Music = Magic = Money AI Musick Magick <33

Everything you know will be worth less in six months, and worthless in six years. Plan accordingly

Definitive proof that modern pre-AI software was horrendously inefficient. A Jenga tower of bloated frameworks and development-driven architectures, held up as "best practices" and "just the way things are supposed to be done".

Artists and producers can now create their own custom instruments and effects, then export them as VST3/AU plugins to use directly in their DAW. We're making it easy to bring these capabilities into professional setups, so producers can easily build tools tailored to their creative process. Read more: blog.google/innovation-and-a…

Ben Affleck reveals he writes Python, understands convolutional neural networks, worked extensively with GPUs, and used his celebrity status to get private looks at Google and OpenAI’s video models “I’ve always been kind of into computers since I was young. Then, when film started to move from analog film to digital, I became more interested in that aspect of it. The visual-effects workflow for many years has included machine learning, so I can write pretty shitty Python scripts and stuff like that. “With convolutional neural networks, which were the precursors to what the transformer can do, which is much more computation simultaneously, you would do things like look at what’s called a tensor. That’s the numerical translation of a visual image in numbers, like the batch number, the frame number and the red, green and blue values of each pixel in each frame. It’s just that simple. That numeric is called a tensor. “You’d use a convolutional neural network to identify patterns that reveal what’s called edge detection or feature extraction, which is identifying patterns well enough to know, this is where the window ledge is, so we can more easily take the green-screen image out and replace it with something. “That was familiar to me early on because, prior to Artists Equity, I had a small visual-effects company. I’ve worked with GPUs a lot too. The visual-effects guys said, ‘Hey, you should see. There are a couple: Google and this other company, OpenAI, are doing really interesting stuff with transformers in video.’ “I’ve learned that I can actually just call up and go, ‘Hey, it’s Ben Affleck. Can I come see what you’re doing?’ Sometimes people say yes, to my astonishment.”

FUTURE BUILD A B*TCH (MUSIC VIDEO) OUT NOW 🚨 ▫️Directed by Cole Bennett

Future - Build A Bitch Directed by Cole Bennett

Guys Nano banana 2.1 is out and I don't have good news The drift benchmark pitted head to head against Flux 3 And I don't think I need to tell you who won

This guy re-created all the adobe apps with opus-5.5, ported them to rust, and opensourced them something really cool is happening

The projects you drop today with next to no fanbases will be your cult classics when you get one. Gotta build a discog

I think we're about to discover that our computers are FAR more powerful than we realized after AI starts optimizing all the software slop we've been served over the years.

holy fucking shit the rabbit hole goes deeper

🚨 Akademiks says Adam22 told him a WILD Drake story from when a group of women were in Canada for one of his FOMO shoots Ak says Drake was giving everyone extravagant gifts, then realized one girl hadn’t gotten anything, so he allegedly gave her his card and sent her shopping with his driver. She came back after spending $30,000. According to Ak, Drake hysterically laughed when he heard the total: “That’s all she spent?” Ak says that kind of money barely registers when you consider what Drake spends just moving Air Drake: “Every time Air Drake moves somewhere, it’s $100K . At least.”

🚨 Akademiks says ComplexCon likely pushed Playboi Carti to CLEAN UP the headlines after the LUCKI stabbing situation by linking with Kanye West “You can’t take Carti off the act.” “You need a cleanup.” Ak says the Ye link created a much bigger story and buried everything else: “As soon as you kill one story with a bigger story, we don’t care about the other story.” “Respect to LUCKI, niggas don’t even care that LUCKI got…” It’s now “Oh shit, Carti’s back with Ye. Ah, it’s lit.”

🚨 Akademiks says what happened to LUCKI at ComplexCon should be a WAKE-UP CALL about how artists move in LA Ak says LUCKI was walking around loose with only a few people while Playboi Carti and Opium had a huge presence at the event: “If you not cool with the YVL niggas, you don’t want to be at this festival.” Ak says when HE goes to ComplexCon, he has his passes handled beforehand and makes sure security walks him straight from the car to the stage: “I’m not here to be kicking it.” His point is LUCKI wasn’t even booked to perform and was just hanging around: “He gotta move a little bit better.”

Which one of you ecom dudes is running this 😂

He’s right. AI can create infinite supply at light speed. This is why the industry is targeting the on-ramps like distributors to fight AI uploads. But ultimately, streaming is about paying for rare things and gaining access. They sell the access, not the song. Because anyone can generate any variation of a song or new creating in the same style to be fully customized to their liking, the streaming model is 100% at risk. This doesn’t mean humans don’t value music or creators. This is simply a matter of supply and demand. Because supply is literally infinite, demand shifts.
