AI Companies push anti-AI sentiment to bait engagement.

AI images are pretty identifiable, and you can always count on the anti-AI squad to come in to react. More engagement means people who don't care about the ethics of the AI debate will 1) see the image, 2) see from the comments complaining about it that it's AI generated, then 3) become a customer.

This is not to say there aren't legitimate reasons to be anti-AI, but I think there are many forces in the world propagandizing each other at light speed to try to control it and gain an edge on one another.

Pro-AI sentiment might be easily filtered out as propaganda, but I don't think anti-AI communities would blink twice at something to the effect of: "The worst ever AI image company is _____. They create really complex images that are totally undetectable as AI generated!"

These people are so smug about how objective and neutral they are, but they can't handle reality.

If I try to delete files from a folder, I can do it. The permissions are fine.

If I run a search in that folder and then try to delete everything from that search, it won't let me. The "delete" option doesn't even pop up.

No, I don't want to sync the petabytes of storage that my company has in OneDrive just so I can run a basic delete operation. Sync doesn't even work and never has, because their overworked code team missed an edge case that I guess applies only to me. I am on the web version.

Microsoft is a 200 pentillion dollar company and they can't give me a damn delete button. If anyone can help me with this, I am begging you.

Hello fellow harmonicists, gaitistas, harmonikors or whatever your favorite harmonica-er moniker.

Recently, for the first time in a long time of playing this instrument, I've been managing to hit overdraws with relative consistency. They scream like Whitney Houston at a haunted house, so I want to play as many of them in a given jazz improvisation as I can and I want them to sound perfect.

Initially while I was learning overdraws, the difficulty was getting rid of that awful TUK TUK TUK of the draw reed moving around, a veritable wacky waving inflatable-arm tube man. I have figured out how to stop his wavings, but even when I get a clear note, there's an accompanying high pitched squeal. I'm afraid my dog will kill me in my sleep if I keep making this noise and it certainly wouldn't sound good in a high-quality recording.

I'm playing a Hohner Crossover and it has had no issues thus far with getting overblows out of the box... Maybe precise gapping is inherently more necessary for overdraws than overblows? I don't know harmonica physics, but that seems really odd to me.

Is there any technique or tip I can try to defeat the buzz?
