#2The post was interesting, but I also noticed something in the blog that had the same flavor.
Even though the link was for a specific post, the page layout neatly flowed into another post. So smooth I thought the second post's title was a subheading of the original article. A strange thing, but maybe that's just me making connections that aren't there.

Looks like this is a link to an issue of a newsletter and it's divided into sections.

I think OP is being ironic..

#5Sybil attack on Spotify!
Since both Spotify and Grubhub have a digital layer, actors can multiply endlessly!
Is the only solution to retreat to campfire songs and home cooking?

#6> A single kitchen operating under many names to increase its algorithmic “surface area”; another shape of things to come.
I find this infuriating. There's one dominican restaurant in my city that's listed on DoorDash, Grubhub and UberEats under over 20 different names with different subsets of their menu. All of these duplicate listings for the same place make it harder to search or browse the actual restaurant options in the area. Any time I come across a restaurant that looks worth trying out, I have to look up the address to see if it actually exists, or if it's just IHOP masquerading as a burger bar.

#7In the “Release Radar” generated for me last week, there was a 40 second song consisting of rhythmic mechanical noises with a strange title and album art of an alien head. I didn’t like it at all. I think it was recommended to me because the publisher listed its artist as “Fanny Mendelssohn” — a classical composer whose work I definitely enjoy and have probably pressed “Like” a few times on — even though the song had nothing to do with her.
You’d think, she shouldn’t be releasing any new works, you know, on account of being long-deceased and all. Therefore Spotify could block releases claiming her as an artist. Unfortunately, there are new renditions of her work being performed, recorded and published regularly, by many different groups. All of them have the right (perhaps even an ethical duty) to put Fanny Mendelssohn as one of the artists. These are works I’d like to hear, so Spotify’s recommendation algorithms are on the right track.
How on earth can Spotify distinguish real Fanny from fake Fanny?

I listened to the playlist and it's definitely the same song over and over again with slight tweaks. Imagine finding dozens of blogs where posts are all the same, but with very slight changes to vocabulary used in each blog.

And this is why the semantic web will never work.

#10Fascinating find! He nails so much about todays music. the mystery artist is barfing algorithmic refuse into poor unsuspecting victims' neural grooves. Seems to echo shades of the creepy algorithmic bright colored child videos youtube have.
