Is there a streaming model that better supports artists, has a large catalog of music, and is reasonably affordable?

Proof?

It might be bad but their stocks went up significantly today…

Intel’s stock, not Stellantis they are down bad.

Should have 5 years ago. Mostly cause fuck disney, but I get why you had it.

It was more than that. I’m 1996 round trip tickets were 7500, about 12000 in today’s dollars. I can get a round trip ticket under 400 bucks today for NYC to LHR. So it wasn’t 3x, but 30x the price.

And most are willing to pay less even if it’s a 6 hour flight.

They will implement it, they are just trying different methods until one sticks.

I was at a party with a small group of friends recently. We were all talking in a group and then one guy started watching tik/insta/whatever with the volume on. Everyone kinda looked at each other like wtf? I asked our friend if he wanted to borrow my headphones to watch that. He took the hint and rejoined the conversation. I still was gobsmacked someone would do that while hanging out with people.

What’s the loudest sound in the jungle?

A giraffe eating cherries.

Snapchat works, but messages take minutes to send and receive.

You think they spend 400000 on coffee? You lost me there.

After looking at their number of employees and some math, I could actually see that as plausible.

But I’m an aspiring artist, without pirating thousands of movies and TV shows, I’ll never make my ‘highly profitable’ magnum opus!

I feel like a dick for saying it, but it felt like a reddit “thanks for the gold” thing. Also, while downvotes may show your opinion doesn’t align with a community, it doesn’t necessarily mean you shouldn’t have the opinion or it’s wrong. Though it at least deserves reflection of you aren’t trolling and respect that community.

1- you’re on Lemmy, that’s gonna be a common view and not get down votes 2- who cares if you do? Is it worth mentioning? Is it worth me writing this comment?

Not to mention it’s usually dog shit out put

So now it just has to use every conversation that happens as a data set. They could use microphones from all over the world to listen and learn and understand better…

Could be the other way as well. Prepare to become carbon neutral in order to have less tax burden. But once that fell though, they didn’t care again. The only way they will be carbon neutral is if governments make it more expensive for them to not be.

This goes away further than a thought

Even if the AI didn’t train itself on actual CSAM that is something that feels inherently wrong. Your mind is not right to think that’s acceptable IMO.

That’s sickening to know there are bastards out there who will get away with it since they are only creating it.
