That made me subtly, yet audibly, laugh.

Agree. Felt the same way about the first video and wanted to leave a comment but wasn't sure if it's just a me problem.

I thought it was interesting, but don't appreciate having to give you my email to see full results.

I unsubscribe from mails that aren't useful to me day-to-day because they're distracting.

Other than that it seems like a cool idea. I'd recommend slightly bigger fonts. I often have this issue with Gemini.

I do care a lot what I listen to. It takes me while to find songs that I like.

Also I am not listening to AI generated music that I generate myself.

These are some channels whose music I like:

I don't have strong opinions on whether the AI music I listen to is nerdcore or something else. Maybe I didn't use the correct term.

It sounds great to me. AI-generated music is pretty popular with Warhammer 40k lore as well.

Also I tend to listen to songs for a few days, during which time I feel they're the best thing ever, which also helps with momentum during work.

After a few days I have to find other songs. Since AI music started getting more traction it's been way easier to find great songs.

I understand the criticisms of AI music, but that doesn't take away from the fact that for me and a growing number of people it sounds good.

I mostly listen to AI-generated music. 8 out of 10 of my top listens in the last 180 days are AI-generated.

I gradually went from various genres -> mostly nerdcore -> mostly AI nerdcore.

EDIT: Updated link to the most listened songs in the past 180 days. The songs are not generated by me.

I've been writing tutorials for multiple of my sites through the years (bytexd.com, nooblinux.com, and others), but decided recently I just want a more personal site where I mess around. It's still new though.
