AI music generators Udio, Suno issue forceful fair use defense v. music labels
AI music generators Suno and Udio file Answers. They came to fight. Both represented by Latham & Watkins, they raise a forceful fair use defense. But even further: a copyright misuse defense alleging the music labels are engaged in anticompetitive uses of their copyright.
#Comment: Limited hang-out from the octopus which owns all sides, testing the market reactions to their ancient technologies being rolled-out. The game is rigged, the acoustic warfare will continue.

AI Girlfriend engagement time estimates, by a leading tech bros.
My Comment: Talking to an AI for 21h/week (3h/d) is weird today. Talking with loved ones (spouse, children, parents, friends) for 12h/week, is the US average today.
Talking to an AI for 21h per week will be normal tomorrow. Talking with loved ones for 1h per week, will be the US average.

Chasing order through higher dimensional representations is ultimately a fool's errand. The wise master embraces chaos as the core of everything, knowing nothing is under control—then focuses on relaxing. Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!

In the AI/UX/HCI field, it's inherently assumed that increasing computer usage is always beneficial. Few have the courage to challenge this status quo & explore how smarter machines could help us use computers less, freeing up more time for people & nature.

Tired: Adversarial Robustness in LLMs - Wired: Robust Adversarial LLMs
The real adversarial move? Mega-corps with deep Intel ties deciding what's 'acceptable use of intelligence.' When a key headline of a new LLM is "We're committed to helpfulness, striving to fulfill user requests within policy boundaries with an objective, respectful tone," you know we've long surpassed the nightmarish visions of Orwell and Huxley and normalized the newspeak of totalitarian shadow entities, that strive to control digital intelligence.

The absurdity of the self-important masses exclaiming, 'The most important development in all of history (AGI, etc.) is happening right now during my lifetime!' is remarkable. None of them even dare to consider that reality is far, far weirder than their conveniently linear-time, crypto-religious models suggest.
"Existence is larger than any model that is not itself the exact size of existence (which has no size)." - Robert Anton Wilson

it's all about ideas
They used to yell at inventors and product designers, "Ideas don't matter, it's all about execution!". And engineers and company ops/finance folks would nod in agreement.
Now, with AI Increasingly handling software engineering and third-party service's managing operations, the claim might be: "When execution is handled by AI, it's all about ideas."

The iminant future of HCI/AI will be heavily defined by bidirectional Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI), Brain-to-Brain Interfaces (BBI) and ubiquitous sensors, all hooked up to the Internet of Bio-Nano-Things (IoBNT) that guides pervasive and unobtrusive ambient intelligence.

Things that have a high probability of being true for media & entertainment over the short term (~24 months)
- The average income of professionals in many creative Industries will significantly decline.
- The amount of content on most online channels will exponentially increase (incl. Lot's of "generative spam"). It will put lots of pressure on discovery algorithms, further hurting artists.
- The generative AI tool provider space will consolidate, with most startups disappearing and giant orgs grabbing even more media industry market share.
- Giant media platforms will significantly cut their costs by replacing human content Pipelines with AI (think music license cost that YouTube and TikTok pay)
- Lots of Lawsuit's will happen (training data copyright, etc), which only the giant orgs able to navigate.
- A new industry wide copyright regime and business model will start to emerge, but Major divides remain.
- A totally new media form will appear, than combines AI generated media with real time bio-signal feedback (BCI, etc.). This "proto-wireheading" media will become more addictive than crack.
Reflections prompted by this, rather techno-utopian tweet on the same topic
Opinions in this space that deviate from the US mainstream narrative - "AI inevitably makes us all exponentially more beautiful, creative, intelligent and rich" - hardly get any airtime. It's intellectually dishonest & lazy, leading to bad business/social outcomes. The brutal logic of late capitalism is at work, this we should not forget. An alternative system is possible for genAI, but it is mostly a grand socio-economic system question. Maybe after the house of cards falls.
