curious what definition of intelligence you’d suggest using in general terms & specifically regarding machine systems

it's now on the way to me. making some space for it currently GASsing for an Intellijel Cascadia:

i've seen at least one other 'ai generated album' and tried listening to it, it was shit. not interested in sharing so as not to feed these attempts for attention.

Ned Rush is doing some Max stuff in a basic enough way that a dummy like me can even understand it. forgoing MIDI too with audio rate triggers (not sure the terminology here is correct, apologies), which i believe is how AE have mentioned their stuff is all designed in Max for their systems/sync/etc.

i watched The Hunted this weekend and it was okay. a bit better than expected based on the poster, but also worse. good pacing & decent action, but also it all felt a bit neutered & rushed in ways. every aspect of the plot, dialogue, shots, etc., all was almost right, but nothing was very good. could’ve been better, would make for a good 1 season TV series thing. 6.5 knife fights out of 10

ah damn on the cutoff, sounds like you did a solid job getting that muddiness out of there whoever uploaded that first recording reupped it with some mastering, sounds better than it was for sure:

did you get on any playlists? that’s what Zephyr mentioned specifically and i’ve heard that before from others…getting on those popular playlists is super important supposedly for triggering the algorithms -
i assumed that was on there because it’s being trained on tons of low quality rips/feeds…everything’s got that washy mp3 sound to it, super noticeable in the high hats and stuff. that'll be gone within a few iterations/new companies upping the quality of data tho.

hell yeah, loved that part. crazy that they’re pulling this shit off live.

https://www.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-04-14-24/h_bf3d86fbdd612692fa143987ea7428d2 i'm sure everyone paying any attention to this saw that Iran's tried to attack Israel, with almost zero success (US was part of the defense taking out some of the missiles going towards Israel) but Israel is almost certainly going to attack Iran, to which Iran is already stating they'll 'hit back harder if Israel retaliates' so...yknow, expanded war already happening. short video laying out some of the preceeding events, with a couple of notable facts: first, this is the first time Iran has directly attacked Israeli soil, and two, at least some Iranian citizens view this partly as retaliation for the slaughter in Gaza. this is exactly the kind of recipe for continued escalation. already multiple countries involved. Zelensky over in Ukraine is speaking about today/yesterday as well.

most 'standard' beats i've heard them using live since like the 00's sets. still some obtuse/mindbending stuff in there no doubt, but does tend towards more easily-recognizable rhythms. i think you're right that most/maybe all is 'new' stuff, hard to say with the recording quality at the moment tho. soundboards are going to be fucking nuts...section right up about 1:00:00 in this Lisbon second show set had to be wild live. getting almost Sublimit vibes from it.

so the thing is, and i'm honestly not trying to be argumentative or anything, but Udio or whatever other program definitely could re'create' a track with that oddness & uniqueness, easily...if it's fed enough seed material. that's literally all that matters here...take enough seed data, make sure the program is good at finding the connecting aspects of a sound, style, etc., and is able to recreate that sound relatively accurately. i guarantee the general public would choose most any of these Udio tracks posted and claim they're more 'human' than that Aphex track tho. and the thing is, soon enough we won'tbe able to know the difference....we're already there, depending on how we want to define these things...SoundCloud is certainly already starting to get bits of Udio/Suno/whatever i'm quite sure, and Spotify has been battling a deluge of partly/entirely 'fake' artists, of which certainly some are using ML/AI/some amount of software exploitation for the sake of profit. soon enough some jackass 'musician' who was shilling NFTs a couple years ago is going to release their 'AI-assisted' album like it's some big revolutionary/controversial thing. it'll be another Jacques Greene or someone like The Weeknd/OPN or someshit. partly right, partly not i think. McDonald's/fast food has caused some amount of stopping and questioning of the nutrition, care, connection, etc. regarding our interaction with food. obv McDonald's still succeeded...and most don't have that reaction, but that reaction is part of the conversation. but yeah, lots use music exactly like you're saying....just as background. and that's okay, i think? that's gotta be the target market (see previous Spotify mention)

hopefully all this will make people start to really question why they listen to what what they listen to, what it means to them, if it connects them with the artist’s experience/story in some way… some among us will listen to any cringe Aphex-alike just because it sounds like Aphex. you’re about to have infinite Aphex-alike at your fingertips, so why do you want to hear that sound? does it matter if it was a particular artist’s take on the style that you like? or do you not care about the source at all, infinite variations of the same basic idea? do you want infinite variations at all, or just a few more tracks like Windowlicker? is it really just the sounds, that matter whether AI created or not? given the fervor around Aphex/AE/BOC/etc., it’s, at least for many, not *just* the sounds that are important but the innovation, the story, the artist…AI has none of that.

^the screaming from Bautista & one-note aspect of character from Bardem there seemed like some characterization/story/etc. was left out via editing…all that played into my thinking there’s gotta be a more full & fleshed out director’s cut on the way at some point. some characters just get sidelined a touch in these big epic stories…i believe that happened even in the book/s (as good as those are). not an excuse but nonetheless not too surprising.

that's good to hear! a poll is a good way to make those decisions, i wonder if there should maybe be a cap on how many 'featured artists' are available? if there's 50 or 100 "featured artists," is that really a help i guess is what i'm worried about? personally i like the experience of going to the AE subforum with pinned posts, unread threads, etc., or the same for artists i'm not as familiar with like Vibert, i can see the active threads easily for looking into what's popular/recent for that artist specifically...having that for more artists would be good, or any artist perhaps, if that same basic structure/experience could be maintained. idk operationally how that would work tho...
