A little game I made called Mindscape Mayhem! A shoot 'em up game about a troubled mind.

Music is a gift. It is the result of a creative act by a human. All those small and numerous details, chosen by a human. We find that it is more than just a mechanical process of assembling one’s knowledge of harmony, melody and instrumentation. There is something extra, that we have labeled in different ways. Some call it a muse, some say the human spirit.
When we look at nature, we see remarkable creativity. A sunset, intricate fractal patterns, a mountain vista. It reminds me of an ancient idea: that there is perhaps a Spirit, beyond time and space, that created this and for some reason, gifted that creative ability to us, pesky humans. The idea being that humans are “imago Dei”, made in the image of this Creator.
Companies and technologies with a desire to fully replace that Creative source with some new breakthrough anti-human technology is Tower of Babel level stuff. In other words: kinda not good.
The ideology is one that has permeated the Silicon Valley and VC world for decades, and it is absolutely the wrong use of technology.
Yes, AI/LLM/ML technologies will have a great use in many cases: helping diagnose diseases, childhood education, replacing CEOs 😂. But replacing the exact thing that makes us Human: creativity, this is wrong, and humans must push against this.
Whether you believe in God, or you are an atheist, or perhaps agnostic, I think we can agree that something just ‘isn’t right’ with all this.
Keep being vocal about your views on this! I’ll do the same. And perhaps we will move the needle in the right direction.
@BlackmillMusic Just wanted to say thanks for being an inspiration, you're the reason I started making music back in 2012. Looking forward to the album!
