Is it what AI is good at, or is it just that the image generation stuff is where the focus has been because it's more accessible to non-tech literate?

I've found that breaking cables is a personal issue. I still have an old usb Xbox 360 controller for pc gaming from when I owned an xbox. My partner has destroyed cables for laptops, hairdryers, headphones in less than 12 months.

Some cables are objectively worse than others (macbook chargers I'm looking at you) but a modicum of care generally is enough to make sure they last without too much hassle.

And, you know, a society in which your parents bank balance and the school you get sent to is the single biggest indicator of your future successes.

Brexit was just some real end-game shit for them to cement their authority over us little folk.

How does the law require them to be greedy?

I just assumed that it was shareholders.

That's partly it as well! It's fun to explore artists and genres who aren't super mainstream.

Although sometimes it's just artists who aren't likely to be that well known. I saw Asgeir in Bristol for less than £50 - he's pretty mainstream I'd say (>700k monthly listens on Spotify) - he just happens to be Icelandic and performing in his mother tongue at least half the time.

Not the original commenter, but it think they're not okay with it, just clarifying the situation...

I think a lot of the issue is that people aren't seeing as much music.

My fiancée saw Taylor Swift in London years ago when she was a country act and yeah it wasn't cheap but she could afford to go as a teenager with a weekend job who happens to enjoy country music.

The acts people want to see are all huge by the time a lot of people would bother going to see them and they know they can charge insane prices for tickets because people will pay. It's the same for theatre. There's tonnes of awesome stuff you can see for peanuts (relatively, depending on your location) but people will still pay through the nose to see The Cursed Child™.

If you want to see live music (of any genre) you can - it's cheap and easy. But you might have to go to a small cramped venue or see someone you've not heard of. Or seek out smaller acts before they become huge industry behemoths.

And even better than that, they tailor their flavorful food for our palettes!

Fantastic.

If you can afford to fail it becomes astronomically easier to throw ideas around, turn them into real things and see what sticks.

33 here - if the staying up is enjoyable then 1-3am is fine. Hangovers are worse than when I was 23, but I'm usually back up to speed by lunchtime.

Of course this is heavily influenced by how much water I drink while I'm out. Hydration is important folks!

Disney felt like a tipping point for me (and Netflix's new role as a production company). It was only when that came about that people like Paramount started offering their own services (idk how true that is but it's certainly how it felt).

I still pay for Disney+ right now, but a big part of the appeal of streaming for me was having lots of stuff in one place. Now it's just cable/satellite all over again.
