There is a giant anvil dangling above the tech industry Ft. Ed Zitron

We also run the numbers on how many images you would need to generate per day on Grok to bankrupt X, and whether Elon Musk will go out like David Carradine or Budd Dwyer.

I'm glad it's like... confirmed that Google actually does suck now? I tried to find a movie quote containing the word "shoe" and because of that the first SEVEN results were ads for Nike trainers. It's so hard to find anything even remotely obscure anymore, ESPECIALLY if it happens to contain a word that's connected to something popular. Then you're just fucked. You CAN still detektiven your way into finding a specific thing but it's MUCH much harder than before. Same with Youtube, same with websites who aren't owner by Google. You have to work AGAINST the algoritm and try to trick it into letting you find what you're looking for instead of it helping you. And when you try to skroll down to look in less popular searched you just get the same popular ones over and over again.

But as for the kind of hold music/fusion jazz stuff, I have been working on a series of about 5 or 6 similarly vibed songs (same style, sax licks etc) to rotate in and out for different things: content breaks, intros, outros, pre-streaming music for when we get on Twitch soon etc. I will release the whole thing on Spotify when it's done
