Listening to the AI DJ feels eerily lonely, in that it is a constant reminder of what it is not.

Speaking of music, Google's wayward music streaming service YouTube Music is still plugging along. This week, Kai Chuk, YouTube’s head of podcasting, said thatin the near future. The lack of dedicated podcast support has long been an odd oversight for the platform, given how many podcasters also stream video of their sessions on YouTube.

While the company hasn’t announced specifics about the feature, it will likely need some changes from other YouTube services. YouTube videos won't play in the background on mobile devices unless you subscribe to YouTube Premium. Fortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case with podcasts when they arrive. Google hasn’t said when the dedicated podcast feature will make it on the YouTube Music platform, except that it is coming soon.coming to its Photos app this week.

Most of the changes are only for subscribers of Google One, Google’s cloud storage service, so if you don’t pay for that, then you’re just going to have to Photoshop that random guy out of your beach pics yourself.Back in the bygone days of streaming, companies like Netflix didn’t seem to mind that people shared their accounts with just about everyone in their lives. But now the streaming ecosystem has grown so belated it has fallen into disarray.

Twenty years ago Pandora launched and its algorithm where perfect. after 3 first songs the machine knew exactly what to suggest for the rest. not sure why they scrapped that.

Why would it need to? What problem is solved by predicting my next favorite song?

Definitely not

Of course not. A DJ will sometimes surprise you with something you didn't know you would like. An AI will never try to surprise you or shock you, it will only feed you pap that will not offend.

No

tbh I just want Spotify's UI with Tidal's Algo.

I tried the AI DJ and it wasn't enjoyable...

Scobleizer It’s in it’s infancy, it learns as time goes on so it will get better over time.

It also has no Dolby Atmos so sounds like shit on my system when compared to Apple Music.
