Seeing Meta and now Open AI both creating cute creatures as the personas for their AI Agents has me thinking about a book I read 20+ years ago "Cute, quaint, hungry and romantic : the aesthetics of consumerism". The ToC shows how relevant it still is. archive.org/details/cute...

I have felt weird about Apple Messages ever since iOS 27 came out and Apple Intelligence is turned on for some many people that don’t realize what they are opting in to and that they are opting in every one the talk to as well. Thinking about Meta having that data is so much worse!

I myself, and a lot of artists I know, have removed the demonetized tracks and albums from Spotify, similar to what he is talking about with Google. VCs are not knocking down my door for my back catalog, and for the record, we did not get into this to be rich or famous.

Yann Novak @yannnovak.com · 26/09/2026
Spotify demonetized anything that gets 1000 plays or less in a 12 month period. Most music on Spotify does not wind up in a playlist, so one of the only other ways of discovering it would be an esoteric search query. But Spotify is saying those outliers are not worth paying for.

@reckless.bsky.social, I just go a nose bleed from his jump from the Spotify metaphor to the Swiss cheese metaphor. The musician (like myself) working in those holes in the cheese are the exact ones that the Spotify model fails the most.

It’s actually discouraging how much of the discourse gets diverted to “AI good or AI bad” when the obvious and more pressing issue is “AI *companies* are definitely bad”

That one AI burrito going around a few weeks ago literally gave me Trypophobia. I went to a restaurant with AI images in the menu recently and had to cover them with my hand because they were making me feel so sick. I don’t think that is the outcome you want from images of food on your menu…

The wild thing about this is, if someone is open to using LLMs for the proposed work, then they could buy a 1/mo subscription for the price these iLand agents are changing. So the agents are just trying to get you to outsource your prompting to them at a huge markup? But AI Slop is already cheap?

It’s easy to see why the AI companies wanted to hide this from the public. The statements are some of the most damning indictments of the ways LLMs were trained, how they work, and the immediate threat they pose to human labor. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social reports. www.404media.co/doom-loop-op...

This is wild: scammers are hijacking real artists' official Spotify pages with AI slop to make $$$. We know this because we did it. We made AI music and put it on a real band's page. It was shockingly easy. There is a gaping hole in how music is digitally distributed www.404media.co/spotify-ai-m...
