- This piece was eye opening for me. I wasn't previously aware of CFIUS. «This interagency body, chaired by the Treasury secretary, can simply stop overseas mergers and acquisitions of companies, purchases of real estate and even significant minority purchases of the stocks of a single company.»

- I see genres I have followed, similar to what you show, but specific genres I have explicitly followed, combined with releases and purchases from artists and friends I have followed. I find it pretty useful!

- Oh, yeah, if you're talking votes. Makes sense. I guess I was more thinking about the integrity of the fabric of society in general. 😂
- Isn't "music feed" (second tab on home page) what you want?
- «But imagine trying to explain CFIUS to a Fox news audience.» Isn't that kind of the task at hand though? How else do we defuse the bomb that is the Fox news audience, aside from educating them?

- Oh, it totally fooled me! But then I searched for purple California poppies and lo and behold, they do exist! Different shade of purple but still cool. Here’s some orange poppies from our place.
- I had no idea California poppies could be this color!

- Thing is, the NYTimes is on Trump’s side. Their rightward drift started a very long time ago.
- My grandfather was a computer scientist. An innovator in relational database technology, he was instrumental in the F-16 project. Which is to say that I have personal reasons for relating to Weizenbaum’s important and decades old message about the dangers of AI. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

- Here’s the deal: most of the lighting in my art makes 𝘯𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦. I just make it up as I go along. That’s why I need to do some good lighting studies every now and then - I can’t get away with this forever 😅 Which one do you like the most?
- Lovely studies! The contrast in #2 is delicious.

View full threadRather than claiming generative AI is a do anything black box, make it fit for a specific purpose and build the guardrails that will keep users safe by indicating the intended purpose and supporting/reinforcing it.
- But the companies in question are clearly incapable or unwilling to engage in an earnest product design process that starts from user needs and establishes insights from user research. They’d rather bullshit us about magic. Such a colossal waste of resources. Shameful.
- Simon, rather than a book about vibe coding, here’s an alternative idea that I’ll give to generative AI makers for free. Make a god damn product rather than a mere tech demo so that the billions of investment can actually be utilized for something useful by ordinary humans.

- I want a social media app that brings me updates from that other, saner, timeline. The alternate universe where Reagan never had a trickle down fever dream and Al Gore brought us nationwide high speed rail.

- Isn’t it strange? A medium consisting almost entirely of text, consumed by an audience that doesn’t read. Social media was a bad idea.
- I ignored these TESCREAL bozos for years because their ideology is laughable comic book villain bullshit, but jokes on me, somehow these losers grabbed the reins of power. It's easy to dismiss them as incompetent, because, well, they are. But that doesn't mean they aren't also incredibly dangerous

- This is just unbelievably outrageous and extremely dangerous but after decades of American complacency about privacy and surveillance, the risk will continue to be severely underestimated.

- That’s because Marc Andreessen is an overpaid idiot who also happens to be a cruel asshole. He never had two neurons to rub together and I’ll never understand why anyone gives him the time of day. I met him in the 90s when my wife worked with him and he was so thoroughly unimpressive.

- I love inside baseball. I like understanding how things work. The lack of transparency in our systems makes them less reliable, not moreso. But I do very much wish Musk had never learned about how the bureau of fiscal services handles payments from the Treasury.
- @nathantankus.bsky.social writes about this quite a bit. A good starting point: www.crisesnotes.com/musk-in-your...
- I miss the days when I said I worked on the internet and people interpreted that to mean I haven’t found a real job quite yet and I’m still growing up and finding my way. I think that was an appropriate attitude to have towards the internet back then, and it still is, now.

- There are many podcast production companies filled with pros. I bet some of those individuals inhabit the edges of your network. Those would be the types of folks I’d be seeking out for mentoring. I’d avoid the sales types and try to get advice from the do-ers.

- You probably know about the llllllll.co forum. Those folks have been on the “process is the point” trip for ages.
- A lovely thing about sample based workflows is that the same sample can be re-used in many processes. Some concatenative sampling tools have overlap with granular tools, and there are loopers, chromatic samplers, drum machines, etc etc etc, all can benefit from the same "compost".
- Increasingly, I find myself trying to rely on things Ableton can do in Ableton-y ways. I have a Push 2, and it's great. I love PTNSHIFT by the way.
- It's a shame that a few of these tools mention "AI" without explaining in much detail, because that can make it hard to know what they mean about how it works. Some of them are open source and "how it works" is quite visible, if desired.
- "Sound Similarity Search" is a feature of Ableton 12 that allows you to find samples that have characteristics similar to your current sample.

- Every sample that goes into and comes out of the process becomes “compost” for concatenative synthesis and audio similarity search and other semi-automated sample surfing techniques, also.
