It’s a normal technology, and perhaps it’s time we start talking about it that way.”

Bobby Brainworms comes to San Diego to make homelessness remediation as successful as the war in Iran and fixing the reflecting pool.

Every token has a price. The problem is that most AI systems don’t reveal the bill until they reach production.

Welcome to Listening Habits, a column where I share the music and musical topics I’ve been fixated on recently.
