"Overall, it seems like both the Schiit Lyr+ and the Bryston BHA-1 are excellent headphone amplifiers with slightly different strengths. The Schiit Lyr+ may be better for bass-heavy music and high-frequency-heavy music, while the Bryston BHA-1 may be better for intricate details and creating an immersive listening experience."

I would disagree about the immersive experience, but it is interesting to see how it took a google sheet of my impressions from six songs and generated some simple but cogent conclusions.

This AI stuff that’s emerging only serves to diminish my optimism towards the internet overall. Just more opportunities for an endless cesspool of useless, hollow and garbage content to be uploaded onto a million sites, but now being delivered at 100x the speed it was before. As neat as some of this stuff seems, I’m not optimistic about a lot of this new tech especially in the content creation domain.

@rlow , as a communications scholar in a previous life, I definitely approach all of this with concern. If you apply the McLuhan tetrad to this technology (what does it extend, what does it atrophy, what does it remind us of in our history and at what point does it become noise), I feel like it gives me a few ways to read it. It is here, for better or for worse.

As an indie pro artist, I feel optimistic about it. I have been incorporating it in my workflow for years as an effective but imperfect assistant (aren't they all). For the discerning reader, viewer, it will never replace the blood and guts of people making good things. But yah...there is a shit storm of lazy noise building.

Its fine, you just keep awareness. It can help get to some relevant conclusions faster. I am not benefiting more from a tech blog ran on ads and getting lost there insted of following the thought process. I can then fact check it with real articles and facts. It makes mistakes.. But I'd say most of the internet is realtively usless information. Its not like a well written book or an article

If AI can filter out relatively uselss information, then it would be great.
