What I do like to see is a continued discussion on how to take back the internet in its current form. The cesspool of online bots and malicious corporate social spaces can be managed or avoided entirely with healthy practices, and yet you never see articles with step-by-step guidelines on how to do this. Instead, articles like this point out a few problems then give up.

Stop using social media entirely or find safe alternatives. Do not engage in online arguments. Control your viewing of political content and tailor your access towards specific trusted sources. Avoid any apps that use scrolling content feeds. Stop using your phone in bed. Lessen your phone use and restrict it to primarily phone calls and texts only.

Platforms could easily redesign their algorithms to stop promoting the most outrageous voices and prioritise more representative or nuanced content.

Corporations are not going to take actions that would benefit your health if it harms their engagement metrics. Bavel missed the mark on how the public should be actively fighting against late-stage capitalism.

Much love, Stillwater. Save that zesty spirit for when you need it. Keep living up to your name.

Nobody is asking you to like Beato but surely you didn’t join go through the effort of finding a niche community like Lemmy just to shit on things like in every other part of the internet.

What is a good non-pretentious music producer to you? How would you feel if a band you liked turned out to be AI generated? What would it mean for someone to be musically inspired by AI generated music? Give me something.

Spotify is definitely the app that turns 'we’ll pay you in exposure' into a business strategy. What is your preferred method of supporting musicians? Do you buy MP3s or CDs online?

Nice recommendation. It’s less upbeat but I’ll toss in The Dears as one of my favs.

 

Producer Rick Beato uses AI tools to identify and tear apart an AI generated band, Velvet Sundown, a band that mysteriously pops into Spotify and amasses a million listeners in a month, suggesting that Spotify will soon push AI bands for more listenership.
