Problem is this is a Cell vs C18 fight. Don’t let Cell win and absorb C18 :/ neither can win.

I get that you don’t need to be a professional instrument player to make good music…or be a professional composer…but if everything that takes effort, knowledge, experience and practice is done for you, what are you really contributing? Curation, maybe?

This is great for people who make indie games to focus on gameplay and structure. You can make a full soundtrack and background images in a 2 minutes for free. But you can’t say it is going to help foster the creativity that great composers valued, because you will eventually see e.g. music at the top level, as styles you can remix with some characteristics, but won’t be aware of how they are built and can be rebuilt to create something truly new.

This will limit creativity, because we will associate novelty with a high-level remix/fusion in a preset number of dimensions instead of the much higher possibilities coming from complexity underneath.

…it’s like I’m talking about low-level programming languages vs high-level ones :)

The self-repairable part is odd to me.You need to keep feeding, oxygenating it and to prevent infections, otherwise it will rot :S Besides, on humans the healing relies on blood for platelets and crusts to form and a whole immune system…it needs too much babysitting to be called “self-healing”.

I think it’s pretty clear they want to own it, not ban it.

First, they will use the rights of artists to gather popular and lawmaker support in their war against AI-content, then big labels will integrate it to turn around and screw creators over. It’s a classic.

synthetic playmates…got it 👯

I was surprised it took them this long. But this just means that labels want to own AI songmaking, this is not good for creators or listeners either. Rick Beato was talking about this today:

…but…why? What is the point of living skin on machines? Even humans do everything they can to make their skin not look human :D

Who thinks google will still be a traded company in 10 years?

What a terrible shame it would be to have a friend over to watch the telly without a loicense…🧠, wouldn’t you say?

🥱

Throw this national menace into federal max security solitary confinement, next to Hannibal Lecter >:/

Nah, some people just have other priorities… and you don’t just have to sheeple through life like it’s a checklist driven by peer pressure to move onto the next stage… you’re fine.

Maybe those services could take a hint and create a unified platform where each partner gets a cut depending on % of their content watched.

Miranda is jubilant that Plombir surprised her with a long holiday in a spanish resort for once 😎😎 🐬 🐬

Wasn’t there a new infrastructure bill recently?

PS: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrastructure_Investment_and_Jobs_Act but it doesn’t mention hospitals specifically.

Even in petrostates? But most petrostates are not run by the people or for their people, so petrostates will keep being petrostates until demand for oil in EU/China/India dries up. https://www.worldstopexports.com/crude-oil-imports-by-country/

Yea, but who builds infrastructure? Where I live, 50% of the workforce in construction is immigrants.

PS: I’m not saying what you say isn’t true, it’s just weird to see countries that were built by wave after wave of immigrants now say it’s not working anymore. What changed from then to now?

PS2: https://www.vox.com/politics/351535/3-theories-for-americas-anti-immigrant-shift probably it’s inequality making the majority of people feel like if they don’t have enough for themselves, how can new people move in?

also: I was wrong, there’s always been some pushback against the wrong kind of immigrants e.g.:

Fell down a rabbit hole, sorry for the linkdump, this stuff really puts into perspective the stuff happening in american politics today.

Depends on where you live. For a european, african or an american, it’s a bit meh. For a japanese, chinese, korean, philippine, taiwanese, vietnamese or an indonesian…it makes front page. And since this is World News and all…

It’s almost like an emotional state. What is complex for dogs is smell, the way they read the local bulletins pissted by all the locals, their health, their fertility, what they have been eating, their emotional state. And then they can leave their own peemail for others to smell and get all the latest community news :)
