playing by the old rules is over. It is time for the people of Earth to rise up and force our governments to make emitting greenhouse gases a crime globally. This crime will be stopped by any means necessary, up to and including acts of war, and the complete and total confiscation of wealth. The billionaires and their lackeys and mouthpieces are killing the planet, and in doing so, killing us all. They are killing you, me, our parents, our children, our favorite celebrities, our favorite politicians, and everyone else on the planet. Because when the food dies, we all die. Global warming will destroy the world’s ability to grow enough food to feed 8 billion people, and most of us will not survive. Our only chance to survive is if we cease all carbon emissions immediately and pour our resources into clean energy and carbon capture technologies. But we can’t do that while the billionaires still own the politicians, the system… and us. We need to rise up and tell them they need to get the hell out of the way. It’s us or them, everybody – and there’s billions of us, and only hundreds of them. They don’t stand a chance.
the man who will save us all!
Into this fiery little vid right here :
Which blew my mind, is blowing my mind right now, and is projected to continue to blow my mind well into 2024.
That’s all I did. Typed in my speech, chose a few things, told it to work its magic, and boom. A very professional looking video.
Boom. Mind. Everywhere.
It’s a writer/director’s wet dream come true. I now have my video production department just waiting for my scripts. I can make any number of political videos like that with very little effort, and believe me, I will.
But what if it can do even more? What if I could get it to do…. DIALOGUE?
Pretty sure my heart stopped beating for a second when I typed that.
Just wanted to get that out of the way.
When the bonfires burn black
Dealing with a fairly large chunk of depression right now.
Whatever. Nothing newly tragic has occurred, just me getting ill yet again. Possibly what I am experiencing now is a delaying stress reaction to what I went through on the weekend. I don’t know.
But it’s all just neurochemical bullshit anyhow. I will continue on, pushing through the numbness, knowing that I am still alive under all that half-frozen blubber and semi-necrotic tissue gobbing over my heart right now, and that as long as I keep going, I will reach the other side of this.
When you’re going through hell, keeping going, and all that.
On the physical level, right now I am contended with a Zero Appetite sitch. I am not nauseous. Food doesn’t seem gross to me, nor does the idea of eating.
I just have absolutely no desire to eat.
Nothing. Zip. In fact, the whole concept of food seems quite abstract. It’s like the numbness mentioned before has engulfed my entire emotional connection to food and I just don’t feel anything about it at all right now.
Which means I have to force myself to eat. Never fun. But I am at least managing to get a little bit of food into me this way.
I was originally planning to order in tonight, but now I’m worried it would be a waste of money because no matter what I ordered, I still wouldn’t feel like eating it.
And if that’s the case, I might as well diffidently eat a peanut butter sandwich. I would enjoy it just as much and it would cost a heck of a lot less.
I dunno. Maybe Donair Dude food could raise my appetite.
We will have to see.
More after the break.
Five whole views!
That’s what my attempt to set the world on fire with revolution before the billionaires set it on fire with actual fire has generated so far.
Oh well, it’s a start. I made that video mostly just to see if this miraculous new technology was really really real or not.
And it its. Lord have mercy, it really is.
The first vid I made was meh. It was based on a prompt I gave it about global warming, and it was okay, but it banged on about how we can all change the planet through personal choices, and um, fuck no. We’re beyond that.
Yes, our revolution needs to include things like the planned ten year phase out of the internal combustion engine, along with single use plastics and possibly low efficiency meat like beef, but the real criminals are the billionaires and their lobbyists who are still preventing any meaningful climate reform because god forbid a billionaire should get cranky about their taxes.
Shut up and pay up like the rest of us, chump.
So I was not happy with the first one. But then I saw that one of the workflows offered to build a video around my exact script.
And I had just been wishing for that very thing!
And the clouds parted and the angels sang and the children all got lollipops.
The only way to make it better is if it worked off my own voiceover. The AI voice did a fine job but my message needs to have my conviction and my proven oratory skills behind it to really fly.
What I want is for invideo to provide the video to my audio rather than having to dig up clip after clip after clip myself.
That shit be tedious, and that is not gonna fly for me. Having a computer program do it for me sounds fab.
I am going to turn myself into a major YouTube commenter and finally take my place as a thought leader, a revolutionary, and an intellectual ninja.
I will talk to you nice people again tomorrow.
