I got to fly my town’s firework’s show. I used an Avata 360 for wide shots, I flew it for the first few minutes and then parked it about 250 feet up and told my son to watch the batter in the RC2 while I flew the Avata 2 in the goggles. I think I may have forgotten to brighten the Avata 2 in my frustration to get it finished (this crashed DaVinci Resolve at least a dozen times) and there’s clearly some stitching problems but it’s just for fun and not a paid gig.

Wanted to zoom into the Avata 2 and then cut to its feed but I don’t know if I pulled that off, but it’s cool to see it from two perspectives. I may do a multi window cut or PiP overlay. The feedback I’ve gotten is that my freestyle is too busy. I tried to keep it light in the goofy 360 effects. Looking for feedback.

And if you can’t tell, when I first went up in the Avata 2 I didn’t realize I had no satellites and right when I was going to dive it locked me in normal mode so I included the goggles feed there.

Thoughts?

I chair a county Democratic Party, serve in my state party’s state committee, and I’m an elected member of a city council. I’ve been writing model bills to think of ways we can combat AI. Then I read the Pope’s encyclical and realized that he was providing very clear explanations of the ways AI use can present workers with a spiritual dilemma. The government should protect that. So I drafted an ordinance for my city recognizing 1st amendment protections for city workers who have a sincerely held religious or ethical conviction which the compulsory use of generative or agentic AI violates. I focused on those two and explicitly did not call out exemptions for assistive because assistive AI does not meet the spirit of the religious critique offered by the Pope.

I know it’s maybe a little whacky, but this could be one tool the people can use to slow the forced growth of AI. We can replace people slower if we give people the right to refuse to program their replacements.

I’d love to get some feedback and make this stronger.
