@peretsky.bsky.social @lizpelly.bsky.social @criticallistening.bsky.social Hey guys have you ever heard of labels buying up popular playlists on Spotify? I got a guy that wants to buy my cousin's 160 000 subscriber Jock Rock playlist for 4000$... he claims to rep "a Sony label".

just fucking perfect
Measles was once considered eliminated in Canada, but not anymore — there have been more than 5,000 cases in the last 12 months as vaccination rates have fallen. Here's how they got there, and why other countries — including the U.S. and Mexico — are also at risk of losing their status.

Art is emotion through expression. AI does not think and it cannot feel. It is a program designed to scrounge the internet to pass things off as its own. All the while stealing jobs from real artists and soaking up drinking water.

Elon longs for dystopia. The end of art. The end of culture. The power of forming your own reality, brought to you by nihilist technocrats.
Musk thinks this version of the future is what people really want—fake content that caters to your desires—because he's so detached from humanity.
As he told Joe Rogan: "Most of what people consume in five or six years, maybe sooner than that, will be just AI-generated content. So music, videos..."

The ability to convince capital markets to hand you a trillion dollars on the strength of obvious bullshit paired with the inability to get a single human to sincerely and spontaneously say they love you is some real punishment of the gods shit.

Rogan, talking about Zohran Mamdani: "What else has he done that makes him a swindler?"
