My new album comes out today! Links will be available very soon!

I'm very much looking forward to discovering this one! I was really delighted playing the first TOEM.

If you have a "system" to make a music track, are you even an artist?

My new album is coming out soon

I just had a realization about my approach to solving problems: to always start with the simplest possible solution and work my way up on the tree of complexification until the solution works.

When I see that picture, I can't help but think they should cast Matthew Rhys for the TV adaptation.

I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin... The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.

Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12

This is how you do it

Some of my IRL friends think that I overreact when it comes to my general aversion towards LLM-based AI. And then there are articles like this one that shows that we are actually not reacting enough: aftermath.site/ai-education...

Using AI to generate images is NOT art. Pass it on.

Silly upset of the morning: seeing an event branded as "live electronic" and it's all fucking DJs...

Fucking stop using fucking Spotify just fucking stop. There are no excuses. If you're an indie artist and you prop up Spotify because you think it helps you you're part of the problem. Stop using it to listen. Stop using it to host your music.

We’re live. Two years ago, we released a plan. Today, our collectively owned music platform is open. Explore. Support artists directly. Join the co-op. It’s only the beginning. Sincerely Ours, Subvert

Received my collector copy of UFO 50 on the Switch this morning. Today is a good day 🙂

To me, Josh Wink is to the 3rd of March what Jeff Mills is to the 9th of September.

Received a nice thanks letter from @increpare.bsky.social after testing his coming game. I hope my meager contribution was a bit useful. Although I'm pretty bad at it, I still think it's a cool game made with care and I wish it all the best!

There is no sound, image, or visual that can be generated by genAI that is worth more than the value of having an actual person create a comparable sound, image, or visual of the same intention.

It's BANDCAMP FRIDAY Musicians get all the money you spend on their music today on Bandcamp! Post your project as a reply, let's get a thread going! What kind of music is it and where can we find it?

Bought! Hope people can support as well. We need more voices like this!

Just a clarification: AI doesn't lie but it doesn't tell the truth either.

If you're reading this and you're in charge of AI: The term AI is actually used by videogames already, you're going to have to call it something else

That window of Overton is moving very fast. Too fast.

Yes yes yes yes www.theguardian.com/music/2025/s...

Every artist I’ve ever known has this itch to create that won’t go away until they create. They have to do it. It’s why I know the “finally, someone like me can make art” AI users are full of shit. What they really mean is “finally, a way to get social media likes without hard work”.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.
