I kinda want one now

I wish your opinion was shared more.

I do music production. I’ve seen what AI can do, and for making a simple master of one of my demos AI is great. But everyone who has been there knows that the fun of making music comes from uniqueness. AI can’t do that, it can only riff on things known in its dataset.

I’m not worried at all, because this means the boring commercial music becomes less impressive, and unique and elaborate music becomes even more valuable. I’m cool with that; nothing of value is lost.

I get why people are freaked out, but most of the tangible issues come from greedy managers with a pinch of dunning-kruger, trying to replace workers. And that’s got almost nothing to do with AI and everything to do with assholes. There will be consequences, but people have to stick out this short-term chaos. And that’s the only thing I have empathy for in this.

Well that and unlicensed training because governments can’t get their shit together to enforce ethical guidelines for AI training & data collection practices.

I love that one can identify you by how unhinged your posts are. Delightful - welcome back.

Something about your apostrophe placement and abbreviation really pisses me off

“Looking Glass does not support audio routing. The preferred solution is to pass through QEMU’s audio to your host’s audio system.”

That eliminates Ableton ofc (because that pushes you out of the vm for audio and then you have to deal with additional jank and you’re back to dealing with your Linux distro for better or for worse.

Premiere pro that could work though of course for audio you’re also back to square one.

And no trigger discipline at all on that sudo. That’s criminal negligence. Very Baldwin-inspired.

Is this some kind of rm -rf / hostage situation?

I’m kind of in the same boat though. Compatibility still breaks lots of things people don’t think about.

• music production (that’s me)
• video editing & pp
• architecture software & planning software
• legally compliant software for taxes, etc.
• various GIS software
• very specific closed source hardware

There’s quite a few people I can confidently recommend Linux to, but there’s also a bunch I can’t.

I tried setting up my DAW setup with external plugins and even with huge limitations I couldn’t get it to work. I tried 8 times, with 5 different configurations. This is not feasible. I had to switch back, and I hate that I had to do it, but I’m working with artists and costumers, and things need to work fast and stable.

Man if they figure out stable alternatives to Premiere Pro and Ableton I’m on board, but for now all of that is not easy to do and the setup can be extremely janky.

Ofc I’m talking actually usable, not “it runs”.

Is that a thing? I don’t think I have ever heard someone defend microslop on here and you can bet it’s different for Linux.

Adding to that, drivers are basically a non-issue in 99% of the cases by now. Linux has really outdone themselves on that.

Case and point, I plugged in an audio interface into Linux after installing a DAW and pipewire and it just worked out of the box.

…then yes.

Is that real? And why are we living in an age where this would be quite mundane?
