rich people telling me i have to know how to use AI or else ill be forgotten bro im not about to literally make myself stupider like google search has done

I wish I liked "Anatomy of a Fall" more than I did. (It felt like a waste of time because it never revealed or resolved anything, but I did learn a bit about the French court system!) Anyway, I appreciated how this song was used. So good. youtu.be/MQ6J4xHuMgc?...

On a related note, does anyone have experience with one of these? hackaday.com/2024/07/29/a...

The main way I interact with AI is trying to figure out which setting buried deep in the menus of the program I was already using was secretly switched to "AI-on" during the last update without my consent and flipping that switch back the other direction.

I used it for transcribing interviews. That was it.

why don't we replace the thing the computer is good at with an extremely expensive and slow and unreliable version of that? get on board!

Ruining another casual conversation by saying that generative AI is incredibly unreliable even for that one little thing you like to use it for

you can talk to it in natural language now

In possibly related news, I am watching "The Wire" start to finish for the second time...

Maybe Silicon Valley should wake up to the fact that a large number of us are treating built-in AI features the same way as we do computer viruses.

the whole 21st century is just going to be this over and over in bigger waves each time

I haven’t found a better analogy yet — whenever anyone casually drops they’re a heavy user of ChatGPT it hits me exactly like they just snuck into conversation that Scientology really helped them.

yikes :(

Louis Prima is amazing. Always come back to him. (I have to admit it was Martin Scorsese's movie soundtracks that really opened my ears to him...)

Also this mashup of "Take Five" with The Stranglers' "Golden Brown" works so well I have to imagine one inspired the other: youtu.be/2Qs1J612nZs?...

Don't y'all think this outlaw bit done got outta hand?

Gene Krupa, sheesh... youtu.be/u_E0UVNtJ9Y?...

Update: case dismissed!

Indeed. And a shoutout to Goodman trumpeter Louis Prima, who wrote it. Goodman groups are my favorite of the Big Band era. "Sing, Sing, Sing," so dynamic. "Moonglow" . . . . So mellow.

Just when you thought you'd seen it all

Gene Krupa, sheesh... youtu.be/u_E0UVNtJ9Y?...

This has pretty much the same chords (but different time signature) as: youtu.be/Qzb2VcBuA3U

I have no idea what to do with any of this information, but there you have it…

The sample of which came from a preset on an Omnichord: youtube.com/shorts/kn8oc...

Oh my gosh, this is real. I’ve already been a DDG user (mostly avoiding Google) for years. But this is now set as my home page. noai.duckduckgo.com

@robaburg.bsky.social thanks for your repost Rob!

Newer is not better in most cases... You'll never convince me this isn't one of the best pieces of music of all time.

Love them both🎵🎶

This Tuesday is just two Mondays in a trench coat. You can't fool me.

A bit on the nose, I'd say...

I don't think Hank done it this way...

The last thing you see before opening ChatGPT

Really wish people would internalize just this bit here more
