They’ve thought about that too, and see training as vital where others before them have failed. Also OS and programs will look somewhat similar to what users are used to, from what I can recall.

Producing documents or e-mails can’t be that functionally different, right? Many don’t need much more than that. However, I could see integration of third-party software as a challenge, but one that in most cases could be easily overcome.

That’s a GREAT idea. Why don’t you start us off?

Yeah same, I transferred all my reads to Bookwyrm a while ago and it’s pretty cool. The search function isn’t as good as Goodreads’, but openlibrary also helps.

Yeah, I mean… it’s from, like, 1997 or something?

The music scene in general was different back then, and DnB was no exception. This was 15 years before streaming, which gave us access to all the world’s music in an instant. I remember when a shop would have MixMag with a mix cd from a DJ I had remotely heard of… I would play them over and over. Not to mention music production without computers. Vinyl only mixes.

DnB, like dubstep after it, was also considered a local scene in London first, England second. Some big players would gatekeep what they considered “their” scene, not playing tunes from outsiders on their pirate radio shows and the like.

But it’s fascinating tracing origins and the evolutions of musical styles over time. DnB came from Jungle, which has had a bit of a revival in the recent years, and the heyday of jungle is considered to be just a part of 1994. If you want to check out what that is like today, I would recommend putting on Coco Bryce’s Boiler Room Amsterdam mix: https://youtu.be/pjAWLu7UTBM

But broken beat, acid jazz, rave… it’s all part of a culture. Some great music from that era. DnB is best experienced in a mix IMHO, but there are a lot of great tunes which are solid by themselves as well.

For a good mix, I would recommend Calibre’s mix from the same Boiler Room session. He is one of the greatest. Link: https://youtu.be/LuB29bL2kyI

Also dBridge is a personal favourite of mine. He was part of Bad Company, and their tune “the Nine” still gives me goosebumps.

Also listen to Goldie’s Timeless from start to finish. Time well spent.

Looked like an air-burst munition of sorts? I thought that hit was the hit labelled as use of cluster munition and was readying my downvote, but then the next two was shown and yeah… clusters alright.

Oh man, this tune just never gets old. Still one of my favourite tunes to this day

That stuff exists online is not really a legitimate basis for copying it. Reading or other forms of consumption sure, but copying — no. The whole piracy debacle was centered around this.

Not posting stuff online isn’t really an alternative either. Such a big part of our lives are digital these days. All the way from what news we consume to stay up to date in our everyday lives, how we discuss current topics such as this one, how we can stay connected to our friends, how we met potential partners and heck even how we watch porn.

Or how big part of these examples do you think people read actual newspapers, discuss and debate current topics offline, how many old friends from high school do we keep in touch without using social media, how many dates do we go on off dating apps or how many watch porn dvds do we pop on when the need arises?

When I post something online, say a trip report on my personal travel blog, does that mean I consent to ie Google using my intellectual property for training their LLM? My answer is a resounding no.

I’m not at all versed in IP law, but I can’t fathom how using all available data online for development of a commercial product can be considered fair use of this data, or as really any other legal basis.
