Jingle session, "A Team" session guys with Asshole Client. 30 second spot with a drum fill in the middle. They do a take and the A.C. says NO! the drum fill has to be boom wacka boom boom. So they do another take and when they get to the fill, the A.C. pushes the talkback and says NO! not boom wacka boom boom, boom boom wacka wacka wacka! This goes on for half an hour until the A.C. says " oh for f*ck sake, just play whatever Steve Gadd would play!". The drummer leans into the OH and says "I AM Steve Gadd".

michael brecker was doing an overdub session around the late 80's. he does a pass and the producer says, "Great, but could you play harder?- really wail!!!" Apparently MB just nods his head and does another pass. The Prod says, "That's getting closer, but can you give it even more? I want it to sound like the Big Man- Clarence Clemens!". MB nods and says that he needs to really get the vibe, and could they dim the lights. the AE dims the lights and MB says, "No, man i need them totally off. You, know, get the vibe." lights go off, and they roll tape. when they get to the solo section all they hear is silence. tape stops, lights up. MB has left the building.
MB- one of the greatest.

This thread is fucking gold. I could read it all day and have great content left over.

LoL. Would you expect any different outcome than this out of a industry built upon "citation cartels" where articles are made to be cited but not to be read?

"What Heiss came to realize in the course of vetting these papers was that AI-generated citations have now infested the world of professional scholarship, too. Each time he attempted to track down a bogus source in Google Scholar, he saw that dozens of other published articles had relied on findings from slight variations of the same made-up studies and journals.

“There have been lots of AI-generated articles, and those typically get noticed and retracted quickly,” Heiss tells Rolling Stone. He mentions a paper retracted earlier this month, which discussed the potential to improve autism diagnoses with an AI model and included a nonsensical infographic that was itself created with a text-to-image model. “But this hallucinated journal issue is slightly different,” he says.

That’s because articles which include references to nonexistent research material — the papers that don’t get flagged and retracted for this use of AI, that is — are themselves being cited in other papers, which effectively launders their erroneous citations. This leads to students and academics (and any large language models they may ask for help) identifying those “sources” as reliable without ever confirming their veracity. The more these false citations are unquestioningly repeated from one article to the next, the more the illusion of their authenticity is reinforced. Fake citations have turned into a nightmare for research librarians, who by some estimates are wasting up to 15 percent of their work hours responding to requests for nonexistent records that ChatGPT or Google Gemini alluded to."

By age 40, a Linux user stops trying to install Arch on a toaster just to prove they can. They finally settle on Debian Stable or Mint because they realize they no longer have the "mental bandwidth" to spend 6 hours configuring stuff or fix broken systems just to check their email or watch Netflix. 😊

@chaosrind Mio.

@walsonde Gibt ja sehr viele verschiedene Erkältungsviren, müsste man für jeden separat recherchieren.

Die Tests sind jedenfalls länger rot, weil sie auf Virusbruchstücke reservieren.

@uvok ja 😢

Men, stop worrying about whether women know you're a safe person to be around and start making sure men know you're not a safe person to be misogynist around.
