Darby Yule surveyed Gen Z to late millennials about music's next five years.
They want "hybrid human-AI genres with soulful textures and algorithmic precision." They want vulnerability. They want bruises in their euphoria.
His answer involves metal shows, Tom Lehrer, and the beautiful absurdity of trying to quantify taste.

Required viewing for anyone who thinks AI understands culture.
While Silicon Valley builds another recommendation engine, Scott Larson asks the real question: Why did 1000+ people answer a music survey in the age of Spotify surveillance?
Immortality? Recognition? Fifty bucks?
BC could be running AI on clean hydro while everyone else burns coal. We have the water. The power. The talent. Just need the infrastructure investment to match.Ottawa listening for 3 more weeks. Worth telling them what we actually need? vancouver.bc-ai.net/canadas-ai-s... #CleanCompute #AIStrategy
AI is already in the hallways, homework tabs, and makerspaces. Let’s gather to trade what works, laugh at what didn’t, and shape a BC‑rooted path forward.

Hosted with love by Ethọ́s Lab × BC + AI
The ED + AI initiative inside BC + AI brings people together to slow down, compare notes, and design with care: consent‑first, equity‑minded, place‑rooted.
We’re here to weave practical tools with ethical guardrails so classrooms, after‑school programs, and community labs thrive.
Surrey’s AI scene is on the rise.
From artists to engineers, students to policy nerds—we’re weaving a mycelial network across BC.
Be part of it Oct 14.
Royal Canadian Legion #8. 6-9 PM.
Because AI isn’t just tech... it’s community.

Kevin Friel will share a few words, and I’ll be in the lobby with Gabriel Zaro & Yin Lau... come say hi, swap notes, and tell us what you’re building. Community vibes by Mark Busse.

→ BC + AI Membership: bc-ai.ca/membership/
This Friday, we’re presenting sponsor at CreativeMornings Vancouver (Vancouver Art Gallery, Oct 3, 8:15-10:15am). It’s our first time taking the big stage as a new org and we’re bringing the same kitchen-table energy that got us here.
Theme: SOFT. Speaker: Cheyenne Rouleau. Music: Ryan McMahon.
We didn’t wait for permission or a perfect plan.... we started meeting up, sharing tools, asking better questions, and building in public. That’s how BC + AI Ecosystem Association came to life: a member-powered, place-based AI community that puts people over hype.
Watch + join the discussion on tools, ethics, and real pipelines.

#VancouverAI #SIGGRAPH #VFX #GameDev #NoCode #CreativeAI
Live from Vancouver: our SIGGRAPH mini report.
• Generative VFX workflow (Stable Diffusion → Nuke)
• “Creative” no-code engine: procedural worlds, physics, AI text-to-scene, one-click publishing
If you’re exploring AI as a production co-pilot in VFX or gamedev, this one’s for you.
Vancouver AI Hackathon winners turn BC + AI Ecosystem survey data into stories: one builds semantic maps, another an AGI-style data interface, and one drops a full generative album.

AI projects don’t fail for model reasons they fail for people reasons.

Key takeaways from Jos Duncan at Vancouver AI:
• Publish a clear AI ethics policy
• Name the externalities and who bears them.
• Align personal ethics with org policy.
• Advocate: educate, make collective demands, uplift good actors.

The Local Computing Revolution: Here's what Kush pointed out that nobody's discussing: Your M3 MacBook can run a 3-billion parameter model locally. So why is every keystroke going to a cloud API?
Trump's response? Remove all environmental reviews for AI data centers.
The industry's response? Build more nuclear instead of asking why autocomplete needs a power plant.
Eric Schmidt (ex-Google CEO) just admitted the US needs 92 gigawatts of new power just for AI. That's 92 nuclear plants. They've built 2 in the last 30 years.
Sam Altman's response? Invest in small modular reactors so tech companies can build private nuclear plants.
Meet Loki Jorgensen... physicist turned AI philosopher and co-lead of our Mind, AI & Consciousness crew. He cuts past buzzwords to the hard stuff
- What is mind?
- How would we know if a system is conscious?
- What should never be automated, no matter how “smart” it gets?

This is what it looks like when you refuse to let the future get built by a narrow slice of society. Diverse voices. Honest uncertainty. Every step up for debate. If you want to see what “ecosystem” really means, start here:

The real risk with AI? That the benefits don’t reach everyone. So we built this thing to make sure it does. That means working with Indigenous nations, creatives, researchers, the whole damn crew.
I dare you to find an ai tech scene this quirky, open, and hilarious.
Open mics, AI dream logs, tie-dye shirts, and people who’d rather pass the mic than talk over you.
If you only watch one thing from the last Vancouver AI community meeetup night, make it this:

Grateful for the way you, Udbhav, and your whole family roll... got my AI kicks on, but what stuck with me most is the heart you travel with.

Not every week you pick a guy up at YVR after a 17-hour flight, hand him a chai, and end up swapping stories that go way deeper than business. Vippal came to Vancouver for Web Summiut with a trunk full of AI sensor shoes and left with a bigger crew and a real friend.
Tech is easy... building a new life from scratch is fuckin' hard. Viktor does both, and still manages to catch everyone’s weirdest, proudest moments on for the gram. Glad you made it Vitya. Here’s to more road trips and all-night edits.
