If I were on #spotify, I’d cancel my subscription/account immediately.

King Gizzard pulled their music from the platform so Spotify has replaced it with #AI knockoffs of their music. As if paying almost nothing for streaming wasn’t evil enough, they’re now using LLMs trained on stolen content to pay artists nothing at all.

King Gizzard Pulled Their Music From Spotify in Protest, and Now Spotify Is Hosting AI Knockoffs of Their Songs

An impersonator appears to be using generative AI to poorly clone rock band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's iconic sound on Spotify.

"Al slop [...] was just vomited into existence."

About AI in writing/publishing...

#AI #AISlop

Via nocryptographer I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. Al slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with Al will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

"Medicare coverage is changing next month as telehealth flexibilities largely disappear.

The Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act extended telehealth options that were enacted during the coronavirus pandemic but ended during the government shutdown."

The order would create one federal regulatory framework for #ArtificialIntelligence, Trump told reporters.

Every #AI investment in every country is a disguised #WATER grab, WATER theft. These tech giants are literally seizing the world’s water while telling us it is about AI, technology and growth. Each one is going to lead to prioritization of corporate access to water in the name of #datastorage while starving those who need the water to simply survive. #datacenters #nature #ecology #ClimateChange

This classic Ed Zitron article will tell you more than you ever wanted to know about how corrupt CEOs advance their corporate juggernauts by any means they can get away with.
You'll also find out why NVIDIA's strange growth strategies are curiously reminding people of such historic market disasters as Lucent, WorldCom, and Enron.
In ironically saying that NVIDIA is NOT Enron, Sitron made ME think that that's only because the scale of the financial stakes are much higher today -- and, potentially more devastating.
Also the US currently has a regime that is all-in on making as much as they can off this scam before the bubble bursts.
Trust me, a lot of speculators are already shorting Ai stocks as fast as they can -- knowing that the party is about to come screeching to a halt.
Slightly off-topic side note: Trump is about to achieve a trifecta: crashing the US government and with it the economy, causing a stock market crash that will make Hoover's look minor by comparison, and destabilizing the world order leading to multiple new wars.

People concerned about the planet boiling to a point of becoming uninhabitable:

- We need circular economy! :blobcatscared:

Nvidia, helping boil the planet:

- Oh, we're way ahead of you! 🫡
