    Tool - Fear Inoculum (August 30th, 2019)

    in New & Upcoming Releases

    Posted

    Well I think this is bloody brilliant personally. I was a little reluctant as I thought Fear Inoc was great as a single but I didn't know how far down the rabbit hole they'd go. They definitely went down there.

    The vocals are really beautiful. I'm getting very strong Pink Floyd vibes from this personally. Wonder if that resonantes with others?

    I've been listening to a lot of Ravi Shankar lately and can firmly recommend this:



    I think in general though anything by Rajeeb Chakraborty is amazing if you want sarode and tabla:



    I'm personally a bit obsessed by tanpura drones and would love a record just of variations of those and some tabla. Any ideas?

    AI - The artificial intelligence thread

    Haha! Good response.

    Well I'm not totally sure. I feel as though if you can teach an AI to ''learn'' and develop a ''neural network'' then isn't it already interpreting language?

    I don't know if I want a utopia. I think I just want some sort of hyperintelligent processor for otherwise flawed human thinking.

    I just watched the DeepMind AphaStar Vs pro-player. I've seen similar videos where the AI wins before as well.

    This whole topic also really fascinates me. 

    I'm sure it's already been discussed but the applications of this are just incredible right. If you look for instance at the UK political system over Brexit, if AI could have learnt through some sort of metanalysis of human behaviour and history (like it can actually objectively study the workings of human kind even though that's hugely abstract, I'm assuming it's not up to this yet)....then it makes you wonder what could happen politically.  If an AI can study the entire history of man in like a week and then process everything to come up with intellignet responses to our issues, I say go for it. 

     

    Really amazing topic.

    The thing I've realised about Peterson is that as much as he's a compelling speaker, I just find his approach unnecesarily agressive. Just not to my taste I suppose :) I feel if he was a little less intense he'd chime with more people.
