No one understands how anything works unless they actually do it. So every "exciting" new use case for AI only exists to make ignorant people think they somehow cracked the code of some field they couldn't successfully enter. (1/X)

Lately I’ve been really enjoying these abstract B&W images. They help quiet my mind, and they keep teaching me new things. I’ve upgraded my scanning process to get more detail from the negatives, and I’m very happy with where this work is heading. #blackandwhitephotography #bnw #fineartphotography

everyone should start a band. no one should start a generative a.i. music company

Tapescam is a lo-fi drive and tape emulation plug-in for iOS and macOS. I used the plug-in to give this track an 80s sound character. youtu.be/zTakg207NHI?... #tapescam #lofi #auv3 #lofibeats #boombap #beatmaking #80smusic

Tell us your birth year by sharing the cover of an album that was released the year you were born. Here are two:

A local record store sold 3 of my band’s records. I came in to collect my money. Bought 3 used records and left with a free zine. The clerk even recommended me a record based on my tastes. Ian Matthews IF YOU SAW THRO’ MY EYES. This is how it should be.

To make this album I taught myself mixing, graphic design, and how to play a bass. You really don’t need AI you just gotta keep at it. I taught myself social media promotion! I taught myself how to set up a newsletter! You can do it! I believe in you.

Brian Eno: Backwater - from his album, Before And After Science, released on this day in 1977 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rvci...

You know what the whole Suno AI debate reminds me of? Back in the day there was this digital sequencer/sampler called Tuareg - you could throw in a bunch of samples and mangle them to your heart's liking The difference? It was fun and no one forced you to use it

This is brilliant. Beautifully inspiring. Thank you, Tim!

if u don't know SWITCHED-ON BACH is insane because the Moog synth is monophonic. meaning every single note of every single chord in every song had to be overdubbed separately. she had to be extremely precise & meticulous to make that album work

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit this should not be controversial 🫠

This is very cool. Kudos to @wndfrm.bsky.social and @taylordeupree.bsky.social

I’m a printmaker/draughtsperson. I am inspired by structures - haunting remnants of industry, echoes of warfare, or architectural oddities that exist on the fringes of functionality, and often on the fringes of collective memory. I love to draw, whether it’s on paper, canvas or print plates. #art

My housemates were out the other day so I put Bush of Ghosts for a long-overdue listen. They came home, wrinkled their noses and said “what IS this?!?” and I turned it off. Now seeking new housemates. It’s a little complicated, because these two are my wife and daughter. But it needs to happen.

The bottom line is that the GOP absolutely cannot be trusted to deal with any societal problem. They lead with cruelty and focus exclusively on how to package private greed as public service.

After JVL’s Triad, we asked the Bulwark+ community what they are fighting for in this moment. This is what they told us.

I've had a number of people ask me about the making of my new album, "Forces, Reactions, Deflections" on @quietdetails.bsky.social so here's an extended interview with lots of intriguing photographs scannerdot.com/forces-react...
