The man whose band launched a thousand black metal ships. RIP Cronos - you left a legacy steeped in speed and black metal.

If nothing else AI is making clear that there are people all around us for whom writing, art, and music are not communion with another mind, but just - wallpaper. Just pleasant things to look at. They think AI is conscious because they have no actual grasp of what it is to encounter another mind.

You don’t need to use AI if you know how to listen to music. Everything that AI can do, and more, can be accomplished faster, cheaper and more effectively via music listening. If you don’t know how to listen to music correctly, I understand that using AI might seem tempting, but that’s a false path.
