  1. with love and care, make a similar song to tt1pd but subtract woodpecker sound 50% of the time. send message to planet autechre to ask them to please invade earth. make sure everyone is totally fuckable and has rad hair or a cool hat.
  2. he needs to mix some mushrooms in to his ketamine treatments. no one is going to mars for at least 100 years. if ever. if all the stored knowledge is lost after the catastrophe of climate collapse humans will be luck to build any kind of tech.
  3. if he does the entire 25 it seems fair since he'll probably go crazy in there. also, a prison in america for that long while climate change is happening is going to absolute hell towards the end when prisons are the lowest thing on the priority list for federal and state governments. such as it is. but whatever. i mean.. if he was treated on a proportional scale where sentences are handed out based on dollar amounts, who and how people were taking advantage of etc then it's probably not long enough since some dude who stole a tv from a local shop in 1970 is probably still in jail somewhere because he's black. i hope this starts a trend of real jail time for financial crimes. having some actual laws in places and enforcing them would be nice but the banks do whatever the fuck they want and only get fines if that. edit: read that the prosecutors were asking for 40-50 years prison time. he got roughly half what they were asking. apparently he's not handled the jail time up to now very well. 40-50 years doesn't seem out of line as a sentence.. but neither does 25. really. in 25 years is anyone going to remember this guy? i hope he serves all that time and doesn't get some parole in 7 years or commuted sentence by a future president. he seems aloof and unaware of being a criminal and instead has said "mistakes were made" but didn't ever take responsibility for his shit show. he got more time than michael milken who got ten years. he was pardoned by trump. milken is still worth billions, was banned from trading etc.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Milken wtf. such a shit show.
  4. tha back story is it's 2 polish guys who were trying to solve the issue of badly dubbed movies they watched as kids but some how made this... i suspect it'll be helpful for those lower budget projects where there's one person who does ALL the audio for the whole thing.. records, holds the boom, edits dialogue, edits the SFX and music and mixes it all. but i can't see major budget films not having all the audio personnel on board to give the movie an audio "personality". but you can bet lot's of working audio people will lose work to this.. the working class people who make effects for someone's GFX demo real and that kind of thing.. plus i'm sure someone will sit at the prompt generator thing and just make a million sounds and that's be that. it'll be like "fiver" where you can pay someone peanuts somewhere like india or china or thailand or wherever they are to do a thing for cheap on line.
  5. Say Goodbye to Sound Designers. Meet ElevenLabs’ New AI-Generated SFX https://ymcinema.com/2024/03/26/say-goodbye-to-sound-designers-meet-elevenlabs-new-ai-generated-sfx/ This is like Sora for sound effects. ElevenLabs has introduced its new revolutionary Text-to-SFX model, which can generate precise and professional sound effects from a prompt. Say goodbye to sound designers. This new Text-to-SFX model can eliminate the need for sound designers, mainly in middle-sized projects (documentaries, commercials, and short films). This is very sad. The income of a whole market segment of creative professionals is in danger. In two years or so, entire commercials (from head to toe) will be generated by a simple text prompt. - - - - - - And a different kind of Ai coverage. science and tech.. from predicting disasters, tracking fires etc to .. all the things. Can we harness the power of artificial intelligence to solve the world’s most challenging problems without creating an uncontrollable force that ultimately destroys us? ChatGPT and other new A.I. tools can now answer complex questions, write essays, and generate realistic-looking images in a matter of seconds. They can even pass a lawyer’s bar exam. Should we celebrate? Or worry? Or both? Correspondent Miles O’Brien investigates how researchers are trying to transform the world using A.I., hunting for big solutions in fields from medicine to climate change.

  9. pretty wild. so many scams w/spotify. "a single Swedish composer, Johan Röhr, has amassed 15 billion streams on Spotify under at least 656 different artist pseudonyms."

  11. Supreme Court ruled he couldn’t be removed from ballots or something. I forget the details.
  12. time stamped to around 4 minutes. he talks about his social media channels for the first bit..asking for advice on where to post stuff. whatever. then he goes into details about how average humans consume plastic in an amount equivalent to what it takes to make a credit card about every 2 weeks. based on math from a story that appeared in the guardian then goes into lot's of detail about one of the greenland ice sheets and the "tongue" that is massive and will collapse soon. how it's melting from above/below and how thick it used to be and how thick it is now. this guy has no time for bullshit economics
  13. court didn't even give a reason for reduced bond amount. trump must be in the platinum tier level of the justice system
