Anti-AI: Spotify Strikes Back!

Thank you OMG.blog!   Good alert about Spotify leveling the playing field against AI generated content!  

"Starting in mid-September, any artist profile Spotify flags as a photorealistic AI-generated identity", that's an ID that has been manufactured using AI, "once it clears a certain audience size, gets the badge slapped on its page, its search listing, and every track row it shows up in." 

The net is this: The AI generators can still produce music, they just can't promote the AI crap in your recommendations list without letting you know it's AI.   

I like this!  Given how MUCH AI generated garbage is being shoveled onto these platforms, it will certainly make it easier to weed that out from a legitimate source. 

Onward,

Anti-AI: Spotting AI Crap on YouTube

A great video from ReDriven on spotting the glut of AI generated garbage posted on YouTube.  

This is a good video, not too long.  Adam Morris of the channel outlines the frustrations they are hitting with the AI generated content, why it's bad and most importantly, how to spot the AI content.  This goes hand in hand with the outline of the AI Social Media Influencers I posted a few weeks back. He does a good job o pointing out the fakes that actually DO look somewhat legitimate.   

As Adam intones; if you're just looking at it for brainless entertainment, great! But when you are basing one of the largest financial obligations of your life on some hack generated AI slop that is encouraging you to "buy this!"; they have a problem.  Same with, in the case of the automotive AI garbage, recommending a $50k+ vehicle as a teens first car.   

It sucks when something we take as a tacit form of infotainment if being overtaken by slop garbage.  Makes you want to go out and read a book or something...

By coincidence, It's TACO Tuesday!!!

 

Why Is The Airplane's Catering Truck Farting, Mommy? 

Because The President Is In It, Dear. 

Thank you, Evan Hurst of Wonkette for the delightful article on the SCROTUS subterfuge while overseas last month!  From Evan's reporting, "In Ankara, Trump boarded the old Air Force One jumbo jet in view of television cameras. He was secretly shuttled minutes later to a smaller plane — an Air Force C-32A — via an airport catering truck typically used to load meals and other supplies preflight, according to the U.S. official and corroborating material reviewed by The Post. That made Air Force One a “decoy” with media and some White House staff aboard, the official said." 

 

Such a brave leader.  So brave... so brave.

Oh, thank the maker!!

AUTUMN is UPON US!!!!  A sure sign that Fall is approaching; the $4.99 watermelon bin is near empty and the apple cider donuts have hit the table at the entrance to BJ's Wholesale Club!  

Life (and that donut) is good!

I can't HEAR you.

Zuckerberg spokesperson says his yacht did not hear call for maritime assist.

 Yet more heartwarming news about the parasite class.  

 

 

The "Launchpad"

 

 

AP News - The crew of a yacht owned by Mark Zuckerberg did not hear a radio call for a maritime assist from a small skiff that ran out of fuel off the coast of Alaska, and by the time it did, another nearby ship had already rendered assistance, a spokesperson for the Meta CEO said. 

 

Of course not, they were too busy looking at the sea with their Meta glasses; "You are looking at water".  "You are looking at water."  

 

Oh, and the "Lauchpad" has a tender, a separate boat, that travels with it;

 

 

The "Wingman" 

 

I guess their radio was also not functioning.

 

Anyone got a line on a good torpedo?
