My optimistic outlook is that most of the musical spaces I reside in will likely shun or be immune to whatever norms develop regarding AI. I personally care deeply about the fact that the music I listen to is made deliberately and thoughtfully by a human being, and I like to think there are many others who feel the same way.

More cynically though, I’m worried about AI taking market share away from music “made by humans”. If this becomes the norm, maybe there just won’t be money in doing things the old fashioned way. Maybe the type of musicians I want to listen to would be discouraged from making music in this new climate.

Why bother making something new when perfection already exists?

Hey cool my home town is being talked about on the Internet :D

Oh…

Perfect, she’s just in time to see streaming services fully adopt cable tv business practices

You’re right I didn’t, and maybe I should have, but I would argue that it’s also just unhealthy for an article to have a title that’s completely antithetical to what it’s actually saying.

You mean the Scotus that overturned Roe v. Wade? No.

Costco has lines regardless of whether it’s self serve though

This is more of a meta thing, but relevant to a lot of comments I’m seeing here. Having an opinion about pineapple on pizza is the most uninteresting cultural phenomenon. I’ve spent the last 4 years on dating apps, and at least 1 in 3 people write in their bio about this “issue”. It’s not something that people truly have strong feelings about, it’s like straight men saying Ryan Reynolds is attractive, or people arguing over the definition of a sandwich. It’s an opinion that people hold as a proxy for being somebody with strong opinions.

Returnal, a rogue like 3rd person shooter (sort of bullet hell) with a scifi alien setting and a mindfuck story. It’s one of my favorite games I’ve played in years, both for the story and gameplay. I can’t recommend it enough.

If you’re familiar with the story of the first Last of Us game, Last of Us 2 is great and is centered around Ellie.

I struggle to see how any music made by people for the enjoyment of people isn’t art

It’s still just a tool for engineers though. Half of the job is determining what the design requirements are, another quarter is figuring out what general scheme (i.e. water vs air cooling) works best to meet those requirements. Things like this are great, but all they really do is effectively connect point A to point B in order to free up some man-hours for more high-level work.

There’s a guy at this maker-space I work out of who’s been using ChatGPT to do engineering work for him. There was some issue with residue being left in the parking lot on the pavement and came forward saying it had to do with “ChatGPT giving him a bad math number,” whatever the hell that means. This is also not the first time he’s said something like this, and its always hilarious.

I have really fond memories of waking up early at the beginning of summer vacation to watch E3 with a bowl of lucky charms. Even if it does get replaced I’m always going to miss it for nostalgic reasons.

And can that same person explain why social features are completely missing from the mobile app?

Can confirm, I’m half way through Wind Waker playing on my laptop with 0 issues.

Everything cracks under pressure, I’m not exactly sure what the above commenter is getting at. If the sub was steel the walls would be thinner. With titanium the walls are thicker. Without knowing the dimensions of the material we can’t know whether it was built to high enough standards.

So far the only people I know joining Kick are xQc, Train and Adin Ross… if that’s the kind of content they’re trying to curate early on I can say with 100% certainty that its not for me.

Also doesn’t help that they’re funded by a gambling company

What is a ‘private cause’ though? Because to me this feels like a very public issue. While it may seem like LGBT rights have only strengthened each year, there is currently an unprecedented level of effort being put towards disenfranchising and stifling queer and trans communities. Even if you’re not part of those communities yourself, it’s a near certainty that somebody you know and care about is. There’s a very large and diverse subset of the American populace who is being targeted by these anti-lgbt actions.

During the civil rights movement I would have had no problem with the white house flying a flag in solidarity with black Americans, and I don’t have a problem with them flying the pride flag now.

Disco Elysium!

Sick username. Is Catch 33 your favorite album?
