I’d just add that I think part of their popularity comes from their “safe” image. You put on an Imagine Dragons song, you know you’re getting a pretty apolitical “pop-rock” song, not like those dumb hippies from the 70s or those indie-rock losers. Which I think sucks, to be clear.
They’re musically enjoyable but I do feel like we, as a society, need to truly reckon with how bad Oasis’s lyrics are. My general thought is that they wrote the music first and then said “well let’s not worry about having coherent lyrics, let’s just have me singing words that sound good at the right time in the song”.
They are discontinuing the service :(
Very nice, glad to see it! I suppose actually doing dev work is more important than updating the website 😅
They specifically say on their FAQs page that they’re not going to work with OVOS, sadly.
The fact that they mention Mycroft AI (which stopped being properly developed over 2 years ago) on their homepage is a little worrying 😬 They do mention the situation in their FAQs, though.
And yet he still finds plenty of time to harass trans women on Tumblr…
To this day, I love to suggest my tech friend switch to Lindows as a joke. Still kills if they get it, otherwise I have to explain “so it’s this old Linux distribution…”
“last year, OpenAI shut down 4o but brought the model back (for a fee) after widespread outrage from users.” “She cancelled her $20 monthly GPT-4o subscription, and coughed up $130 for Anthropic’s maximum plan.” They did, I guess it just wasn’t enough for them to justify continuing.
