I think this will tie in with updates to the CDR legislation coming soon. These digital wallets hide a lot of data from the banks. Bringing them under banking legislation allows banks to pull CDR data from the wallets as a condition of use.

You mention your discover weekly. Do you know how that algorithm works? It suggests songs that you have not played, that other people who played songs that you played. It’s the same positive feedback loop. It’s songs already popular that it promotes to be played more. Which makes them more popular so it recommends them more. And thus you end up with the most steamed artists only making 15% of the content.

Does it work? Passably. For the majority, mostly generic listeners. Is it a fair way to structure a platform and to dispense payments? No. A great business model however.

If you make a great song, and Dua Lipa makes a crap song, which one would be featured and added into playlists by Spotify’s algorithms? It’s not a level playing field. It doesn’t promote content that isn’t already popular.

Which is mostly due to Spotify’s playlist and algorithms. Which fall victim to the positive feedback loop issue. Those popular artists are suggested, promoted, and played more frequently so more people hear them and thus play them more. It’s not a level playing ground. It’s a self generating walled garden of artists.

95% of the royalty pool goes to 200000 artists who generate 15% of the content. Sounding less fair the more you look at it.

Language is not disassociation.

Not really. The LLMs use tokens instead of actual words to understand the words. There’s a layer of disassociation. That’s different to taking pre existing knowledge, understanding it, and using it to divine more knowledge.

Yep. We do need more though.

I’d agree with you if we were already producing enough renewables. Since we need to triple the current renewable market just to hit 1.5, I don’t agree with resources going elsewhere until we are on track there.

To prevent exceeding the 1.5 celsius increase, we need to triple the current uptake of renewables. I can extinguish a candle and say its carbon negative, however it’s not really going to help. We can look at other carbon reducing technology after the immediate requirement for renewable installations. I’m all for that, but right now, it’s just taking money time and resources away from renewables when we can’t afford any delay.

Carbon capture has had trillions and decades and still can’t reach reasonable efficiency rates. Certainly real world performance is nowhere near what it would need to be to make a contribution to the environment.

The companies investing in CCS are the companies mining fossil fuels and natural gas. They are using CCS to divert funding away from renewables and to greenwash their current mining operations. In most cases the material captured is used in further mining operations. Like a 2xdmg to the environment bonus.

Yep, arresting a 47yo for smoking will be very on point for a broken clock.

Keep in mind, this will be policed only on poor ethnic minorities. Rich white guys in their private club s will still smoke with impunity.

The fact that this topic has no good algorithm experience, I question if it is good enough. I think the algorithms suffer from feedback loops.

It’s also a feedback loop. They suggest popular music, which exposes it to more people, which makes it seem more popular, which means it gets suggested more…

Find an elderly friend nearby you can share with?

That’s an opinion. You haven’t supplied any supporting data. And retiring reactors from age is not a qualification for “works well enough”. And renewables work well enough better.

What fact do you disagree with?

…is not an NFT

I prefer data based fact, but you can call it hootenanny for all I care. It doesn’t change the facts.

Lol, nuclear has had plenty of time and money. It doesn’t work. Renewables don’t have similar barriers and are the clear path forward.
