Fyi our album is now on streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple, Youtube, etc) under Constellation ATX.

If anything, it’s cringe rather than sneer-inducing. But fun anyway.

Most of the time, if I’m listening to anything, it’s a playlist of Boards of Canada on shuffle - usually while I work.

Otherwise, my music taste is pretty stalled these days wrt new music. Unwound got back together and I saw a couple of their shows, one in LA and another in Austin. The Blood Brothers also reunited and I have a ticket to see them in Dec. Melt-Banana just released a new album I haven’t listened to yet.

My friend’s band, Yuppie Killer, released their discography on streaming sites. They’re a hardcore punk band of expats in South Korea from 2012-2017.

I play in a band, Constellation, and we’re sending our first album to be mastered this week. Kind of throwback to 90’s post-hardcore like Fugazi (yeah, we got cowbell) and Drive Like Jehu. Really excited about it.

There’s currently a loud minority of EAs saying that EA should ostracize people if they associate with people who disagree with them.

people who disagree with them.

Oh, it’s racists. The vague description is because it’s racists. It’s a woke cult now because some people don’t want to associate with racists.

Before we accidentally make an AI capable of posing existential risk to human being safety

It’s cool to know that this isn’t a real concern and therefore in a clear vantage of how all the downstream anxiety is really a piranha pool of grifts for venture bucks and ad clicks.

A year and two and a half months since his Time magazine doomer article.

No shut downs of large AI training - in fact only expanded. No ceiling on compute power. No multinational agreements to regulate GPU clusters or first strike rogue datacenters.

Just another note in a panic that accomplished nothing.

Really feels like he wants to say something but too scared to commit.

genital inspectors, but Rationally tee em

I mean, I agree with the sentiment behind the sarcasm, but also feel the same way about the internet in general. Sometimes it’s learning the same lesson in a new context. But Roko’s basilisk though? Quite a cliff.

Bro believed the Nvidia hype and came out as a doomer lmao.
