Two things!
1st: New track #release: "Goin' Mirlo".
- https://mirlo.space/die-nmi/release/various
Why is that?
2nd: Because I moved most of my stuff away from #Soundcloud today. This company is now feeding my work to unspecified AI companies, and no. I am sick of doing free creative commons for company suckers. I do music for humans. Not for AI. So good bye, soundcloud.
What remains there is an #antifa track (can't be wrong to train AIs to be anti fascist), an old noisy track of mine from 1989, and this one. To cut deeply into their flesh or so :)
I can only recommend to do that to other musicians as well, as long as you don't want to have strange AI clones of your music around (but without your spirit) and other people making money out of it.
If you move away, try to stay away from shady dark patterns infested "upload your music" services.
Personally I've decided to move from Soundcloud to #Mirlo Space (hence the title) - here are those guys: @mirlo . I've watched them for almost a year trying to enable something different, something cooperative style for and together with musicians and not for some companies sake. Trust takes time, and I think I can trust the Mirlo gang now ;) .
You still have other options in case you wanna move away from Soundcloud – a complete other model would be i.E. self hosting your #music with something as cool as #faircamp . Just don't stumble into the fangs of the next musicians spirits sucking company, doing this not for your benefit but for their shareholders. That won't go well. Never unfortunately.

The Catholic Church has a new Pope, and he explicitly cited the threats AI presents for workers as a reason for choosing the name Leo XIV.
With the tech industry doing all it can to defend its power, could the Pope be an ally against the AI onslaught?

FFS: What an absolute bellend: "Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will still exist ‘because you still need childcare’"
Were I still using that POS Duolingo, this would have made me stop.

Last weekend, Elon Musk shared some images on his X platform that he claimed had been created by the Grok AI system. They were actually just edits of original work by Australian artist Charles Brooks, a former concert cellist who is known for photographing the insides of instruments. An X user named Eric Jiang had run some of these through Grok, adding people to the original photos so they look like buildings. Musk retweeted the post with the comment "Generate images with @Grok." @404mediaco's Matthew Gault spoke with Brooks. “I feel like, if he’s plugging his own AI software, he has a duty of care to make sure that what he’s posting is actually attributed correctly and is properly his,” he said. “But ‘duty of care’ and Musk are not words that seem to go together well recently.”

Following a ProPublica investigation into how DOGE had developed an error-prone AI tool to determine which VA contracts should be killed, a trio of lawmakers said the Trump administration continues to “stonewall” their requests for details.

微信的AI，至於這麼敏感嗎？
就因爲有「追求民主，反對獨裁」和「和平請願」，連馬敘倫的信息都要屏蔽？
太可笑了！你在怕什麼？
WeChat's AI, does it really need to be this sensitive?
Just because of phrases like “pursuing democracy and opposing dictatorship” and “peaceful petition”, even information about Ma Xu-lun is being blocked?
So ridiculous! What are you afraid of?
