For those wondering who the Third Party @Dropbox just gave everyone’s data automatically to, it’s Open AI.
Considering all the lawsuits Open AI has concerning illicit use of ill-gotten data, privacy breaches and data leaks this arrangement inspires 0 confidence.Bad move Dropbox.

Nach Buchdruck und Internet - kommt jetzt #ChatGPT? haben @chwatty und ich in #lakonischelegant @dlfkultur gefragt. Und @robertlieck hat geantwortet. Und ChatGPT durfte auch ein bisschen mitreden.

Besides having students write essays, I feel like if anything it'd be more useful to write some essays with ChatGPT and have students fact check and correct all the mistakes. Good practice for seeing through authoritative sounding bs, and shows if you actually know the material.
Replying to @CriticalAI
@CriticalAI actually now that i think of it more, i think a "write an essay with the help of chatGPT and discuss the process and the resulting prose" can be a super-effective assignment also in a humanities-centric, critical-ai program.
Candidates should bring:
🔹 solid experience in deep learning in Python/PyTorch (or similar)
🔹desire to understand the inner workings of music
🔹enthusiasm for interdisciplinary research in AI & music
🔹open mind-set, creative problem-solving, solution-oriented mentality
We provide:
🔹world-class research in ML/AI
🔹stimulating, supportive, interdisciplinary research environment @AIHS_DurhamCS @MusicScienceDU
🔹real-world applications in the field of music
🔹highly committed supervision and comprehensive training
The project is to leverage deep learning and structured/symbolic methods to tackle fundamental problems in ML/AI and music analysis. It will combine approaches from computational musicology, image analysis, and natural language processing.
Funded PhD Position: Neuro-Symbolic Modelling of Music

.@ZelenskyyUa's tv address to the Russian (!) people might be the most moving speech that I've ever seen in my entire life. The whole world needs to see, understand and share this crucial Ukrainian message.
