"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Wildly disrespectful to any artist that ever lived. I'm all up for sharing alternatives that are good/better towards actual artists. Still evaluating my choices, but meanwhile this seems like the only and rather easy signal the streaming community can give as to spread the word if they agree (next to stopping your own subscription).

No, I’m paying artists directly. When I go to a show, if I get the chance to meet the performers, I palm them fifty bucks.

I buy physical media. I buy downloads from their stores.

I’m deeply confused how you think I’m supporting Spotify. That’s only immediately above pirating stuff, and that’s only just barely above punching the bassist and stealing their shit.

I think you may want to pass your eyes over my comment again so that you can understand what it means.

Although I think if I punched Kid Rock and stole his microphone, I’d be given a Nobel Peace Prize in music.

woaw you are super moral and awesome dude, good for you! I'm just hating on spotify, so if you're not defending spotify, I don't really mind if you yell at me for pirating all my music. I'm not gonna stop and I will never stop encouraging people from pirating EVERYTHING.

Thank you, I do try to support the music I like, because I want to see more of it.

I appreciate your genuine and heartfelt sincere support, and I hope you join me in helping good artists thrive.
