Generative AI Avatars/Vibe Coding/Automated Newsroom

This will be a combined meeting of the Tech and Filmmaking Groups

AI Avatars: We've looked into a number of AI Video Generators, this time we'll look at some of the AI Video Avatar services like Synthesia, HeyGen, Hedra, LemonSlice, and others. These services are solving a different problem, realistic talking heads, than the more generic services so their focus and pricing is very different.

Vibe Coding: About 6000 Agentic Years ago, so about Febrary 2025, Andrej Karpathy coined the term Vibe Coding for his new approach to creating applications, turning the methodology on its head. We'll take a look at Vibe Coding and its strengths and weaknesses.

Automatic Newsroom: Then we'll take these two topics and bring them together to Vibe Code an Automated Newsroom. We'll Vibe Code some Agents to perform the work, and we'll see how easy it is to harness APIs and Frameworks using the method.
