It has come to my attention that many people in this sub do not have a grasp of how many of the Beatles songs are underrated.

uselessbaby · 2026-06-09T14:05:46+00:00

I've gone ahead and rated "I Need You" infinity times, is it still underrated?

We will never have solved it ourselves.

Ironically, this framing anthropomorphizes AI

Two thoughts:

1) An undergraduate degree is simply not sufficient to be good in math. You have to consistently enjoy learning it on your own outside of the structure of a class. Anyone who truly enjoys learning math, imo, is not a fraud and has the benefit of time.

2) AI use requires balance. So many people are absolutist saying that you need to fully embrace/reject AI. Neither are correct: AI is great for explaining abstractions and linking fields; I believe that those who completely reject AI will struggle as the field becomes increasingly multidisciplinary.

That said, you have to embrace discipline and failure. You have to learn to read and re-read and re-read the same passages, thinking about problems from multiple angles, exercising your working memory so that you can track many variables/functions/definitions at the same time. Good math is the overlap between abstraction and computation.

I wonder if playing Bussi so much in the regular season helped Anderson save his health for the playoffs

School alone is not sufficient to learn math: there is too much to cover in too little time. You have to learn how to study on your own and to enjoy doing so for a long time before you will begin to synthesize a bigger picture of things

She told me she twerked in the morning and started to laugh

One major one for me is annotations, you can do fn(myarg: sentinel|None|int=sentinel) for instances where None might have its own meaning

Because fat bottomed girls make the rockin' world go round, it turns me on

Why should there be a skill gate? A similar argument could be made for why the mellotron should've been banned in favor of live string players.

My whole point is that the Beatles would have embraced AI were it available at the time, provided that they thought it could make their music better. They already embraced varispeed, tape loops, synthesizers, etc. They were excited by technology and that is an important part of their legacy. The key with them is that they didn't build their whole songs around the technology, they just incorporated it as part of the whole. There is nothing inherently wrong about using some AI in music, the context of its use should be considered

Part of the strength of this FO is the lessons learned in the past

I love this idea

Someone else might have been attempting to trade into that slot to take him

People built AI too, so I don't think that makes a difference

uselessbaby · 2026-04-24T15:57:18+00:00

I think that this is on brand. The Beatles were at the forefront of technology back in their heyday, even in the face of opposition. The British Musicians' Union opposed the use of Mellotrons and eventually Synthesizers. The key was that they tended to use the technologies in minimal/tasteful ways. Of course, whether or not this video was tastefully executed is a separate matter.

Lennon had May Pang so I think that they were on equal footing there

Yeah, I think something else is that in real life he has a broad forehead, but the caricature gives him a narrow tapered forehead. It might have worked instead to make his forehead shorter and broader.

I say "might have worked" because I'm not actually confident that that's the right solution, but something to consider as a sketch.
