Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

In 2014, Apple had the genius idea to give all 500 million iTunes users a free U2 album. I haven't heard shit from U2 since then

lol the U2 defenders have found this and are annoyed. Yes okay they're still very popular and cool, remember to take your multivitamin

The Orb scanned them. 30 yrs later, the band U2 will wake up in the bottom of the ocean and will be talked into launching the Ark

'unmemorable'? I'm a massive U2 fan and I have no recollection of any of the songs at all, just the irritation of having an album hurled at me, irrespective of who it was by. Maya Angelou again.

Not a U2 fan by any means, but just a couple years ago they were the first band to play The Sphere which actually looked cool. I mean the venue seems like a massively expensive gimmick. But besides all that I'm totally with you.

That was also around the point at which Apple more strongly pivoted iTunes/Music to a digital store front because everybody said "fuck that" and found media players that didn't force U2 into their library. You can find hardcore U2 fans that haven't listened to it.
