AI
So much of of the existing music, film and TV culture — using 20th century technology — is cookie cutter, lifeless and uninspiring.
The democratization of the AI tools means even more people can pump out content, so context will matter more than ever in order to give meaning to the work.

AuthorityHacker surveyed 1,200 music consumers and got some striking results: 93% said they did not value AI-generated music as highly as music produced by humans. And, while over 60% said they would consider listening to AI music, some 56% also said they would not willingly pay for songs generated using AI. Perhaps most striking: 89% of those... See more
As AI fakes proliferate, we need to draw a clear distinction between human-made music and AI-generated content

Brian Klaas • The Death of the Student Essay—and the Future of Cognition
We humans aren't the only ones to experience cognitive decline as we age. Research conducted by neurologists and data scientists reveals that some artificial intelligence models struggle with visual, spatial, and executive tasks as they get older, suggesting that they, too, age away from peak performance. The study highlights an unanticipated... See more
AI Models Experience 'Cognitive Decline' As They Age: Study
The irony is that I now know more than I ever would have before AI. But I feel slightly dumber. A bit more dull.
Dustin Curtis on Svbtle • Thoughts on Thinking
This whole post is very good. I don’t know whether Dustin is a canary or not, but he’s poking at some things I’ve been feeling to some degree.
The dream of course is that one day narrative jailbreaking works in an irl conversation too. So if we’re chatting and I ask you how your day has been and then ask you why you just manifested a portal to the reality onion-skinned just outside this one, right between us, hanging iridescent in the air, there look I’m reaching through it, what do I...

Narrative jailbreaking for fun and profit
Matt Webb continues to be one of my favorite writers over the last few years. His Poem/1 project was also amazing.
