TBH, this post made me feel some sense of hope.

AI is not even remotely sustainable and anybody who thinks that the cost are going to go down overtime our fucking idiots. AI is extraordinarily expensive and it’s only going to become more so because we do not have the resources to make it cheaper. I think our big hope right now really is in employers seeing that AI cost more than people. Many of us have probably known for a while that the time it takes to have humans go through and fact check and fix what the fuck AI is getting wrong is costing more time and money. But as costs of creating these data centers is going up and the cost of power is going up, it’s going to get more expensive from here. So I really think that the thing to hold onto right now is knowing that the unsustainability of support supporting AI, especially on the level that so many AI bros and idiot employers are wanting, it’s going to be what makes it all fall apart. All of the tech workers that I know who are in positions above AI have been saying for a while that we are no more than handful of years out, if that long, from when AI is going to have to be run on personal machines rather than AI data centers. This is going to mean that those who have the money to buy the machines necessary to run these things out of their own homes are going to be the only ones who are going to be able to use it. That shit’s not going to be cheap. I know plenty of people out there are probably going to say that that is not fair because poor people blah blah, but the reality is that that’s going to result in a situation where employers are going to have to start hiring human beings again.

And people who say that AI isn’t really using resources and bullshit like that needs to look at how Lake Tahoe is scheduled to have their power cut off come next May so that it can all be diverted to AI data centers. Literally. People in Tahoe are trying to figure out alternative power sources now because of AI. An AI hasn’t even reached the height of where so many people are wanting it to go.

Don’t give up on art and writing and knowing how to decode in such because this shit is really not going to be able to last. I know it’s easier said than done, but we really need to do our best to wipe this shit out. Of those of us who are not consigning our brains and skills to machines are going to be the ones who come out ahead.

What signals an amateur AND how can said amateur not make that mistake?

I just read another post where someone asks about what signals an amateur, and a lot of the comments mentioned things that I understand, but wouldn’t know how to avoid yet. Like some type of drum kick that “sounds like an 808.” What makes something sound like the 808 and how can an amateur not do that? Someone else mentioned too much bass, yet the typical amateur is unlikely to have the type of speakers that are going to ensure that she could actually hear it. So how can an amateur avoid too much bass? Things of that nature.

Is it matters, I usually Ableton and ProTools (depends on what I am doing), have LogicPro though I’ve never clicked with it, and do you have things like Melodyne Editor (trying to decide if I should upgrade to Studio), etc. This is definitely something I am willing to put some money into if that can help avoid amateur mistakes.

Vocals are a yes. Pretty good midi keyboard. My speakers suck, though I hope to upgrade soon. Planning to get a Push 3 soonish. Computer runs on Intel and I was going to replace it in the next few months, but then I found out about the MacBook Ultra. So for now, I’m kind of limited to what was the top of the line back in 2019. (I swear, how fast does this stuff advances…) So I’m not sure if Kontact can run at the same time as something else. Not sure what else might be relevant.

All my life I wished that there were tools that did exactly what these things do, so was thrilled out of my mind to find out last fall that they’ve existed all my life. I’ve pretty much been living in music production land since then. I’m in for the long haul.

So what can I—Ms. Amateur—do to avoid amateur mistakes? Thank you!

This rust is new since Thursday. When I take my car to be washed, I hand dry it myself and use that as time to inspect everything. I can tell you every last blemish on my car because, even though it’s not worth much monetarily, it’s worth a lot sentimentally. It wasn’t there Thursday, though the gouged scrape was. So new rust. What can I do to stop it? Everything I’m reading is for much bigger rust patches than this, but I don’t want to wait that long. On a budget. So I’ve got to do it. Thanks.
