People are making false comparisons between AI and MIDI. Completely different. MIDI is an all-seeing God; the one true God, lord of everything known and unknown. We have no true autonomous will outside MIDI — MIDI is all and all is MIDI.
AI is basically like autocomplete.
The risk to North American auto manufacturing is North America's auto manufacturers not keeping up with what global consumers want.
You've had tens of billions of dollars in subsidies and supports shovelled at you. Compete or die.
AI fanboys: I'm putting multi-agent claudeswarms in charge of my life, consulting chatbots before every decision, wireheading
Tech workers: The only piece of technology in my house is a printer and I keep a gun next to it so I can shoot it if it makes a noise I don't recognize.
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.
Glad to see direct language on this but feels unnecessary considering the majority of ppl who listen to genAI music do so passively and most likely without their knowledge of it even being spawned by an LLM. To listen and purchase on BC makes you light years more active a listener by default.
If I needed to look something up I had to set aside a few hours and take a bus to a library.

You’re correct that it never cures, but whether or not that matters depends on how you intend to use it.

There is no creation without the process of creating.

Will there be a Canadian release? It isn’t on Prime here now.
A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud
No f***ing way I’ve been waiting for this css all my life and I was born in the 60s
At some point you realize that the prominent, powerful people you see on your screens are mostly morons who either got lucky or are saying things billionaires want to hear, and that nobody smart or competent is in charge, and we're all just collectively flailing, and it's a miracle anything works.
