Some people posting some samples from Udio which is a new AI music app. It is a step function jump in the previous generations of AI music apps. These apps work by you feeding them custom lyrics, you then prompt it with a style, genre, etc and out pops a few iterations and then you work on creating a longer version of one you like. They have obviously been pretty far away from creating anything decent beyond the novelty value, that is until now. Still in private access only but these are a few of the samples beta tester have been posting.

Conners is always a good shout but it being wet on day 1 hinders him a small bit I think.
Scheff getting receptive greens on day 1 mean I'm gonna have a bet on Scheff first round leader.
Min Woo seems to be carrying an injury so I'll not be placing that one.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

I’m not altering anything as a result. Might take some in running if there are stoppages.
Not really on pairings more a younger player playing with Tiger (like Neimann a few years ago).

Xander is one of my picks though, he gets through day 1 in a decent spot and I think he has a very decent chance.
Very hard to look past Scheffler as the week wanders on. Odds are trash but it seems to be lining up for him.

For the Masters. I think Hideki Mats is trending up.
My picks. Hideki, Rory , and Wyndham Clarke. (maybe last nights runner up Denny Mc for his form , big outsider)
Shefflr. the world no1 is an obvious pick but his odds are the lowest I’ve seen since Tiger days. Incidentally Tiger will be there and I hope he plays well and justifies the wall to wall coverage he’ll receive.
In the wimmins matchplay final last night Leona was overpowered. How she hits those hybrids so accurately is amazing . If she get’s a few extra yards in her game she’d be up there challenging every week. Laying up on a par 4 from the rough type o thing won’t cut it at the elite level on a consistent basis. She has great talent though.

I suspect most kids probably won't give a shite if future music is made by computers or people but I doubt if it will ever have a premium attached to it outside of streaming revenue gained by the few companies who will try and monopolise the monetisation of it.
So it will replace some human music for sure but it won't replace the human desire to create. Indeed too may even increase the premium cultural value of learning instruments, creating and performing music.

Aren't you ripping out some of the last remaining ways for many artists to stay afloat while trying to find success Benny? You have an already struggling ecosystem with the streaming model and you are now going to rip out revenue from most of the last remaining niche ways in which they made money on the side.
I see James Blake has tried to start a music service similar to OnlyFans but for musicians. I don't now how much traction it is getting though.

Lots of data from Spotify here - just over a quarter (66,000) of the approx. 225,000 emerging or professional artists received $10,000 or more and just under 12,000 earned $100k.
Spotify says it paid over $1 million to 1,250 artists in 2023. Who are they? The list is a mix of older and younger artists, from AC/DC to Jelly Roll.
Artists CAN get decent scores from publishing if their music is used commercially but I suspect AI could potentially do that in.
Anyone who wants to make a living at music these days realistically has to do it live AND do it live a lot to make enough to pay the bills (including selling plenty of merchandise).
I don't think AI will ever replace 'live' music (even 'live' music which is just a neckbeard standing at a laptop screen - plenty of those make adventurous sounds BTW) unless it is just used as another 'instrument' and TBH people have been doing that for quite a long time, writing their own software etc... so it COULD (and you could argue has been for some time) become part of the creative process but don't see how it ever really exist as a standalone art form in the way human created music does.
Incidentally, it will be interesting to see how streamers (lead by Spotify of course) will deal with any 'deluge' of AI content which could potentially render their business model obsolete. Pretty sure they will already have plans to police the shit out of that and if anyone is going to make money from AI music they will want to be sure it will be them.

Poured my heart and soul into the Psychology module in college and put a tonne of work into the final essay because I want to do a Psychology masters when I'm finished my teaching masters to work as a psychologist/counsellor in a school and got rewarded with a fuckin A.

I think Spotify have been investing heavily in AI themselves so I am sure they have a few things in the works.

Worth reading this on the practical state of AI:
It seems like there is going to be enough intellectual capability in the new models (this bit is me extrapolating) to do just about every admin job in the world. But most importantly it will be able to do it to the point where you won't want people doing that job as they will be reliably worse.
But the bigger thing is the reasoning capability which
will allow AI to be the heart and brain of physical AI, like robots.

There's a deal on at the Club Hotel (Goffs) in Kildare. One night accom, plus dinner for two for €200 - the chef is Derry Clarke who ran L'Ecrivan for decades. 1,000 of these available.
Our Kildare locals like GAB, sp will be able to inform as to the quality but it seemed a no-brainer and I picked up a Sat night in Sept for Mrs D3's birthday. Early check-in, and late check-out for €20 apiece thrown in, thus maximising time away from the family."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

There are all sorts of existential issues to be faced but perhaps the most threatening one is that the headlong rush to pretend we are building AGI by recursing through shit LLM's is that we will very soon come to a place where optimisations, innovations and developments in tech and society that appear to be, or are sold as coming from AGI are in fact coming from the owners of locked down systems that are really nothing of the sort.
I'm becoming more pessimistic about this. IMO anything asserting to be or even aspiring to be an AGI that is not completely and unequivocally open source is a terminal diagnosis for civilisation as we know it.

AI is not going to save us from the mounting threats to civilisation-threats to food production , energy production, resource depletion and the biosphere -believing that it will is on the same level as believing we are all off to heaven when we die. If anything it’s going to worsen quite a few of those problems.
the AI subreddits are hilarious -full of people (or bots) who genuinely seem to believe we are a few years away from AI ending all human suffering .
its very noticeable how the enshittification of the internet has accelerated thanks to AI- I’ve actually drastically reduced my usage over past few years as I don’t use social media and a lot of the stuff I used to enjoy has gone to shitLast edited by MysteryGuest; 11-04-24, 12:48.Will you ever fuck off with that shite... you are easily one of the worst posters on here for this-Pokerhand

I can't get chatgpt 4 to do something as simple as give me average distances for golf clubs (having provided it with lofts, handicap ranges, told it I don't mind it generalising etc) without exhausting my limit of questions with it. Getting it to make small adjustments to python scripts for me is a major exercise in frustration as it invariably breaks some random function it wasn't asked to go near and is unable to recover. I regularly see it contradicting itself from one answer to the next or garbling data from the previous answer in the next one. CGPT3 is much, much quicker and frequently gives me more sensible info. User error maybe IDK, it can be useful but often find I'd be quicker just googling.

Actually, just looking at their website and they seem to have decent value on wine
De Ladoucette Pouilly-Fume - On their website at €79 - Same bottle would cost you between €37 - €40 retail
Assyrtiko Wild Ferment,Gaia - On their website for €65 - Retail would be around €35
Baron de Ley, Reserva - On their website for €52 - Retail would be around €22
Château Vieux Clos St. Emilion Grand Cru - On their website for €79 - haven't seen it in Dublin a while but would have been around mid 30's retail
Even some the more pricier wines are good value
Echo de Lynch Bages - On their website at €130 - Would cost 70 - 75 retail
