Guys just remember it’s actually kind of beneficial for Hegseth to remain through the next congress.
Once he is out, and dems control the senate, good luck confirming another psychopath like Hegseth to SecDef
TLDR on the Big Walk article. Some awards judges say they won’t vote for games that used gen AI during development. House House used a chatbot to help fix bugs. The studio says it didn’t use AI to make the game’s art.
The example they gave was a bug in Unity’s graphics system. The game kept trying to draw shadows from objects way behind the player, so it ran about half as fast for a bit at sunrise and sunset. The devs dug through the code and even asked someone at Unity for help. A chatbot eventually suggested a workaround, which the devs had to change quite a bit to get working. The fix ended up being about 10 lines of code.
This is where I wish people had a little more nuance. I’m all for calling out gen AI when it rips off artists. I also think asking a chatbot why your game runs like garbage at sunset is a different use from asking it to make the art players see. You can have concerns about how the chatbot was trained and still care about what the devs actually used it for. That detail matters to me.
Everyone and their mother was singing Big Walk’s praises. Now I’m seeing people curse out and wish bad things on the same devs who made a game they were just having fun with. You’re allowed to enjoy a game and disagree with a choice the people making it made. I just think going after them personally over what sounds like a pretty minor use is a bit much. Like, can we at least get past the headline first?
@wifeqiandai The amount of chuds who are commenting their pedo
"filth" picture instead of enjoying pretty jiggly lady proves how much of a loser all of them are..
also AWOOGA AWOOGA
So let me get this straight.
We control the White House, the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, the DOJ and the Legislatures of red states and we still can't prevent Democrats from committing massive voter fraud with a simple algorithmic hack?
God help us. I'd almost rather believe this was a free and fair election and that we aren't this bad at our jobs.
Spotify just announced a feature that could either save the music industry or destroy it.
Starting as early as Q1 2027, Spotify Premium subscribers will be able to use AI to transform any participating artist’s song into a completely different version. Turn a folk ballad into a dance track. Make a hip-hop song sound acoustic. Generate a cover where one artist’s voice performs another artist’s song. Remix a pop hit into lo-fi study music. Create the version of your favorite song that only existed in your head until now.
The remixes will be uploaded directly to Spotify. They’ll appear in playlists. They’ll count toward the original song’s chart position. And most importantly the original artist will earn royalties every time someone listens to a fan-created remix of their work.
Spotify has already signed a landmark licensing deal with Universal Music Group the world’s largest record label. Negotiations with Sony Music and Warner Music are ongoing. The feature will cost an additional $4–$5/month on top of Spotify Premium. And analysts project 7–8% of American subscribers will adopt it by 2028.
This is not Suno or Udio generating music from text prompts. This is fans remixing real songs by real artists with the artists’ permission, on the world’s largest streaming platform, with royalties flowing back to the creators.
A music industry analyst who’s covered streaming economics for 15 years told her team something after reading the licensing agreement that reframed how she understood the future of recorded music.
“Spotify just turned 640 million listeners into 640 million potential remixers. The question isn’t whether people will use it they will. The question is whether paying artists for fan remixes solves the economics of streaming or creates a world where the original recording is worth less than the infinite remixes generated from it.”
Here’s what Spotify’s AI remix feature actually is, who wins, who loses, and why this might be the most consequential decision in the music industry since the launch of streaming itself 🧵
@StacyCFS@CorySmidt It is literally two different candidates from the Democratic Party facing the EXACT same opponent. You really can’t get more apples to apples than that.
How about you ask the question you really want to ask? Like about his race or religion or whatever.
@StacyCFS@CorySmidt Also by this account, El-Sayed beat Rogers MORE CONVINCINGLY than Slotkin did, and peeled away voters from the GOP in order to achieve these numbers.. So yeah he totally "depressed" a vote...
@StacyCFS@CorySmidt Just wanna point out that El-Sayed out ran and outpaced Elissa Slotkin from 2 years ago. He also actually got over 50% of the vote and nearly matched presidential election numbers in a midterm. So no, he didn't depress Benson's numbers.
America don't stop now, remember as you are renewing your health insurance plans that the prices are going up so much because of the BBB. This is completely republican's faults and I hope that we can at least keep them from causing any more harm to us in the coming years.
HEY FOOTBALL FANS IF THIS EXISTS YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE A CHEAP COMFORTABLE TRAIN TO EVERY NFC NORTH CONFERENCE GAME JUST SO YOU KNOW SO THIS IS REALLY COOL ACTUALLY #Lions#Packers#Vikings#Bears
Schumer: What I do as the leader is I'm the orchestra leader. I am not the best bassoonist. I highlight that person. I am not the great virtuoso singer. I highlight that person.
@leviSherwood38@Reinita625 People making that much were taxed at 50% until the Reagan Administration in the 80s and businesses before that were still hiring employees. Not only that, but during the time where the rich were taxed this much you could actually afford a home on a single income.
