I have – I had high hopes for it, but the vocals are still pretty bad. They all have this metallic, tinny quality, liked they’re subtly vocoded or being sung into those little toy spring microphones for kids. It’s a constant reminder that it’s artificial and just completely takes me out if it.

I don’t know how Suno has become so much more popular than Udio. Every Suno track I’ve heard has sounded like the same generic pop, and the vocals always have this noticeable “synthy” quality.

At first I thought the quoted text was just him having ChatGPT write his tweets for him. But then I clicked through and saw the video of him actually speaking it to the camera. He was probably just reading it off a screen, but seeing a dead-eyed person earnestly parroting ChatGPTese like that was one of the creepiest things I’ve seen this year.
The blurb is still accurate – the homepage has no weather, no news, no sponsored links, etc. Google the company does advertising, but the search engine page itself is still really minimalist. I think a lot of people forget (or never knew) how incredibly cluttered and ugly search engines used to be:

What is this criticizing, exactly? The Google homepage is still incredibly spare.
Yeah, this post shows a tragic lack of familiarity with the concept of zoomies.
“How do you kill that which has no life?”
Beyond parody (for nearly a decade at this point).
61·2 个月前During lockdown I played ECHO, which had been in my backlog for a few years after a stray recommendation I saw on MetaFilter. It was a surprisingly tight integration of beautiful and intriguing environmental/UI/sound design, gorgeous music, compelling yet minimalist storytelling (and voice acting), and a really strong gameplay loop of stealth, puzzle-solving, and the occasional panicky run-and-gun. Imagine my surprise when I read up on it after and learned it only sold a few thousand copies!
I strongly recommend playing it blind, but this trailer gives a good overview of the style and mechanics.
One of the greatest games of all time from a design and gameplay perspective. There’s a reason it’s in the MoMA. The soundtrack is an all-timer as well.
It’s also relatively new as a federal holiday, only added in 2021. Before that it was largely officially observed only in Texas and a handful of cities.
They should try to be funny/creative/clever, for one thing, and either using an existing format or creating a new one. This is literally just pictures and direct quotes from the Founders. Like the sidebar here says, “Random pictures do not qualify as memes.”
This is not a meme.
Apparently in many developing world cities with shaky property records it’s known for fraudsters to make fake real estate deals using buildings they don’t own, to the point that in Google Street View it’s common to see “this property is not for sale” or similar painted on house walls near the entrance. I’ve never seen it on a building this large though!
Fun fact: In French, ChatGPT sounds like chat, j’ai pété (“cat, I farted”)
I’m wary of the hype over this gambit because it’s been tried several times in the recent past and has always ended with a few key legislators caving and returning to the capitol for no real concessions. Hopefully they realize that people are not in the mood for token resistance (and Abbott’s threats against them will steel their spines).
