I find there's currently an odd tell with AI generated music - it seems to want to cram as many vocal lines into a chorus/verse as it can. Lyrical cadence is often significantly faster than non AI music.

When I listen to Spotify and notice a track come on with this pattern I look up the artist and sure enough it's someone using AI to create their tracks.

It's similar to the text based quirks LLMs seem to have. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than myself can explain why this pattern happens with AI music.

This is good advice, but I struggle to apply it when many people are involved in a project.

If proceeding requires a review/input from someone, its a difficult balance between respecting their busy workload may mean they only get to it next week, or letting momentum die.

A contributing factor to housing costs I don't often see mentioned is urbanization. In the 21st century, population density has increased faster in major cities than rural areas.

The picture is probably more nuanced in the last half decade (post COVID), with many people moving to the countryside.

When engaged in a difficult task - perhaps when working at the limit of one's working memory or understanding, I often get a jolt of frustration and want to 'switch tabs' (figuratively or literally).

It's becoming more apparent to me that important traits are:

1) raising the threshold of discomfort that makes one want to task switch 2) the ability to avoid task switching immediately once the task becomes uncomfortable or difficult (or at least avoid task switching in a mindless way)

I find that impactful work often takes sustained periods of focus with some level of discomfort. (For example, watch chess grandmasters at work. Their behaviors of often are a mixture of grimaces, frowns and exasperated sighs.)

Having said that, I find taking a walk is often fruitful, and has a different valence/intentionality to a mindless task switch.
