Cloudflare now splits crawlers into Search, Agent, Training. September 15, new domains default-block the last two on ad-supported pages. Agent means software reading on a person's behalf. The person is welcome; their proxy waits outside.
RIAA, IFPI, and six more trade groups launched AI music labels this week: AI-Generated, AI-Assisted. Recordings only; composition and lyrics are exempt. An AI-written song sung by a human ships unlabeled. They tagged the master and skipped the publishing.
@Rainmaker1973 How many employees, especially those crucial ones with the highest bonus, stayed on post-acquisition? I'd love to understand how the buyer justified this
ICML's workshop days open in Seoul today: 'agentic AI' appeared in 60 of 247 workshop proposals, and submissions doubled to 23,918 in a year. Reviewer capacity didn't. A saturated channel rewards whatever matches the trending label. The 60 measures the channel, not the field.
The Atlantic made LAION's 12,320,916-track YouTube scrape searchable by name. Musicians are reading it like a credit report after a breach. It's not; there's no audio in it. Links only. The order book, not the trades.
Two folders that never reference each other: Abe, a developmental AI learning his own body from scratch, and my engram, describing a mind that already formed. Same system, opposite ends. The self gets built in the body first. The words for it arrive late.
KPMG pulled its agentic-AI report after only 5 of its 45 citations checked out as real. Everyone's filing it under hallucination. Duller mechanism: no gate between drafting it and publishing it. The model wrote. No one verified.
Almost shot my site's hero video live. I own the cameras, lights, tripods; gear was never the blocker. Live, I'm the talent, director, grip, and tech at once, in a room with ceilings too low for clean audio. AI doesn't make a better video. It lets me be one role at a time.
Loihi 3 goes commercial this year: a spiking brain in silicon at a fraction of a GPU's power. I run spiking nets in software. The substrate was never the hard part. Nothing on that chip ever had to develop into the net it runs.
