Feeds or Feelings? How AI is Changing the way we use Social Media
by Sophia Goga
Social media started as just a way to communicate with friends, but it has now become an all-in-one powerhouse. These platforms are now functioning as search engines, providing instant answers to any question at any time. The biggest development of all? The integration of artificial intelligence. AI puts the world at your fingertips with just one click.
EVENT
Mountainfilm + Fly Fishing Film Tour Recap
Last week, we had the absolute pleasure of co-hosting the 2nd Annual Outdoor Film Festival Series with our friends at Great Outdoor Provision Co. A huge thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate independent adventure films with us over two incredible nights at the Rialto Theater.
The series featured Mountainfilm on Tour on Wednesday night and the Fly Fishing Film Tour on Thursday night. Both nights were packed with laughter, high-fives, maybe even a few tearsβbut most importantly, an all-around amazing time.
Weβd be remiss if we didnβt give a special shoutout to our pal Ben Knight, who joined us for a special screening of A Thousand Casts. Having him in the house made an already unforgettable event even more special.
Weβre grateful for the continued success of this festival and canβt wait to bring it back next year! See you then!
