Hey guys, my name is Dima and I'm a sound designer. I'm here to learn how to start make a content and find a clients. I love Jim Jarmusch's movies. I've never posted anything on Instagram or any other social media platforms, even on my personal accounts. That's why this feels like the biggest challenge to me. I'm glad to be here and have a nice week guys :)

For a while, I was really excited to create content for myself and my clients, but I ended up forgetting about my health. I just kept going and going. Meanwhile, I was neglecting my own time and rest because I wanted to deliver something great for my clients and my social media. ​What happened was that I couldn't properly develop the content for my clients or even my own scripts and projects. In other words, while I desperately wanted to produce more, the quality was poor. This impacted my projects, my finances, and my relationship with my team. My team couldn't fully trust me anymore because I wasn't delivering what they needed. And that was the red flag for me, truly. You can not work with someone you can't trust. Now, my solution was to take two steps back, breath in and admit: I was burned out. Now I'm taking baby steps, Day by Day, "creating" instead of only "producing". How do you folks deal with that?

I watched a video today about the new SeeDance 2, and I have to admit, it gave me a much-needed sense of perspective (and a bit of a sigh of relief). We often hear the noise about how technology is going to replace every ounce of human creativity in big-budget films. But what struck me was the gap between "generating a cool clip" and "sustaining a cinematic masterpiece." There’s a level of technical precision and, frankly, a soul that Hollywood requires which current AI just hasn't captured.

Usually content creators do not have proper weekends but anyways... Have a good one!

I just saw a report from Arijeta Lajka, a reporter for the New York Times. She highlighted how YouTube is recommending AI-generated videos to children and labeling them as "educational." We’re seeing elephants with five legs, cats that can cook, and cows hatching eggs: with calves emerging from them! She cited several specialists, from pedagogues to neuroscientists, who all shared the same concern: we simply don't have enough data to understand how AI-generated content will impact a child's learning process. I’m worried about this both as an uncle to three kids and as a content creator. What if, in the near future, children can't distinguish between AI hallucinations and reality? This isn't Luddite fear-mongering; it's a practical question: will they know that hams don't grow on "ham-trees"? Will they understand that cows are mammals and cannot hatch eggs? As creators, how do we face this? While a child might learn the alphabet through an AI video, the "collateral damage" (the small, foundational facts we take for granted) could be significant. I don't fear AI itself, but I do fear its long-term impact on information processing. We don't have the data yet, but I’ll certainly be keeping a close eye on it. 🕵️
