Hey #BCNMI! Despite not releasing an album since 2020, The Strokes are still receiving coverage from media outlets beyond their works of art. This article deep dives into the guitars, amps, and pedals the band used during their peak in the early 2000s. https://t.co/uzmYAUbAGk

#BCNMI It looks like Amazon is trying disrupt the movie theater industry by buying AMC. Given the company's goal of releasing 12 to 15 original movies a year, it is reasonable to assume that AMC theaters could serve as a pivotal part of that plan. https://t.co/ZOUQCk3S7j

Hey #BCNMI! Disney has begun to layoff Hulu employees in an effort to create "a more effective, coordinated and streamlined approach" to business. We'll see how far they go with the layoffs . https://t.co/NKYernAbua

Hey #BCNMI! Known as a controversial figure, Disney has laid off high ranking chairman Ike Perlmutter from Marvel Studios. Not entirely Hulu centric, but shows Disney's attempt to shift gears and course correct with Iger back in the CEO seat. https://t.co/bKGiolTrFc

#BCNMI! We are already seeing ChatGPT break into unexpected industries. This makes it even more likely to be used in the creative ways we've discussed in class, like NPCs in video games or screen writers in the film industry. https://t.co/Ygf9xYWhEE

Hey #BCNMI! The Strokes' new collection of old singles is not available on CD. Given the height of these songs was in an era when CD was the only option, this really highlights how the band has adapted to the new era of music and has reinvented itself.

Hey #BCNMI! This article argues that films with almost no budget are the future of the industry. Given the domination of big budget movies like Avengers or Avatar, smaller, more creative ventures made for almost no money can reinvigorate the industry. https://t.co/AToZBF07QH

#BCNMI Music producer Bloodpop has announced a new gaming studio called Genpop Interactive which he hopes will revolutionize gaming. This seems like Digital Empire Building but I do not see how the combination will prove wildly successful https://t.co/Y2SBnEScHU

Hey #BCNMI! A new rock doc named after the classic Strokes song "Meet Me in the Bathroom" has been released. It details the changes in NYC rock in the early 2000s, an era which the Strokes put their stamp on the genre. https://t.co/MkBlUl2Qqu

#BCNMI Microsoft continues its strategy of keeping eyeballs on its product. By bringing its games to Nintendo consoles, Microsoft broadens its scope and makes itself more inclusive for new players and gamers. https://t.co/CcYR3UO9sO

Widely seen as the face of the band, Julian Casablancas is keeping his name relevant by working with fashion brands like Celine. If the band is not touring or releasing new music, this is a genius way to stay in the zeitgeist while having fun #BCNMI https://t.co/k7CbzgLRMc

Hey #BCNMI The Strokes have been announced as a headliner at Malaysia's Good Vibes Festival. Since the band is likely not keen on releasing new music, its a smart decision to make their live performances a rarity and capitalize on their fans attending https://t.co/xubi70bS6L

[Christopher Strohman @cstrohman23]

Hey #BCNMI! The Strokes were just announced as a headliner at London's All Points East festival. Given the band is getting older and may not be releasing any more albums, festivals are a great alternative and can expose new fans to their music. https://t.co/sQuSKOehaI

[Christopher Strohman @cstrohman23]

Last week marked the 20th anniversary of The Strokes' sophomore album 'Room on Fire.' As it marked a radical shift in early 2000s rock, the anniversary should garner an increase in streams and potentially an increase in merchandise sales too.

Hey #BCNMI! Game Pass is a great deal and Microsoft can either raise the subscription fee or delay the addition of games to the Pass. I think they will raise the fee - anyone can wait however long for a free game rather than pay $60 to $70 for one https://t.co/kwrSVHmpbP

[Christopher Strohman @cstrohman23]

Hey #BCNMI. Looks like the streaming wars may have begun to finally take a toll on Disney+. The company should potentially consider taking a page out of Netflix's book and restrict password sharing. I wonder what other significant changes are coming soon

Hey #BCNMI check out this article about how Google's new chatbot "Bard" made a factual error at a showcase. Obviously the stock dipped but I wonder what this holds for Google in the future. https://t.co/1XnKShQqqQ

Verizon is duplicity fooling customers by automatically enrolling them in a program which scans users' search history. Most of these users opted out of such a program and Verizon simply changed the name and enrolled them anyway.

This highlights even more bias in algorithms as this couple were set up to buy a house but were later rejected by a machine learning model which appeared to be making decisions that were influenced by the participant's race.
