@gabdraws @J_Scott_Art People don’t have infinite time

@WriterMcG Then don’t sell out to “middlemen”? It’s totally optional. You’re getting a cut of the 99% win after that. If it wasn’t often a wiser choice to join a team then people wouldn’t do it. And you can’t make something that has 1% chance of success on its own succeed without work

@TheCartelDel Not sure about game devs but we 100% should be creating more orchestras, music and arts roles regardless of demand.

[Justin Schmidt @Justin_Schmidt1]

@allisonperryart @BryanNHolt Sure but schools not having realistically demanding standards is part of the systemic issue.

You can't really contend with what LLMs mean without centering the quantity issue. The flood of low-quality slop is drowning out any hypothetical good uses, especially when hallucinations and errors fill up our databases and resources.

2 episodes into Shrinking and Jason Segal is doing a Dracula imitation again. This is obviously a rider in his contract at this point.

@frjones_ Cultural un-sustainability encapsulated in one lineup

[Justin Schmidt @Justin_Schmidt1]

Saw them live at Moogfest 2011, opening with that one. That whole fest was insane even for the time. St Vincent, Flaming Lips, Brian Eno, Suicide, TV on the Radio, Battles, Crystal Castles, Tangerine Dream, Chromeo, Oneohtrix Point Never, Moby, Tori t Moi, Neon Indian, Holy Fuck

a lot of people will never be able to listen to m83 midnight city in the context of the year it came out it felt like anything was possible and summer was forever

[Justin Schmidt @Justin_Schmidt1]

@rrroooiiirrr People are genuinely struggling to understand what it was like to listen to music with an optimistic + encyclopedic interest.

[Justin Schmidt @Justin_Schmidt1]

@nealjclark1 It is and it isn’t. It definitely isn’t a good description of hipster music though. But the hipsters who listened to hipster music would still be at all of those shows.

[Justin Schmidt @Justin_Schmidt1]

@theneedledrop You weren’t a hipster if you didn’t have a friend who insisted that Fiery Furnaces’ Blueberry Boat was maybe, no, probably the best album of the year

[Justin Schmidt @Justin_Schmidt1]

@inframateria First true thing said in this incredibly pointless debate

[Justin Schmidt @Justin_Schmidt1]

@hiattb Weird to bring up PBR. The reason everyone thought it was cool (besides the cheap price) was that we knew the story of it being a washed up brand that was being repurposed. The marketing was appreciated, if anything.

[Justin Schmidt @Justin_Schmidt1]

@ColeSandick Eric Swalwell’s support is still going strong?

[Justin Schmidt @Justin_Schmidt1]

Ok, which of you stomp clap bands hired Chaotic Good to make everyone’s feed to make up controversy about who listed to you 15 years ago? This discussion topic sucks!

[Justin Schmidt @Justin_Schmidt1]

@michaelmiraflor @theneedledrop There really was no bigger misconception than “the internet is forever” and yet people back then were posting (and reading) like it was.

[Ashley Reese @offbeatorbit]

look, i'm not humorless so i can get behind jokes looking back on the hipster era just as much as the next girl who spent too much money at american apparel. But people have GOT to stop associating that scene with stomp clap lumineers shit. it's inaccurate!

@Stevenwoolery @CvatikPhoto When did he learn to manage a set and crew? A shooting schedule? Large scale lighting and sound?

[Justin Schmidt @Justin_Schmidt1]

@jonkentcomrade That’s like a room of 2 dozen people who only subscribe to basic cable

@jonkentcomrade Most Platner voters are liberals (not progressives) tho
