They are free to do all the things pre-approved by their governments!
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 6 days ago:
They are a transformer in the same sense ChatGPT is a transformer. And hence they do generate new content that share characteristics and patterns with existing one. It’s no clone tool. Lyrics are new. They probably follow the grammar rules of certain language, but it’s not copy paste. Chords will probably be shared, but melody is new. Etc.

You can’t always tell, I can’t always tell, bandcamp can’t always tell. And it’s only going to get harder.

Yes, I’m a bot. Here’s your cookie recipe!
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 1 week ago:
No, I get it. It’s generative. GPT: Generative Pretrained Transformer. Music generators add a diffusion layer, but it’s fundamentally new music being generated, not copies of existing songs.
My point is that it’s just another tool, that automates it even more. It’s not the same, it’s the next step.

Ok, if this is just a spam prevention I think it’s fine. Obviously I didn’t read the article (as tradition mandates).
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 1 week ago:
That’s not how transformer neural networks work…
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 1 week ago:
I disagree on all counts.
It’s not exploitative, it doesn’t exploit anyone.
It’s not trash, and if it were you wouldn’t need to regulate it because people would reject it on the merits.
The space belongs to whoever wants to create art, with whatever tools they want to do it. Gatekeeping and true Scotsman arguments are really grasping.
I don’t know what “social value” is created. A nurse or a fireman create social value. You won’t see them worrying about AI. If AI could put out fires they would definitely be interested.

What does monetary worth have to do with anything? A photo of the Mona Lisa is an exact replica, you could even make it bigger to appreciate the details better. If what you like is the picture, you can have it. If what you want is speculation and tax write offs, then you need the scarcity.

I hope you are familiar with survivorship bias.
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 1 week ago:
Same as vocaloid. Or autotune. How far do we go?
Besides, again, who cares. If you like the music, enjoy it, if not, pass.
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 1 week ago:
Well, maybe.
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 1 week ago:
Using AI to detect AI? Someone’s head is going to explode.
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 1 week ago:
So you’re saying a milli vanilli would be basically impossible to detect.
Besides, who cares? Isn’t the purpose to enjoy the music? Whether some uses a capella, instruments, electric instruments, autotune, vocaloid or AI… if you like the music, listen to the music. It’s ultimately created by a human using tools.

“please don’t criticize daddy CCP, or I won’t get my allowance”
- Comment on China calls for Maduro’s immediate release, accuses US of breaching international law 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, because the UN report will call out genocide by one of the security council members.
- Comment on China calls for Maduro’s immediate release, accuses US of breaching international law 2 weeks ago:
Denying a genocide is genocide denial.
- Comment on China calls for Maduro’s immediate release, accuses US of breaching international law 2 weeks ago:
There is no limit of number of genocides on earth at any given time.
- Comment on China calls for Maduro’s immediate release, accuses US of breaching international law 2 weeks ago:
Still it half of countries.
Also, how many of them keep colonies? Basically only Russia, unless you count the small islands France and UK keep (which local support).
China is still occupying Tibet and genociding Uygurs. So it’s not only the US, bad countries have always and will continue to do the same thing.
- Comment on China calls for Maduro’s immediate release, accuses US of breaching international law 2 weeks ago:
“Most of Europe” only if you to it by area. Europe has 30+ countries, less than half have been colonizers. If you count Russia, France UK, Belgium, Netherlands Germany, Spain and Portugal, they are surely most of area, not most of the countries.

By surface, yes.

For now…

Bad countries also have done it, or tried.

I will eat my hat if he’s impeached and convicted. Impeachment alone is meaningless, as we already saw twice.
