    @CTPhipps1980 Well they did. They renamed him to Shazam a while back to avoid problems with Marvel I think.

    @Phenomm_ This movie could be really good, but that's still not gonna fix the many issues that DC has and the DCU as a whole. The fact that Clayface is getting a movie before Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Shazam, and other A-list heroes is a ****** crime

    @GENERALZOD1886 ...Current version of diana/ Lazarus planet final issue Diana, as she has the power of both herself and SHAZAM...and never lost said power as she was incapable of giving it back to Mary Marvel.

    SUPERGIRL is tracking around $125 million worldwide, below BLUE BEETLE, SHAZAM! FURY OF THE GODS, and 2015’s FANTASTIC FOUR. Audiences clearly rejected it. Which is odd, because it’s not bad. Milly Alcock works, it moves fast, and it’s a decent watch. So what went wrong? The release date hurt, sandwiched between TOY STORY 5 and MINIONS & MONSTERS, but that’s not the whole story. SUPERMAN was huge last year, and her cameo landed fine, yet it didn’t translate into interest. The real issue: people had no reason to care. Maybe MAN OF TOMORROW should’ve come first, build her alongside Superman before a solo film. Instead, DC gave her one cameo and hoped that was enough. It wasn’t. This might be what superhero fatigue actually is, not the genre, but characters audiences were never given a reason to invest in.

    @Itssan17 DC biggest issue is that they have never had a real plan for their superheros. They tried to copy and paste what Marvel did but Marvel evolved and found ways to appeal to the comic book fan and the casual fan and also make a good movie. DC hasn't been able to do that since The Dark Knight. The had a few hits like, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Shazam but allt hose films blew it with their audience by the sequel.

    @larrytooreaal You can just take a screenshot from the edit and send to any ai it’ll give you the answer , if there’s to be something like Shazam for movies it’ll neeed access to your screen , privacy issues would arise

    @parkerslawyer I won’t deny Diana is in need of content, but this is a terrible argument to make when Booster Gold has nothing to his name compared to Diana carrying a previous universe with Aquaman and Shazam, pretending Superman doesn’t exist outside of false promises with cameos.

    @Starseaman71 @FernKalm @JamesPrescott77 And yeah Aquaman and Shazam worked, that's been my point, BvS was bad, and fully because of Zack, but JL was worst, that became because of the studio interference, regardless of John's, the studio still did, and yet after 2 bad movies, those 2 were able to be received well and perform well. So clearly the issue wasn't Zack made a bad movie,he didn't make half a dozen worst **** that droped after JL

    @bekeestitches Everyone kept treating Shazam like the threat, when the real problem was the people manipulating the situation behind the scenes. 😭 The guy was fighting the wrong battle from the start. 💀

    @bekeestitches Everyone blamed Shazam, but the real problem was deeper. Misunderstanding, manipulation, and misplaced blame all along.

    I'll always stand by the fact that Blue Beetle was the best DC movie of that year. Shazam and Aquaman were totally forgettable at best, and The Flash had too many issues that ultimately held it back.

    before shazam, i used to find songs i heard by writing down wtvr lyrics i could make out, go home and google them to find the song. now when you search lyrics, the ai guess machine will tell you six irrelevant things and the song still won’t appear in the search results

  • jurlycat
    Jurly (@jurlycat) reported

    Smart TVs and smart monitors are getting cheaper partly because manufacturers are turning users into a source of advertising and data revenue. Some use ACR, basically Shazam for your screen. It fingerprints what appears on the display, including content from connected devices, and sends it to a server for identification and tracking. Apparently paying for the screen no longer makes you the customer.

    This COSOMA debate made me realize something… A thread 1/ While everyone is arguing about royalty payouts, I’m seeing something different. I’m seeing a system problem. And software problems are meant to be solved. 2/ If artists don’t fully trust how royalties are calculated… If the public doesn’t understand the monitoring system… If people keep asking where the numbers come from… That’s a transparency problem. Transparency is exactly what technology can improve. 3/ Imagine a platform that monitors radio and TV broadcasts in real time. Not guesses. Not spreadsheets passed around. Actual digital monitoring with an auditable trail. 4/ Imagine every song played being automatically detected using audio fingerprinting—similar to how Shazam recognizes music. Every play gets recorded. Every record has a timestamp. Every calculation can be traced. 5/ Now imagine every artist having their own dashboard. “My song played 287 times this month.” “These are the stations.” “These are the broadcasts.” “This is exactly how my royalty was calculated.” No mystery. Just data. 6/ The platform could also allow broadcasters to upload playlists digitally instead of relying only on manual submissions. Everything becomes faster. Everything becomes easier to audit. Everything becomes more transparent. 7/ And why stop there? Churches… Event organizers… Festivals… DJs… Could also submit licensed digital setlists. The more legitimate usage we capture, the fairer the royalty system becomes. 8/ This isn’t just a COSOMA solution. It’s a solution for every collective management organization across Africa that struggles with monitoring, reporting and royalty distribution. That’s a regional software market. 9/ This is the type of software Malawi can build. We don’t always have to import technology. Sometimes we should build the infrastructure ourselves. 10/ That’s why I’m putting this idea out there. I’m looking for partners who believe Malawi can build world-class technology. Investors. Government. COSOMA. Broadcasters. Let’s build it together. 11/ Imagine Malawi becoming the country that develops one of Africa’s most transparent copyright royalty systems. Not because we complained. Because we built the solution. 12/ Sometimes the biggest opportunities don’t come from asking, Why is the system like this? They come from asking, What if I built something better?

    4. Visual Intelligence point at anything, know everything. Press and hold the Camera Control button. Point your camera at anything. A plant: species identification and care instructions. A restaurant: reviews, hours, and menu. A sign in another language: instant translation. A product: price comparison and purchase links. A dog: breed identification. A building: historical information and architecture details. A math equation: solved. A business card: contact saved automatically. A food dish: calorie and nutrition estimate. This is Google Lens + ChatGPT + Shazam in one gesture. Built into the camera. No app needed. No typing. It also works on photos already in your Camera Roll. Open a screenshot. Activate Visual Intelligence. It reads and responds to whatever's in the image. Most owners have never held the Camera Control button for 2 seconds. The entire AI visual engine sits behind a long press nobody tries.

    @JovanHoward13 Crazy thing though for DC (and any superhero franchise for that matter), anyone can be casted for whatever role. I love The Rock, but he forgot he doesn't own that character like that. If they fix Shazam down the line, then so be it. I'll probs be in my 70s by then lol
