Yeah, I feel like penalties here should be something like 10% of revenue in perpetuity. Then companies might think twice about asking forgiveness instead of permission.

This happened to me just now (after seeing it a couple times on here today) and ~never? noticing this before...

I've been thinking of and briefly working on a similar project.

One idea is to analyze timing as well, and "trigger" things after certain sequences (so play 1-3-5 as say eighth notes and then get an in-rhythm arpeggio one octave higher) or detect the beat and play on the upbeat.

I haven't done any Rust, but this might give me a good reason to give a try.

Have you considered making it a plugin? (makes replay easier in my opinion, but brings other pain like relaunching the DAW between builds...)

I like this fairytale as an analogy for AGI, but this article misses the point.

We are the mouse.

> I don’t really believe in the threat of AGI Just like the mouse doesn't believe in the Gruffalo (until it shows up).

The mouse goes through the woods scaring the hypothetically-more-dangerous creatures with its stories (us, using our intellect, weapons, destroying habitats) until the real Gruffalo shows up.

For a bit, the mouse "uses" the new tool to scare the animals even more (as alluded, human with tool, scarier than without).

Eventually the mouse scares the Gruffalo away (analogous to the brief window when we think we have AGI under control).

The next (unwritten) chapter probably doesn't look so good for the mouse (when the gruffalo grows to enormous size, eats him and all the other animals in the woods on a sandwich, and sucks up the rest of the resources on the planet.)

Also the table mentions 8 models but there are only 6, and no underlining as claimed.

Sorry if the article or references answered this but I couldn’t quite tell if so:

What are the bandwidth requirements of establishing clock sync around 1ms?

Agree, except I think you missed the beginning of that episode.

Like there are no overnight successes, there are many prompts and maybe not the best strategies (such as “I’ll give you a dollar if you clean up”).

But it's also super confusing, is it written already? Is it coming soon? Shouldn't there be a link or some sort of indication?

I think it's been said better elsewhere but it might be: https://atp.fm/483

Pretty sure the last auction they pulled anything that was going for cheap (kitchen appliances). Fool me once…

But you can publish the output, right? And then a “third party” could train a different model on just that published material without copying it or ever agreeing to a EULA.

> Company Controlled Review Websites

Doesn’t this section make it contradictory for Amazon to sell their own products or would this section only apply to dedicated review/opinion websites?
