Comment Prepare now because (Score 1) 34

...not enough people or nations will do anything to prevent this. I'm just the messenger. There are basically 3 categories of people:

1. Those who care and are willing to sacrifice money or time to do something about it.

2. Those who care, but get distracted by other concerns such that they mostly ignore it.

3. Those who believe subject matter experts are liars or exaggerators, and thus ignore the problem.

Each of these is approximately 33%. Thus 2/3 (#2 & #3) won't do much about it, and this reflects leaders who happen to be charge of a nation at any given time.

If we get lucky, we'll figure out geoengineering without accidentally breaking something else. Otherwise we are hosed, figuratively and literally.

Comment Re:To what extent was it AI generated? (Score 1) 61

Most people who make a living off of AI produced music probably select from multiple candidate tunes made by the bot, and tweak the ones they like with prompts, and/or editing via old-fashioned sound editors.

Thus, humans are becoming vetters and tweakers rather than direct creators.

It's best if the bot generates the music as seperate tracks for each part (instrument & voice), as that makes hand-tweaking easier.

Submission + - AI-generated song tops country music chart (go.com)

Tablizer writes: A song created through artificial intelligence has made history topping a Billboard country music chart, but it has also sent shockwaves through the music industry, with artists getting vocal about the AI-generated hit.

The new country tune, "Walk my Walk" by Breaking Rust, recently hit No. 1 on Billboard's Country Digital Song Sales chart, reaching over 3 million streams on Spotify in less than a month. That success has garnered mixed reactions from music fans and artists alike, particularly on TikTok, where hundreds of users have posted videos addressing the tune and others discussing the music in the comments.

Billboard has acknowledged Breaking Rust is an AI act and said it is one of at least six to chart in the past few months alone. "Ultimately, this feels like an experiment to see just how far something like this can go and what happens in the future and in other disciplines of art as well," senior entertainment reporter Kelley L. Carter told ABC News.

"AI artists won't require things that a real human artist will require, and once companies start considering it and looking at bottom lines, I think that's when artists should rightly be concerned about it," she added. ABC News attempted to reach out to Breaking Rust's creator for comment but did not receive a response.

Comment What about the "clean room" approach? (Score 1) 64

In the clean-room approach, the other party or examiners are required to be strip-searched and to wear simple prison-like clothing as they go into a room without internet connections to examine the info in question? They can take written notes, but all notes are subject to scrutiny before being handed back.
