“We could have some kind of utopia where any kind of music you could imagine could be generated instantaneously—if you want to hear Lithuanian Metallica music, you’re going to just press a button,” Everett says. “But at the same time, if you have access to that, what does that mean for art?”
It means that recorded music loses almost all value.
It doesn’t affect live music at all. People are still going to see other people play bluegrass, rock and rock, and classical orchestral music.
It’s the end of the record industry, but not the end of records being made in traditional manners.
I’m not sure that I see what the problem is.
- jefurii 3y agoAs I understand the industry these days, musicians make their money touring and selling merchandise rather than their recordings, which mostly make money for the labels.

Why might they want all of that? Can’t say I have a good feeling about it. But it doesn’t sound like the business end is going to wane. It’s just going to become worse to operate in. Battle against “the algorithm”. Horrible.
