Apple Music's interface must be the most confusing out of all streaming services. What do you mean, I can't navigate to the album by clicking on the title? I can't go there via the context menu either? iTunes still exists? Oh, it's the only way to navigate to the album?

Twitter has been so important for my career, but I stopped posting and eventually deleted my account because I didn't want my data in Musk's hands. Now it looks like I'll be leaving Telegram, too. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4411...

Be a better streamer: Playlists are full of 'fake artist' stock music (and soon AI) designed to lower streaming services' royalty payments. 🎧 Start listening to a playlist. ❤️ Find a song you like. 🕵 Determine whether the artist is a real person. ▶️ Listen to their albums instead of the playlist.

Agree, but surely there must be a more diplomatic way to phrase this, given that many of Ghost's customers probably fall in that group.

I just don't understand why CEOs have to formulate their "we're AI-first now" internal memos in such toxic, unempathic ways. I definitely expected better from some of them.

Disappointing, but you can get around it with third-party clients, like Deer, Ouranos, Skeets, and Skywalker. Which do you prefer?

On the one hand, I love that we can bring little speakers to the park... On the other hand, it breaks my heart that we'll never go back to parks being places of calm without amplified music. Or maybe it's just a Berlin thing. Idk.

Tried Perplexity Pro for a month, but the amount of hallucinations is wild. Reminds me of older ChatGPT models. Cancelled for now. I’m scared to work with it as a research tool for now.

Is it a valuable use of energy to create action figure images using a model trained on other people’s creative work? No. Is it valuable to learn about what these technologies can do by trying them out? I’d argue yes. open.substack.com/pub/calmfluf...

I find the AI optimism gap to be such an interesting phenomenon. The disparity among gender is worth noting here, too. www.pewresearch.org/internet/202...

Downgraded to the free version of ChatGPT recently... and HOLY SHIT, it's garbage compared to the premium version. No wonder most people don't see the point in using AI in their daily lives.

I hear a lot of complaints about Spotify's low per-stream rate. The solutions offered usually don't address the root of the problem. In this piece, I explain the issue at the heart of music streaming and what individual listeners can do: calmfluffy.substack.com/p/the-slow-s...

Now that Elon Musk's mask has come fully off, it surprises–and appals– me how normalised posting on X still is. If you wouldn't buy a Tesla, because of Elon, you shouldn't post on X, unless your livelihood depends on it, imo.
