    Will AI kill us all?

    Spiritually, with respect to having meaning or purpose, I think it's almost done killing us. We're on life-support right now.

    Things you recently bought or got

    Had to cave and buy an audio interface because my old Roland workstation finally gave out. Got a Behringer umc204hd In my opinion, after working with it for about a month, it's over-hyped. Supposed to be very quiet, high quality preamps for a budget price, with high gain even with dynamic...

    Things you recently bought or got

    Just bought a Shubb capo So yummy-yummy. Been using Kyser for years, but man, the Shubb (when placed properly) just pretty much totally negates string buzzing and such.

    Anyone able to summarize the new iCloud terms & conditions?

    I think it came up on my phone a while ago, but I still haven't agreed to it out of concern for giving up even more of my privacy. Anyone actually read this text book of (il)legal jargon?

    Have you ever fainted/passed out

    Three times I can remember. Was about 11. Someone told us we could get high huffing Freon, so we searched around the neighborhood looking for an A/C compressor with a Freon outlet. I huffed, and woke up a short time later. Was about 13. Had a kidney infection, went into a seizure, and woke up...

    Not my genre, but excellent production.

    🎻Do you play an instrument? 🎺

    Good point. I do stuff like that myself. Since I don't own drums, sometimes I'll record some leg slaps, and then when I bring the tracks into my workstation, I'll run them through some filter effects. You'd be surprised some of the cool sounds you can get from simple objects and instruments...

    🎻Do you play an instrument? 🎺

    :sad: Economical these days? Took my son to Guitar Center about a year back, and he ended up paying about $1300 for a Fender strat that wasn't even U.S.-built. But as far as electrics go, yeah, Fender strat would still be my recommendation for a good starter electric. For acoustics, probably...

    🎻Do you play an instrument? 🎺

    Obligatory guitar player here (and singer). Started playing when I was about four years old. One of my older brothers gave me his classical guitar to hold onto indefinitely. After he took me to see Pat Metheny when I was six-years old, I was dedicated. Played electric when I was young, but for...

    Wanted to finish my Red Baron pizza from the previous day, but also felt in the mood for eggs. So...

    That feels a bit like an insult.

    Dead Internet Theory

    Starting? Don't know that I agree with that. The only reason Big Brother allowed it to flourish in the first place was profit. Sure, it might have taken 10-20 years to grow into what it is now, but I feel confident that was always the intent. What will become of it in the future? I think...

    Why are anti-AI folks so angry about what other people do?

    My son's a visual artist, and when I started using AI animations for my musical videos, he was hurt and angry, saying it took the creativity out of the expression. I then started seeing and hearing about musical AI, and though I wasn't particularly concerned about it, I can perceive better...

    We seem to have the opposite composite. I got more grey in my beard, but still almost nothing going on up top.

    Me and my youngest son caught eating treats in the park a while back. My wife likes to catch me candidly.
