I dunno... What if a bunch of students got together, seized a data center, then used the AI hardware inside to generate their papers on Marxism?

It took until 2021 but we can finally say, "we live in a society."

Because we have standards.

Bunch of asses, that's why!

A "minor slip-up during a 'bottoms up moment'" fits this problem to a tea.

It's because economists haven't got the memo yet that informs them that smartphones have been recategorized as, "durable goods".

It's good to know that incompetence is still the guiding principle of the Trump administration 👍

Let's look at the logic here: If we don't expect troops to defy illegal orders, that means some commanding officer could order his troops to kill the president 🤔

That's illegal but... The Trump administration thinks orders should be followed no matter what.

I'm in the camp of, "if it's good, why should I care?" However, I'm all for transparency! Passing off AI-generated music as human-generated is fraud. Be honest!

There's a LOT of grey areas though. If you're a vocalist and you're using an AI-generated background? How's that any different from pressing "play" on a sequencer or even an audio file (of some sequenced or drum track)?

If you're a lyricist, the actual music isn't as important as the lyrics. Does it matter if they used AI to generate the music or should every lyricist be forced to pay someone to make the music for them or master an instrument (or sequencer)?

What if you're trying to translate your music into a different language and use AI to translate it? Is that AI-generated music? You can give your whole damned song to AI and it'll convert to a different language in-place without having to re-record it. It even uses your singer's voice!

To me, it's incredible technology and it's enabling artists of all kinds to do cool things with their music. It seems rather paternalistic to suggest someone's creativity doesn't "count" if they didn't sweat or spend years practicing to create it.

No. They're off the old block.

To summarize:

  • The Republicans have no real plans to fix health care. The only thing they've thought up so far is an even bigger handout to Visa and MasterCard as well as other rich/incredibly profitable/unnecessary middlemen companies that handle Health Savings Account plans. Note: The more money you make, the more money you save via HSA plans!
  • The Democrats have no real plans to fix health care. The only thing they've thought of is to extend the ~~Republican band-aid known as Romneycare~~ the Obamacare subsidies which will only slightly delay the inevitable, on-going collapse of health care in the United States.
