Counting days to my new Linux battlestation to arrive.

M1 is fine for a laptop I guess, but I miss having a GPU what isn't a joke.

And I miss the lived-in comfort of an Ubuntu (gnome actually, but whatever) desktop. MacOS feels incredibly inept and patronizing at the same time.

You know that I used.
You know what that means.
When why the hell you're pestering me with suggestions to use something else instead of just fucking doing it?

- We ought to understand the world through erotic and reason.
- Did you mean logic and reason?

That was Suno v3. Unfortunately v4 got better at musicifying prose, but arguably worse for working with verse. Also the sound got more bland, so v4 "remasters" are at best different arrangements.

I hope the upcoming models would pareto-improve and perhaps the 3rd album would be spectacular.

> Honestly, despite it starting out as an April fools joke, it's a really good album. We made probably 3,000-4,000 song generations to get the 15 we felt happy about, which I think works out to about 5-10 hours of work per song we used (including all the dead ends and things that never worked out)

I'm done with looking at the bullshit evals that give high scores to the toddler-level systems or woo the audience with cookie-cutting skills.

Who wants to join forces and make a new / / (?) benchmark so we can cyberbully the new models and "AI coders" as they come out?

New Google model. Even better than everything. Completely failed at simple Haskell task by hallucinating a ton of crap :blobfacepalm:

"Reality has a surprising amount of detail" -- a model is **always** out of distribution in real world. Always.

Ugh... I'm... Actually, I'm amazed how good this is, if you treat it like some conceptualist piece :ablobsurpriseblush:
