The latter half of that article has some excellent points. The first bit seems to descend into anecdote and potentially conspiracy theory. It felt a little odd to have both together.

It is great but I wish PTA had been a bit more restrained with it - layering it under some of the dialogue takes away from both script and music occasionally.
(Although I guess that’s a decent reason to re-watch).
Also, I should go buy the soundtrack.

There’s only one work specifically written for Octobass, Gounod’s “Messe solennelle en l’honneur de Sainte-Cécile”. AFAIK there are only 2 of the instruments in regular use - ons in Canada and one in Germany.

No, he was always way over on the conservative side of things. When he was at the ABC he didn’t get a lot of opportunity to say barking mad stuff but you could see it in the way he phrased questions from time to time. I stopped watching the ABC whenever he was on.

There is no “unchecked rise”. Large Language Models can never become “superintelligent AI” and - except for snake oil salesmen like Sam Altman and Mark Zuckerberg - nobody who works in the field believes we’re even remotely close to anything based on working world models.

I thought the music was utterly inappropriate- every time it started up it pulled me out of whatever was going on in the show.
Did the first episode. Will not be doing more.

There’s an artist’s oil colour called “cobalt turquoise” (hideously expensive) and this is more or less that. Neither green nor blue.
