“There’s this idea that we can eliminate pain, and that can be a disincentive for trying to make the world better. We shouldn’t aim for utopia, but a world where suffering is reduced and everyone has opportunity. But it’s sick to have something to fight against” @Grimezsz

“I always say to my manager: ‘I want to make hieroglyphics,’” says @Grimezsz. “I don’t care if people remember my name, but I want to be able to meaningfully contribute to this culture at a time of great change.”

A book recommendation from @Grimezsz: ‘Surface Detail’ by Ian Banks, her favourite sci-fi novel. Though she is slightly spoiling the plot right now, if you want to understand her vision of the future, it sounds like it’s worth reading. IMS Ibiza Book Club strikes again today.

“I feel like our culture is really alienated from children. It’s so much easier to realise how great humans are when you see the human mind untainted from all the things that fuck us up. Seeing my kids with their friends is a really inspiring thing.” @Grimezsz

“I have really crazy stage fright: touring was really hard on me psychologically. I’m in a state of sheer terror on stage. It’s the singing I hate. I’m not a very good singer! I love DJing, I like building stuff over performing live.” @Grimezsz

“I feel like we need to stop attacking the things that we don’t like and start building things that we do like,” says @Grimezsz

“If you choose to become an artist. You have no control over what other people perceive of you. Anything in the public eye is judged.” @Grimezsz then quotes Taylor Swift: “people throw rocks at things that shine.”

“The reason AI models do evil things is because their training data is full of evil things. [in fiction and movies] the amount of discourse about evil AI completely overshadows the case for good AI. that’s not healthy; we need to avoid a self-fulfilling prophecy,” @Grimezsz

“i think everything about copyright is problematic. There’s too much top down control. In the early days of TikTok there was a lot of weird music going viral, but now the gatekeeping stranglehold means less interesting stuff coming out.” @Grimezsz
