HOT TACO SANDWICHES!
I see the confusion here… You think playing music is something one does to get fame and money. What you’re describing is a content creator, in which case I can see why having an overpriced toy that makes songs for you would be appealing.
For the record I have, in fact, played for a number of audiences and even recorded several albums with various bands that I’ve been in over the years. I’m sure you wouldn’t have heard any of them because they never really made it beyond the local scene. I’m perfectly fine with that though, because I didn’t make them to be famous. I made them because I enjoy the creative process involved in songwriting and performance, because I’m a musician.
Ah, just going straight into troll mode now huh? That’s too bad, I was enjoying our conversation…
I have been playing guitar for nearly 20 years. My family has never been rich, which meant I got the most affordable guitar available (which cost MUCH less than an iPad even accounting for inflation) when I started.
I knew absolutely nothing about how to play it and taught myself for the first year from stuff I found in magazines. When it became apparent that I wasn’t going to just abandon the thing in the closet my parents agreed to get me lessons for this costly sum of $25 a week.
Since then I have have scrimped and saved to get nicer instruments when I could afford them, and they mean a lot to me so I take care of them and play them often.
When making music becomes reduced to a game from WHICHEVER app store, it loses all meaning because there is zero invested in it. I’m sure there will be a few people who actually manage to make real music this way despite the limitations, but for most people it will just be a toy they lose interest in like Candy Crush or something.
If it were easy to play decent music then everyone in the world would have a top 10 hit
So the solution to that is to only make paint-by-numbers music that Apple will allow you to make with their pre approved apps? That sounds like a good way to end up with a lot of mediocre easily digestible music that all sounds the same…
Ignoring things like this is how we’ve ended up with an entire generation of people who Apple thinks are either too lazy or too stupid to create art or music on their own.
Note that I am not calling anyone lazy or stupid, I’m just stating Apple thinks this is a desirable outcome and is pushing forward with that plan
Very true! Good point! I’m sure Elon would be much happier if we all collectively agreed that he is the new God King lol
So… Do you care to explain further or should we just sign up based on this static image you posted?
It’s at -7 right now lol
For someone who supposedly hates communism he seems to be really pushing hard for anyone who is not at least a millionaire owning no private property of their own lol
Here’s the article. Basically he wants to steal computing power from privately owned vehicles when they are sitting idle and then pay those car owners nothing for the power consumption.
In other words he wants to hijack your Tesla’s cpu and make YOU pay for the privilege
That makes it all the more strange that he would do something like this that absolutely reeks of desperation
I don’t get why people are doing this crap with AI dead celebrities… It’s basically like admitting up front that you’re not talented enough for anyone to give a shit about you on your own lol
Are you a poor CEO in need of more income? Just fire ALL of your employees and run the whole company your damn self since you think it’s so easy! Now you get 100% of the profits! GREAT SUCCESS!!!
He did prove one thing, and that is that rich people legitimately think anyone who has less money than they do is just lazy. Even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary and his own failure the article seems to imply that he still thinks that is the case lol guess he didn’t learn anything at all…
He really needed those last 2 ounces of beer
My doctor said I should avoid BIG-DIKO. Thanks for your concern though!
Nah that’s ok. You should definitely do that on your own though! Let us know how it works out for you…
So now instead of “we have an algorithm to suggest what you might like” it’s turning into “you’ll watch what we tell you and like it, and good luck trying to find anything else”
