Brian Eno on crafting the Windows 95 start up sound. This is never far from my thoughts.

"The thing from the agency said, 'We want a piece of music that is inspiring, universal, blah-blah, da-da-da, optimistic, futuristic, sentimental, emotional,' this whole list of adjectives, and then at the bottom it said 'and it must be 3.25 seconds long.'
"I thought this was so funny and an amazing thought to actually try to make a little piece of music. It's like making a tiny little jewel."
Eno soon became obsessed by this task, creating 84 different pieces of music - the other 83 of which I'd love to see the light of day at some point.
"I got completely into this world of tiny, tiny little pieces of music", he continued. "I was so sensitive to microseconds at the end of this that it really broke a logjam in my own work. Then when I'd finished that and I went back to working with pieces that were like three minutes long, it seemed like oceans of time."

Objectively, humanity's greatest challenge is to combine shared prosperity for all humans with ecological sustainability. But AI boosters offer way vaguer visions of making things "better." That's the tell—they don't care about concrete, material problems.

There are already articles circulating trying to rewrite history and say America was great after 9/11 and united and thoughtful and just a reminder that that period was marked by intense and insanely racist hatred, paranoia, and a frothing desire for unhinged violence and oppression.
