When jumping to #MapQuest, you might want to know who owns them.

The company's site describes it as "an Industry-leading omnichannel digital marketing platform, powered by Machine Learning and AI, that monetizes internet traffic by putting the right ads in front of the right people at the right time".

So... if you want to live a life as free of AI as possible, Linux is now not an option right? Am I understanding what's going on correctly here? Between distros and the kernel has that ship sailed?

@etherdiver@ravenation.club Exactly. One of my fondest memories is from my first show not opening for someone else. We had an audience of two - our significant others - until a random guy stumbled into the art space and listened for a while. I'll always remember that guy and wonder what he thought accidentally coming on a drone performance. Anyway... the point is we were playing because we loved it. Nothing else.

@etherdiver@ravenation.club It's baked into our culture. Back when you had to really search out new stuff, there was this metal head who berated me for being into hardcore and metal demo tapes. They weren't real to him. For me, that's where *the* real shit was happening! Hopefully, he grew out of that attitude.

I didn't expect to get online today and see news about the AI-ification of Ubuntu and Blender. I guess they'll be the last ones to rip it out after this fad, too?

@MelissaBearTrix cis male, mixed race, weirdo that had to survive in rural Texas. Let's just say I try to maintain constant situational awareness. I'm shocked that fewer cis females think of safety compared to cis males.

@mauro Still listening but I do hear the kid samples. I think they were intended to be creepy but they made me laugh for some reason. The "I Love You" sample had some interesting effects on it - which could seem overly processed cause it was laid on thick. I can see why I slept on this when it came out. I was heavily Autechre-pilled at that time and also getting more into ATR, Shizuo, and actual noise. The beats on Music Has seem like they would've been outdated in 1998.
