Over the top Wild West drama. Almost Tarantino-esque. Portrays Bingham Young’s Mormons as villains on par with Nazis in Indiana Jones.

One of the biggest blockchain dev educators on youtube is pivoting to AI. Says he's tired of waiting for crypto to be about more than gambling and scams.

Feeling Farcon FOMO. Hope everyone has a great time.
I really want to know how to make graphics like this. Any artists here think they can do it? Willing to pay.
My studio computer CPU has been overheating while I’m trying to finish songs.
Hopefully this will do the trick. Thing weighs as much as a cat. 😂

Are any politicians doing something about this?
The headline isn't an exaggeration. They analyzed 52 cadaver brains over a decade. Plastics increased 50%, and the avg amount in each brain was 7g. 😐

Was just reminded of one of my fav music docs. It’s a 2-part series and the other is on Krautrock. The geopolitical context is super fascinating.

60 Minutes exec producer resigned rather than bending to pressure from bosses. Kudos to the producer, but horrible for democracy & journalism.

Anyone have a good solution for backing up gmail history? I want to be prepared for the worst.
Requirements:
- Can backup to Dropbox
- Everything stays encrypted
- App's permissions are limited to just reading (every service I've found asks for edit & delete)

For a long time, melody has been getting gradually supplanted by sound design (timbre) as a focus in music. The theory is melody is finite but timbre is infinite.
I think the root cause is tech accelerating creation & distribution, which makes the production of novelty more competitive. 🎶

This was made ~30 years ago via command line. Each sound's properties had to be individually described using a scripting language.

Really inspired by this new Weval track. Banger but still musically sophisticated. Rave hit of the summer.
If anyone hasn't heard them, I highly recommend their whole catalog. Most of it is more chill & introspective.

This is head of the FCC, Brendan Carr.
He helped author Project 2025 and is against net neutrality. He’s wearing a gold Trump broach in the style of jewelry worn by political cults throughout history.
The FCC regulates virtually all communications in the USA.

Surely the conservative freedom-loving crypto bros are up in arms about this, right?

Anyone know of good comparison of the pros and cons of UBI as a solution to job automation, as opposed to sovereign wealth funds?
I keep hearing very smart people only talk about UBI.

Can anyone recommend any books, essays, podcasts, etc that make the best case for why humanity needs AGI/ASI?

I keep getting reminded of this when learning about recent AI trends. Making me want to reread it.
TLDR is we have two types of thinking.
Type 1 - automatic, emotional, fast
Type 2 - methodical, logical, slow
It also lays out all the ways we "hallucinate": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases

Art & music tend to be better when the economy is bad. So we got that going for us…which is nice.
Great point I just heard:
The theory that tariffs will reshore manufacturing only works if companies have ironclad guarantees policies will remain consistent for years. Otherwise they're being asked to invest in Trump's dumb authoritarian whims.

Big silver lining to the engineered market crash is it’s reminding wealthy people how important a functioning democracy is.

It's incredible how little journalists are questioning the narrative that tariffs will only create "short-term pain", as if reversing trends established over decades could be short-term process.
History will judge everyone who let this happen.
