Artificial Intelligence (AI)

it would be genius.

Non-chat chat.

This looks way more fun (if you can get past the annoying af presenter).

Neural Radiance Fields.

Deep learning networks used to map multiple dimensions & light fields, making it relatively easy to produce navigable photorealistic models, without expensive rendering and ray tracing.

More of this please.

Galapagos, audio drama on BBC. A black-mirror dystopia about big data, I found it predictable but still had some depth.

Listened to the “What is Galapagos?” teaser and heard a lot of R4 Act. Ing. but am still none the wiser so please tell me; Does it make any reference to Leon Trotsky Trout?

As in the book, Galapagos? Haven't read it, don't think so. But yeah, production is predictably BBC drahma.

The music industry is in for a rocky ride over the next decade, was just reading up on 'Fake Drake' today. Won't be long until long lost Hendrix tapes start leaking etc

mAId ferrit AIrh kid.

DefinAItly MAIby ... am I doing it right?

CigAIrettes and AIlcohol?

Imagine signing an AI bot up to a record contract...

what riders would they want, a new server farm in Iceland?

I don't see how the advent of formulaic and derivative dross being churned out on the back of genuine talent and innovation will be any different from the preceding 4 or 5 decades.

though I do think that the biggest disruption is going to be IP & copyright related

Lolz, you're not wrong.

Other than the near fatally wounded live music side, a large chunk of the music business is just exploitation and monetisation of either the recorded sound copyright or the underlying compositional copyright.

The major labels have been kicking off because these tech companies have been using Spotify etc to feed music content to the AI algorithms. I wonder if in a similar vein to teachers trying to detect chatGBT essays, that they'll be able to use AI to reverse engineer a copyright infringement claim.

In a strange full-circle the roll of the record label has become quite relevant again in cherry picking artists to promote because of the sheer volume of music being produced which is flooding the digital service providers (100K daily uploads to Spotify).

use AI to reverse engineer a copyright infringement claim.

I've been reading about & playing with PANNs (pre-trained audio neural networks), which are being used to examine music to see if it is sufficiently similar to something else to make a lawsuit worthwhile.

The very lobbying & copyright legislation and case law that the recording industry is responsible for is going to be the same thing that fucks them into the ground.

Interesting. When you hear those guys discussing adding new "conversational capabilities" to that thing (e.g. tell me about your last mission), the mapping of intent to response seems very deterministic, i.e. they need to think of the possible questions the thing will be asked ahead of time.

Feels like ten-years-ago chatbot tech?

Yes, I guess the pace of development will be magnitudes shorter though, closing the tech-gap quickly?
