Well, you aren’t going to reinvent yourself as a 22 year old hot chick playing Led Zeppelin riffs in 30 second social media videos consumed by 3783468733366 old dudes with Instagram accounts, so you are kinda handicapped in this space 😜

Looks good to me, but I’m not a good judge about this kind of thing. You’ve got a new follower.

Holy shit, that AOL link actually works.

Next time my CTO asks for moar AI I will ask for one of these in the office to help support the effort.

BOOM MOTHER FUCKER - Will Muschamp's Triumphant Return
Goredho replied to Nueces River Rat's topic in Football
No one knows how this is going to work out. But two things we can infer from PK's firing: Any coach at Texas can be fired. Perform at the highest level or be prepared to move along. We aren't standing pat with the cards we've had against Georgia the past couple years. We understand that what we had wasn't going to deliver championships, and thus changes needed to be made. Neither of those are bad things. Muschamp could be a net negative, who the hell knows at this point? But I think it's a good thing we aren't settling for being just pretty good until we enter Kirby Smart's BDSM torture dungeon wearing leather chaps and a gimp mask. -

Yeah, with regards to <your pet coaching change here>, I would just view this move as evidence that we aren't content to stand pat with the hand we've had. We realize changes need to be made in the staff to move to the next level. That's good. -

One thing I will say, I'm looking forward to seeing how Muschamp will scheme to use Collin Simmons. Anyone remember Sergio Kindle's junior year?- 995 replies

Gonna be funny when PK gets hired at Georgia. -
Wait, is that shirt meant for the BIL or the previous poster?

I hate to tell you this, but AI -- like guns -- is not going away. The genie isn't going back in the bottle. There may be segments of the population that eschew it for varying reasons, but they will be relatively small, independently wealthy and not dependent on corporate America for a paycheck. Regulation and protections are a possibility, but I wouldn't expect vast effects in this regard either given current trends in leadership, governance and voting. I have all sorts of socioeconomic concerns about AI. I could easily see it winding up being a complete net negative to the world we live in like social media has been. But alas, I still have to collect a paycheck to afford a roof over my head and put food on the table. So I dance for my corporate overlords like the monkey I am. If my bosses want dispassionate, commoditized and ultimately disposable workers, you got it. Here I am, and here are my concerns so that you know that I told you so when you come back around to wanting passionate, indispensable workers.

Yeah, it's honestly great. If I didn't already have a foundation in theory, and I needed an instructor to really direct a lesson, it might not be as usable. Meaning, an utter beginner might not be able to call bullshit and/or find it as useful. But with at least a working knowledge of theory and the ability to test its answers at a piano and validate with my ears, I can call bullshit and question the answer if it seems/sounds incongruent. I think the big thing AI products are missing right now are domain specific interfaces. You just have the empty chat entry. It's too open-ended and abstract and people have to use their creativity in figuring out how to use it. If instead an app had been built to give a musician-specific interface into ChatGPT being a music theory tutor at learnmusictheory.com, it would get a lot more use in this regard. Like an onscreen keyboard to "play" with a mouse to exercise what is being discussed, maybe midi integration to check what notes you played on a synth and give feedback, maybe a Spotify integration to pull up a song at a specific point that illustrates a point of theory, maybe some "learning paths" within theory as starting points to seed the AI discussion for the complete neophyte. Domain specificity with prescriptive workflows. Most people won't even think of ways it can help them because they just see a chat bar. That abstraction is also part of why it's scary. "Here's Hal 9000, he can help you in every way, will learn from you as it does and may make you so efficient that the workforce doesn't need that many of you." That's a lot more unsettling than, "Here's eMozart, he's going to help you learn music theory."

This is a good post. But, art has long been commoditized by capitalists. There's a reason "starving artist" was a stereotype long before AI came around. AI is just a leap in that exploitation. Maybe a final gambit? I don't think Cuban is 100% incorrect. AI can be a great tool for the artist. I don't mean oh, go prompt your way to "Citizen Kane." But using AI to storyboard a concept? To make a demo to help sell an idea? To rapidly iterate through ideas to get where to where there is a clear vision of what you want to produce? As a means of continuing education to hone your craft? Those are all ways AI is going to help legitimate artists create and/or be better artists without replacing them as an artist. I know a guy who is a singer songwriter in Nashville who is pretty enamored with AI. He's not a starving artist, he's had some tunes cut by people with names you would recognize. He's not using AI to come up with lyrics and chords. He does that. But at that point, he's using it to produce quality demos to shop to people looking for songs. He can go from a song he wrote that he can play on guitar and sing to pseudo-professional and shoppable demo in hours. He loves AI and doesn't fear it in the least. I use it a lot to "hone my craft". One of the better ways to learn music theory right now is to just chat with ChatGPT about it while sitting at a piano validating what it tells you. I say that as someone with a mid-level understanding of music theory that is using ChatGPT to increase that understanding. Is it as good as a Berkeley school of music education? No, but its better than static youtube video content because I can ask questions, delve into what its saying and direct it where I want the lesson to go. Ultimately, it helps me be better at what I love doing at a commitment level I can make. If this is all AI was going to be for the arts, it would be a great and empowering tool. But that's not going to be all it will be. People like Cuban are going to use it as a way to further commoditize the arts. Streamline efficiency and cost optimize its production so the capitalist can capitalize. But, that's not really anything new. AI is just the newest method. As always, its not the thing, its the humans directing the thing that are the fucking problem.
