Sigh. In what universe is this a winning message to communicate—to the public—when you are a retailer and consumer company?? (*Especially* now, at a time when economic conditions for ordinary people are already stressful and quite possibly worsening.)

Could this be the “Walkman for a new era” that we suggested/requested?? (If so, 26 days is pretty good as a lead time for ‘manifestation’, non? ;)

Seems like a good time to refresh memories and repost this WSJ article from March 2025—a year and a half ago. As ever, watch what people actually *do* rather than what they say (which seems to change from minute to minute anyway). *Nobody's* kids should monopolize art. Not now, not ever.

Pope Leo XIV, in Paris, cautions against losing humanity in 'paradise of machines'
In a speech at the start of his four-day visit to France, the pope warned against the dangers of AI and other technologies, stressed that 'authentic secularity' should not exclude religion, and urged France to be a 'tireless champion of peace.'
