Explore how AI is revolutionizing the music industry, from creating original songs to altering how we discover and listen to music & even posing questions about copyright.
MusicGen has been trained on 20,000 hours of music.
Meta has unveiled MusicGen, an artificial intelligence(AI) music-generating system which can be conditioned using text prompts or melodies. It’s similar to Google’s MusicLM, which can build on existing melodies, whether they are whistled, hummed, sung, or played on an instrument.
Generating music is a challenging task as it contains harmonies and melodies from different instruments, which create complex structures. Meta’s model was trained on 20,000 hours of music, reported Tech Xplore. Meta released a demo of MusicGen on Hugging Face, and Interesting Engineering decided to have a go at it.
A discussion of the fascinating concept of space folding as it is presented in the Dune legendarium. In order to fill the needs of the vast interstellar empire of Frank Herbert’s universe the mechanism of space-folding is heavily relied upon. This form of faster-than-light travel enables spaceships to traverse astronomical distances instantaneously, and has proven crucial in shaping its social, economic, and political dynamics. Spoiler warning if you are unfamiliar with Frank Herbert’s Dune.

For a long time, scientists have been trying to figure out how plants start the process of turning sunlight into sugar through photosynthesis. But now, some researchers have finally decoded those tricky signals that plants send to themselves! Humans can’t survive without photosynthesis. Without plants, there would be no animals, including humans. So, if we understand how to manipulate plant growth, we can also control the quantity of food we produce and our life.

Our guest is Nita Farahany, a Distinguished Professor at Duke University where she heads the Science, Law, and Policy Lab. The research she conducts in her lab specifically focuses on the implications of emerging neuroscience, genomics, and artificial intelligence; and, as a testament to her expertise, there is a long, long list of awards and influential positions she can lay claim to, including an appointment by Obama to the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues.
In this episode, we explore Nita’s recent publication, provocatively entitled, The Battle for Your Brain: Defending the Right to Think Freely in the Age of Neurotechnology. This takes us on our tour of the current neurotechnology that exists, the upcoming ways in which this tech will be integrated into our daily products, how it will shape our decision making, the profound list of ethical considerations surrounding cognitive liberty, and much more.

Combining Chat GPT and AI generated art to create a Zack Snyder Justice League sequel. We take what we know from interviews with Zack where he talks about where the story would go and which characters are in it. Then throw that info into chat GPT and see what the AI can come up with. Its actually a pretty good start to what could be a sequel if it had more info and color added to the story.
*disclaimer: I know AI art sometimes draws the characters a bit different, and the AI story can seem a little rushed at times, but its a good start and maybe in a few years AI will be able to make an infinite amount of high quality content for us to consume.
