"Those who study music should be concerned about the loss of cultural diversity for the same reason that biologists worry about the loss of biodiversity: we don't yet know what the loss will mean, but we do know that the loss will be irreversible." David Huron (1954–2025)

The relationship between social media and democracy is complex but important and there is a lot of debate. For coordination, I wanted to gauge the community with a discussion thread about what, in my view, we do know and the ones we do not know (yet), please add your thoughts and/or disagree: 1/n

It's somewhat funny reading hot takes that generative AI doesn't pose any real ecological challenges because the marginal energy cost of calling simpler trained models is low.

AI tools are fascinating but fell short when I tried creating a logo for my project. Science Graphic Design (www.sciencegraphicdesign.com) brought ideas to life—earbuds for modern music listening, a magnifying glass for auditing. Their input was invaluable. Sometimes, AI isn’t enough. Kudos to them!

Traveling to Milan from Rome by train for participating to LINECHECK2024 (www.linecheck.it). I cannot but recall the comfort and pleasure of traveling with train in Japan: no noisy people, no people talking, no people watching videos at high volume... I'll miss that.

Just spent 2 weeks traveling in Japan reading "The Design of Everyday Things" by Norman, and I realised how - even without knowing a single word of Japanese - the amazing design of most of the technology and services made this the most comfortable trip I had in my life ありがとうございます

Quite puzzled by the idea that "sad girl hipster" could be a music theme for a playlist. Not sure either if #Lorde or #LanaDelRey welcome this label. #spotify #daylist #musicplaylist #openquestion
