The music that YuE2 is makes is cleaner that Minimax Music 3, but I can't make it generate anything that isn't extremely bland. Songs fail to develop, they always sound like they're stuck in the intro. The composition feels e

And yet 2014 was when the company culture completely changed. The co-founder resigned. The company switched to having bosses for everyone (previously they had an informal hierarchy). They moved to having serious HR, PMs, tech leads, 1:1 rep

Company: "We're no longer going to focus on merit as a virtue." Company slowly becomes worse and worse. Me: "That starting gun surely signaled the start of the decline." You: "That was a long time ago. Couldn&#

WearOS watches are trash for me personally as they all require you to run Google Play Services on your phone, which I won't do. The only smartwatch I've had luck with is the Garmin series (Venu, Fenix), and since I really only wea

The only promising social network to me was that browser extension that let you comment on every single page, but it was shut down when people freaked out that it (obviously) sent the URL of every page you visited to their servers. I'v

You don't need trade routes to invent latrines and garbage cans. European exploitation doesn't create a caste system where it's seen as beneath you to do the most basic of socially hygenic tasks. Obviously there's someth

Electricity exists to be used, and we have essentially infinite free energy from nuclear power. Why are we wringing our hands pretending like we're going to run out of electrons? The days of hauling and burning ancient organic material

So the US government wants Anthropic to require IDs from their users, driving them to over platforms, but won't require this from OpenAI?
