Ffs, haven’t even finished my morning coffee and had to block two “artists” already. One for parotting Russia propaganda that Russia invading a country is somehow not Russia’s fault and one for spamming meaningless “news” items all the time. Ah well, it least it cleans up the timeline. :)

Just checking if you've got anything for me to put on the release overview tomorrow, since next week is a Bandcamp Friday and all that... 🧐

There's three general ways to react when you see someone else's success. 1. Positive praise and encouragement. 2. Silent respect. 3. Jealous rage and smearing. It is up to how you want to behave, but I know the sorts of people I want in my circles. A rising tide floats all ships!

Shop local. Everyone welcome 🤝

Hey, musicians, If you have a place you actually SELL, not stream, your work: Quote this and link that shit.

Thursday evening Mojito. Let’s just say they’re not skimping on the alcohol, damn!

A few questions for producers: How much do you follow music trends? Is it like omg I love this genre let’s try making it? Or, hmmm this genre seems popular let’s make that? Do you chase money, popularity or just making it out of pure love? Be honest!

Saw (ab)use of an Ultra HDR Gain Map for the first time today in a LinkedIn profile pic. Looked cool tbh (white parts of image pop out of your screen with higher brightness than you set the screen to), but I hope it doesn't become a trend. I use lower brightness for a reason (easier on the eyes).

I just learned that Oracle, which is shoveling unbelievable amounts of cash into getting everybody to use LLMs, also has a policy forbidding contributors to OpenJDK from using LLMs to generate code, citing code quality, security, and legal concerns: openjdk.org/legal/ai

On the nose. And gave me a chuckle.

I suppose it you've been constipated your whole life, diarrhea might feel like a blessed relief... at first. Those around you probably feel differently. (Yes, this is an analogy)

Shocking your own dog is not something you make a joke out of. It’s animal abuse. That this needs to be explained….WTF

The most shocking/important part, IMO is not the headline. It’s this: An estimated 450.000 people in NL suffer from long COVID. On a population of 18 million or so, that’s 2.5%! That’s a crazy amount and there should be way more attention for this than it is getting now.

Apparently, for Gemini conversations, work is about 13.5% of total usage. Note that enterprise usage is where AI companies make money and 'enterprise' is a subset of 'work'. Reality is that most folks that use GenAI use it for day-to-day personal stuff and that's not where the money is.

Coté@cote.io · last wk.

Google looked at 15 million Gemini conversations: mostly TV, homework, and government paperwork. Work is only 13.5% of it, and almost none of that is trying to automate anything: cote.io/2026/07/29/h...

Hiya - I’ve been doing this music lark & putting out records, tapes,CDs and playing live pretty consistently now for nearly 3 bloody decades! And most of you still ain’t got a clue what I do!! I’m gonna try and do a bit of an overview of all my projects - from kings have long arms to some of my most

This account has way too few followers, go do something about that! #musicsky bsky.app/profile/muzi...

Any rules, guidelines, guard rails etc. you supply to your LLM are just additional context. They’re not actual constraints. They’re fed into the probability machine along with all the other context. The LLM may respect them, or not. No guarantees there.

Jon Ayre@jonayre.uk · last wk.

On controlling AI: If your "strong constraints and guardrails" come in the form of context and prompts, you have no constraints or guardrails. What you have are hopes and prayers. LLMs don't follow instructions; they regenerate and recombine contextually appropriate tokens.

Sunset and the 707 on my balcony. :)

Found the perfect parking spot. 😂

Humidity went from 68% to 35% overnight. Together with the wind, the perceived temperature is down a lot, even though actual temp is up.

👇100% this.

The internet we love is still here. It's covered in dust and silt and sliding into the substrate of everything. But it'll be here long after Meta and TikTok and Instagram. Built on people.

Give me a list of words to mute that are related to... American politics. If I dont see your reply I have already muted it.

As @monkchips.com always says: Good morning, skitches! Hope y’all have a lovely day!
