  • What music streaming platform do you use?

    Jump

  • Trying to get away from corporate trash, so no more spotify or tidal for me. I am only trying to use :

    SomaFM, totally donation based radio, very nice for long listening drives or work

    Archive.org (AMAZING for so much stuff)

    Bandcamp (actually support artists, there has been talk of them enshittifying though)

    My own library of physical music.

    However, when I had tidal, it worked well. I like to support artists though especially in today's world.

  • do you hate AI generated art? why?

  • That's the problem. We can't tell the difference.

  • But look at it this way. In 5 years nobody will be able to tell the difference between an AI image or AI music (boomers already can't). So then what? When an art gallery prints a 30 ft tall AI image and people come look at it and how amazing it is, all while having no idea it was AI, what will be the point? The only art left will be live performance art, which could actually be a good thing in it's own way. But the "at home" artist who only publishes works online will be dead, because there will be no way to tell the difference.

  • I see this view a lot and I agree with it, but how can you argue with anyone who says well, that's what they said about synthesizers for music. Or ipads for art. Or computers replacing typewriters. Are you saying anyone who doesn't hand write a book in cursive while solely learning the djembe from a scroll is not a real artist ? (Obvious /s but it's kind of valid). Unfortunately we are the old man yelling at cloud, just 20 years too early. The future will laugh that there were AI detractors (in my opinion).

  • I never assumed you American!

    Also heavily into classic rock.

  • If you could reroute all the money spent globally on Generative AI right now to another single technological endeavor, what would it be?

    Jump

  • Question on this, how would you expect the millions of people that heat/cool their homes to get by? Or are you advocating for a return to caves ? Unless you're saying shut those down to build nuclear/solar/wind, which also takes a lot of dirty manufacturing to build. It's kind of a no-win with this many humans.

  • A Gun

    Jump

  • There's unfortunately no possible way for the government to solve this issue. They can't go door to door and take people guns. And people won't willingly give them up because then they are vulnerable to attack. It's sadly unsolvable. Higher regulations for new purchases would help but thathat doesn't stop all the existing weapons.

  • It's so crazy. Literally anyone can go to a store and buy one. I no joke saw a store the other day called "Dave's guns" and the logo was the American flag on a cross. Reminds me of a certain quote regarding facism.

    It's scary knowing everyone else has guns, however the good news is, everyone on the correct side of history can also buy them..

  • I'm going to take a wild stab and guess you listen to pop/rap? Understandable why you'd not like classical. I can't stomach any pop/rap save for a few 90s artists. Whenever I hear it its just gross and non musical to me (Deltron 3030 not included). Ive also never been into lyric focused music unless it has more than an annoying single bass note and 16th note hihats behind it. Classical is interesting for musicians, and it's proven in studies to be healthy for your mind. But yeah you don't have to like it!

  • Woke is anything they don't like. If they have to describe it, it's minorities and women having equal opportunities. Saying woke makes them sound like less of an asshole to people not willing to go beyond surface level conversations.

  • That's awesome ! My dad had a Renault back in the 70s air cooled...which is super weird for living in middle of nowhere. He overheated it eventually haha

  • I was very lucky in that I can repair most cars. It's a lot harder now. Before I had a real job, all my vehicles cost less than 3k. If you learn what to look for and to stay safe (brakes, tires) you shouldn't really be in danger with a used car. Now in an accident, some ass in a 30 foot tall dodge truck will kill you, but that's kind of unavoidable even if you're on the sidewalk

  • Stop buying new cars until they remove this bullshit. We can go 40 years with existing cars without buying a single new one.
