"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

My tailored recommendations didn't come to me until like a week later but they were kindof shit. And their library is also shit.
The past year I was using Spotube with the ListenBrainz recommendation engine (want to avoid proprietary services), but it hasn't been updated in months and today it finally shit the bed. So now back to looking for alternatives. I came across some self-hosted ListenBrainz integrations with torrent/soulseek but they're way more complex than Spotube and I can't set that up right now for various reasons.
