To sum up, AI is going to replace us, but love is what you need and the machine cannot do that. Oh boy, trad wives are going to own this new world now, from the height of their husband made sofas, and the intellect of The advertising megacompany telling them what to think.

He's talking ounces, I really doubt the guy is taking ristretto. Surely he's not from Italy!

Force yourself to use the same paper journal you carry around. Keep writing whatever comes in your mind, literally everything. Re-read the last day at day's end. Mitigation tecnique to empty your brain, leaving trails.

My eternal issue with paper is that it's not always physically on me. A phone, however, is.

GDocs/a wiki have actually worked well, though I don't do the re-reading. Just crapping it out into a known place works pretty well.

You getting old, so you only get to know mainstream artists, and indies cannot get popular because of how the internet centralizes things, and avoids making indies have real world experiences together and gain traction.

Are you joking? Some mainstream artists got their start on YouTube. Many indie artists perform there and have followings, and that is just one potential site to share your work. Sure, to become a household name you gotta grow from there and it is a tough road, but the ability to put out your music is crazy stronger today than in days of yore. I think you have an overly high bar set for what it means to "get popular"

We are talking protest music, and... still, like 0.01% of youtube artists actually earn any money from making music nowadays.

What about starting with no venture capitalist, growing from small, setting up a sustainable business, and not play the enshittifying game? Would that be more, or less real?

Great idea, great pricing. I'm not a macos user and we use a custom CI. I'd like to build something homemade for my case.

Are we talking about the extreme right wing guy once again?

I'd say yes. If Hacker News is free, it makes no sense to have "ads" to buy news subscriptions. I won't buy a subscription for ALL the paywalled sites: NYTimes, Atlantic, Bloomberg, whatever. If it's posted here it's either free to read or useless

Baker. Very phisical job, night hours, but it's creative and you really make something with your hands. Wonderful.

This is an unsaid truth! So many bosses and product owners waste money, purpose and skill, and it doesn't really matter how hard you create features and work like crazy, when hire too much, spend on wrong things, enshittify the product or do the wrong acquisition.
