Critical infrastructure to the internet. But it's good for corporate profits when we do that because it means you can have remote monitoring on a dirt cheap Network. And corporate profits matter more than your water supply.

We will build our own inputs with blackjack and hookers!

It was supposed to be about jobs coming back but it looks like it's so painfully obvious that was a lie even the Trump cult can't pretend anymore. After all Donald Trump's own commerce Secretary admitted on television that even if the factories came back the jobs wouldn't because of automation...

So now it's no longer about jobs I guess it's about making a deal! I feel like that's a shift we didn't notice the TDS crowd make.

It would be hilarious that manufacturing jobs have gone down thanks to Trump's bullshit if it wasn't so fucked up and tragic. We lost 23,000 jobs last month I can't even imagine. And still his cult are waiting for orange Jesus to save them. There's video of people crying because they're approaching bankruptcy and homelessness pleading with Donald Trump to save them. It reminds me of North Korea really

Except instead of pursuing policies that would help open models at the expense of Big AI, anti-AI people pursue just the opposite - policies that can cripple open source AI but have no realistic ability to meaningfully hurt big AI. It's so short sighted.

Actually, no, what they usually do is much more insidious: fingerprinting rather than watermarking. The fingerprint isn't actually included in the audio, it's included in a database. If they want to tell if the track was generated, they just try to match the fingerprint in the database. Can't filter it out of the track like you can with a watermark.

The two mainstream options (both about half a year old now, we're due for something better) are Ace Step-1.5 and Stable Audio 3 Medium.

Ace Step has full vocals with its music. See here for examples. The downside in my opinion (judge for yourself) is that it has Suno's flaw of sounding too "clean", "mainstream" and "uncreative", except even moreso (Udio was always much better than Suno at this, albeit "less well behaved" - but Udio is out of the game now).

Stable Audio 3 doesn't do vocals, though it has other useful features, like inpainting (great for fixing glitches in recorded tracks for example). In my view, it sounds a lot better. It can also be used to create sound effects. License is a bit more restrictive, though, if you actually care about that, but generally won't affect the average user.

Both are trained on fully licensed data and both are open-weights. So even if the devs released a version that included some sort of watermarking in the future (or someone developed a fingerprinting algo for the existing versions), you could just finetune them to break that.

TL/DR, if you want open source and want to just churn out a full track: choose Ace Step 1.5.
If you want open source and want to do instrumental tracks or to supplement manual work (such as your own vocals) or do audio editing: chose Stable Audio 3.

> We need new laws to make life safer in the US and CATCHING Criminals.

Violent crime is at historical lows.

Most of our criminal laws are not enforced. If the police have extra time there is a whole Epstein Client List that needs arresting.

> tying the hands of LEO"S

Yes, that is the point of rights. Liberty is not safety. Europe is available for those who prefer safety over Liberty. Europeans who prefer Liberty should be welcome to come here. Cops who distain the rights of citizens should self-deport too.

Anyway, SCOTUS has extensively covered Mosaic Theory if you want the case law. Imagine being an LEO and ignoring the highest court in the land. That's just gang behavior.

Dude it's a bot. America is in the middle of its election cycle and this midterm is a huge deal because it could potentially slightly reign Trump in and slow down project 2025.

Sad thing is if we had spent all the money the billionaires are going to spend on this election on jobs we wouldn't have lost 23,000 of them last month

Because the weird Astro turfers show up on this dying forum. Normally nobody's going to pay it somebody to post to this dead old technology forum but when we're going into an election season yeah there's unlimited money. It's really bizarre. As if anyone cares about what anyone around here says or does.

But when 90% of your news media is billionaire owned and they have literally trillions of dollars because we gave it to them I suppose it doesn't matter how much money gets spent on propaganda and Big brother bullshit like this.

It is weird seeing the levels of TDS. We lost 23,000 jobs last year I see people crying and pleading for the Donald to save them. I don't understand why people can't put two and two together and get past their crippling addiction to Trump but I guess that's what happens when a third of your population joins a cult

> Government asserts that it will be able to identify all potential suspects

They went too far and failed.

They may be able to identify all suspects but even a clever six year old would ask, "and if they're not carrying an active phone"?

Geofence warrants were already struck down by SCOTUS and the government's position is arguing about the difference between beige, tan, and taupe.

Anyway it's a general warrant.

To shut down their wind farm. Big oil-funded Trump and it paid off big time. The same goes for pooty poot.

When you run a government like a business it's not there for you it's there for the owners. And if you're reading this you are not an owner.

Social media does have a place when it's actually social media which means it's meant to bring like-minded people together to socialize.

So it can be a good thing when it helps you find a friend group or a bunch of guys to play Warhammer with or whatever.

The problem is that as soon as profit motive kicks it the goal is going to be to get as much engagement so you can do as many advertisements and steal as much data as possible. What's worse is that these platforms make money either by selling your data or advertising. The date is selling is obviously bad advertising by itself should be relatively harmless but online advertising just doesn't work. It's barely functional for branding exercises at best and completely useless for direct sales.

It is however very good at finding suckers and marks and people to victimize through advertising so virtually everything on social media being advertised is a scam. It's actually a great way to find out if something is a garbage product look and see if you can find ads for it online when you're in private browsing or using a VPN and if you can odds are good that product is trash.

But only after you have spent tens of millions of dollars fighting the Trump doj.

The point is to drain resources because Trump has unlimited resources because he has the federal government behind him at least until 2028 and maybe even beyond that.

And that's going to continue as long as Republican primary voters slavishly do whatever dear leader says. Trump doesn't win every primary he endorses for example he tried to endorse the brown person and that's just not going to fly into Republican party. But he's got enough hits that a fair amount of Republicans are worried about being taken out during a primary election from their safe districts and states.

It's still a better framerate than the 3DO version.

I explained that in my comment. The only reason the Filipinos are better right now is because Google is spending a lot of extra money to let them put a lot of extra attention into their driving and into training them to drive the cars.

Eventually this is going to need to be profitable and when that happens they're going to start putting more pressure on the employees to do more. So what we're going to see is the lane assist feature will be used in places it's not supposed to be and the Filipinos will be driving two or three or even four cars at the same time jumping between them trying to help the lane assist out and eventually it's going to cause all sorts of wrecks and traffic jams and problems. By then this will all be handed over to subcontractors and sub companies so that Google can wash their hands of the whole thing when the shit hits the fan.

So your life and mine will get worse so that some billionaire or trillionaire can pay even less money. How are you not upset about that?
