New benchmark dropped
Australia has been hacked. 'And today, I spoke with the CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, to express Australia's extreme concern about this incident. And I also expressed my disappointment that it took the company way too long to inform the government what had occurred, and the nature of the way that that notification occurred as well was unacceptable.'

every time i see a new "create a song from a single prompt" kind of product being rolled out i think about these comments from @David_Rudnick
Spotify & UMG announce licensing agreement that allows fans to create AI covers and remixes of songs from participating artists and songwriters. The new feature will be a paid add-on for Premium users which will “open up additional revenue streams” for artists and songwriters.

Bragging about how much software you’re shipping with AI is like holding down the shutter button and bragging about how many photos you took.

Teams chat is the modern-day corporate panopticon. You could sleep in and not be at your laptop by 9am… but you could be observed by DM ping at any moment…

As an engineer, watching Oppenheimer 'inspired' in me a sense that no matter the technical brilliance or merit of my work, people in power and control of it can and almost certainly will use it for their own agenda, regardless of how it makes me look. This is such a dumb tweet
i was hoping that the oppenheimer movie would inspire a generation of kids to be physicists but it really missed the mark on that. let's get that movie made! (i think the social network managed to do this for startup founders.)

The sound quality is not good, but to be honest, I think low-quality russian bootleg vinyl is the ideal way to listen to Death Grips. It adds to the experience.
