Would have been a song and dance routine if Victoria Valentine had been there

@@jacksugden8190 It happened to VV yesterday actually, I have uploaded the video of it.

Can we have one of these TV presenters in New Zealand. However, state controlled media is on its way out. Maybe a freelancer Sally.

Indeed. That's why I posted this. You'd be surprised the number of people who click 'Don't Like' on this actually, with quite some vehemence, YT have removed several of them. I think they must be expecting the camera to fall on her on something, but this isn't one of those videos. I just wanted to show a lady being the epitome of calm situation-handling. I do have another video up, of the camera shooting off into the ether, and Victoria Valentine scooting back to the desk to find another one, which IS kind of funny, mainly because the lady just looks at it going awry and goes, "Oh, hello."

@@paulmurphy4267 Yeah, Victoria is another great presenter. I normally watch this slot for my daily news since they are both great presenters who I find easy to follow & understand.

I should think so when theyre on 40/50k a year! Unless youre Laura Doomsberg of course, then you own the world!

Her aplombosity is of the highest order!

haha yess classic i just had to look it up to watch again watch?v=e6Y2uQn_wvc

Yes, the legendary Guy Goma: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a8d8fqiou7jRZ2w.html

This is what happens when you 'cheap out' and automate everything instead of hiring human beings to do these jobs.

Why do people think robots and automation is a new thing? Automation in radio goes back to the 1970s and robotic studio pedestals goes as far back to the start of the 1990s. Here in the U.S. when automation is done right, it's pretty reliable. The problem is when you have some shows manned and some shows automated vs. one or the other...then you run into problems.

@@utubethumbsup Street lights haven't been the same since they laid off all the gas lighters and used electricity. Oh wait, yes they have, and those people all got newer (better) jobs. If humanity followed your logic we'd still be subsistence farming.

@@utubethumbsup yeah cars suck because they always fail as well as computers all of them are completely useless

It's more to do with 'affirmative action' employment policy

Wow I did exactly the same thing.

Same.

The day will soon come when, before they log on, the robots will have to identify which of the boxes contains binary code, and then click a link confirming 'I Am Not A Human'

Quite easily I suspect. Those back rooms are horrendously complicated and busy places. If you've never made a mistake, taken your eye off something, pressed a wrong button, or NOT done something you should have... you're probably the ONLY one on the planet.

The cameras are AI controlled and follow a format basically.

@@MBM1117727 "AI controlled"? !!!! (barring the technical hiccup here)....Wanna enlighten us on what - EXACTLY(!!) - is going on with cameras in this situation that would make you think artificial intelligence is present?

@@ChrisM541 Well maybe AI isn't the right term, what I meant was they are automated, and follow a set of "instructions".

They have been able to run programmed moves for many years. These days it would be almost trivial to tell it “point in this direction and keep the person’s face centered here”

Now there’s a man on his toes 🎉

Thank you Paul, that's very kind. You would be surprised at the number of people who click 'Don't Like' on this actually, although I think the title tells them pretty clearly what is going to happen. I liked it for 2 reasons, 1, the BBC getting rid of all their staff and trusting the auto-pilot to control everything (we've all seen 'Airplane'!), and 2, the way Sally calmly handles it.

Hello paul are right ok that all fine and thank you for telling me those things.

Thank you, you're very kind.

Hello paul that is ok.

It must have been time well spent if you decided to spend even more of it by adding a comment? ;-)

@@Lectric_Blue please send me your unedited version. Many thanks!

@@alexanderv7702 A strange request? Have you ever edited one of your comments?

@@alexanderv7702 and you wasted 30 seconds more of it to writing this comment. And replying to the user above. I don't think you can blame anyone else but yourself here, Alex.

i just sharted. that's when you shit and fart at the same time.

Halo Marsha, terima kasih atas pesanmu. Pemahaman saya adalah bahwa 'dipicu' berarti 'tidak bahagia', dan saya minta maaf jika itu masalahnya - video itu hanyalah sesuatu yang saya lihat di berita TV yang membuat saya terhibur. Saya pikir kita tidak perlu lagi takut pada Skynet! Terang dan damai, dari Somerset hingga Bandung, Paul

​@@paulmurphy4267 he's joking lol

Yes Paul we must know

Hello Richard are right ok
