I know what you're thinking, we didn't know Netflix still did this! Well surprisingly, they still did! Netflix started out with the DVD rental by mail service and then got into the streaming service. Once streaming became so convenient, the physical DVD service lost major steam.
Netflix became the biggest movie/show streaming service in the world! Ted Sarandos, CEO of Netflix said that after twenty-five years, Netflix will stopping the Blu-Ray and DVD service. If you're still using your DVD player to watch movies from Netflix, don't panic just quite yet. You might want to brush up on your online streaming skills though, because you'll have until September to do so. September 29th to be exact. That's when the service will cease completely!
Since the birth of their streaming service, Netflix has gained about forty-million subscribers over the years. And if you're curious, the very first DVD Netflix ever shipped was "Beetlejuice". It was shipped to a subscriber on March 10th, 1998! For a total of nine years, they offered this service, until they added on streaming online with your at home DVD rental subscription.

What Star Wars Character Is Your Favorite NFL Team?
What Star Wars character do you think YOUR NFL team is?
Robots, AI, Chat GPT - there is no doubt about the fact that we are entering a brave new world of technology. It seems as if each day brings another technological innovation that will be amazing, and somewhat flawed, and change our world in both good and bad ways.
You hear more and more everyday about AI, or artificial intelligence. Scroll through TikTok and you will see dozens of videos promising to show you how to AI can help you make millions of dollars, be more efficient at work or even plan your vacation.
It's all very cool, and futuristic, and even Jetson-like. But I do believe if we're not careful, we'll all be replaced by new AI Overlords soon!
Chat GPT-4 actually did this list, and compared every single NFL team to a Star Wars character, and matched them up. Some of the results are really fun - and actually pretty dead on. Others, maybe not so much.
Again, keep in mind that a company called Fansided did this on Chat GPT-4, so it may have gotten certain details incorrect or some of its data might be out of date - because AI is still slightly flawed, and it probably will be for a while. Humans designed it, after all.
Chat GPT-4 is only "trained" through September of 2021. So for example, Chat GPT-4 doesn’t yet know that the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl this year, nor does it know of a lot of the changes that have taken place in the NFL over the last couple years. But it sure knows its Star Wars characters!
All of that said, the data it does have on NFL teams is pretty extensive. So they took a deep - and fun - dive in, and basically let a robot come up with the Star Wars character for your team. See what you think, and how accurate or inaccurate you think these comparisons are.
