People are needlessly concerned that the unavoidable #misuse of #AI (language and visual) tools will "break the #information landscape". The quality and quantity of "fake news" and other published BS may increase but people with the #knowledge and #tools to distinguish between #reality and #fiction will always have the upper hand.
Humanity was in this situation of "disruptive innovation" many times in the past, and it somehow managed to grow up of it a little bit better than before.
Show me a single non-rhyming poem that adds something positive to the human experience and deserves long-term memetic propagation.
Hey #Halifax -- this is happening next weekend:
(Local reposts appreciated!)
This is the first time I've ever heard "Kimbra" but her new album "A Reckoning" is a great Monday morning vibe. #music #NowPlaying

I re-watched "Everything Everywhere All At Once" taking into consideration some of the comments made by colleagues and friends who loved it. I still don't love it and but I am softening. "Silliness" has never been my kind of humour so the "It's bonkers! [giggles]" defence is sort of lost on me.

hey Twitter, shit has reversed. https://moa.party
@mattdagley I won't lie -- I've never given it more serious thought than I am right now.

Nova Scotia Power sending unsolicited emails telling me to scrimp on my power usage to lower my bills while:
- they pay out record profits to shareholders
- their CEO earns $8 million a year
- they invest so little back into infrastructure that we can't rely on our power staying on
... is a real vibe but I guess they know about cutting corners.
Until this moment, I thought I was alone in this.

The most metal ad you will ever see. It's a Japanese Noodle ad. #metal
@hasmis
That day is very near. "Give me a new Front Line Assembly album with 10 tracks. It should sound more like Tactical Neural Implant than Implode."
@feliz
That actually makes a lot of sense. It seemed to have no trouble at all with historical date ranges.
@aspiringcat
It's definitely possible. The problem with the prompts is that chat GPT has a problem with lying. So if it can't find real songs it will actually make some up. But in that case right now it just can't find them on Spotify and so it ignores them.
I asked #ChatGPT to give me a list of the #industrial and #EBM albums released so far in 2023 and it gave me a list of awesome sounding records by existing artists and as far as I can tell, none of it is real.
I would be first in line if there were a new #FLA album.
1. 'Meltdown' by Nitzer Ebb
2. 'Industrial Revolution' by Covenant
3. 'The Rising Tide' by Front Line Assembly
4. 'Void' by Skinny Puppy
5. 'Disorder' by VNV Nation
6. 'Labyrinth' by X-Fusion
7. 'The Darkest Age' by Front 242
8. 'The Silence' by Mindless Self Indulgence
9. 'The Unforgiving' by Combichrist
10. 'Eden' by Aesthetic Perfection
Say what you will about #aiart but this playlist cover I just created using #midjourney is peak #metal and it's f**king awesome.
It has a couple of fault points -- the ChatGPT output can be inconsistent so you have to try and tell your prompt exactly how you want it formatted. Seems to work ok. Even though you get the artist and track from ChatGPT, there is no guarantee it'll be in Spotify's catalogue so I used fuzzy string matching to score for the best pick out of Spotify's search query. In some infrequent cases, it's simply not found though.
@aspiringcat I just passed the "OMG IT ACTUALLY WORKS" milestone but I will definitely clean it up and share it. I'll ping you once I've made it public.
