I swear I will stop posting about Gen AI today, but as a final point, if the appeal to a person is that Gen AI gives them a final product that makes them feel like an artist, they do not understand art. Art is *the process* of creation, not the final product. I pity anyone who forgoes that joy.
"My parents couldn't make me a musician but AI can" is about as perfect as can be.
Pre 2000, Virtually every incredibly talented musician in rock & blues has a story of saving for a crappy instrument, learning by sitting in their bedroom playing to records, & playing terrible gigs for no money

All AI music does is devalue the work done by human artists. It’s not accessibility, it’s exploitation. We need real protections for artists against AI!
BTW — even if you had access to this AI startup as a child, you still wouldn’t know how to make music.

Good thread
I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.
No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.
Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.
But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?
No.

Sales of cultivated, feminized eels are beginning to spread in Japan, as researchers have successfully developed a method to feminize eels.
Sales of farmed, feminized eels spread as cultivation method is developed
Female eels grow to twice the weight of males, and data shows that their meat contains more umami and has softer textures.

3. The flu vaccine itself can have side effects which can be perceived by patients as "I immediately got the flu".
4. There are multiple viruses that can cause similar symptoms such as COVID and adenovirus which the flu shot cannot protect against.

This is a good example of how confusion about the flu vaccine leads to reduced uptake:
1. We know that immunity develops about 10-14 days after administration. The incubation period is 1-4 days. Getting influenza within a week is not unheard of.
2. The flu vaccine is not 100% effective.

In 2013 Piers Morgan got a flu shot on Dr. Oz, was promised he wouldn't get the flu and a week later got it—mirroring what I've seen more times than I can count
Centuries of evidence show vaccines cause temporary immune suppression and outbreaks (ie polio) follow vax campaigns🧵
