I did say “perhaps”.
The way art/music is made prrhaps becomes more important than the art/music.
There is much more uncharted territory there than in the final product now that most taboos are removed and even unskilled people have been able to realise visions from their bedroom.
Campbell’s got advertising and credit.
An artist and a muse. Same as it ever was.
AI could not have predicted that Andy’s work would be popular. AI would not have come up with it.
As a digital artist, you can produce time-lapse videos while AI cannot.
Perhaps process will become more important than product. In fact process is indeed where the progress is IMO (even in music).
Depriving live electronic musicians and DJ’s who are actually talented.
The reality is that the audience doesn’t care. If they knew how to detect the difference, they might but the music is only a small part of the overall clubbing experience anyhow despite being loud.
Reminds me of the way that many DJ’s do little more than press play. The “brand-name” of the “artist” becomes more important than the art.
If the public’s appreciation of art is dumbed down, then it is logical for art to be dumbed down too.
Unless it is a tax scam.
Proton always works for me. I use it to get around geo blocking.
I used Notebook LM to create a ten minute podcast but it took a lot of repeated attempts with tweaks of the prompt to make sure there was no stupid mispronouncing. Even the final product required editing out two words which were not even human (just glitches).
Not understanding pronunciation of words is to be expected, especially when they are acronyms but sometimes it was really dumb grammar.
Still very impressive but not quite there yet.
The pound hit its highest level against the dollar since
NovemberOctober.
The Guardian are so hopeless with science that they cannot read a simple graph. I generally like their reporting but they really need a science sub-editor already.

Someone did interact in the meantime. I don’t have SimpleX installed currently in order to generate an invite to send to Messenger.
Exactly. You want my original github submission URL or is it best to send afresh?
Good point re first one.
Second one is a problem for most people. They just click on a link and expect it to work. They would have to figure out themselves what the workaround is because SimpleX says something like “bad invite” or “bad link”.
And even if I told them what to do, they don’t even know it is possible to copy, paste, edit, hit return.
I have about 30 activists using Signal whom I would like to migrate to SimpleX. I didn’t want to handhold each of them. I think you are overestimating general computer literacy out there.
Similarly I would like to migrate over 600 of them from Facebook into our own group in Lemmy however they are older people and a third of them have enough problems signing up to and navigating Facebook.
Adding to my frustration is their English illiteracy. “more than half of Americans between the ages of 16 and 74 (54%) read below the equivalent of a sixth- grade level.”
Just pay a professional sign writer or beautiful artist to paint sometime classy denouncing Elon (instead of a sticker which will peel off and damage the car).
SimpleX is not easy to setup either. There are two flaws I pointed out on GitHub over a year ago which have been ignored:
FLAW #1
Scanning a QR code invite with your camera app does not work. It has to be scanned AFTER you install SimpleX using the camera function of SimpleX.
FLAW #2
Clicking on an invite received in Messenger confuses Signal because Messenger appends a question mark and some tracking code rubbish. SimpleX could easily strip the rubbish but it doesn’t. It simply fails.
Simple ❌
And SinpleX is better than Signal because it uses the same engine but does not require your phone number.
Downside is that some of the signup options glitch and will put off non tech people.
In Croatian (and I suspect many other Slavic languages) art is umjetnost which is a variation of the word umjetno which means artificial.
without addressing the actual reasons and events that led up to it
Then it would need to include Palestinians starting war against Israel then losing a disproportionate number of citizens then always repeating the failed attacks expecting a different result? There is a word for that.
Most of the Jewish population of Israel are those fleeing persecution from Muslim nations (not from Europe as is commonly believed).
The only persecution of Gazans in the few years leading up to Oct 7 was the border checks since they have imported munitions in the past which they attacked Israel with.
How far back in history do you want to go in a 90 minute documentary about the Nova massacre? It doesn’t actually matter now regardless of what each side says: Jews ain’t going anywhere and neither are the Arabs. A two-state solution is the only option.
In this case, totally worth it because it is exposure without giving away the product itself for free (just like all advertising).
That is not what happens to artists and musicians when they get paid with exposure.
