The data's from Google (via their new WeatherNext 2 model) -- as I understand it they get their raw data from NOAA/NWS but their forecasting model is different. I'll see about using the NWS API for US locations.
I was holding a free screening of a short film I made, and as an alternative to Eventbrite and the like, I built a simple SMS-based ticket reservation system that used GPT-4 to read and respond to messages. People interested in attending would text a number and their messages were routed by Twilio to my Node.js app, which in turn sent them to GPT to generate a response. The LLM was instructed to provide a structured JSON of each reservation once the person gave their name and the number of the seats they wanted. Worked very smoothly and only took an afternoon to build. Would've been infinitely more tedious if I had to worry about parsing messages with my own code.
"Broadcast" in this context means over-the-air terrestrial television, i.e. free networks like NBC, ABC and CBS. Sci-Fi (now Syfy) is a cable channel and writers have historically been paid less for cable shows.
