I fully agree with @adsell regarding physical media and I refuse to give up on my huge library of CDs, SACDs, Blu-Rays and DVDs. I am equally a movie buff and music lover and a huge percentage of my video and audio collection will probably never be available for streaming. I believe that physical media will not completely disappear but will become a niche market as it already is with vinyl and there will probably be a limited amount of players available to fill this need. Criterion and Blu-Ray.com still show a steady stream of new releases for both 4K and Blu-Ray so it’s not dead yet.
The end of physical media is neigh
Very sad news for me personally. Honestly this struck me as hard or harder than hearing about the death of a beloved artist. With the advent of machine learning and AI controlling our music listening we are becoming a world without any control at all over our music or movie culture.

if you want to listen this 4 minute video you will see the efficient "creativity" of A.I. as it is for the public (not for the industrial military complex ) right now and it is interestingly frightening as fascinating : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HvFoZAjyBU
For sure it is frightening for an old pop born 74 years ago not for a kind of 10 years old... The world is changing... I hope only that our computing brain engineers will not erase the body/soul/spirit bequeathed to us by the Greek... |
Now a sad note and a claim about the person discovered dead, Sujir Balaji a whistleblower who accused Sam Altman and Chat GPT of stealing:
In October, Balaji told the NYT: "ChatGPT and other chatbots are destroying the commercial viability of the individuals, businesses and internet services that created the digital data used to train these A.I. systems."
This marvellous technology arrived in a very ill social fabric and will not improve it so marvellous it is and could be... Corporate power will use it first and last, guess for what ? For profit and control... Only an ostrich with the head in the sand will oppose to these evident problems : "You are so pessimistic and ignorant about this marvellous mathematics ! " The mathematics in the A.I. is mathematics of engineer levels. it is not Gauss, Riemann or Grothendieck...The success of A,I’ is not a deep discovery in maths it come from ideas inspired long ago from neural network tech coupled to statistics.Engineers matter and pluridisciplinary implications which make it complex. Technology is not science.Science is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Vibrating sound sources is not air waves, air waves are not sound,sound is not music.
