People that are super excited about the possibility of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) but have no interest in Real General Intelligence (NATURE) are a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

People that are super excited about the possibility of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) but have no interest in Real General Intelligence (NATURE) are a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.
Despite armies of professional "AI Ethicists", "AI Alignment engineers", "AI policy experts", "AGI Risk thought leaders" and countless "Think Tankies", a surge of autonomous AI weapon monstrosities are being released globally right now. This is the exact opposite of intelligence.
CompMusic Hindustani and Carnatic rÄga recognition datasets
About 120h of audio and pitch contours for 480 renditions across 40 rÄgas from Carnatic music and 300 renditions chosen from 30 rÄgas of Hindustani music.
Listening to the outputs of a generative music model is significantly more uncanny than reading generated text: Endless voices signing in alien languages and bizarre genre defying beats leave one wondering if there is a funky ghost in the machine.
The future of music
Prediction: By 2025, music generated with AI will make up 50% of all music consumed. It's in the global charts. There will be 10x more musicians, as production & consumption blur. The music ecosystem, incl. Streaming & DAW sectors, will be in turmoil. New music forms will blossom
Auto-GPT - "a program, driven by GPT-4, that autonomously develops and manages businesses to increase net worth" This concept has been tried in the shadows of giants for years, with remarkable resources at play. Good to see it as open source.
As powerful language is, it is a limited & limiting form of communication. Case in point: After a heated fight, try giving someone a hug & simply being silent - VS keep talking. The difference is dramatic. It's no accident that most life on earth prefers embodied communication.
They are all around us...
āHidden in the surface of the earth, there is a vast mineral consciousness near absolute zero thinking in slow formations of crystalā - W.Burroughs
#Comment: Many forms of super intelligence are with us on earth today. Those worried just about AGI should try expanding their consciousness
Those who have every submarine cable tapped are likely those that have the most giant AI models.
Making music with AI is extremely fun
With features such as "Generate from Text-Prompt", "Generate variations", "Generate continuations", "Fill the gap", "Interpolate" and "Style Transfer", these tools offer endless possibilities for experimentation. šµ š¤
