Let's talk music, no genre boundaries


This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.

I had a long session with chatgbt about developing a physics that might have been seen through a feminine lens, rather than our very masculine physics. I had the questions and chatgbt knew quantum physics pretty well. Together, we put together a very interesting "feminine" physics. Space is the primary element from which matter and energy are born. Anyway, there are pages and pages. I very much enjoyed that rleationship with AI.

I was listening to some great composer (Zuben Mehta?) being interviewed. When he was asked what piece of music he would like played at his funeral, he said, "Schubert's String Quintet in C" (D. 956, Op.Posth 163). I think this might be Schubert's deepest and most spiritual piece.

The truth is simply evident : What power mankind will delegate to a.I. mankind will had the consequence  that  mankind loose his ability to create it again in himself from himself..

Yes. And in the US, at least, this process of "delegation" will be dictated by those who have the most to gain from it, financially.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will check it out.

On the AI issue, I think it will also be used in science. I watched a series last night called "Mind in the Universe." It talked about science. One episode was about a scientist trying to create simple life forms made made of something other than carbon and water. He assumes that life around the universe uses varied chemical structures. AI was instrumental in his endeavor.

Research is expensive. The question is: who funds the research and what are their ultimate aims/agendas??? 

 

@stuartk 

Good question. Although, I do know that there is still a lot of "pure" science research going on. The Cern collider costs many billions of dollars to look for the Higgs particle. Now that they've found it, they have no idea what to do with it. I used it in my book to make a time leap. That was worth billions.
