@mcc You might find this interview with Jam & Lewis ( the producers) about how that sound originated interesting: https://www.musicradar.com/news/jam-and-lewis-janet-jackson-control-prince
(tl;dr: it was a happy accident of them not knowing that they couldn’t push their gear as hard as Prince could his more expensive setup)

I have "ported" these over to the Internet Archive where they live a life and have links back to their original MIT Press pages should you want to buy a hard copy:

They announced a new Mew mystery gift event in Scarlet/Violet on today's pokemon presents video. Use code: GETY0URMEW
Apparently every Mew is going to have a different teratype and a matching move. I don't think they've done mystery gifts randomized like that before

In daily use of LLMs like ChatGPT,
Google Bard, Bing Chat, i am becoming less and less impressed with their "intelligence". At the same time often they provide better tools then the "normal search". Even with the reliablity issues and possible hallucinations. That should not be forgotten in the polarised discussion about generative AI. As a tool, with known limitations, LLMs are great and useful. Their use will only increase i guess. Problem is risks associated with them also...
