Get Your Dunkin' Friday

 The AI music debate is heating up. Diplo caused a stir, telling producers and musicians alike to accept that AI is here and it's not going away. He said it more crassly because he's a prick. I think he's right and he's really wrong. As someone who has produced several records (long, long ago), I did so when ProTools was talked about similarly to AI. The critics said it sounded different; they could tell the difference, and it took away the need for engineers. Well, two of those turned out to be true. You still need engineers. To this day, both Analog and ProTools still exist and co-exist. There are benefits to both depending on the sound you want. Some compare the use of AI to sampling, and while I empathize with that, I don't think that's right. Sampling was inspirational, showcased creativity, style, and sparked a revolutionary musical movement. AI music is being sold as "SEE ANYONE CAN WRITE SONGS, SINGERS AREN'T NEEDED, I DON'T NEED MUSICIANS." I think that's why most creatives hate it, it's slop. Do I think AI can eventually be useful to producers? Sure. As for the moment, I'm hesitant. Music is art. And let's be honest, so far, AI has yet to prove it can create; it simply copies. Its peak is possibly as a tool in the process of making real music. 

Here are your highlights: 

ICE Director to step down. Send him to the Hague. 

Allergies getting worse? It's Climate Change. 

Tylenol doesn't cause autism. I'll take "No shit, Sherlock for $500, Alex."

Dear Podbros, stop normalizing Tucker Carlson. That's what got us in trouble with Trump. 

Progressive Democrat, Analilia Meja, wins special election in New Jersey. 

Trump and his shitposters lost the meme war to Iran. And it looks like he'll lose even more.

Get Your Dunkin' Wednesday

 Bibi is a war criminal. Every day the war in Gaza goes on, we find out about more atrocities. It's unconscionable. I'm not sure how Israel ever returns from this. It seems most agree with it. Regardless, something has to be done, but the world leaders are feckless.  I head to Chicago soon for my surgery. I don't know how I'll feel and when I'll be posting regularly again. Wish me luck.  Here are your highlights: Trump's attempted takeover of DC is exactly what dictators do.  Soap recall. I have a feeling we'll see a lot of recalls under Trump .  You can no longer trust job reports .  They're going after history as we know it. Smithsonian is now under attack .  Stop eating octopus .  Ending gay marriage has been on the GOP radar since it was legalize d. It's shameful. But hey, at least you can date ChatGPT. Marry teenage girls. And defend a pedo president!  I am Frank Chow and I approve this message
