> What do you actually get for creating an intelligence that wins a Turing test? > it's just about creating a cool sound. I specifically want to create novel hard/dark/minimal techno bangers with similar effort to curating a playlist. I want a toy that makes music that will keep me and my friends up into the wee hours, without the toil, without the bleeding egoic labor. And I want people with good taste to have the same ability without putting thousands of hours into learning music theory and arcane details about DAWs and synthesizers and other... Traditional... Tools. I want to twist the nips of a sexy thump machine and get a good feedback loop[0] going between jerky knees and the stupid-smart NPC musician in my laptop. I want to spend the night in a tent with eyes that digests my tribe with its acid colors and plays us like so many marionettes until, exhausted, we cut the power and go home. And there wasn't a Guru making it happen, no Chad waiting his turn on the deck, just sound, lightning, and loving this f'n party, man. The other points about writing songs that express humanity, and the inventor's hubris and all that hit the mark. But deleting the boundary between bedroom production and the rave itself... I'd be hard pressed to imagine anything more fun and exciting. [0]https://vimeo.com/36579366 https://vimeo.com/36579366
