iāve reccāed them here before but they make some unique tunes. a 3 piece from kentucky with a very off-kilter, very different funky introspective sort of thing going onā¦but the guitar riffs and basslines are still familiar enough to get behind. it was really hard to chose a link, so i chose my favorite release of theirs, but you can really start with anything. i also highly recommend the single ādreamsickleā :)

sometimes your favourite musicians are wholesome and kind enough to share the records they are currently bumping. s/o to āBathsā for putting me on to this band from NZ

they put out this awesome album theyād been working on for a while but didnāt really promo it too much because they stopped working on it at some point. but it still turned out pretty amazing. really stellar mix of genres throughout indie and electronic as they often do. i love w3bcam.

started writing this a few hours ago when i first saw this ask, then decided against posting but i've since changed my mind. there really is no justification for it outside of entitlement. even from a selfish lens, there's no long term benefit to its usage. it harms the world and culture in more ways than one.
a.) the water and energy usage that isn't a secret at this point. "no ethical consumption under capitalism" yadda yadda and yeah corporations are extremely culpable in the state of the environment but there really is no need for chatgpt and the planet is already too delicate at the moment.
b.) the exploitation of workers in the global south. this program is not just a computer figuring it all out, there are in fact humans behind it. it reminds me of the acceptance of fast fashion and how people have the tendency to divorce the idea of the garment worker from the garment they wear when all clothing is handmade in some way, shape or form. you need hands to man a sewing machine, you need human eyes to moderate content. also, content moderation can be a thankless job with psychological repercussions.
c.) the erosion of social skills, humanity and media literacy...this one is very personal. like, you have a cushy email job but can't write an email? you need a computer and a worker in kenya to get paid a dollar an hour to figure out a daily routine for you? i've seen the program churn out blatantly incorrect information. fine tuning a prompt or chat or whatever to give you the exact (possibly incorrect) answer you need isn't really that much less work than sharpening your research skills by cracking open a dictionary or using boolean search keys in google. again, the main issue with this kind of stuff is the entitlement to convenience, with no thought towards the repercussions within and outside of us. we are losing major recipes (critical thinking and media literacy) here, people!
i probably did an iffy job are coherently articulating my thoughts here but i am in fact, human. and thatās the beauty of it all.
