A.I. music
Possibly of interest: "the current rush to advance generative AI technology could be "spiritually, politically, and economically" corrosive. By effectively removing people, like musicians, from algorithms and tech that create new content, elements of society that were once connections between people are turned into "objects" that become less interesting and meaningful, Lanier explained.
"As soon as you have the algorithms taking music from musicians, mashing it up into new music, and then not paying the musicians, gradually you start to undermine the economy because what happens to musicians now happens to everybody later," Lanier said.
He noted that, while this year has been the "year of AI," next year the world is going to be "flooded, flooded with AI-generated music."

The problem with A.I. and with A. C. even more, is that human societies are not prepared and matured enough in their actual conscious design to assimilate in a non destructive ways these technological revolution which cannot be even compared to writing but to the invention or mastery of fire combined with writing. We live in a world of total criminal control by corporate powers. it is not conspiracy , it is a fact. A small corporation by definition has two choices : staying small and serving well a limited base of customers or growing and serving itself and his investors. Then no corporation by design in the actual social fabric where money control not only politics but worst education and even the spiritual journeys through any working jobs, no corporation can do good for the well being of mankind.It serve himself, and his own greed by financial design and in the race to power serve his survival, NONE is good among big corporations. Not because those at the wheel are conscious criminals, not at all , they mostly had good intentions. But hell is paved with good intention. See how Gates delude himself helping humanity through vaccinations. But the end result is not well being but his own profit not only in money but his own vision is vindicated not by facts confirmed helpful but by brute forces linked to his own survival as an actor. He control the WHO. Now imagine A.I. impact on us in such societies under control. listen the last podcast of Rogan with Kurzweil where K. balbutiate in circle answering a question by the uneducated but astute Rogan about the very important aspect of PRIVACY ... K appear as a balbutiating man as if he do not understand what is at play hypnotized by his ideology ...Kurzweil is the pope of transhumanism, the idea that human must be replaced by machine for their own good. I am pessimist at short term...Very optimistic in the long run only because i do not fear death because i always had known that soul exist and is immortal. For me it is mathematics evident interpretation. Especially confirmed by Anirban brain and cosmological insight . I hope that someone will read this genius and give me an informed opinion. 😊 |
@mahgister Well articulated, and I share your pessimism... also, like you, optimistic in the long run, should we survive the short-term consequences of our actions. Read up on the Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter... this could be one of the deciding/defining moments for us as a species... |
