Teacher, etc.
@TechConnectify thank you for your hard work

Going to invent a guitar that has magnets below the strings and when the strings vibrate within the magnetic field it will make an ELECTRIC SIGNAL thus I will call this Magnet Guitar a MAGNETAR

*wait. I’m being told…*

I’m happy to say magnetars are already available.

A.I. musicians are COOKED. I just recorded an ENTIRE SONG using nothing but my instruments and a few microphones. This would have cost upwards of hundreds of dollars in expensive A.I. subscription fees but for me it was completely FREE. Don't get left behind. This is the future!
You people have no idea how close I am to belting out “One Day More” at any given moment

Call to action to cis people: be assholes anytime you get asked for your sex assigned at birth. Write letters, complain to staff, refuse to answer. Make it impossible to collect sex assigned at birth. Be really offended that anyone would ask you. Make enough noise that if trans people want to quietly not answer or give whatever answer feels correct to them, no one will notice.

the problem with putting a robot character in a story in order to explore questions like, "are they alive?", is that they will always end up alive in the story. not because that's the answer to the underlying question, but because the reader is already breathing life into all of the characters. none of the characters are actually alive, but they all become alive as the story is read
Forfeiting the knowledge and skills that would allow you to do something on your own is not freedom. To the extent that you replace them with a commercial service, it's quite the opposite, in fact.
