Central Arkansas quartet LEVELS  Kolby Carignan [vocals], Jager Felice [guitar], Jacob Hubbard [bass], and Dalton Kennerly [drums] — are thrilled to announce the April 10 release of their new album This Will Make You Feel Again via SharpTone Records. Pre-order it here. Today, the band shares the video for the double single “Fume” and “Death Dance.”

Regarding “Fume,” the band states, “The song explores the emotional weight of a relationship pushed to its limits by burnout, miscommunication, and constant internal struggle. Through vivid imagery, it captures the tension between a love that’s inevitably turning cold and the desire to try and reignite it. It is a plea for connection, an honest reflection on trying to break through emotional distance and offer refuge before everything is burned.”

As for “Death Dance,” it’s “about obsession — when one person becomes home, poison, and salvation all at once. It’s that feeling where leaving seems impossible, but staying slowly kills you. It’s caught between survival and surrender, and the song feeds from that space.”

The band retains a singular focus with the album — and that’s to elicit a visceral response.

“For us, the main priority is to make you feel something,” affirms Carignan. “If you come to a LEVELS show or listen to a record, you should leave fully nourished. We don’t create songs; we create experiences.” 

Overall, This Will Make You Feel Again is more than an album or a statement; it’s a call to action. “As creativity becomes shackled to algorithms and artificial intelligence, TWMYFA subverts the standard and unapologetically delivers emotionally charged experiences grounded in reality and rhythm,” the band declares. “Through its pulverizing riffs, electric energy, and hypnotic melodies, this release extensively explores elements of the modern human struggle—such as maintaining a sense of identity, reconciling religion with reality, and adapting in the wake of the unimaginable. From the void of collateral content, this album reaches out to offer you an escape: To feel.”

A place for an 8-bit break between levels

And this is my drawing based on the sprites from MegaMan (Nes). Morning weather. An 8-bit sky. And an 8-bit level. Before my eyes. Little men running straight from the morning. Each to their own game level. And then they meet in this place. And tell each other interesting stories.

What Do We Actually Mean by “AI-Powered Search”? – Substack- Aaron Tay

What Do We Actually Mean by “AI-Powered Search”?

When we say “AI-powered search engine,” we’re conflating at least four different things—and your concerns about one may not apply to another.

By Aaron Tay, Dec 27, 2025

I’ve been watching the reactions to Google Scholar Labs with considerable interest. The responses range from enthusiastic embrace to outright rejection. One response particularly intrigued me—someone mentioned they were initially reluctant to try because they’d heard it was “AI-powered” but became more interested when they read my review and realized what that actually meant (they expected it to generate answers to questions when all it did was do better ranking).

Another interesting puzzle was when I noticed some library guides listing Semantic Scholar as “Semantic/Neural Search” when a technical look at their main retrieval method reveals the main search is still largely lexical search.

While one can understand and agree with the listing of Semantic Scholar as “AI powered” due to clear AI features like TLDR, doing the same for Lens.org and OpenAlex is a much harder sell, because they not only just do keyword search but they lack the obvious AI features of Semantic Scholar.

It’s made me realise we might all be talking past each other because we haven’t actually defined what we mean.

“AI-powered search engine” is a handy catch-all term used by vendors, but it actually hides a diverse set of systems and functionality. In this post, I’ll dissect the different ways academic search can be “AI-powered” so you can decide which types actually cross the line for you.

I am going to argue that we often mean at least 4 different things when we call something “AI-powered search”

  • Level 1: Post-Retrieval AI Features
  • Level 2: Going beyond Lexical Search with Semantic Search
  • Level 3: LLMs for Retrieval and/or Relevance Ranking
  • Level 4: Synthesis and Generation Across Papers
  • Level 0??: Use of AI to extract, cluster, or organise metadata used for retrieval

Levels here may not be the right framing, as the four different categories are largely orthogonal (except maybe Level 3 is a subset of level 2), but they map to most common academic search products (e.g. Level 4 is usually Deep Research) and higher levels generally reflect higher risk and greater amount of pushback from librarians.

The Spectrum of AI in Search

Level 1: Post-Retrieval AI Features

Does “AI-powered search engine” mean “AI” that impacts the search process only? Not necessarily. There’s a whole category of AI features that don’t affect the search results you get at all. Things like optional summarisation of individual items (e.g., AI Insights on Ebscohost databases), translation tools, or text-to-speech features.

These are post-retrieval conveniences. You search, you get your results list (however that list was generated), and then you have the option to use AI to help you process what you found. The search itself? Unchanged.

In theory, if you don’t like these features, you can ignore them.
