I’ve been quoted saying this before but it’s still a worthwhile thing to think about.

β€œI automate whatever can be automated to be freer to focus on those aspects of music that can't be automated. The challenge is to figure out which is which."

That doesn’t only pertain to music.

Legendary composer Laurie Spiegel on the difference between algorithmic music and β€˜AI’ Music Mouse is back for its 40th anniversary.

β€œIt’s pretty easy by now to use computers to generate music-like material that is not actually the expression of an individual human being. Music is a fundamental human experience.” @terrenceobrien.bsky.social interviews @lauriespiegel.bsky.social

Write your Congress people to insist that ICE stop having quotas.

Quotas are what pressure ICE members to do illegal stuff.

They should only go after people for whom warrants were issued after due process, not because they have to grab anyone they can to make their quota.

Write to your reps.

Laurie Spiegel's reflections on the 70s and earlier decades, recorded in 2014, offer some clues, even for a very different time today.

Thinking across 1970s, 2010s, and now - physical spaces (Beirut, Praha, Portland) and online ones:

You need to differentiate between generative software that harvests data without the data creators’ permission, generative software that only uses data with permission (including licensing & paying for it) and old fashioned rule-based generative software that doesn’t use external data at all.
