Childish or no, anti-AI sentiment is ubiquitous and growing. From a PR perspective there’s a lot to gain in the short term by picking the “anti-AI” lane. And you can always change your mind later.

It accuses him of presiding over “a shitshow”, and basically seems to imply he’s a greedy narcissist. So, yes, I find that line laughably disingenuous.

I mean you can outsource it to users, which also allows you to organically make exceptions for AI music that is actually popular. You really just want your users, who hate AI, to see a big "REPORT AI" button they can click. The pr

> That seems pretty uncommon to me, for most people. The most popular musicians in the world are basically celebrity characters, with the music as a key ingredient, not the only one. Do Taylor Swift fans or Kanye fans or [musician] fans

I think a lot of songs about bad break-ups were written by talented musicians without actual experience of a bad break-up, riffing on the corpus of songs they'd heard about bad break-ups. Like, a lot of times you're just engaging

Because then the coffee shop has to curate it or the band needs to market to the coffee shop. Incentives are mismatched here - the indie band benefits from being noticed and sought out, the coffee shop wants to set a vibe without distractin

I agree with the other poster. I think it's very difficult to guide this missile so that it blows up AI-generated music and doesn't blow up EDM. My own taste in music is pretty junk-food-y I guess. Electronic music and not the pre

That seems like a hard line to draw for EDM, which I suppose, plenty of people have indeed refused to class as "human-made" over the years. You'd probably need to be more generally back-to-basics (instruments-only, no EDM).

The more cynical way to put it is "artists are cool and people want to suck up to them".

Yeah, the iPhone camera was what got me to relent to my wife's pressure to move over from Android. That and Apple Watch integration.

A high-school teacher I'm friends with observed that her students all use ChatGPT, but will also scold her if they observe her using it, which she does, to save time.

My wife works at a big tech contracting company and they definitely make sales (and purchases) this way.

I don't really agree with your framing. Something like Amazon is a partnership between the capital class and, to zeroth-order, everybody else, to screw over a small slice of the proletariat (their own employees and retail / wareho

The right 15 seconds of video can be extremely helpful with household tasks. I'm thinking specifically of super-tactile ones like getting such-and-such panel off the car or appliance so that you can get at the bit you're looking t

If you were remote and LCOL or MCOL you've also made significant inroads towards retirement after just a couple years at Meta. Like, you can go be a middle school teacher and probably be fine if you stuffed the sack while the stuffin

I'm a Spacemacs user, and I just tried to update all my packages and my emacs is now somehow broken. Luckily I only did that one one of my two work machines so I will just do without the mac until I have the time to unfuck it.

In the US I have noticed a huge quality gap between chain locations in the suburbs (pretty good) and in the city (abominable). I don't think this is true in "glamor" cities, but in Baltimore where I live every Chipotle locati

That's definitely the case for my wife. She lives in terror of being grossed out or impatient, or our children complaining. Her favorite places are ones where she didn't have to wait, never wondered whether we'd been forgotte

I don't think this is true at all, if anything, the tone is "c'mon, guys, you're better than this".

In particular, GP's version reads as introducing a defense of "AI companies", and this piece is not that . To the extent that the article has a political thesis (the author was pretty careful to avoid one), I think it's

He's also implying that the original Guardian article missed the significance of the detail - indeed, this alleged inattention from mainstream media sources is part of the justification for writing the piece at all.

I disagree, I thought it was well-written. Its' greater sin in my view was attempting to present simple pedantry as politically relevant. The literary criticism I found enjoyable, convincing, and devoid of actionable political insight.
