Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Wildly disrespectful to any artist that ever lived. I'm all up for sharing alternatives that are good/better towards actual artists. Still evaluating my choices, but meanwhile this seems like the only and rather easy signal the streaming community can give as to spread the word if they agree (next to stopping your own subscription).

I just exported my playlists as csvs and have switched to VLC with downloaded music. It has playlists and works with both my Android Auto and my Cardo for my motorcycle helmet. Spotify has been cancelled.

If you don't mind me asking, when I have tried using VLC with music, there seems to be like 1-3 seconds delay between songs which is a deal-breaker for me when I'm listening for whole albums. Is there a way to work around this, or do you just not have this issue at all?

Haven't had the issue at all, though I'm using it on Android, not PC, so not sure if that makes a difference.

I also have this, with videos too and on pc, android and ios...
