If you'd like to get enraged with me about genAI and Suno/Warner, here -- enjoy! I've got the angry rant waiting, like so much Thanksgiving stuffing (jeez i need to cut back on the USA references here -- I'm sorry!)

Warner does a deal with Suno, Udio; genAI isn't about "democratization" - CDM Create Digital Music

It's Lucy and the football time with the music industry. Having led artists into a complete disaster with streaming, they seem poised to do it again, on a grander scale, with generative AI.

Trump’s Immigration Forces Deploy “Less Lethal” Weapons in Dangerous Ways, Skirting Rules and Maiming Protesters
---

Civil rights and weapons experts cite the consequences of federal agents’ use of crowd control weapons: religious leaders shot with pepper balls and noxious chemicals. A nurse nearly blinded by tear gas. Protestors trapped, struggling to breathe.

thank you.

I added a new CI check to Drum Machine, it now automatically checks if the .pot translation template file is up to date. If I forget to regenerate it after adding/changing translatable strings (which I usually do), it reminds me :D

You can add it to your own projects as well, just copy the translation-check job from the workflow file and change the paths!

Yeah, the whole poetry-as-"prompt injection" paper sure smelled like propaganda. Turned out it is.

Don’t cite the Adversarial Poetry vs AI paper — it’s chatbot-made marketing ‘science’

Today’s preprint paper has the best title ever: “Adversarial Poetry as a Universal Single-Turn Jailbreak Mechanism in Large Language Models”. It’s from DexAI, who sell AI testing and compliance ser…

Wegen AfD-Annäherung: Rossmann kündigt Mitgliedschaft bei Familienunternehmer-Verband

Der Verband "Die Familienunternehmer" steht nach eigenen Abgaben für etwa 6500 familiengeführte Unternehmen in Deutschland. Nachdem sich die Führungsspitze öffentlich für Gespräche mit der AfD ausgesprochen hat, ziehen erste Mitglieder Konsequenzen.

Seit ich heute morgen von einem unserer Politkarrieristen was von „kultureller Identität“ gelesen habe, um die unsere Gesellschaft angeblich unermüdlich ringt, lässt mich das – nachdem ich meine spontan aufsteigende Wut willkommen geheißen hatte, wie sich das für therapiegestählte Dinosaurierdamen gehört – gedanklich nicht mehr los und ich werde meine Überlegungen jetzt einfach mal wie eine Gebäckschale in den Raum stellen.

Accrescent and Android Developer Verification

Google recently announced that starting next year, Android will require all apps to be registered by verified developers for users to install them on their devices, i.e.

когда ты едешь в лондон и тебя незнакомый человек спрашивает - откуда ты - ты размышляешь что сказать - «из Израиля» - чтобы тебя ненавидели за газу или «из россии» - чтобы тебя ненавидели за Украину

когда ты едешь в Бангалор и тебя незнакомый человек спрашивает - откуда ты - ты гордо говоришь «из Израиля» и в ответ слышишь на всю улицу «Фак, фак палестайн»

Видимо непосредственная близость к самой миролюбивой религии перебивает даже антиколониальное прошлое.

Has anyone here ever used a headband for mounting microphones for use in a Quasi-binaural recording setup?

I've used glasses for years, but I kind of want to try something different with these LOM Audio mikroUši microphones I just got for those times when I don't want to just do the clip it to your shirt thing.

Sonic Onslaught is canceled as @nick is being pulled in several different directions and has literally no time to think of what a show might look like. He apologizes for this.

Instead, enjoy the U87 comparison video he was involved in making.

to my #Blind friends, anyone has an experience with Logitech MX keys mini? is the software to customize settings accessible? i have to buy this keyboard because the down arrow on my laptop decided that he does not want to stay with it anymore. sadly, if you're a screen reader user, losing one key means losing all control.

Demand real art from real artists.

I don't even mean you should only like "good" art. I just mean we should expect human intention in all the media we interact with, & we should give no attention to the artifacts of soullessly produced "content".

If I can't see a person behind the art, I don't even know why I care. It's fascinating to watch a person make music. It's fascinating even simply listening to a recording of them. Somehow, in some way, that person is sharing something.

an diesem internationalen Tag gegen Gewalt an Frauen, intersektional denken!

Mädchen und Frauen mit Behinderungen erleben sehr oft Gewalt, je nach Gewaltform zwei bis dreimal häufiger als Mädchen und Frauen im Bevölkerungsdurchschnitt. Insbesonderen wenn sie in Einrichtungen der sogenannten "Behindertenhilfe" leben (Heime, Werkstätte, etc.)
