LLM generated music

Interesting take on the progress of LLM generated music

According to SpectreSoundStudios LLMs can create better music than many people, do now, because people often try to do only super techniques for other musicians to adore, not for the listening public.

Modern (upcoming) musicians can't sing in proper tune, let alone great and can't harmonize if their life depended on it. Musicians often can't even play together and need to do seperate recording takes, meaning that they sound terrible to horrific when they do attempt to play like a real band did in the 20th century.
Those are the kind of musicians SpectreSoundStudios has had in his recording studios in the two thousands period of time.

There are many caveats, to LLM created music, because the generated music sounds sterile without a human touch; imperfections are important, the feeding of energy from a drummer going a bit harder, slower or faster, makes the rest of the band tune in on that energy and it makes the song feel alive and kicking;

  • Black Sabbath
  • Judas Priest
  • Iron Maiden
  • Def Leppard
  • Queen
  • Slayer

all make massive songs which made the masses remember them, in awe, even fifty years later

Watch the video, so you stay informed on what LLM's are doing and succeeding in, to take over your listening pleasure, while destroying the environment we live in.

It progressed from the following

  • drum machines
  • samples
  • tempo
  • metrum
  • rhythm correctors
  • harmonizers
  • voice correctors

To result in the total replacement of musicians in the creation and execution phase, this is more prevalent in certain genres of music, than others

I don't need to tell you how disturbing it is to watch the video and realize this is already in effect

Go, watch and learn

Good Idea: Data centers that heat homes

https://news.infomaniak.com/en/infomaniak-inaugurates-a-revolutionary-data-center-that-recovers-100-of-its-energy-for-building-heating/

Data centers convert electricity into heat as a byproduct. Almost every facility in the world then gets rid of that heat by releasing it into the atmosphere. Infomaniak, a Swiss cloud provider, built a data center in Geneva that instead pipes 100% of that waste heat into the city's district heating network, warming around 6,000 homes per year and avoiding 3,600 tonnes of CO2 equivalent annually that would otherwise come from burning gas.
The technical setup: servers heat air to 40-45 degrees Celsius, an air/water exchanger transfers that to a water circuit, heat pumps raise the temperature enough to feed the district network, and the cooled water loops back to regulate server temperature -- no air conditioning needed. The whole system is built underground beneath a residential cooperative with no visible footprint above ground.
The full documentation, including real-time performance monitoring and a replication guide for other operators, is published openly at d4project.org. Infomaniak is actively looking for more heating networks to connect future data centers to.
The model already works at 25% capacity. At full capacity by 2028 it will run 10,000 servers across 1,800 square meters.

Infomaniak inaugurates a revolutionary data center that recovers 100% of its energy to heat buildings • Infomaniak

Infomaniak has developed a data center capable of recovering 100% of the electricity consumed in order to heat 6,000 homes a year. It has no impact on the landscape and it does not require water or air conditioning to be cooled.
