You made me think of some of my favorite lines from LCD Soundsystem’s “Losing My Edge”: > I hear you're buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real. Y

I think the bigger concern should be around things like backing scores, soundtracks, and other instrumental music. Things that you might have paid a composer to do, or a local orchestra to perform, can be done by AI and a synth. This has si

A ton of these comments are cynical or defeatist. It’s like they think that music is already a dying art and this is the final nail in the coffin. There’s tons of amazing, wonderful music being made all the time, to a degree that is stagger

Maybe I’m in a weird bubble, but I know plenty of people who love music with a passion. We travel for concerts, we go to festivals with lots of other passionate music enjoyers, heck we have our own yearly get together that’s about playing m

I don’t think that’s how that works. If your depression “goes away” when you stop using Instagram, that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about that “wake up on a warm sunny day in a house with your loving family and feel like jumpi

To imagine these apps aren’t already doing such is a hard sell imo. Full disclosure: I’ve paid for several AI services so far, most in the realm of “virtual girlfriend” experiences, and they all generally are more than subpar. Mind you, I h

> “Fix the causes” How, exactly? Yes, some people experience depression as a symptom of something than can be addressed through various therapies, but what about people who just have it wired into their brains? How do we “fix” that?

Just to be a little picky, but if you want “convenient” then just stick with pure JS - it’s overly forgiving and simple. TypeScript is lovely and I much prefer it over JS, but having to type _everything_ is far from convenient imo

I don’t know about that - people in positions of wealth are fairly likely to shoplift. If you make $200k a year, why shoplift an $80 bottle of liquor? I would think the same holds true when considering your given scenario.
