I love Artists. I love Artists. I love Artists so much. These "creatives", these "critics", they're all on thin ice. I don't care what they have to say. You emerged when it was safe. You took the safe little scraps of Artists who got burned and beaten before you and repackaged it

Label looked at your catalogue... offered you a deal that was less risky. You said no... they don't believe in your talent. You want 3X what they offered. They looked at the situation and wanted to back off... an A&R that believed in your talent said he knows you are worth it and

irrationality is extremely powerful when harnessed!

better click that midi in for 5 hours straight! when it clicked it clicked though, you'd get timeless melodies

something interesting is happening in the electrical engineering space. software engineers unilaterally solved software engineering with AI, and as a result are moving to electrical engineering. when they reach the EE world SWEs are like this:

yet another instance of people forgetting that music is literally mathematical. pitch is frequency ratios. rhythm is subdivision, harmony is integer relationships. it is art, yes, and it is also not exempt from being findable, as art can & should be, whether it is human or ai.

I'm still ahead of SOTA because I still have to implement a hadamard feedback matrix by hand. I simply could not do this if my reading/math wasn't also there

both sides of the AI-antiAI crowd are full of shit ngl like I know no one is allowed to have good faith arguments and nuance is the first thing to see the headsman but fuck. it is not the God Machine. it is also not the Diarrhea Dispenser.

my position on AI has always been 1. don't be a fucking idiot 2. learn the tools best you can to serve you and your use cases. you can be principled about the wrongness of the mass theft and still also familiarize yourself. 3. don't be a fucking idiot

Why do people crash out like this against AI? This is the sort of AI psychosis we’re not talking about enough. Also, the “cheating *crisis*”? In a world with plentiful amounts of real crises, I’d hardly count “tech that makes it easier to be a lazy college kid” a crisis

yeah anything math or simd it’ll just shit brief. it will lie

thanks

doing anything in c++ ui related is just a nightmare. looks incredible though.

it’s so fascinating seeing how easily people get inducted into cults. most people just casually have this vulnerability
