I've posted these two videos featuring WING and Vahtang before:

And I was enjoying them again this morning when a thought occurred to me. I don't know what the future holds, but one (hopefully remote) possibility is one where many of us lose infrastructure that we take for granted. For example, electricity. But even if that happened, thanks to human's awesome vocal ability, we won't have to be left without our sick beats.

Imagine a future group of humans who continue a tradition of "electronic" music with sounds, patterns, forms, and idioms completely removed from the context from which it used to copy. It is no longer a copy. It is the thing.

So, I have painted some walls. This is generally considered to be a reasonably minor DIY task but this kind of work has sent me to an anxious tailspin before and now it is noticeably not doing that. This is a pretty significant mental health success.

I can probably credit my medication regime and taking some DIY classes for this

Do we have a name for this genre of "our glorious AI future means we fire people" announcement? Like the "Our Incredible Journey" startup shutdown posts?

@glyph It's nice to not feel so alone, seeing another FOSS project lead say "we don't want our project to become a legal experiment"

I feel like the fact that we haven't seen enough leadership in FOSS say "hey, we DON'T know the licensing implications of this stuff" is catapulting the greater FOSS ecosystem into one giant legal experiment that seems, frankly, very likely to be grim for us.

I might say more in a separate thread. This has been brewing on my mind quite a bit lately.

Thanks for saying what you did in choosing to make a policy!

I've had a lot going on and have not wanted to have this difficult conversation with the community, but apparently we have reached the point where it absolutely needs to be laid out clearly. To be honest I am still kind of shocked that anyone would consider it acceptable to start putting LLM output into open source libraries at all, just purely based on IP concerns alone. The way that the vendors' IP indemnification works only makes sense for proprietary code.

The interesting thing about ffmpreg is that it suggests you need two females to successfully impregnate a male.
