Do you have any albums that take you to an exact time and place?I have a bunch. For me, music is tied very strongly to memory of place. I tend to remember exactly where I was or what I was doing whenever I hear a new song.For me, I have a deeply vivid memory of listening to Sufjan Stevens' album "The Avalanche" on my iPod, as I laid in the sun in my parents' back yard, one month before I moved to Pittsburgh and left my old life behind, basically for good.

The sun was scalding hot, and all I had was a towel to stay cool. I don't remember why I was outside during it, but many of the songs "feel" like a hot summer's day to me.

The song, "The Avalanche" bleeds of leaving home, never to return.

@ernie you know, I have to wonder if the inaction on prosecuting LLM training companies actually introduced a legal loophole for libraries.Consider that right now, the American legal standard is that GenAI output is considered a derivative work, even if it derived it from 30 billion works. I wonder if the Internet Archive "chunked" editions of books together into a specialized model, could they then "loan" the book out by inferencing a near exact but legally 'distinct' copy of that work?

@ernie after all, coaxing an LLM to reproduce a reference work basically in full is pretty established research at this point. We know it's possible — it's how the tech started, by being able to reproduce a ground truth image despite never having actually been exposed to the original file.I dunno, I'm just some idiot online.

Huh. WebEx Meetings integrated spacial audio, distributing speakers around so it sounds like they're on a stage.

@campbell what if I'm tone policing the police? Cop: "At this time, we have no additional leads." Me: "That's a little harsh, don't you think?"

@mos_8502 I always say that it's because I know bullies when I see them, and I'm not about to sit here and let random people get bullied by comfortable dipshits.

@campbell I'm not stealing movies, I am using their visual data to train a miniaturized island of expertise inside my organic inferencing engine.

I am not sure Elon is doing a very good job at courting the Swiftie audience. Threatening sexual assault is a bold move to entice women, but, here we are.

@davidrevoy @serge i didn't expect to wake up today to advice from an artist i admire. thank you for replying david!honestly you're right, i used to do the same thing and would stream it, which was enough to get a little creative boost.my day job is 100% design and illustration, so it's just always one of those things like in seinfeld where jerry tries to date a masseuse, lol.

@codemonkeymike i am so fucking sick of being EIGHT YEARS into this nonsense and we still have people saying "hmmm i don't see a swastika, so i don't see any fascism."it's here, man! during trump's tenure, he was abducting american citizens and torturing them at black sites for having the gall to protest a black man getting murdered by police.

@codemonkeymike this is part and parcel of a _global_ rise in violent authoritarian thought. look at what India is like now, and use that as your measuring stick of just how far we're going to go.
