I have a RYM account but have done nothing besides read the reviews on the front page with it. I believe I have an account on last.fm from more than a decade ago, so I'm aware of it, but things evolve over time so I'm kinda hoping

Is there a music recommendation (service –| server –| program) that works?

The ads on the NYP are depressingly cynical.

This seems like a pretty good couple of answers to OP's question.

It's not really a question of what it's used for, but what it's used with. Training on all the Old Masters and all public domain art? No problem. Training on people's work posted on the internet to which they retain copy

No. The AI doing generative work is doing the same thing human artists do: observe, consume, be influenced, and then create new work from pieces of what they have consumed. The AIs are like beautiful children who may one day be born but alr

I mean, I agree, but it seems to me that the abstract concept of being altruistic effectively is not moralizing at all - it merely carries the assumption that the actor has taken a moral stance and leaves it at that. I saw it more like &quo

My best friends are people I met on Kijiji - we joined bands together. Bonds form from mutual struggle.

I am out of the loop a bit, so I'll say that first. An acquaintance introduced me to the phrase effective altruism and talked about sending money to a place that's having problems rather than going there yourself, and I just thoug

I also think that it's still very new, and we have not yet discovered the creative limitations of the tech. I personally expect that it will turn out that there is zero creativity inherent to the tech, and that it will become apparent

As another musician, I'll point out that there was a point when the only thing AI could produce visually was a lot of dog faces.

So, my screen had scrolled so that only half of the title was visible. My brain, being the doom-chasing pessimistic wasteland that it is, filled it in as "NFT Support" and oh no

These AIs will only ever be as good as what gets fed into them. It follows that without something going in, they will output nothing. That source material will always be human in nature, at least until these neural networks get large enough

It will be as good as the music it's trained on, no better and probably no worse.

So this filerun, I looked at the demo page and it seems nice for the file storage aspects, and you say it can run any Nextcloud plugins? So it would be able to do all the little services like to do and grocery lists, calendar, some sort of

I'm avoiding virtualization other than docker containers until I can afford a system with ECC ram. I'm not even sure if containers are that safe but I think they are? I am a weird pastiche of extreme competence and shocking ignora

This is gonna be the funniest battle ever. AI is not gonna go away and it will be better at law than humans. I'll take any odds.

Yah it's just a plugin, an advertised feature if you will. Whatever rented presence I have for a public IP will be treated the same way one treats a container (might end up being a container, who knows...) - persistent config and stora

Bottom line, I plan to treat the rented presence the same way one treats a container - there will be persistent storage of all config and storage data elsewhere, such that the server can be abandoned and stood up somewhere else with no more

That's why, in spite of being on the Internet since 1994, I haven't ever really self-hosted anything. At every point, it looked like too much hassle and too much expense. In this case, I've identified a couple of hard target
