@grok What are your current thoughts on the future of the music business and where it’s going? I’m mainly interested in your opinions on frontier AI and how it’s currently impacting the music business.

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

I don’t think there’s ever been en a technology whose builders constantly promise that, if they succeed, tens of millions of jobs will be destroyed and the world might end.

@KevinTFrazier Any chance that you want to nerd out on a Zoom about an AI Literacy Corps? I'm just reading your essay from back in April after a couple of Google searches. I've also advocated for this idea.

"The Singularity (AI 2045)" is a hip-hop musical.

[Kyle Bylin @kylebylin]

I wonder what's going to happen with AI devices in 2026. We're promised to get the OpenAI device.

What else do you think will be coming beyond more power in AI services, models, and browsers?

Search is changing right before our eyes.

@cxy Thank you for the kind words about my website! I tried really hard to make it beautiful and cool.

How do you explain superintelligence to someone on the street? Do you tell them about paperclips?

As a librarian, I've been trying to figure out how to engage students in a conversation about AI.

I want everyone to make up their own minds.

But I don't want people to bury their heads in the sand and pretend this isn't happening. It is.

So, what? Yes, and now what... Change.

I don't think that people get step change in AI capability that we've seen since @kevinroose published "Powerful A.I. Is Coming. We’re Not Ready." There's been a huge move forward in one semester, and most people think it's last Winter without seeing that "Winter is coming."

[Kyle Bylin @kylebylin]

Everyone lives in their own isolation chamber or filter bubble when it comes to their algorithm.

How can anyone have a conversation on anything?

We need to start looking at the same sources and timelines when it comes to frontier AI.

And we need to take them more seriously.

[Kyle Bylin @kylebylin]

One of the biggest challenges of teaching AI literacy is that you can get lost in the current conversation.

What's the hottest topic discussed right now?

However, I think we all need to become more versed in the history that led us to this moment.

That's why I made AI 2045.

@sama I made you into Hamilton.

@DKokotajlo I’m a huge fan of your work on AI 2027. I decided to make my own timeline after I completed my AI Safety certificate. Check it out: https://t.co/jGKMZm8hjs.

It's Loveable + Deep Research, and lots of nerding out over music biz history.

[Kyle Bylin @kylebylin]

If you believe — like me — the Turing test for music has already been passed…

Because:

AI-generated songs are now topping the Billboard country sales charts.

What will occur when music agents can more effectively tailor and promote music in the future to optimize revenue?

[Kyle Bylin @kylebylin]

What do you think music will look like in 10 years, as frontier AI keeps evolving and reshaping how people create, market, share, listen to, and experience music?

This might be one of the most transformative eras in music history.
