Gah, Suno (an AI music service) acquired Songkick (a human in person music service).
What should I use for concert alerts instead now?

@jcoglan@mastodon.social Yes they did - the K/V cache. And prices are cheaper if your subsequent queries with the same prefix are within time that that stays in memory on the server.
Agreed it is extremely inefficient, and mostly LLMs are better if you do controlled prompts with JSON output, rather than long conversation threads. But people are pushed into the long threads by the standard harnesses. That is a waste!

@flup Songkick was so lovely - I saw lots of music live with it over the last 10 or 15 years, some very meaningful to me.
And I assumed their business model was viable as they get referral money for *quite expensive tickets* that I was buying. But seemingly not... It makes no sense.

@flup Yes! Looking at the Songkick Wikipedia article, there is lots of messiness with Ticketmaster (again, gah!) and Warner involved too that happened now long ago.

@craignicol do they do concert notifications yet?
I'm looking at them to replace Spotify too. How good for that?
