text-to-speech and the machine's (re-)(mis-)interpertations
it gets strangely angry, sputters-n-ticks, perhaps a giggle or two (& kinda convinced the first track might be a field recording of my sister trying to get her kids out the door)

Everyone's against appropriating artists' styles until it's Baldessari.

maybe it's just my inner anarchist punk but "theft" is just not the thing about AI that pisses me off

i'm a thousand times more concerned about, say, face surveillance or the use of machine learning for automated decision making in health care than I am about spicy autocomplete trained on my music

I'd appreciate if any audio tech folks could help circulate this exciting call for a fully-funded PhD position working in multichannel audio design for galleries.

It's part of an ARC funded project 'From Noise to Signal: Improving Sonic Experiences in the Gallery'

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

On "AI slurs" (clanker, etc) -- on one depressing level, I worry that slurs for machines humanize them b/c assigning slurs is what people do to people. But I understand the impulse, because we assign slurs to dehumanize. But if you tell me to "kick a clanker" and am gonna feel bad for it.

It’s apparently very common, and can be really difficult to spot when patients don’t realise it’s happening.

Every single time..! To the point that my last doc suggested I had white coat syndrome.
