Honestly, the best use of AI I've found so far is also getting them to call me out on bullshit assumptions and logical fallacies. Helpful for the kind of thought exploration + planning that another human won't want to discuss at 6am.

Calibre lets you put non-Amazon eBooks on these very same devices. It made me start using my old Kindle again: https://calibre-ebook.com/

I can tell you that myself (and many others) still create concept albums as our primary format. It's not that people aren't still creating it.

The choice is still there for any listener that cares about albums as a format. I don't mean that in a negative way. I suspect that many people listen to both playlists of singles, and albums of their favourite artists, depending on mood.


This. Super important.

A pre-commitment means nothing unless you have the mechanisms in place to enforce it.

A pre-sacrifice would be more effective.


100% agree. Any AI org that is that tied to a single nation's interest can only be detrimental in the long run.

I know "open-source" AI has its own risks, but with e.g. DeepSeek, people in all countries benefit. Americans benefit from it equally.


Love what you're doing, but it is funny - I make a lot music in the style of GBA, and specifically bitcrush and downsample to bring in those audio artifacts. They add a lot of high frequencies that give it a great shimmer.

Having said that, there is definitely many use cases where GBA games would want to reduce that artifacting. Keep it up!


Whenever I've trained clients in AI use, I've tried to strongly recommend using GenAI as a "Learning Accelerator" as opposed to a "Learning Replacement".

GenAI can be incredibly helpful for speeding up the learning process, but the moment you start offloading comprehension, it starts eroding trust structures.


Beautiful!


I do AI trainings, and the framework I try to teach is "Using AI as a Learning Accelerator, not a Learning Replacement"

When this showed up in my YT recommendeds I think I played it on a loop the rest of the day.
