That's not AI generated at all. Using acoustic models to stem out individual sections from a recording is not creating new material (and I wouldn't even describe that as "AI" despite what I'm sure a lot of the tools offering it want us to believe).

Sorry, that's AI. So is OCR, so is voice recognition, and many other things you probably use and take for granted. I'd suggest you focus on use cases not trying to redefine definitions for an entire area of science and technology based on your own preferences.

Saying "I'm against fully AI generated music" is at least precise, and doesn't throw out detecting cancer along with the AI bandwagon term.


Not AI generated. The ML model isn’t coming up with anything novel^, it’s just converting from one format to another, or extracting data - similar to automatically cropping photos to faces.

It’s still AI, but it’s not the AI system generating something

Have you heard of machine learning?


The current genAI trend is machine learning too so what's the point of this question?

I think the point is that to most people, “AI” has a different meaning than “machine learning”

AI and voice recognition were using "machine learning" for several decades, which is basically just brute force statistics.

ML voice recognition is still far superior to AI-based voice recognition. At its best, Gemini is still less accurate at parsing speech than Dragon Naturally Speaking circa 2000.


That is funny it won't even show us the homepage.

We are allowed into the blog though! https://confer.to/blog/


Reddit link is an official announcement, and it's also on their blog

It's so frustrating when websites hijack this shortcut.

This website recommends Gab, Truth Social and X under the claim "Unlike Big Tech companies, which often harvest user data for profit, these smaller, privacy-focused platforms tend to resist such practices".

I remember these from their weird Twitter posting, too. I muted them because they sounded like some weird astroturfing for Twitter that kept getting recommended.

Well, that makes everything they say immediately and deeply suspect.

Is the Plex app somehow able to play codecs on a AppleTV that Jellyfin's app can't?

Jellyfin's Android app does let you download files but having to do music tracks one by one isn't very useful.

Finamp is the app to use for proper offline playback/sync of music from your Jellyfin server. Go for the beta version, it's far ahead of stable and works well.


>Accelerometer detects movement, tilt, and gesture

>proprietary Neighbour Position Measurement (NPM) system uses precision copper coils to let LEGO SMART bricks sense distance, direction, and orientation between multiple LEGO SMART Bricks.

Until it can trigger motors it doesn't feel super exciting to me.


Yes, they made this explicit in the "fact sheet"

>... LEGO SMART Bricks can talk to each other directly - no app, central hub, or external controller required.

Hoping there will be an alternative to using a phone app for:

>Firmware updates and diagnostics are handled via the LEGO SMART Assist app.


> Series of modular synthesisers produce real-time audio, minimising memory load. > Miniature speaker is acoustically tuned through internal air spacing to amplify and clarify sound within the LEGO SMART Brick’s enclosure. > Responsive audio effects are tied to live play actions; there are no pre-recorded clips.

Very interesting!
