Spotify, which has influenced how tracks are written, arranged and exploited for commercial profit is signaling their intention to inject AI into everything, to help listeners better "interact with content"

CEO says Spotify is now the "R&D department for the music industry"

The man writes the name FARLEY in huge letters on the side and it's still "a house music truck"
