If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by.

Splitting words so as to break the force of the laws; confounding names so as to change what had been definitely settled; practising corrupt ways so as to throw the government into confusion: all guilty of these things were put to death.

Keep your safety in mind and don't make loud statements for which you might go to the places not-so-far-from-here, because there you will help no one.

@augustus @sun @phnt but it takes a lot of knowledge to even know that means. People really underestimate how silo'd knowledge is, and how deep other fields can be. There are entire technologies like MIDI which everyone could be using all the time, but only musicians use, because non-musicians are oblivious to it. No gamedev making a spaceship game ever thinks: "hey what if I support cheap control surfaces with assignable knobs and wheels and faders? It's technically super easy and very tactile and immersive!" Try to push that and the best you get is a NIH proprietary joystick.

What is singing "in key" and how can you even tell if someone is in key or not? Where is the C on a keyboard? How long should songs be? Is this mix good or bad? What is a 'mix'? What do you mean this progression sounds 'unresolved'??
>don't worry about composition 'rules' or 'guidelines', just think about where your music wants to go

REAL statements made by REAL music youtubers

You can actually be middle-aged and start from zero in something that everyone knows and kids are already self-taught experts in. Which is nice in a way, after having been that self-taught kid expert in a different field.

@sun @phnt AI's the most exciting for people who have already reduced other humans to what AI can do. Fire most your programmers and instead have huge teams of brainless code monkeys loosely wrangled by the surviving actual programmers? Then you're absolutely blown away: AI can totally replace these people that you've boxed into being cheap and replaceable!

No surprise that this long downward slope in permitted human performance wasn't only in programming, but it's sad everywhere it happens.
