Now playing: Peaches - 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑷𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒔
Her most recognized song was recorded at The Rivoli, Toronto, Ontario, July 19, 1999. She paid the sound engineer at the venue 5$ for a recording of the show. She mused “what if I didn’t have 5$ in my pocket?” She’s said she won’t record it again.

The push to maximize productivity is at the heart of the current rush to adopt AI, writes Tech Policy Press fellow Eryk Salvaggio, but that doesn’t mean it’s useful. “On a social scale, productivity gains that don’t lead to pay raises, or lead to layoffs, are not productivity gains at all.”
