Bandcamp has banned Gen AI music and audio from its platform. But Bandcamp hasnât had as serious a problem with AI as mainstream DSPs, because of the way the service is structured. Thereâs no incentive to upload a glut of derivative tracks, hoping for a playlist driven windfall.

Frank Gehry, legendary Canadian-American architect, dies aged 96
The architect, whose work included the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA, died after a brief illness Frank Gehry, one of the most influential and distinctive talents in American architecture, died on Friday at his home in Los Angeles following a brief respiratory illness, his chief of staff confirmed. He was 96. Gehry, the most recognizable American architect since Frank Lloyd Wright, was one of the first to embrace the potential of computer design, and pioneered a distinctively exuberant style of bravura power, whimsical and arresting collisions of form. His most famous work remains the Guggenheim Museumin Bilbao, a fantastical, titanium-clad composition on the NerviĂłn River which received international acclaim upon its opening in 1997, heralding a new era of emotive architecture.
