When you use OpenSimWorld or one of its beacons to teleport to the sim with the most avatars present in expectations of some party...

...and you find yourself surrounded by people mostly in black with somber instrumental music playing, and you see two signs as a memorial for the recently passed sim owner.

This is going to happen a bit more often today.

Requiescat in pacem, Freddy Nightmare.

Today's three-hour DJ event in Dereos takes place on a brand-new sim that's inspired by the ZDF-Hitparade. I mean, they already have a sim inspired by the Beat-Club.

However: The music of the first half matches the location. In other words, Schlager. Probably mostly from the 1970s. The first DJ has opened with four Chris Roberts songs.

What really gives me to think is that even @Akira Sonoda has announced "Schlager" for the second half. Whatever that means in her case.

AST Caffeinated Quality Live Event: The AI Impact on Quality in 2025 | LinkedIn

A live roundtable on the one thing AI still can’t replicate... you. Sure AI is writing code. It’s generating and running tests. It’s even starting to make decisions... If you take that at face value... it sounds pretty impressive. So where does that leave us as engineers, as testers? Has the day come when we are going to be replaced by AI overlords? What does quality really mean when machines are shaping the outcomes based on data we didn’t choose and values we didn’t define? Are we asking the right questions? Are we still in the loop—or just watching it run? And in our rush to automate everything, have we sidelined the part that matters most: the human who notices the nuance, asks the hard questions, and decides what “good” should look like? Join us for an honest, curious conversation about the role we play and need to keep playing... as testers, technologists, and humans in this new AI dominated world. This roundtable sets the stage for Olivia Gambelin’s CAST 2025 opening keynote: “Elevating the Human in the Equation: Responsible Quality in the Age of AI.” - happening August 25th in SLC, Utah.

It's a smidge outdated (replace Twitter with mastodon/bluesky lol) but the basics are the same.
