Small businesses would become hyperspecialized, and industries would be spread across networks of small businesses - not all internal to a single big one. It can seem inefficient at first, but would like be much more resilient to supply cha

In the short term, probably. In the long term, probably not.

Totally. As I've commented elsewhere, they thought it would be a great time screwing over artists and other culture works to make quick bucks and outrun the law. Turns out that culture workers are a big chunk of who sets the narrative

As someone who simultaneously makes music professionally, and works in IT professionally, it has been really interesting watching GenAI unfold, and the diverging cultures around it. It is almost like the world is splitting into two "so

It is incredibly important for people to be aware that this is one of the few new technologies where older generations are far more optimistic than younger generations. Less than 1/5 of Gen Z are optimistic about it, and the number is

I am becoming more convinced that it is not Capitalism itself that is toxic, but Big Business. If (in some hypothetical way) businesses were capped at e.g. 15 staff - innovation would be slower, but it would be: - More sustainable - More lo

Totally. They are the only ones who said no to letting their tech being used for illegal use cases. This doesn't automatically make them the great virtuous team. It just means the rest of the pack are toxic as all hell.

1. So AI companies royally screwed over artists and other culture workers. 2. Culture workers are a big part of who sets the narrative for the general population - especially young people. 3. Less than 1/5 of Gen Z are optimistic about

https://strudel.cc has been the most intuitive music livecoding experience I've come across. In-line piano rolls and waveform visualizers, highlighting current notes - I love it. I'm currently halfway through making an

I should hope that if Zuckerberg isn't severely punished for this, it at least sets a legal precedent for every other person to do the same with immunity. All the Aaron Schwartzes of the future could freely share scientific papers with

I think this a great point though. It's always worth asking what the purpose of innovation is. The end goal should always be to help people and societies thrive and feel vitality. If the goal becomes speed for its own sake, it is going

I agree that copyright is foundationally wrong, but the way out has to be through a culture shift of people putting their work in Public Domain. It's not up to a private company to decide everyone else's work is public commons.

Honestly, the best use of AI I've found so far is also getting them to call me out on bullshit assumptions and logical fallacies. Helpful for the kind of thought exploration + planning that another human won't want to discuss at

I can tell you that myself (and many others) still create concept albums as our primary format. It's not that people aren't still creating it. The choice is still there for any listener that cares about albums as a format. I don&#

This. Super important. A pre-commitment means nothing unless you have the mechanisms in place to enforce it. A pre-sacrifice would be more effective.

100% agree. Any AI org that is that tied to a single nation's interest can only be detrimental in the long run. I know "open-source" AI has its own risks, but with e.g. DeepSeek, people in all countries benefit. Americans ben

Love what you're doing, but it is funny - I make a lot music in the style of GBA, and specifically bitcrush and downsample to bring in those audio artifacts. They add a lot of high frequencies that give it a great shimmer. Having said

Whenever I've trained clients in AI use, I've tried to strongly recommend using GenAI as a "Learning Accelerator" as opposed to a "Learning Replacement". GenAI can be incredibly helpful for speeding up the lear
