I keep waiting for Amazon to start generating AI-driven online profiles spouting Ai-driven selling points for AI-generated media.
It's the AI version of "Flood the zone with shit" except the entire internet is The Zone.
Those jerks. This show had such heart, characters you could personally invest in, gentle pacing, a real throwback to classic TV. Why do they keep doing this?
what's this? an anti-corporate message that sneers at cable TV companies??? CANCEL THAT SHOW!!!
that show was so amazingly prescient: the theme of the first episode was how advertising literally kills its viewers and the news covers things up. No wonder they didn't get renewed. ;)
allow me to rebut:
It feels like in most cases Apple is saying "I can do whatever the fuck I want and you won't remember a goddamn thing", like the lovely lady in that movie Memento.
Apple had a new phone out, they pushed a software update to slow down the old phones, and didn't tell anyone they did it: end of story. I remember the very day this happened, no word of a lie. For it to take this goddamn long to actually be financially accountable for doing this is a crime unto itself.
I wish I'd read this article before Social Media destroyed my soul. Oh well.
and hey, seeing as the soulless need music now more than ever: go listen to my band's second album! https://songwhip.com/thethreeleonards Even if your soul has also been lost to Social Media I'm sure there will be something you enjoy.
See? Only a soulless artist would plug their art this shamelessly. :)
"Space Doggity" by Jonathan Coulton still gets me. It's about Laika, the first dog in space. Also the first dog to not come back from space. Jonathan is a particularly genius songwriter and this one does not disappoint. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEXqLkj9J10
Our second album was released a week ago and we are already still not famous. Somehow. That will change once someone who picks songs for TV shows hears one of our mind-melting jazz-pop covers and is compelled to use it as an end-credit song. When that day comes, jeepers, it's gonna get wild.

This reminds me of the posts people used to make on FaceBook where they'd post a paragraph of text specifically denying FB/Meta the right to do anything with their personal data. It's well-intentioned, but it may not persuade a bot to ignore what you write.

Articles mentioning immigrants and "the housing crisis" have been all over Canadian media for well over a year. And by Canadian media I mean "U.S. owned media outlets operating within Canada." The narrative has stuck.
Our second album of covers, featuring Bette Davis Eyes, Your Woman, Slave To Love, and Toxic by Britney Spears. Feel the love, feel the warmth, feel the fun. Feel The Len.
I can't abide the idea of paying extra money for a separate device to plug in headphones to use a phone. That's like forcing people to buy a straw to drink their coffee because they're not allowed to drink it from a cup anymore.
