Playing music at 1x should be a pretty simple feature to add to those apps.
Ideally it should be done while encoding.

Like it or not, this technology is way too useful for too many purposes to be stopped.
This is case for finding "the serenity to accept the things I cannot change".
But you could build something that ranks the quality of the webpage content! This would also be more useful.
Of course, that tool would have to use AI...
I don't even think there are any "genuine" Lindy processes. What would those look like? Are they always half done?
Is anything like that happening?
There are differences due to import/export balance, investments, government borrowing etc, but as a first approximation, if GDP increases by 10%, consumption will rise by a similar amount.
About your IT worker example: Let's say s/he produces $150k/year in value and is paid $140k. If AI makes them produce $300k of value, they may not automatically get a raise. But it becomes very attractive for another employer to hire them for $200k or $250k, or even $280k.
In the medium/long term, I don't see why wages would keep proportional to produced value.
If we double productivity per worker, we have twice as much wealth on average.
I know there are angry people convinced that this will all be consumed by billionaires and jews, but historically that is not at all the track record of the last 250 years, and I expect that to continue.
"Automating half the jobs" is the same as "double productivity per worker".
When the doubling happens in 5 years rather than 50, it might be more disruptive, but I'm convinced we're on the verge of huge improvements in human standard of living!
I expect that to continue.
Some anarchists agree with Graeber's definition. A majority probably disagrees, in many different ways.
I expect this post will be met with disagreement. Wouldn't want it any other way!
The idea that rich people are all right wing conformist republicans does not survive getting to know a few of them.
As she tells it, a lot of people had a great time!
Small companies/startups don't have insane bureaucracy, and they're hiring.
That comes with real tradeoffs, but I've never regretted that path.
My understanding is that that is already the legal situation?
4th biggest quake ever recorded in history hit at the exact spot where the tsunami could overpower the protective wall at the reactor. Yet nobody died from the radiation.
Meanwhile the 20k people who died in the tsunami are forgotten. No one demands we stop building cities by the ocean.
But it did exist, and goods were shipped between Europe and China without either side being aware the other existed, which at least I think is pretty darn amazing!
The federal government spends $20B per day. $5B of that is borrowed.
That should mean that we can focus the freed up brain power at getting better at things we still need to do.
Time will tell!

Your solution also can't be worse than the problem it solves!
Overly clear example: Killing your noisy neighbors actually achieves the end of a quiet home. But that really doesn't justify it.
If it's negative depends on if you think they deserve the hostility.
