It’s blowing my mind that schools, universities, public services would run headlong into this. We spent 15 years documenting black boxes. This is a black box in a black hole!

Jamil Al Amin, formerly known as H. Rap Brown has passed. Jamil was a political prisoner, an Imam & leader in the Islamic community, chairman of SNCC, Minster of Justice in the Black Panther Party. A revolutionary & a target of COINTELPRO and U.S. police agencies. Rest in Power

Much needed intervention!

zhuangzi chapter 1:

Music is basically a detective novel where the musicians are the suspects/criminals, the listener is the detective and of course the music is the crime. The listener tries to determine what happened and what was the motivation, while the musicians try to obscure this, so they can get away with it.

พรุงนี้วันพุธที่ 12 จะเป็นครั้งแรกที่จะพูดถึงเล่มที่กำลังเขียนอยู่ (หลังจากที่ส่งโครงการหนังสือให้บก.สำนักพิมพ์พิจารณา เคยเสนอส่วนต่างๆก่อนหนังสือเริ่มก่อตัว) (ยังไม่ได้ก่อตัวเสร็จ แต่เริ่มๆ) เป็นเล่มที่เป็นทั้งประวัติศาสตร์ของการจองจำนักโทษการเมืองและประวัติศาสตร์เชิงความคิดของนักโทษการเมืองตั้งแต่กบฏสันติภาพถึงปัจจุบัน ยังมีอีกหลายต่อหลายคำถามที่วนๆอยู่เพาระตอบไม่ได้

Never. Kids should not be allowed near AI.

This probably reads as dinosaur talk to the converts, but, as I've said elsewhere about all these kinds of things, playing an instrument in a group is, at minimum, fun. Fussing with prompts at a black box that would happily burn Jupiter for a country song is, at maximum, sad.

An algorithm beat me this morning, because seeing this (from the Suno Studio FB group) got me "engaged", and it's bleak out there. I did like one guy dispensing the advice that, until you've made 6000-7000 ai songs, you don't know what separates quality from novelty.

Excited that my new Arctic album, "near the bear" is featured in Bandcamp's Best Field Recordings this month. Thank you Matthew Blackwell. "...a deep interrogation of our place in the world, put into high relief against the brilliant whites and blues of the High Arctic."

Omg yes

Subvert will be a Bandcamp competitor for downloading digital music (no physical formats or merch as of yet) - I’ll be trying it out as artist and listener as soon as it opens up

deep cut time here but anybody have a copy of BROMP TREB WANTS TO FIGHT they can share?

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort: www.404media.co/ai-is-superc...

Did a quick interview with Eyvind Kang on his first solo instrumental album, the viola d'amore's "unstruck strings," and what it means to listen with nature. A conversation about "Riparian," ecomusicality, and the coyotes of East LA.

in case anyone hasn't watched the full thing, do it. it's a damn treat. I don't think I realized it until now, but I'd been waiting my whole life to hear a politician sound like they want the people to govern with them

Great article and good starting point for those interested in ambient 'soundwalks'. Loads of interesting links to experimental works at the end of the words. Looking forward to a dive and listen soon.

Hot take: musician biopics are softening us up for AI simulations

“DEAD (Decontextualized, Engineered, Anonymized, and Disembodied) cognition is unlikely to be representative of the ways cognition lives out in the real world: contextualized in culture and relationships, sprawling and unconstrained, tethered to our identities, and enacted through our bodies” 8/
