Attention farming in social media is like rice farming in feudal Japan:

every post is a grain,

both require endless cultivation for sustenance.

Super smart.

@spotify is promoting "New Year's Eve mixed playlists¹ ", using their new feature² that lets you control add customize transitions between tracks. 🪩

You can see columns for BPM and key in playlists that have been mixed.

(Also note the animated shine on the album artwork)

There’s something ironic about a book about AI safety, ethics, and society being narrated by Digital Voice Maxwell G.

Meta has acquired Limitless.ai.

Instantly Limitless changed its privacy policy and pulled its products from Brazil, China, the European Union, Israel, South Korea, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.

Spotify has a new “Relive the music behind Stranger Things” mini-promo.

It first shows clips from the Netflix series and then the music video of the music, with an overlay explaining the significance of the music.

Spotify is testing "Prompt Playlists: Prompt a playlist with specific cues and rules"

"Describe your perfect playlist, in as much detail as you want..."

I presume this technique underlies Daylists, but now it'll be available to all Premium subscribers.

First time I've seen a full-screen notification takeover on @spotify desktop.

Isn't this what their Updates feed is for? 🔔
