Leonard Cohen and Sonny Rollins playing “Who By Fire” on NBC’s one of a kind Nightmusic (1989). We have the late Hal Wilner and David Sanborn to thank for dreaming up and producing the greatest music show that’s ever been on tv.
@ValerioCapraro LLM are basically left hemisphere only.
They can simulate the surface of the right hemisphere function, which make them interesting but still unable to be creative or have eureka moments of invention. They can do labrious analytical work at scale.

In 1986 Sonny Rollins broke his heel jumping off a 6-foot stone wall during an outdoor performance, and kept playing. The band comes to monitor the situation then they all laugh as they return to their instruments. Sonny was built different.
If you have a bug zapper up, it's time to take that shit down.
A landmark University of Delaware study (Frick and Tallamy, 1996) counted nearly 14,000 insects killed by residential bug zappers over a single summer.
Mosquitoes were 31 of them. A mere 0.22%.
The other 99.78% were moths, beetles, midges, fireflies, and the night-shift pollinators your yard depends on.
Mosquitoes don't navigate by light. They find you by your carbon dioxide, body heat, and skin chemistry. Your bug zapper is invisible to them and lethal to almost everything else.
Harvard Medical School's Zika page specifically warns against bug zappers because they may increase mosquito populations by killing the predators that eat them.
What actually works: eliminate standing water within 100 feet of where you spend time outside.
Bug zappers are 1970s technology built on a 1970s misunderstanding of mosquitoes. It's time to take it down.
People are letting AI write their wedding vows, love letters, parents’ obituaries, kids’ birthday cards… Such a powerful loss to self and community when people relinquish the truth of their own words and voices to become epiphenomenal vessels for computers to talk to each other.

Somehow I don't think the Stochastic Parrots will enslave the City Apes. The humans will just drive themselves vrazy. I'm more scared of the humans, and/or paperclip scenarios.
@DainFitzgerald It's like they couldn't write their own mystical ceremonial text, or they regard ChatGPT as the new priest class. They conduct a ritual.
To be fair this is probably an art event, given the clothes and location. They probably find it funny.
@jasonwblakely What the F are you doing personally to bring down this regime? What's your plan? I want action from you. Not stupid posts criticizing other people. Jason, how are you going to stop and reverse the fascist takeover of the US? I am serious. Give us your actionable plan.
damn, perhaps the most substantial new Jan Jelinek project in years - made in collab with scene legend Alan Abrahams of Portable fame and recalling his classic Gramm and Farben projects with a low-lit set of simmering, frayed House burners. v stong!

it kinda bums me out when music being promoted as barely-there electronic minimalism or drifting free-form ambient still feels very closely tethered to a grid with no sign of actual “drift” or arrhythmic interaction between elements. the clear DAW timeline-ification of it all
