Musicians/actors are both making way less money on sales/residuals now than they did before streaming, and that's been going on for 10+ years at this point so even the "biggest stars" well into their careers are nowhere near as financially secure as they used to be.

I've been noticing an uptick in celebrities taking random payday gigs doing commercials for the sorts of things that, a few years ago, they only would've done for a Super Bowl ad.
My theory has been a lot of financial advisors are telling them to get paid now before the big collapse.

Once again thinking about every actor trying to justify taking the money for the new HP series.

I love this and it makes me sad at the same time.
Art and culture; what the humanities at large concern themselves with, have always been essential to solving problems in the “real world” but because this can almost never be measured, they continue to be deemed expendable.

One of the most infuriating things about LLMs is that it is a genuinely interesting and useful piece of technology, that has been sold to a bunch of rapacious execs as something it is not, who have then insisted on shoving it into every application where it is not needed nor wanted
Mind-blowingly cool use of AI

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Crazy how the dog that deserves to win the National Dog Show is whatever you had as a kid.
Moreover, the Newfoundland was robbed of the working breeds title this year.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
