"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

One complaint I have about Qobuz isn't even Qobuz fault.
But often my purchased track are removed shortly after purchase.
The DMCA trolling is so bad that Qobuz has to prunt a warning that you download your tracks ASAP after purchase.
That said i can't find better services than Qobuz and Bandcamp.
My biggest complaint is they act like everyone in Belgium speaks French. And you can't choose your language for either communication or interface, they base it of country. So despite being part of a majority of Dutch speakers, I get everything in French, including French language artists.
Still worth it though.
Wait is that why qobuz's library is a bit lacking? Why do they have so many DMCA takedowns?
I presume it's a similar licensing to tv shows. They get a conditional license for a short period of time and then it's revoked and theyre forced to comply.
I totally understand taking down the store listing. But if I already bought the music, I expect to be able to download them again in perpetuity.
I wish more musicians could / would reject record labels and publish independently.
