College radio stations are seeing a surge in student interest.

Stations that once struggled to fill airtime are now overflowing with student DJs.

I spoke to 7 college radio stations across the U.S. to understand what is driving the revival:

anyone who uses the term mycelial in their music description has to explain what it means to an audience of mycologists and pay us in mushrooms or cash.

"But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself."

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

I Am An AI Hater

I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

The people who made these sound like they are the absolute worst people with whom to converse: “it's empowering me to be able to say ten times more things, ten times more intelligently.” no, please, not ten times more “things”

i really do think it is terrifying that technofascism’s ultimate goal is eliminating human-ness from
the world. we may be fucked up and we may fuck up in any number of ways but people being people in all our incredible variance and depth is what makes the fabric of life so rich

Things feel extremely “off” because … they are - all I want is for my friends to be happy and for everyone to make art. My little wishes and hopes are so silly in the face of the evil before us - but it’s all each of us has, really… our dreams …
