Casual question: Is there a discography to YouTube database anywhere? I dummied up some data using yt-dlp and Jacob Collier's playlists, but I'm playing around with browsing an artist, and it'd be cool to do this in a more generic sense.

Regulatory capture Dan Lyke / comment 0
Kevin Beaumont @GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social
If you're wondering why Anthropic et all are publicly making stupid claims ('our AI that writes itself!') and begging world governments to regulate them - while directing the regulation via lobbying - it's pretty simple: they're locking out competitors.
If you read through this draft of "The Great American AI Act" it's pretty clear that nobody but the current big players will be able to comply. It's "regulate me, daddy" = "make sure nobody else can compete".

A "pride flag" rainbow in which the blue line extends outside the rectangle. The caption reads:
There is no such thing as pride without a thin blue line.

Interesting conversation at square Dan Lyke / comment 0
Interesting conversation at square dancing last night, someone had tried to use one of the chatbots, and his take-away was that as long as it didn't have any model for correctness it really wasn't useful for anything but entertainment.
Good to see non-tech people discovering this independently.
