Artists are clear on what we want: fair pay from streaming, no investment in war technology, protections against AI, an end to pro-rata deals, and transparency for artists across all aspects of streaming. Daniel Ek stepping down fulfills zero of those demands.

Q: There's compelling proof that antifa did infiltrate on January 6 dressed up like Trump supporters and incited violence. Is that something you'd like the new J6 committee to look at?

TRUMP: Well I've heard that. Yeah. We will be acting on some of that.

The idea that Rinderknecht wanted to start a huge fire because he liked that song is contradicted by the fact that the feds say he tried to call 911 several times immediately after the fire started.

Right now the app forces users to share their videos with a watermark like tiktok but that can always be cropped out. It’s going to be real important for us to be able to be able to identify what’s real and what’s not on the internet real soon.

If you see a “Sora” logo in a video it’s ai full stop. Sora is Open ai’s new text to video model that turns prompts into video and they look realistic as hell! Educate your gullible friends on how to identify ai from “real” content.
