"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).

You can always buy the music directly from the artist? Why steal it from them just like Spotify does?

ITT: People who don’t deserve music. Learn to play it yourself or buy it, there is no other moral option.

I buy music, but pirsting is not stealing

It sure is. Can you explain how you receiving a product from someone while they receive nothing is not theft?

Copying data is not theft. Cut it out.

So wrong. Why should you have access to other people’s hard work and creativity for free?

I buy albums regularly, but what, you think I have money for a gazillion cds? Lmao

Yeah… it’s called a music collection? Why should you have access to other people’s work for free?
