I use Youtube music (mostly because I watch a ton of youtube and no ads is nice) and they have a page for transferring (support.google.com/youtubemusic...). The page for premium looks different than the one without it, so looks like it's included in that.
I've also heard good things about Tidal

This tells me these folks don't know how LLMs work. LLMs don't *know* anything, they just reproduce text that looks like a plausible answer. That's it. They don't have ground truth or some way to actually "sift through information".

There were plenty of signs saying "Fuck trump" and as much as I love profanity and telling fascists where they can shove it, this sign was probably my favorite. Tell us how you really feel fellow angry person.

I have seen some absolutely unhinged things in job postings recently. This may take the cake.
If the company has *no employees* then what the hell are they posting on a job board for? Need a contractor to write AI prompts? Get an AI to do that too it'll be the same level of slop.

OSU finally sent their 'why we had to send cops and snipers after the protestors' message out to all students and I want to give all university admin some free advice:
When violating student rights by having them violently arrested, try not to use 'we have to clean the toilets more' as an excuse.
