Suzanne Vega releases “Luka” 39 years ago this weekend. She said she once received a fan letter about it: “Dear Suzanne, Luka is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard in a long time. There are no words 2 tell U all the things I feel when I hear it. I thank God 4 U, Prince”

Take away the bubble and we'd call the things AI can do "plug-ins." Some would use them, and others wouldn't, and some uses would be productive, and others would be foolish, but we wouldn't bet the economy on them, nor squander our last dribbles of potable water to cool their data centers. 23/
