They’ve been calling us meatbags since at least 2003.

Because most people, including those implementing this shit, have no idea how LLMs work, or their limitations. I see it every day at my job. I have given up trying to patiently explain why they are having issues.

There’s no such thing as ‘everyone else is wrong’ when it comes to taste in art. I was just providing my viewpoint that was in agreement with Rick’s. I don’t think he even discussed compensation to artists in this video, he’s just talking about how much people value music today vs in years past.

There’s nothing wrong with enjoying mechanical music. I love some of it, in fact I’m currently on a big psytrance kick. But I agree with him that most of it coming out in the last 20 years is garbage. And it’s perfectly ok to disagree with that. I never said people suck if they like modern stuff. I just think it’s mostly shit. :)

Edit: fact is, most of the music coming out at ANY time is garbage, and always has been - we only remember the good stuff from the past because everybody forgot about all the other trash

I said my favorite music was made before I was born. It wasn’t “the stuff that came out when I was growing up is my favorite” which is what people keep replying with.

“Almost all my favorite music was made before I was born.”

I was a young person hating new music. RIF.

Don’t judge. He has a lot of layers to put on before he goes out in public.

Agreed, there are gems to be found. That’s why I said mostly.

You made up a lot of stuff in your head about me to get to your conclusion.

That was a long jump.

Me: “Reading the technology community will be safe before bed”

OP: “Nah.”

Almost all my favorite music was made before I was born. The rest was made mostly before the year 2000. And music has mostly been generic forgettable schlock since then. Rick’s analysis is spot on.

The problem is they don’t give a flying fuck what we think of them because they don’t have to and never will.

I use Cloudflare as my registrar and public DNS. And only for that. Sorry but they don’t get to peek at my network traffic.

Based on the mugshot I’m surprised the guy wasn’t the one that called.

Only break one law at a time.

Induction stoves are no joke. Had one in a ski condo I rented and it boiled water faster than I could grind the coffee beans! Threw my whole routine off!

How many recalls do they have to do before all profit from cybertruck sales has evaporated?

Haha, I work for one of Microsoft’s biggest customers and they still treat us like shit. Trust me they don’t do favors for anybody. They honestly do not care.

Linux is waiting for you. You know you want it.

Just wanted to say I was thoroughly entertained by your anecdote. Thanks for sharing!
