I've never seen anyone mention him in the wild -- The Entire City is one of my favorite paintings, it's haunted me since I saw it in an art book when I was 10 years old. And yeah, AI could never.

oh thank you that is interesting, I just assumed the Spotify API would be locked down and useless, I'll check it out! I generally use music-map.com for finding similar artists (by hand).

Mostly yeah, although I do old fashioned crate digging and rip vinyl myself sometimes. I search for long (>100 tracks) playlists, the component videos of which have <20k views; this gets me enough candidate playlists to find good music collections. I also sometimes look at similar-artist tools to find new bands from obscure gems I find.
Curation has become a constant background activity for me; if I'm coding for work, reading a forum, or browsing web stuff, I'm probably also auditioning some playlist or artist in the background.

cleaning and correcting metadata is a neverending labour :(
The digging and curation is a lifelong obsession, so I have a lot of angles. I have a script to trawl the youtube API for long playlists with certain criteria that indicate curation of obscure music; when I find those I rabbit-hole down them hunting for gold. I am sometimes active on Soundcloud/Bandcamp and make connections with artists there. When I find a great obscure single, I rabbithole the artist and their label/connections to find more.

I have the impression many people here are weird old people who like strange media, so I would like to humbly plug my strange radio station.
It's been my personal project the past 6+ years; I collect obscure, old, weird, and beautiful music from everywhere and have software mixing it together 24/7. It's up to almost 16,000 tracks now, all hand selected by me. It's not for profit and probably illegal. I hope you check it out and enjoy it.

There's no probably! It's not building a model! It can't, because there is no facility for doing that. "its memory bank of our previous interactions" is literally just text it spit out at the end of an inference that gets saved to a file and added to future prompts.
You could go read about how these LLMs actually work instead of speculating in darkness, why not do so?

became an outright atheist at the age of 5. Didn't knock it before I tried it
Well done, this is why I eschew arithmetic and wiping my asshole. Who needs it!

You're thinking of the 29th president Warren G Hunger, who also appeared on Snoop Dogg's early recordings.

You're....being sarcastic, right? Because my ex wife claimed exactly this about me as well, and she was completely fucking psycho.

It's amazing that the cutoff between "sincerely enjoying literature" and "poser" passes exactly through your own limitations and tastes. It's funny, I've never heard anyone who espouses your theory place that line anywhere else.

They're creating the appearance that he was killed, without having to falsely claim he was, for some psyop reason. I can't see why though.

iirc Big Yud had an essay on this, called something like "Am I Smarter Than The Bank Of Japan?"

You could probably zoom in and say all this about many of the peasants who helped in Cambodia's great reset, but it doesn't matter, because the end result was piles of severed heads in ditches. The hour is getting late.

The killer was released from custody something like 25 times? At that point you're an agent of the state.

I really wish people weren't downvoting you just because they disagree. You are clearly contributing tremendously to discussion regardless.

is it even possible for you people to argue without just sarcastically repeating your opponent's position in a funny voice?

People respond this way because they are white supremacists, they just aren't conscious of it.

I don’t think I am outsourcing my thinking or perspective to AI but using it to improve my thinking.
This is what they call a "cope" -- you're rephrasing the distasteful truth to something less accurate but more palatable. If an external actor "improves" your product in ways you couldn't have done yourself, you have in fact outsourced at least that part of your product.
These are only problems if you consider these neowave genres to be historical preservation museums, which they aren't (the original music still exists for that). They're mashup/remix genres; the problems you describe are actually features.
