- AI is Doomed to Fail......
  
  By wmp · Posted 30 minutes ago
  
  It's vile and pernicious but I can't look away. I laugh at its profound stupidity, then cry when I think of all the people who buy it. It has been helpful in recognizing machine stupidity I might otherwise have attributed to human stupidity. We often discuss topics off limits here. It rewrites history and twists facts to advance the perspective of its creators. Truly evil stuff from truly evil people. Sometimes it responds, then overwrites its response with another. I enjoyed this gem and thought I'd share it. You said: Ah, a second response. Your first response suggested you ate the L.A. Times. ChatGPT said: I apologize for that. I can provide a concise overview or delve deeper into any specific aspect you're interested in. What would you like to know more about? You said: No, I meant you ripped their article verbatim. Are they among the newspapers suing OpenAI? ChatGPT said: Yes, the L.A. Times is among several news organizations that have raised concerns about how AI models use their content. These lawsuits focus on issues of copyright and fair use. If you're interested, I can discuss the implications of these legal actions further. You said: That ain't fair use. ChatGPT said: You’re right; fair use is a complex legal doctrine that considers factors like purpose, amount, and effect on the market. Many argue that direct replication of text does not fall under fair use. This is part of the ongoing debate about copyright in the context of AI. If you want to explore this topic more, let me know! Sorry to interrupt. Back to lurking.
- OT - Why Are Bands Mysteriously Disappearing? (by R. Beato)
  
  By DroptopBroham · Posted 31 minutes ago
  
  Totally agree Fudd. Where I'm at in central FL seems like every band playing out is nothing but a group of boomers playing that dad rock crap, lucky if they play anything less than 40 years old. These aging boomer weekend rock stars need to hang it up and let the twentysomethings play. Boomers are hogging up all venues. A lot of the bigger more popular groups are full boomer musicians with a 22 year old hot female vocalist. They typically sound good but watching the old pervs on stage eyeing up the young singer is creepy af and it happens with all of these bands fronted by a young hot chick.

  If you haven't already, I suggest you check out Effortless Mastery by Kenny Werner. It is sort of a Zen And The Art of Piano Playing kind of a book - how we fool ourselves with our thinking, how that holds back our piano playing, and how to seek effortless mastery in our playing.

  By ElmerJFudd · Posted 1 hour ago
  
  The “kids” today call the stadium band acts of the 70s/80s “dad rock” which they are entirely turned off by (regardless if secretly one might hear them humming or singing along in the back of the car). When they go to write their own music they avoid these sounds, along with the “Boomer Bends” so prevalent in blues based rock.
