"Rather than offering book workers the stability and benefits of full-time employment, Authors Equity will rely on the gig economy to get the job done. Look a little more closely, and “growing pool of freelancers” is a terrible euphemism for “jobs are disappearing and more and more of us are fighting for scraps by competing for freelance gigs.”"

❝There’s an odd perception in the music scene that if you’re not doing music full time as a profession, that you’re somehow less serious than someone who is, and I think that’s exactly backwards. I’m willing to work a full-time job to support my interest in music, like it was a wife and family, and there are millions of people like me. I think that shows that we take it more seriously than somebody who also expects it to be a free ride and pay his rent.❞ —

I have a 2008 Roland Ready Stratocaster. It came with three ceramic single coil pickups and a hex pickup for use with a guitar synth. At the time I was playing a Roland GR-20 at a coffee house gig. I quickly replaced the stock pickups with a Tonerider Pure Vintage set. Those are very nice vintage sounding pickups. They stayed in there for 16 years.

Two guitar amplifiers (one branded 'Blackstar', the other 'BOSS') stacked on to of one another on carpet in front of a leather couch. The legs and bass of our bass player is showing next to/behind the 'stack' for scale (the amps go part way up his shin, height-wise). This was our Spinal Tap moment. *Stonehenge*!

Shortly after two in the morning, however, the party was broken up.

“The cops showed up, noticed that there was beer in various plastic cups, shut the whole thing down, threatening to arrest people and charging the organizer of the event, which was actually in an old print shop with ‘running a discotheque without a license',” he continues. “They also took a bunch of Polaroid photos of audience members and got to hear some perhaps over-served law students asking if they'd ever heard of the Four…

If AI's entire gig is ingesting a large database of human-written input, and crunching that database to predict the most likely next words to form a human-like response... that seems like a pretty powerful tool for password cracking.
