@DustinD_SouOre Yes, although only with one these songs so far; others will get posted soon. In the meantime i'm posting them on Youtube as well. https://t.co/t6spExbkIX

Music videos are hard; realistic music videos are even harder. This tune is an original of mine from the POV of Merry and Pippin from Lord of the Rings. It was a quick cut - the process of creating it is collaborative with Grok, and then prescriptive to Suno+Runway

"Back to the Shire"

Grok+Suno+Runway

Once the lyrics were honed in, I recorded myself humming the melody as a guide to lock in the melodic hook of the song in Suno; then it was a process of fine tuning. The video editing process is not the long part of the process anymore, it is the songwriting and getting the tune perfect in Suno. Grok is instrumental in helping get it done as a collaborative tool.

Seems friendlier; I use both but Claude is the go to for web/app where i want intuitive interfaces. It might be placebo or habit by now, but it just feels that way. If there was a way to full port all chats to ChatGPT that would be a good onboarding step to shift from Claude fully to codex. Ultimately they seem like different tools - Codex feels more academic/reliable but less intuitive/friendly in output.

Block's dessa is easily the most natural-sounding speech i've seen of any model; it is human-grade speech; it is emotive, natural, and paced to fill natural dialogue gaps and keep the dialogue going. It's really incredible.

[jack @jack]

We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

@jack This is truly incredible.

I've updated my Xtv app to now treat Lists as channels, and created a channel named Slopcore as an example. You can see your feed on the right side (can swap between For You, Following, Mentions, etc).

This is a sneak peek at what it looks like - X should be a TV channel!

[Mark Soares @marksoares]

I’ve now built “XTV” into my Roku device, and it works seamlessly.

@elonmusk I think X should make something like this for premium users, it’s super useful for monitoring the situation.

@PeachesPeach24 Yep! https://t.co/ByRGYGWUWI

Some of you have heard my Lil' Frodo tune but there's also a Lil' Sauron clapback tune titled "Murdered in Mordor".

Made with: Grok + Suno + Kling

@GENIC0N We're gonna tunnel our way out of the matrix through recursive simulcra or wedge ourselves in the singularity core trying.

Here I was thinking that i'd invented a cool new word (Cyphernetics), and it turns out it was the name of a timesharing company from 1969. Seems like a made up company straight out of a Coen Brothers movie.

Most people forget but for a very brief time, Sony made dedicated pocket TVs like the Sony Watchman.

[Mark Soares @marksoares]

@Forbes I think his companies would be better under an umbrella brand name like Exaterrestrial. It'd be way more flexible.

Exaterrestrial (adj./n.): relating to something Earth-like on an enormous, exa-scale magnitude; a phenomenon that is terrestrial in nature but unimaginably vast.

[Mark Soares @marksoares]

@levelsio @X I think this is a good idea but still feel that a better idea is to allow subscribers to have access to that content on a platform like Xtv; all premium subscribed content will be on its own channel.

What if irony is just the universe rhyming in an attempt to preserve bandwidth?

[Mark Soares @marksoares]

@ryangr I would have guessed consciousness, not intelligence, would affect entropy - intelligence in and of itself seems neutral.

I had a lot of people request a Lil' Samwise music video, so here you go.

Grok + Suno + Runway

The whole workflow for AI slopcore music video production is tightening up to where the results can be produced much quicker. I recommend filmmakers and creatives play around with creating music videos specifically to keep their skills sharp.

Quick reminder that every single vulnerability announced was already there and was only discovered by virtue of AI tool use. It's not like the AI invented new vulnerabilities, it simply exposed them - which is precisely what you do before you fix them.
