I think it’s harder to find the signal from the noise of sameness.

I used to be able to find interesting bands and artists by watching The Wedge on MuchMusic or listening to my local alternative radio station. Now those stations all play Top 40 and TV shows got replaced by algorithmically curated beige.

As much as I am complaining I’d love if somebody could recommend some useful sources for somebody who wants to navigate away from Apple Music and Spotify streaming land.

It totally did. I am old enough to remember laughing at Abe Simpson and now I am become!

I remember when modern music was interesting enough to want to pirate.

I eat meat, too.

In the same way as people can be okay or not with eating meat, I think it comes down to individual values.

LLMs have consequences to climate, labour, and (if you don’t disclose in some situations) how others perceive your creativity.

For me, I would have no problem asking and AI agent to speak to a colleagues AI agent to automatically find a mutually acceptable time for a call or meeting.

I would not use AI to compose a best man’s toast or funeral eulogy from scratch.

The quote about “I want AI to do my dishes and laundry so I have time for more creativity, I don’t want AI to do my creativity so I have more time to do dishes and laundry” applies to me.

It didn’t start grey but then I read the issues tracker.
