I learned a really valuable lesson in first grade. My friend Daniele had a really nice belt-buckle, but he was wearing it upside-down. I was like: Daniele, why is your belt-buckle upside-down? And he was like: so when I look down, I can turn it up and look at it.

Daniele was a pretty wise kid.

When he asks to see their code, they send him a single file.

Sounds interesting. Glad those topics are still being investigated. So important to remember that even those neural methods labored for decades in the shadows before they finally found the answers they needed.

“discrete AI” (probably has a few other names)

• symbolic AI
• traditional AI
• GOFAI (good old fashioned) AI

Kinda sounds like you’re talking about Explainable AI too. Very interesting set of fields, but I’m pretty sure they’re all having funding problems too.

But wat if you’re indoors and have limited room for maneuver?

Same energy as an unhoused cat choosing its new home.

I suggest you hold out for a Scooby-snack.

A day that will live in infamy! But in a good way. A day that will live in famy!

There was a sumo wrestler who would do something similar, except he’d bounce up and down and grasp with his hands…

The tournament organizers made him quit doing it tho…

What are ya, vegans? Real Men sip crude, just like God intended.

no one has cared since record executives have been generating AI generated tier music by hand.

Reminds me of this NYT video about how a pop song is made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaAv5AiBRgY

At the beginning, a musician at a keyboard composes the basic tune. Then a whole series of MFers overproduce it to hell. At the end, the original musician happens to meet the singer who did the human part of the final rendering and is the “star” who everybody watches perform. In a better day, the original musician would be the star, but in this process they are insignificant.

FIFA put the full game on youtube, btw (availability may vary by country): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6sbfskaTDQ

The beatdown starts around here: https://youtu.be/L6sbfskaTDQ?t=1453

I’m pretty sure the article is at least mildly ironic. I don’t think he literally believes that “nobody cares if music is real any more.” Towards the end he talks about how AI music is not really art, and it lulls you into oblivion. The writer’s a legit scholar with an academic interest in video games, btw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Bogost

• Naked Lunch soundtrack
• Eraserhead soundtrack (especially side B)
• Nine Inch Nails, Ghosts

kinda like an… opium? …of the masses?

Anime pillow gets the mattress.

To tie the bag shut, ofc.
