It feels like Earth was designed perfectly for us, rain falling from the sky, food growing from the ground, yet somehow we’ve built a world where people need good credit scores, multiple jobs, and 40-hour workweeks just to survive

Ronny Chieng’s speech at Harvard “Ai is just going to make mediocre people dumber” Truer words have never been spoken This is how you give a graduation speech!

The fact that generative AI has created a fundamental doubt in reality. We now pause to check if an artwork, video, or design is even human-made before we can fully appreciate it. It has really damaged the instinctive joy of it. It’s sickeningly tragic.

Please stop. I don’t want an AI summary of my Google search. I don’t want an AI summary of the text message from my friend at work. I don’t want an AI summary of the email I’m about to read. Please just stop.

When @ConnollyTunes reviews my music, it's like he can scan my soul!

You can tell the people building AI systems fundamentally misunderstand art because they think creativity is primarily about output volume. That’s why every demo is: “Look, it made 4,000 images in 8 seconds.” Okay. And? Michelangelo didn’t paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling slowly because his hardware was bad. Human beings take time to create things because thought itself takes time. Taste takes time. Doubt takes time. Some of the greatest art ever made came from obsession, limitation, frustration, revision, failure. But Silicon Valley genuinely believes creativity is just a throughput problem. As if Shakespeare would've written Hamlet faster if he had GPU clusters. The people building these systems look at a forest and see lumber. They look at music and see audio data. They look at paintings and see training material. They look at human expression and see an industry waiting to be automated. That’s why all this AI-generated stuff feels so empty. It was built by people who understand the price of everything and the value of nothing.

As part of my compilation album, I've included a newly remastered version of 'Heroes Let You Down'. The video's had a lick of paint, too! Now available in... *drum roll* ...colour. Watch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=ZTXD_JP_…

Today's NoMoCo #SongOfTheDay is from Japan based Yorkshireman, Bryan Cooper (@bry_cooper). A beautiful, mellow track. The guitar sound and vocals remind me of the late, great Jeff Buckley. High praise indeed! open.spotify.com/track/5SiaU…

This is one of the most depressing emails I've received for a while. @Songkick is giving your data to @Suno. I don't see how the demographics of those making A.I. garbage overlap with those wanting to see live music. I've requested my account be deleted immediately.

Good luck to Jakob Wanker at LASK.

In this age of A.I. videos at our fingertips, do you know what we can believe about anything anymore? Nothing. There is no point in trusting any video footage of anything, no matter the alleged source, nor which side you're rooting for.

Russia has been cut off from CNN, CBS, ABC, Pornhub, Facebook... The US is working to deprive Russians of McDonald's, Coca-Cola and US fastfood. If they continue with these sanctions, the Russian people will probably be the healthiest, well-adjusted, spiritual and well-informed people on the planet.

Don't miss @bry_cooper's #coverversion of @suedeHQ's wonderful #britpop #classic "The Wild Ones" in our @NAS_Spotlight #IwantmyNAS #musicvideo #pickoftheweek! #supportindiemusic youtube.com/watch?v=2DZh2oyb…

It's shameful how the @ManUtd and @thestoneroses stores are trying to cash in on Mani's recent passing.

I notice that @GordonRamsay was fully booked again in Newcastle at the weekend. #LIVNEW (Hopefully the 'Burn' was only minor)

Deezer goode, Deezer goode..... Yep, these are good. @Deezer #AIisTheft techradar.com/audio/audio-st…

Here's the thing with AI… Artists are having their work STOLEN by multi BILLION DOLLAR AI companies to train their AI models and those companies are profiting off unpaid and stolen work. That is theft and it is illegal. If these multi BILLION DOLLAR AI companies want to contact the writers, artist, filmmakers, costume designers, graphic designs, musicians, animators, etc and offer to PAY THEM for their work to be used in their training models… then fine, that is the artist's choice. It's essentially the artist selling their work at a price the artist sets. AI companies can afford to pay artists, artist cannot afford to have their work stolen. If the AI companies don't pay for work with consent of the artist… IT'S THEFT and should be punishable under copyright right law. TLDR: fuck you, pay me.

If you can spare a couple of clicks (the process is super easy), please could you vote for me & Swedish rock god @magnusson_macke in the @FutureHitsRadio top 40? Apparently it will make us really famous and stuff. Me: futurehits.top40poll.com/reg… Marcus: futurehits.top40poll.com/reg…
