Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

Leaving the European Union continues to prove divisive amongst the UK nations, with the hardline version of Brexit chosen by the then Westminster Government not the will of all the people.
@yorkshirepost.co.uk letter takes issue with #Brexit 'will of the people' claims. Not the will of Scotland & Northern Ireland.
No super-majority expect for 'serious constitutional consequences.' Govt chosen hard #Brexit means ongoing tensions: "Will of Westminster, not all people". #RejoinEU #EU

They vilify & criminalise the people who would be their willing supporters if only they would do the right thing. youtube.com/watch?v=Yzs8...

Jesus Christ on a Bike. I just asked Deepseek to write an essay on AI in my style. It’s too florid… but it took about 5 seconds. Jesus Christ on a Bike.
A phrase that describes all of these AI chatbot and generators is: “probability, not possiblity”.
They can make judgements based on past behaviour and as accurate as that may be, it’s still just predictive. It’s not authentic creation.
Nvidia. Shouldn't laugh... 😉
