Erm… Ok

I don’t really see phones as a problem, it’s the rampant social media and ads that are the problem and unfortunately it’s too intertwined with society/technology to undo it at this point.

All people who think this is a good read should Google about the Bitcasa saga, that was a wild ride.

Maybe but I don’t know how they can realistically do anything worthwhile. As forcing companies to keep staff on and not automate isn’t a good outcome and isn’t fixing the societal issues that make this a problematic scenario.

If a robot/ai/machine can do a job safer, more efficiently, quicker than a person, it should 1000000% be automated by the given thing. This has been happening for hundreds of years in all industries.

In isolation the automation of roles is a great thing, but the way society is currently run your entire quality of existence is tied to your job, and retraining and getting a new job is harder than ever and costs a lot.

If society made it easier for people to retrain and get better jobs and slowly replaced all those bad jobs with an automated workforce it would be better for everyone.

Can’t see it happening though…

It sounds like it may build some playlists like what I would want but depends on how it builds the metadata, as sensme worked off tempo and beats etc to classify music into moods etc.

Also for me personally it seems like plexamp would be more geared for people who’s devices are always online, which is another reason the mp3 player is great as I don’t need the Internet to access all my music etc.

I still have a Sony Walkman with sensme. I loved being able to set a mood and set it going.

These days you can no longer get sensme in any way, there are no android/ios music players with that functionality and cloud based music services offer a sort of skewed version of it but it isn’t really constrained in what music YOU like and tbh most of my local stuff is a mix of game/tv/film music and chip tune stuff which you don’t really get on cloud music services anyway.

I really wish there was an android app that did same thing as nothing fills that niche and I’ve tried making complex playlists etc but it’s a massive pita when you have gigs and gigs of music.
