This is high key her fault...

Nah, I blame the media. If any mainstream media actually bothered to report seriously on Bernie and especially the turnouts he was pulling at his rallies, we probably would have had more than enough people energized to vote in the primary and the general. Instead, the MSM acted like Bernie wasn't a real candidate. I stopped supporting NPR after how dirty they did him.

Seriously, Nestle? There’s no way this makes any real difference

The majority of the research out there does not support dark mode being better for your eyes. Generally, you only experience additional eye strain from a screen when the brightness of the screen is different from surrounding light conditions. So if you want to reduce strain, use brighter screens in bright daylight and dimmer screens in a dark room.

However, the research also indicates that it is easier for most people to focus on text when it is dark text on a light background. This is especially true for people with astigmatism (about 1/3 of Americans).

So, kindly leave your default dark mode off my sites. Thanks.

Perhaps the only appropriate use of AI

The reality is that it is a next word prediction machine. There probably aren't any examples in the training data where people are writing music reviews on something that isn't music. It probably interprets the sound as best as it can as "music" (and the best it can do this is likely very bad in the first place), and then, since the prompt was about reviewing music, it uses next word prediction to write a music review, which of course turns out looking like a typical music review. It's not really interpreting the sound as "not music" especially since you told it it IS music.
