Meta's AI Ambitions: A New Contender to ChatGPT on the Horizon

Hey Future DJ fam and tech enthusiasts,

Hold onto your headphones, because Meta is stepping into the AI ring to give ChatGPT a run for its money! The social media giant is reportedly working on a new AI language model that could be even more powerful than what we've seen so far. Let's dive into the deets. The plan is to unveil this new AI model by next year, and it's expected to surpass the capabilities of Meta's current commercial offering, Llama 2.

What's the Big Deal? 

This new AI system is envisioned to empower companies to develop services capable of generating sophisticated text, in-depth analysis, and various other types of outputs. It's not just about chatbots; this could revolutionize how we interact with technology across the board.

Automation - From managing bookings to customer service, a powerful AI could take care of the mundane tasks, letting you focus on the music.

Unlocking TikTok's Algorithm: A DJ's Guide to Going Viral

Ever wondered how to make your content go viral on TikTok? Well, the secret sauce is in understanding TikTok's algorithm. Let's break it down real quick and see how you can use this info to spice up your TikTok posts.

The Algorithm Unveiled

TikTok uses machine learning to evaluate the quality of every video uploaded. Your video first gets shown to a small number of users mixed in with popular videos. The algorithm then measures how much of your video is watched, and how many likes, comments, shares, and downloads it receives. The magic ratio seems to be 1 like for every 10 views to trigger the algorithm to show your video to more people. The algorithm loves engagement spikes. If your video suddenly gets 20% more likes in a single day, it'll be pushed out to a broader audience. So, timing and engagement are key!

Quick Tips for TikTok Posts

• Engage Early: Post when your audience is most active to get that initial burst of engagement.

• Quality Over Quantity: Make sure your video is high-quality and engaging from the get-go.

• Call to Action: Encourage likes, comments, and shares to boost your video's reach.

Understanding TikTok's algorithm can be your ticket to going viral. Use these insights to craft TikTok posts that not only showcase your DJ skills but also engage and expand your audience.
