    It almost sounds like he's delineating that point in 2013 as a change in human devolution. I can imagine Ai could take up the slack in human culture, if we end up in an Idiocracy type society, but mobile phone-based self identities could also lead to human population drops, as mobile phones have infiltrated the entire world now.

    kinda not relevant w/human population i think. birth rates in decline all over except a few places. the poison we're putting in the earth is in our bodies and killing all the baby making parts. 

    edit: unless thinking it'll just make things worse for sperm counts because the hot new trend of the boil the balls challenge?

    What's on those Ipads? The small screen looks like it's running AUM. 

    Are they doing the mixing with the iPads now? That is cool 

    was thinking maybe it's a mixer display/controller interface for the recorder.

    ae recording their jams into a $10k digital recorder that does 192/whatever on a billion tracks should instantly win 2024’s Most IDM award imo

    another current contender for most IDM 2024

    It's over for him when he releases the robots but you still can't fuck them. People could tolerate failinh to deliver the self driving car stuff, but his fans are not going to accept unfuckable robots.

    there might be enough incels in america to buy unfuckable robots that the company will survive. of course, it depends on how much they cost and if their moms will let them have one in the basement.

    So we're better informed now. But actual conversations and socialising are harder, because its much harder to have a fun/interesting conversation and much easier to have a safe/boring one.

    ymmv of course but i find that it's the same as ever. there are people who can think for themselves, have "original thoughts" and there are people who are informed by some variety of mass opinions who rarely have an original thought. i still encounter plenty of people who have 'the gift of gab' and can shoot the shit about anything until my social gas tank is empty... i do wonder what the ratio of introverted vs extroverted person out there in the wild. i still am quite introverted and prefer small groups and one on one interactions.

    there is in the USA a mass culture though that's of various varieties and there's still the entitled groups who are sheltered and can exist in a bubble of school -> university -> job and not really leave that bubble world. classic "never had an original thought in their lives" kind of people.  

    but also, being in a diverse group there's going to be people with very different life experiences who will challenge the common narrative of a group... much to the group's annoyance some times.

    ...obsessed with this band last few days.

    i was super obsessed with the video version of Sports.. enough to rip it from youtube. tennis ball noises and all.  the pace/vibe of it is way different than what they play live and what's on the album. 

    and this live version of research chemicals is tops. also ripped it from youtube because the vibe.
