Claude #2

I had Tammy pull down Claude #1.

Claude #1 was meant to be the start of a systematic discussion of my philosophical approach to audio, the components in my system, some of which go back 45 years and are 68 years old (recycling/refurbishing what works), how everything works synergistically in the hopes that would elicit observations on the same and shares from others about the templates they used in approaching the construction of their systems. I was going to have continued the discussion over the course of a dozen posts on discrete topics within the framework. Information that some of you might have found useful. I was looking forward to this. 

Instead, some of you hijacked that first post for personal Luddite-like rants about the evils of AI. AI is the very tool I used over the last week to answer questions I have not been able to get answered in those 45 years in even a quarter of the detail and/or leads that AI provided.

So, we end with Claude 2 instead of 12. 

This was so absurd and at the age of 70, I just don’t have the time for this nonsense. So, I am done with audiogon. I’m sure that makes some of you happy: the conversation sandbox is returned to your preferred configuration, whatever that may be. 

I will instead post my thoughts at theaudioatticvinylsundays.com. Eventually. I am starting a substack and that has my priority right now. 

I will miss some of you, who are thoughtful, intelligent and kind. You know who you are. 

adios.

I always enjoy your contributions.
 

My website is a bit of a mess right now. I moved it from the WIX platform to Wordpress for two reasons: Wordpress is more flexible, creative and professional, and WIX is based in Tel Aviv and I have decided that I have to honor the boycott, as much as I wish otherwise, as WIX was good enough for my purposes. Now that I’m building a Substack, it was time to move it. 
 

So keep visiting the audio attic and then please contact me through it once I have the contact page set up again. I’ve learned so many things about my components and the system as a whole that had been only guessing at for so long, and now I’m finally getting a handle on it and since much of it is of a systemic nature, there is much to share that is replicably useful.

The problem is capitalism, not AI.

You completely muddy the waters with your unedited, unorganized rambling.

And again, someone (you) is off topic. This is a post about my leaving because people wanted to talk about AI, not about why woofer placement can give not just better bass but holographic sound. People have contacted me on and off the forum, asking me to stay. This is why I won’t. There is zero conceptual discipline here.

You didn’t bother to actually read the references that I provided, did you? 

Confirmation bias at work here. 
 

@gdaddy1 

If I post on a particular topic, I find it more than reasonable to expect people to stay on topic. Otherwise, let’s just go from “psychotic effects of decoupling acoustic signifiers across the audio spectrum” to “effect of sonar on my bowl of jello”, never mind the political correctness of AI.  Do I have issues with AI? That’s another post.
