Technologic. Technologic.

Yeah, he probably hoped it was a booty call, but is cool with waiting. The real test is how he behaves after having sex, if that’s something you both choose to do. Good luck and enjoy the ride!

I have to walk out of here alone

The words “Slop” and “Fascist”. At least for the 2024+ edition.

Of course it’s derivative, but just like any tool, the user plays a huge role in the output. You just work with it. It can do lots of things and it can’t do lots of things. Am I gonna sell anything I make with it? Probably not. I use it to help myself and to prototype things really fast.

No bad news for me because it doesn’t pertain to me. Sorry you can’t get AI to work for you. Keep trying! I’ve used AI to build things for me that are totally useful. I’m not selling anything. It’s a tool. It can build full web apps. I’m not talking SaaS. Just simple things. And I’ve learned along the way as well. It’s all about how you use it.

No, LLM’s CAN replace cognitive work. You don’t have to give up all your thinking to an LLM. Think about what you want. Create very specific instructions. Review the output. Challenge it. Refine. Ask questions. Make decisions. Teach it something. It’s a tool. It doesn’t have to replace your brain.

Calculators replace cognitive work. Are you anti-calculator?

I absolutely could not build a web app on my own from scratch and at this point in my life I do not have the time to learn how.

There’s absolutely no doubt that AI democratizes many capabilities that people otherwise would not possess, whether the output is “slop” or not. Sometimes you just want to quickly prototype something. Doesn’t have to be perfect. You can do that in minutes to hours. If you like it, pay somebody to do it right, or AI may even be able to do it right depending on the task.

No. There’s no way I could build a full web app on my own in under a day. AI enables me to do that. You’re basing your whole opinion about AI solely on how capitalism is leveraging it. There is a lot of great potential with AI. Medical fields. Non-profit space. The list goes on.

You can resist as much as you want but technology and big business are going to keep moving whether we like it or not. Unless we all decide to boycott, which we are too comfortable to do, there is no stopping capitalism. So yes, in much of the business world, if you don’t get comfortable with AI, you will fall behind.

That doesn’t mean you have to do anything with AI, tho. If you never learned to use a computer, or Excel, you fell behind in many business settings. Doesn’t mean you have to learn computers.

LLM’s are not the end all be all. There will be another big AI boom at some point in the future and if it’s derivative of LLM’s you may not have the experience to use the new tech as well as others who are well versed with AI. Isn’t good or bad. It’s just how you wanna live your life. Make a living in spaces that don’t require AI.

That’s crazy. In US? The 26K lb threshold seems arbitrary.

At what point do you need a commercial vehicle license?

Nice!

They meant a “little library” for the front of their house.

I mean, he selected the company to sell his practice to, so whatever fallout from that is on him, not you.

Technically volume and gain and compression are separate things but they are related. Mixing process is generally where you adjust volume or gain on individual tracks and you can apply compression on individual tracks as well. Compression generally acts as “glue” during the mastering process to bring levels of individual tracks closers together by applying it to the master track. Very high level explanation.

I’m not familiar with musicians having much input on the mastering process. Could be their decision to not be involved. Before mastering though is mixing and musicians have a say in that, but not always.

Genres generally get compressed or limited differently and especially over the times music has become more compressed and louder.

Sorry I didn’t answer your questions exactly.

I often find that once I get good at on old version of something I appreciate both the advances of the new thing and the simplicities of the old. Some things are so bleeding edge tech that the new is better in almost as ways, like drones. I got into flying during pandemic and would never prefer the old tech except maybe analog vs digital for specific use cases.
