4. Accuse everyone else in his administration of elder abuse

So none then?

Both fit in the same category of unfortunately necessary and terrible goods…so the merger makes sense to me.

I think the same about the story of seasons games.

Did it not at some point?

Yup, just like how wage theft is an order of magnitude or two bigger problem than petty theft and shoplifting, but they just ignore it or even worse legalize / normalize it.

I use https://www.albumoftheyear.org/ and I subscribe to pitchfork and the rolling stone in my RSS feed.

I also Shazam when I’m out and hear something I like.

Same but I have a huge collection of digital media.

Eh, I switched back to running my own server like five years ago. Sure, technically I’m not giving individual artists their $0.0005 a stream, but nowadays I discover more music, attend more shows, and buy more merch.

During the couple of years I spent streaming, I discovered like Alvvays and Yumi Zouma. Nowadays, I discover new bands monthly if not weekly.

Like AI, streaming recommendation engines are mediocrity machines. All they can do is find you things that sound like the things you already listen to. Sometimes, if you’re adventurous, you find things you love that sound unlike anything else you listen to. If you find a great thing like that, it can change you. Unlike recommendation engine music, which will try to keep you the same forever.

Shit provided me a social life in my teens. I still think of those guys sometimes.

Yeah, but they have tied AI to LLMs. If the investors that inflated this bubble sour on LLMs, the investments for AI more broadly speaking will probably dry up with it.

That all depends upon if they keep throwing dollars into the furnace to run the models.

“Useful” stuff will have to do an evaluation once they’re paying the true cost for these things as well, because most people are not running their own models…this shit is more centralized then even regular cloud computing.

They don’t.

Corporate always chickens out

And the worst part is even if it succeeds you’re still running Windows.

They’re easily conned and they love yes men.

I’ve never heard of this jackass nor his shitty software. I feel privileged.

They always said the future of US employment was the service economy.
