AI is leading to a tragedy of the commons: It is overgrazing the commons, scraping up everything it can, and is also being used to pollute the commons with untrustworthy content.

Speaking Up For FOSS Now Everyone Uses It - Simon Phipps https://conf.tube/videos/watch/61e54469-c821-410c-9092-21726c761c89

This is a tune that for some reason I thought I learned off the Atlantic Fiddles CD many years ago, but recently when I dug up that recording I didn't find this tune on there, so now I have no idea where I got it from. Anyone else recognize it? It seems it's originally a highland pipe tune.
