ya know, this auto-generated playlist of one's personal ShazamKit results has the potential to be genuinely interesting. apple.co/3M9PHXe ...though I think it would be significantly more so if [Apple, I'd imagine???] hadn't somehow managed to do whatever they did to Shazam - which I knew as a straightforward waveform-matching service (afaiu, it's all but… mastodon.social/@DavidBlue/110…

Notably missing from both the film and this interview: not only have these issues been discussed and researched for decades, now, but a biome of alternatives to EVERY SINGLE CRITICIZED COMPANY/SERVICE EXISTS and HAS EXISTED for years. bit.ly/3fd3Xxn there is a search engine that is basically just Bing except most of the profit generated by the adtech goes to PLANTING TREES.
