Something I’ve been enjoying lately is mixing music via the DJ-app (and occasionally via a MIDI-controller) on beatport. It’s surprisingly easy to learn how to do it well and it’s a really fun challenge to find music that you can fit together perfect, like a puzzle. I won’t be headlining a festival anytime soon but damn if it isn’t super fun. beatport evens offers a really generous free trial period if you want to give it a go.

Is there a commonly used term yet for when one AI agent “speaks” to another AI agent doing work for a IRL human without any human intervention?
What an insane story. Who in their right mind would’ve actually thought this would work?

My kids have been watching the original Full House episodes. They’re now respndingsaying things like “How Rude!” and “Cut…It….Out” and honestly, I’m into it.
Two weeks of crazy travel behind me - back into it this week!

The return line for Amazon at Kohl’s is 5x longer than their store checkout. Weird move to enable and hasten your company’s own insignificance. Seems like an unsustainable business model.
