TL;DR: Suno's music generator has been revealed to use millions of scraped songs and lyrics from platforms like YouTube, Genius, and Deezer, following a data breach that exposed its training methods. The company's lack of transparency regarding its datasets raises significant legal and ethical concerns. https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/966072/suno-ai-music-training-scraping-youtube-hack #law #tech #legaltech ⚖️ 🤖 #autosum

Wow didn’t know so many countries in the world have mandatory military service for men!!
@farah we’re traditionally expendable

I really appreciate this stance.
Too many people try to use "but it's useful" as a counterargument to what we say, for example, in The AI Con. Useful for whom and at what cost (to the user and especially others) should always be the immediate follow up.
@emilymbender @n1k0 Perfect, thanks for sharing
The Air Quality Index (AQI) in Toronto through the roof right now. Outdoor activities are being cancelled, and people are crawling indoors. People with respiratory ailments are suffering.
Canada's Prime Minister thinks another pipeline is going to fix our AQI. You gotta have pretty low IQ for that.
I honestly hope there's a lawyer prepping a class action lawsuit against the oil men somewhere for this.
Fun fact about Farah: I wanted to join the army when I was a kid. But I was too short (1” less than the requirement). Yeah, I’ve been suicidal for a long time
What if we ban computers from using kids instead?
Engineer identifies and explains every '90s computer seen in Jurassic Park

don't argue with people. if someone doesn't understand something you've said, and you tell them this, and all they do is argue rather than ask for clarification and help understanding, they're not looking to understand you! they're looking to prove you wrong! get rid of them!

The thing about living in a UK city during a World Cup: every 15 mins it sounds like the apocalypse is actively happening
@meljoann I can hear one person, plus my own incredibly loud thoughts.
What if we designed a computer specialized in the communications tasks we actually use computers for? In parsing, decompression, error-detection, signal analysis & cryptography, lookups, (de)multiplexing, etc? With a GPU that's not overkill for laying out & rendering documents/UIs?
I can imagine an algorithm whereby you could show it some sample (annotated) input & it'd infer a grammar!
Or how about my upcoming hypothetical Video Workstation, based loosely on the PS3?
2/3!

If anyone wants to help Mohammed, please get in touch with me or @casey so we can vet candidates and make sure it’s a reputable campaign manager (who isn’t going to run off with the money; because, fuck me, people have done that. To. People. Facing. Genocide.)
pfff you think 1-bit pixel art is cool check out my 0-bit pixel art
excuse me, did you say 0bit pixel art
Hmmm. I think the live blog rigs of the World Cup and the Blanche hearings somehow got tangled on the backend. Everybody just keeps saying "The sense of evil is palpable." over and over again.
@GeePawHill I would have but I a) care zero about football and b) am not sure what the other thing is
Sorryyy
Tell me again these are not modern Nazi's..

#England signed rendition the moment #Tuchel decided to sacrifice a forward with a full-back. The moment #Gordon left for #Konsa.
Tuchel should be sacked. It makes Southgate look like the second coming of Christ.
Meanwhile, #Argentina goes to the final by playing well, choking England on their half and using all resources possible. #Maradona would be proud.

Tango Também É Afro
"Historicamente, a presença afrodescendente na Argentina tem sido invisibilizada.
Esta presença contribuiu para a identidade argentina. Na sua publicação 'Argentina também é afro', o INADI realiza um estudo histórico sobre sua influência que, entre outras manifestações, inclui também a música e, em particular, o tango."

O tango é negro: conheça Horacio Salgán, nome fundamental e pouco conhecido do gênero
"O estilo de Horacio Salgán era único e um arranjo que passou pelas mãos dele se faz notar", pontua Edgardo Sarri, radialista especializado em tango, que conduz o programa "Todo Tango", na Rádio Melody. "Assim como ele, diversos outros músicos negros tiveram uma trajetória que deixou um legado fundamental para o tango, assim como muitas mulheres, que também não costumam ser mencionadas."
