@donni
I got into a bad habit of falling asleep to Countdown and MeidasTouch/LegalAF podcasts.

Thank god Jackie and Shadow broke me out of that habit.

FWIW The #FOBBV live stream of the nest is the best #WhiteNoise I’ve found for sleeping in a long time. Best thing, Jackie wakes me up every morning. Until the next mic broke. The wide angle cam mic still works though.

Update sur la page freesound du projet derniers souffles.
Avec les souffles de diodes et transistors que nous avions enregistrés avec @soniasaroya lors de notre résidence au @soundartlab, Struer, Denmark.
Avec la complicité de Ross Alexander Payne, @jacoberiksen, et toute l'équipe de radioamateurs OZ3EDR.

Another free resource: Stéphane Pigeon's online cat. This cat will NOT sit on your keyboard or attack your printer. It will purr while you work / read / sleep / ...

You can fiddle with the frequencies etc until you get the purr you need, or use one of the many presets. Actual recordings of Stéphane's cat Babouche.

(fiddling with actual cats not recommended! Scritchums yes, fiddles no.)

Hello friends!

May I interest you in a high-quality source of #WhiteNoise and #Ambiences?

mynoise.net has been my go-to website for all of my background noise needs for well over a decade. No matter if your preference is...

- classic TV static white noise
- rain
- ambient soundscapes
- looping instrumentals
- hums and vocals
- the sounds of various modes of transporations

... Stéphane got you covered! And the best: thanks to the slider-based nature of the site, you can customize your own experience, cranking up your favorite sound or removing ones you don't like! You can also pick from various presets or set the sliders to animate, creating a dynamic experience.

There's also community-created composite generators covering a wide range of moods. You're bound to find something that suits your needs!

You do need to make a one-time donation of 10€ to access all noises on the page, otherwise you only get a (still cool!) selection of their best noises. For your money, you get lifetime access and such exciting features as the guided meditation room.

You can check it out here: mynoise.net/

(This post is not sponsored! mynoise has just been struggling to grow and maintain itself lately, and I want to spread the word about it because it's a genuinely cool website made by a cool guy.)

“Self-checkout could have been better integrated into supermarkets in ways that augmented and better-facilitated interactions between frontline workers and shoppers, but that design goal goes against the very reason they were adopted by retailers in the first place—to cut labor costs,” Mateescu says. “So the tool has a self-defeating logic to it from the get-go.”
From https://gizmodo.com/why-self-checkout-is-and-has-always-been-the-worst-1833106695 ; see also https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/understanding-the-real-threat-generative .

Generative AI could be an instance of what self-checkout or automated customer service phone trees are: what Brian Merchant ( @brianmerchant@mastodon.social ) dubs "shitty automation" in the first link, with a similar kind of self-defeating logic built into it from the start. If the only purpose of a technology is to cut labor costs for corporations, then there's a decent chance everyone, including the corporations deploying the technology, eventually suffers from it. One of the weirdest things to witness in this latest AI hype cycle is the enthusiastic deployment of a technology that may end up producing worse products and services at greater expense than the laid-off people who used to produce those products and services. It also threatens to leave behind a kind of technological detritus: even companies that recognize the cost and poor quality won't be able to remove it once it's entrenched. Why all the enthusiasm?

Obviously I have no way of knowing whether that's what comes to pass, but a lot of signs are pointing that way. I've already had a few conversations with people, including a CEO, who told me they felt like they had no choice but to deploy generative AI somehow, because all their customers were doing so. But like the most-photographed barn--which is the most-photographed barn because it's famous for being the most-photographed barn--this kind of justification is ephemeral white noise. You are putting yourself into a dangerous position by following it: this ouroboros will eat your business once it's done swallowing its own tail. Very strange to witness.
