it is such an insane fantasy to think that neoliberal governments would ever let UBI exist. no, instead we will have wealth inequality like you can’t even imagine if these AI dorks get their way. get ready to make $10/month changing GPUs in a data center

it does make sense that all these "ai is the god machine and it's so scary and we have to build it as fast as possible" people are rationalist slate star codex types. closely related to the effective altruism dorks

i am not a designer but i really wanted to try to do as much of the brand/identity of my synth company as possible. i think i've landed on these typefaces which feels authentic to the aesthetic i've been thinking of. it feels like something i can execute on myself that is a little "fun"

bandcamp just did the coolest thing, omg!
Subsonic implementation (beta)

Bandcamp now implements the Subsonic API for streaming your collection.

With a supported Subsonic client—currently Amperfy, Feishin, and Submariner, others may work but these are the ones we suggest—you can log in and immediately listen to your collection on several different platforms.

To get started, go to Fan Settings, scroll down to Subsonic and generate your credentials. You can then add Bandcamp as a Subsonic or OpenSubsonic server in your Subsonic client with the server URL https://bandcamp.com/api/subsonic. Once you’re set up, you can stream/download your collection and create/edit playlists (which will show up in your Bandcamp collection on the web/app, too!).

Please note this is an open beta. Things might be a little slow if you have a big collection. Check out the Bandcamp blog for screenshots and more details.

Thanks,
Bandcamp

my last feature for bandcamp is subsonic API support! now you can use a subsonic client to play your collection like it’s a self-hosted music server. yay open protocols! (btw there’s only explicit support for 3 clients but you’re welcome to try others, some may or may not work)

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

it is really crazy to process leaving a place you’ve worked for 13 years. for many years it was a huge part of my identity, less so in recent years but still.. every day i wake up and work on bandcamp, it is what i do. since i was 22 years old, a literal baby

We had so many good times and nurtured a truly good corner of the internet, but what a shitty fizzling ending for the folks who got laid off today (and many more a couple of years ago).

my 13 years at bandcamp are coming to an end - i’ve been laid off along with most of the remaining engineers. best job i’ve ever had, working with the best people you could ever work with. unceremonious end to quite a ride.

The US military has backed AI development for decades; in turn, AI has transformed warfare. Amid shifting alliances & lawsuits, it’s easy to lose sight of the larger context: In recent years in particular, AI has enabled more and faster killings than ever before. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

AI warfare is already here
Even Anthropic seems to think its red lines won’t hold for long.
