That's great to hear! It's uses like this that really make Udio and other tools shine. Even just making up silly songs about things that happen in your life is fun or doing them as a gift like you did is always nice. It's als

Fair enough but I'm not sure you're even going to realize if you're listening to AI generated music or not. One way of using these tools is to take lyrics and create several different melodies and vocal styles. An artist or a

It sounds like you're arguing with yourself. You provide exactly the reasons why generative AI isn't going to take us to a "place where human musicians can't earn a living". It's my understanding that most smal

Have you tried the latest model? It's night and day. Edit: There's obviously still skill involved in creating a good song, it's not like you can just click one button and get a perfect hit. I outlined the simplest process in

Here's an experiment you can try, go to https://www.udio.com/home and grab a free account which comes with more than enough credits to do this. Use a free chat LLM like Claude 3.5 Sonnet or ChatGPT 4o to workshop some

Average lifespan has increased, meaning more people survive early deaths due to disease and injury that we can now prevent, but as individuals we haven't broken through any maximum age barriers. That said, sun bathing is a modern pheno

Manufactured products only get cheaper by scaling and improving the manufacturing process. You should know this because it's the reason why silicon photovoltaics have gotten cheaper after starting at some rather eye watering prices. La

You have to look at it as a contractor. If you tell a contractor to "build me X" then you might get anything back with a high probability of getting something common but outdated. You have to write a specification for it with all

Not to pick on you but this general type of response to these AI threads seems to be coalescing around something that looks like a common cause. The thing that tips your comment into that bucket is the "serious tasks" phrasing. Tr

You can only learn how to draw owls by drawing owls, repeatedly. The more owls you draw, the better you will get so it helps to draw quickly and often.

by throwaway4aday 2y ago
Well, that's because it is how you draw an owl. You start with basic outlines to define size, pose and proportion, then you divide those outlined areas into smaller sections that locate important details like eyes, beak, ears, wings, e

The experiment in the paper is not well designed. They are repeatedly fine tuning the model and replacing the entire data set each time with a noisier version. That's just not how the world works and is literally the most naive approac

The same problem exists if you blindly trust any source without verifying it. There is a huge amount of endlessly recycled incorrect blog spam out there for all domains. Not only that but this problem has always existed for second hand info

It's an interesting but fundamentally flawed idea. My suggestion would be to play with it and have fun but don't bet the house on it. If you're curious what the flaw is, think Empiricism vs Rationalism.

This is really just wasting 20 minutes, it's much better to have a clear agenda which is basically in the form of bullet point notes that most people would make outlining the important topics and questions. Then just go through the age

This is awesome! I've done a lot of little projects exploring the use of graphs with LLMs and it's great to see that this approach really pays off. Stupid me for trying to prematurely optimize when the solution is just prompt engi

Faiss is for similarity search over vectors via k-NN. GraphRAG is, well, a graph. More precisely, GraphRAG has more in common with old school knowledge graph techniques involving named entity extraction and the various forms of black magic

Ignoring the snark. This will change as technology is adopted, go back 40 years (or even less) and a person walking around staring at a little black rectangle would have been perceived as weird and anti-social. We used to make fun of people
