I feel bad for all the poor people named Claude. It’s the Siri and Alexa situation all over again, but worse.
I’m afraid companies will begin forcing the normalization of anthropomorphization of gen AI agents real soon and give them names like anna or john to kill every doubt they are not just glorified word calculators.
I think that already began when they launched them as chat interfaces.
They can’t even calculate though. They can’t tell time either.
Would you rather date a Siri or a Khaleesi?
I’m a gay dude.
Would you rather date a Claude or a Tyrion?
Tyrion sounds like some medication I’d give my dog, so I guess a Claude?
Just before all of this got huge I sarted really grtting into a musician named Claud and I often consider the popularity explosion of this chat bot has got to hurt their visibility. Especially already being a small indie artist.
Link?
Here is a decent KEXP set, because KEXP does good live sets.
Thanks! I have no idea what kexp is but decent music indeed
KEXP is an NPR station in, I think LA.
They do alot of these sorts of sets with all sorts or artists, not necesarily in LA. Hell my most favorite one is Aurora in some KEXP studio in Iceland.
Anyway, they are not always, but sometimes nice stripped down versions of tracks, sometimes with just say, the lead singer and a guitarist, instead of a full band.
Its just a good sound.
NPR also does Tiny Desk shows. Which is also great and in in a similar style of “alternative live versions of songsby good artists.”
Thanks, I’ve seen Tiny Desk before, yay - more stuff to explore!
Touching grass or as the kids say, overdosing on tokenmaxing
