I mean one would take the ad with a grain of salt If it gets people to pull the trigger on engaging with the firm - it’s likely to embellish how massive the changes are of these patent lapses

Your framing is correct It’s company vs user not regression vs efficiency

I disagree on the rock album being overly expensive to record Any decent studio can make a U87 on vocals, DI bass, Fender amp and several SM57s on drums sound as good as almost any album from 1970-2010 Hell I’ve seen a five part band get aw

Probably useful for placeholder musical elements (often you just need something in the mix of a certain sonic palette) But most studio-bunnies already have memorised catalogues of sample libraries like Omnisphere for that

I mean it’s very very much not free You can buy and sell x-year leases from the crown. Any with a commercially viable site sell for just below or even more than freehold land (depending on supply) Farming logistics also works radically diff

Engineering is broader than just trade-offs Broad heuristics can be very effective We make decisions on many more datapoints than can be put into what sometimes amounts to a “for and against” list

Your response leans on pedantic literalism and techno-optimism. Yes, continuous improvement is still happening – but that's exactly the point. We're now largely in the slow, incremental phase of a logistic curve, not the wild expo
