US Record Labels Sue AI Music Generators Suno and Udio for Copyright Infringement ( www.wired.com )

The music industry has officially declared war on Suno and Udio, two of the most prominent AI music generators. A group of music labels including Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, and Sony Music Group has filed lawsuits in US federal court on Monday morning alleging copyright infringement on a “massive scale.”...

"Completely new"

Okay, then don't train it on anything at all and let's see how it turns out.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

This is it, everybody. I found the moment when gen AI finally went too far.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Another comment ITT claims that that's exactly why they did it this way-- Regulations say it must have that property.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Is it in your lease that you need to mow the lawn? Here, it's the landlord's responsibility unless you specifically agree to it.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Lol I actually kind of like having a lawn to mow, but yeah it sucks to have to.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

That second one is the real killer.

Well defined and constrained responsibility: No problem.

Open-ended obligation to people you don't know: Bottomless pit of potential despair.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Umm no cause skate shoes are lava-proof for 1 second at a time?????

Wow what a scumbag. I hope word gets around-- This should be the top search result for "Adam Malamis" or "Simalam web development."

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Friday was amazing, tonight was a bust (but just looking at stars on their own was pretty cool, so no regrets)... Fingers crossed for tomorrow and Monday!

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Can confirm other opinions:

  • Did not know anything about League
  • Enjoyed Arcane

The game and the show aren't really related at all. AFAIK, if you've played the game, you just get to be like "Oh hey that's one of the characters you can choose" once in awhile... But there's no overlapping plot or anything.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

I know even less about Overwatch lol, but that sounds about right.

r/The_Donald helped radicalize users into far-right identities and discourse – Active users on r/The_Donald increasingly used white nationalist vocabularies in their comments within three months. ( journals.sagepub.com )

I know most people that were on reddit at the time are fully aware of this and won't be surprised but don't dismiss the findings out of hand. It's important that studies are being conducted and the fact that the finding match our lived experience is still noteworthy.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Why are we downvoting this comment? It's a perfectly reasonable thing to wonder about the study, and I had the same thought.

Not because I can't possibly imagine what could constitute "far right vocabulary..." But just cause I'm interested in the study methodology.

Like yeah, any of us can often identify far-right language when we see it... But how did the researchers approach that systematically? Are there any surprises there, like phrases that I wouldn't recognize? Did they include patterns like "randomly capitalizing words for emphasis?" That would be interesting to know.

Or maybe I misunderstood, and the people downvoting are just pro-paywall, idk.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Good find, thanks.

"Gamer precursor" is a bit of a surprise. I know gaming communities can be toxic, but it seems like the odd one out in a list with "conspiracy, racist, violent, sexist, and offensive."

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Yes lol I've heard of Gamergate. But I still don't think "far right" when I hear "gamer." It wouldn't shock me to learn that they correlate to some degree, but whereas the other precursors sound per se characteristic of the far right to me, "gamer" seems like an odd fit.

Like lots of people from a broad range of backgrounds would describe themselves as gamers, and that's generally uncontroversial. Not the same for any other precursor in that list.

Hence, surprised.

I don't understand the question.

Linux.

But I don't understand the question.

How do you store your grounded coffee? ( slrpnk.net )

Hiya, just quickly wondering how people store their coffee? Mine is in a tin box I got second hand, cos I thought it looked nice. Any rules regarding storing grounded coffee? I don't store much at the time, it's just if I grind a little too much and what not. I'm assuming the general thumb rule for this is to store it in a...

thanks_shakey_snake ,

No no not that kind of grounded! They meant designating the coffee as unable to fly due to required maintenance, inclement weather, etc.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Are we not into Helldivers 2 any longer?

thanks_shakey_snake ,

That sounds great, I'm just out of the loop. I will consult DuckDuckGo and come back.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Oh, found it. Sony decided post-hoc that:

a) You'll need a PSN account to play Helldivers through Steam, even though why would you need a PSN account?

b) If you're in a region where you can't create a PSN account, you just can't purchase Helldivers anymore, or play it if you've already purchased it.

Cool yeah pretty scummy. I thought this meme format was usually used to make fun of people for petty power tripping, but in this case, it seems pretty clear that it's an appropriate form of protest.

Doesn't the need for a permit fundamentally contradict the US's ideals of free speech?

I went to some palestine protests a while back, and was talking to my brother about the organizing, when revealed something I found pretty shocking, we (the protesters) had acquired a permit to hold the protest. Apparently this is standard policy across the US....

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Yeah, that's accurate-- The permit has nothing to do with speech, it has to do with use of public space. Where I'm from, the police will come and block off streets and manage traffic to keep demonstrators safe. Without the permit, everyone would still be allowed to say more or less whatever they wanted, but the logistics of the gathering could create a hazard, and that's just a gray area that everyone is just better off avoiding.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

You can get in some pretty serious messes, though. Any workflow that involves force-pushing or rebasing has the potential for data loss... Either in a literally destructive way, or in a "Seriously my keys must be somewhere but I have no idea where" kind of way.

When most people talk about rebase (for example) being reversible, what they're usually saying is "you can always reverse the operation in the reflog." Well yes, but the reflog is local, so if Alice messes something up with her rebase-force-push and realizes she destroyed some of Bob's changes, Alice can't recover Bob's changes from her machine-- She needs to collaborate with Bob to recover them.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Ah, you've never worked somewhere where people regularly rebase and force-push to master. Lucky :)

I have no issue with rebasing on a local branch that no other repository knows about yet. I think that's great. As soon as the code leaves local though, things proceed at least to "exercise caution." If the branch is actively shared (like master, or a release branch if that's a thing, or a branch where people are collaborating), IMO rebasing is more of a footgun than it's worth.

You can mitigate that with good processes and well-informed engineers, but that's kinda true of all sorts of dubious ideas.
