"This. But I will add there are dual tracks developing. Normie pop music increasing bland and similar sounding. The so-called mono-genre. But on the other hand a backlash to music streaming clearly developing among my students. A deep consciously transgressive adoption of live and analogue musical experiences. America is already fast descending to the lowest cultural and intellectual common denominator. By denying entire generations the incentive or reason to struggle at their work and learn their artistic craft AI will only hasten that descent. https://t.co/YZeIpG0JjC America is already fast"

"So this is the mafia protection racket argument. Nice album you got there shame if it was pirated. If this anonymous account is in any way connected to someone working with the oligopolies this is meandering towards RICO. Careful there. Remember Daniel Ek first made his money by developing uTorrent. @davidclowery We eliminated piracy by moving to a subscription based streaming system. We realized that recorded sounds are easy to share & difficult to claim ownership of. Not learning from recent history is shortsighted. Musicians should make as much as they can performing and invest wisely."

"There is a real panic about AI taking jobs. Its exaggerated. Mostly cause its taking tech/programmer jobs. And everyone is assuming that what it does to programming it will do to every other job. Coding is the perfect use case for the LLM based AI. Bounded set. Clear and explicit rules. In most of the rest of the economy when LLM can be used it requires heavy human intervention. In my experience it increases productivity moderately for highly skilled/knowledgeable individuals but doesnt eliminate jobs. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2021616194483069290"

"Points off for the condescending use of "bro". YouTube not if he don't want it to be on YouTube. Very easy to knock it down these days. Turns out you don't have to sell many CDS or Vinyl to absolutely dwarf the revenues from streaming. Guess what artists aren't happy with the new model. And since it's our work we get experiment with the best ways to monetize it. The fact the pay from streaming is so shitty for anyone except Taylor Swift leaves us little incentive to stay in the old system. Think about that. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2022388143370932383"

"Okay [---] follower account anonymous account on Twitter. Yeah. You work in film and you have valid advice.(Isnt it weird that only anonymous accounts are defending streaming.) The music business was never about being ubiquitous. I mean for a handful of top artists maybe the rest of the industry was about engaging your true fans. If streaming is literally starvation wages for most bands What the fuck does anyone have to lose"

"Oh sorry Im crossing threads about streaming. Similar named account. But Im not saying youre not gonna lose work but from perspective of music AI replaces a bunch of low grade uses of music. Not the main body that people deeply engage with. Streaming strip mined the money out of the recorded music business. So its not a huge loss at this point. At the same time a lot of these AI mixing editing tools make a lot of non viable projects viable. To a certain extent makes me more productive"

"This is moderately positive news for performers and songwriters as Apple pays a higher stream rate. This is largely a matter of math not necessarily benevolence. Apple has no ad supported tier which lowers Spotifys per stream rates. https://www.wsj.com/articles/apple-music-on-track-to-overtake-spotify-in-u-s-subscribers-1517745720 https://www.wsj.com/articles/apple-music-on-track-to-overtake-spotify-in-u-s-subscribers-1517745720"

"@Creators_ECSA Do you even understand Blockchain The main thing a music rights database needs is a centralized authority so scoundrels and scammers dont rip off/claim what isnt theirs. A decentralized database is an interesting concept. A decentralized authority is nightmare for Artists"
