Once you see the connection between LLMs and psychics / seances / spiritualism, it’s hard to unsee. At the center: people •want• to believe, and that is powerful. Thinking of modern-day SV, listen to some of the stories of how con artists used spiritualism…

An interesting musical curio is Sting's original demo for Every Breath You Take (he turned up to Synchronicity sessions with fully-formed demos of most of his stuff; the bellwether for the end of The Police). Andy Summers absolutely hated it, until he wrote *that* guitar part and the rest is history. #music

It's finally time. After years of deliberation, #Minetest is finally ready to adopt a new identity and prove it has moved beyond its original purpose. We can finally move past the "mining" and the "testing" and focus on making this platform the best it can be.

@Alice I like this
@HebrideanHecate Rather embarrassingly they have put these cultures on a pedestal.
@HebrideanHecate I had to read 'slave market' twice. There is an economic system around selling people there. In 2024.

@nigelharpur @kibcol1049 My brother in law worked in a rehearsal and equipment studio as a backline tech. He said much the same thing.
@nigelharpur @kibcol1049 The music biz can be weird. A lot of dysfunctional people in it and i can see how someone no-nonsense would rub everyone up the wrong way, but at the same time, mean is mean.
@nigelharpur @kibcol1049 I was told she is Democratic. She treats everyone terribly.
@kibcol1049 I had a family member in the music biz. I have heard many, many things about Sharon Osbourne, none of them good.
@Mitsu Also the morning they arrived I set off my heart monitor due to going into tachycardia due to all the sugar, haha
@Mitsu When I was in hospital for a week my sister sent me a whole box full of UK chocolate and treats. The nurses would come in the middle of the night and plunder my chocolate hob nobs.
@hlesesne Ha, the solution is to go and fuck yourselves.
