Well I think the terrifying part is that a computer might be able to generate an identity / artist(s) for the music it creates that we would also feel a stronger relationship to than the real thing.
On a purely musical level, there are already some artists that I really enjoy, who I suspect use algorithmic composition heavily in their music. I was wondering about this one the other day, since it's sort of similar to algorithmically mashed-up sample pieces that I've made (but better):
I am no fan of either party, and I consider people like Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton to be right-wingers as well, but the self-proclaimed political right does the majority of warmongering.
This 'weaponized brain' bullshit arises out of a very legitimate fear of the US military, the right-wing nutcases that pull its strings, and its extensive history of unethical human experimentation. If DARPA is seriously interested in reducing TBI then perhaps they should consider conducting fewer fraudulent wars.
The people who wrote and compiled information for this article are engaged in speculative vigilantism and snitching. Maybe this info is already known to the feds, or maybe not, and maybe it is factual, or maybe not. Regardless, releasing it does nothing but harm people who don't deserve to be harmed. Stop snitching!
Ugh, I'll just continue to buy drugs on the black market and use them at home. No one wants to go lay in a hospital bed after shooting up. Addicts can safely manage their own addictions, if they are provided consistent doses and clean needles.
Legalize it, tax it, and use the proceeds of the taxation for needle exchanges and rehab clinics.
It's clear that he issued an executive order, which may or may not be utterly meaningless.
And Gitmo was just an example, not necessarily saying it would even be at the top of my list. Of course sending the detainees to other prisons is not the answer. These people need to be freed, now. Same deal with the multitude of other US military prisons and CIA black sites.
Such a weak excuse. Sure a TV show might not play clippings from a speech of his, but if Obama actually offers to do a live interview on any TV show, no one would turn down that ratings boost.
Right! That's why I consider, for example, his campaigning on closing Guantanamo to be completely disingenuous.
Get on TV every single night, spread awareness about what's happening there, tell US citizens that we need to lead by example, and use the propaganda machine to create positive change, for once.
This is a great question. What would the world look like if no individual could earn more than a million dollars a year, or if companies were taxed at exceedingly high rates once they reached a valuation of 100 millions dollars?
I realize it would be tricky to implement, but considering the societal benefit of more even wealth distribution the idea itself is worth exploring.
