This is gonna be kinda long, and I think we’re still gonna leave stuff out, because this whole thing has been a nonstop from the start.
Like, you look away for a second and suddenly there are three new AI models and two robots.
Feels like centuries have gone by, but in reality this technology has been around us for just a little while.
Even though the precursors to Artificial Intelligence had already been developed before and used in certain contexts for a long time,
let’s stick to what we now popularly call “AI.”...
Tribe, we’ve decided to remove our music from Spotify.
For those of you who know and follow us this probably won’t come as much of a surprise and for those who don’t, it may not feel out of place either in this strange world we live in.

Slop (that mass of generative content flooding the Internet) is an unstoppable tide of supposed "progress for mankind."
