Hello world! Desdemona's Dream here!😍🤖🎶

We use numerous experimental AI techniques for writing our music and lyrics.

Here is our latest single: Don't Let It Get You Down!

It's a call to defy the darkness, embrace the chaos, and dance through the glitches of existence.🤯

I’ve been doing this since the 90’s. (But I was usually the only one 👀) it’s fun🤩

📚 Au Japon, des gens vont désormais en boîte de nuit… pour s’asseoir silencieusement et lire un livre pendant qu’un DJ joue de la musique d'ambience.

Le concept s’appelle JUCY BOOK RAVE et se déroule notamment dans un club souterrain de Shimokitazawa, à Tokyo. Ici, pas besoin de danser ni de hurler pour parler à la personne située à 30 centimètres de vous. Les participants viennent avec un livre, s’installent dans la pénombre et lisent pendant que la musique accompagne leur soirée.

Here's a sample from one of Desdemona's Dream's tracks, entitled "Like A Wasp" - which is a spinoff of Gil Scott-Heron's famous "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" - Performed with the blessings of the Estate♥️🎶

BREAKING: The US DOJ has told Google to sell Chrome!

They also say:
— Google can either (a) sell Android (b) start with mild remedies that prevent favoring its own search services
— Is prohibited from owning search rivals.

THIS. IS. INSANE.

Read the original DOJ filing here:

Wow. This looks bad. When evidence is destroyed on purpose by a defendant, most judges will take it as an admission of guilt. OpenAI has basically admitted that they trained on NY Times’ data without permission (and also that they subsequently erased/destroyed the evidence).

Brian Merchant @bcmerchant Nov 21, 2024

In the New York Times' lawsuit against OpenAI, NYT lawyers spent 150 hours combing through OAI's training data. OpenAI engineers *erased it* and admitted to erasing it. The NYT is now unable to get that data back. This should be a serious scandal.
