the next question is not only "what can I build now?" it is "what do I care enough about to understand, shape, and keep making better?"
this part doesn't change
Something I've noticed: a lot of folks automatically reject a message if they think AI wrote it. You don't need to trust the source of a message for it to contain useful knowledge. Build your discernment now - it will only become more vital, not less.
If you define yourself mostly in comparison to others you tend to only feel good by looking down. Your life constricts to those few inches others are "lower" than you. Life becomes so much sweeter when you instead learn to look up and see the beauty in the wide, open sky above.

When naming things, don't think about what to call them. Think about what you'd call the opposite, then the opposite of that. I don't know why this works, but it does.
What is a good response to this situation if you are the artist?
Listen to this AI generated song featuring Drake & The Weeknd.
It goes so damn hard.
It's by "Ghostwriter977" on TikTok and it's blowing up on socials + streaming platforms.
UMG, which controls around 1/3 of the global music market, has already asked streaming platforms to ban AI.
A modern Napster moment.
Will be fascinating to watch this all unfold in real-time.

Huge safari release. Why?
Apple argued if developers don't like its offer to take 30% of their revenue, there's always the "highly capable" safari ios to fall back on.
Of course, then people started asking, "is it capable?"
