Loved Tears for Fears - Bluegrass not so much - BUT there is some superb Bluegrass work that leaks through to my appreciative ears.

Loved Yes - never a big fan of Asia - despite Asia often being made up of people I love … like Wetton, Howe, Palmer and Downes for example and Fanfare is one of my favourite ELP tracks.
(BTW - nothing like ELPs and IMHO a massive improvement.)
🔗 Communities are not fungible
Economists have a word for assets that can be swapped one-for-one without loss of value: fungible. A dollar is fungible. A barrel of West Texas Intermediate crude is fungible.
Just like ‘content’.
Dont like that idea? Stop calling your work content.

Will tech billionaires get rid of democracy by getting rid of people?
🔗 Loops, by Paul Ford (Ftrain)
I’m trying to set up a working feedback loop: Fingers to keys; keys to sound; sound to ears; ears to brain; brain to fingers. Getting to anything like flow is very hard unless I’m going slow, slow.

🔗 Razer’s resurrected 25-year-old gaming mouse will cost you $1,337
.. but hurry - because they are only making 1,337 of them.
No - I don’t understand the significance either.
OpenAI is not open. The irony❗️
🔗 Paolo ~ It’s still time for free AI love
The thing is, we’re at a moment where the technology moves so fast that locking into a single vendor’s AI stack feels reckless. In the last few months we moved most of our work from OpenAI to Anthropic. Not because OpenAI is bad, but because Claude turned out to be better for what we do. In a few months we might move again. The point is that we can.
➕
We can because we own our prompts, our skills, our databases, our memory architecture, they all live in our bar. None of it lives inside OpenAI or Anthropic.

Adam Tinworth … 🔗 Journalism isn’t dying
Less than a week after massive layoffs at the Washington Post which have sent shockwaves through the media world, this seems like a strange thing to say, but journalism is not dying. In fact, it’s in no danger of dying. It’s being reborn all around us, right now.
Me back in 2018 : 🖇️ Musicians Only Made 12% of the Music Industry’s Revenue
I think it’s a related argument - add in the argument about ‘saving the planet - we are killing it’. Yes we are - but that os not the problem.
In all three cases we are looking at the wrong thing.
It was the music industry that was dying - not music - as that headline in 2018 highlights and as we see today. Not saying it isn’t hard. It is - but it is very much around.
As for Climate Change - sure - it might wipe out humanity - but the planet will be just fine. Its a bugger what we are doing to it - but in all honesty if we werent around - the planet would recover.
So too journalism.
