After 15 years on Twitter/X I'm going to shut down this account. It's mostly a waste of time and now I am terminally ill I can't be arsed with it. You can always say hi, at https://t.co/71VPRZYhtq
@Bandcamp please help - you keep sending my payments to a PayPal account that no longer exists - I have closed my PayPal account. When will you be able to pay via Stripe???

@dreamkid83 Get off Spotify and other streaming platforms. Use Bandcamp or a platform where you can release vinyl / cassette and communicate directly with your audience.
🚨 Do you understand what this man just pulled off..
> a guy from North Carolina used AI to generate hundreds of thousands of songs.. uploaded them to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon.. then botted billions of streams on his own tracks and walked away with $8 million
> 660,000 fake streams per day.. spread across thousands of AI songs so nobody noticed.. $1.2 million a year.. for music no human ever actually listened to
real artists are out here grinding for 0.003 cents per stream.. promoting on TikTok.. begging for playlist placements.. and this guy just had AI make the music AND the audience
first-ever criminal streaming fraud case.. he's paying back $8 million.. but the playbook is out there now.. and AI just got better since he started
the music industry spent 10 years fighting piracy.. now they have to fight songs that don't exist being listened to by people who don't exist.
@refikanadol Without authenticity, art is nothing. Using AI as a tool is one thing, but letting it dream, visualize, create for you is something else entirely. Everywhere now I see incredible images brought to life by AI. But it's all eye-candy, empty like a hallucination.
@AICEOGiuliano@Preda2005 Disney's days are numbered. But fewer and fewer people will have the mental stamina to watch hour long movies. Attention spans are rapidly eroding as we become digital dopamine addicts, hooked into the matrix 24/7.
