Advertise on podcast: Hurricane Dave Podcast

Welcome to the first official podcast of AI Influences Everything. I had the pleasure to participate for the third year in a row in the National Black AI Literacy Week. I did a presentation on base44 and n8n and a few other things, but as I was watching throughout the week, I tapped in on a conversation from the founder of GatherVerse, Christopher Lafayette. He's based deep in the Silicon Valley, and when he spoke, it was like magic to my ears. It was not an interview. It was an announcement on where we are with AI. He spoke with such sincerity and passion I knew I wanted this to be the first interview of the AI Influences Everything Podcast. Make sure to connect with Christopher on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopherlafayette/ You'll be glad you did.

There are always pros and cons to evolving technology. The artificial intelligence "evolution" shows no signs of slowing down. "Hurricane Dave" Smith and James Hicks talk about Intellectual property concerns with AI (think the fake Drake song). We'll also get into key tools in Dave's tech toolkit since he's an entrepreneur and content creator.

It's us against the algorithm, us against the machine. The social media platforms are not exposing your content to 100% of your fanbase. Most of the time, you're only reaching about 18% on a good day. We think it's time you harvest your followers onto a list that you control. That way, you can market to your Fanbase anytime you like. We're going to talk about how you can do that on this podcast.

A couple of young black record company executives decided to take a stance. They no longer want the barricades of being placed in the "Urban Music Department." I completely understand with the systematic racism in the world being exposed due to the murder of George Floyd I think these young executives are going to end up on the wrong side of history.
