An Aboriginal rock shelter was demolished during construction of a Renewable Energy Zone in NSW and the native bird habitat was cleared
Iconoclasm: From cultural landscape to rubble

"The Central West Orana Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) demolished the rock shelter during land clearing...It is the same company that was responsible for the displacement of about 60 native bird hatchlings, left homeless after the felling of trees."

"The federal environment department investigated the matter and said it found "no evidence of non-compliance" with conditions under it's environment protection and biodiversity conservation act." >>

The native forest logging industry in Australia

Victoria claims to have stopped native logging. So why is it importing Tasmanian forests?

"No matter how much public money, suggestions for change and reform or recommendations for value-adding, the industry simply cannot survive without massive subsidies and handouts from government. It has been like this for decades."

"The taxpayer should not be expected to keep propping an industry that loses so much money. It is time to terminate contracts, cease handouts, and fully close the native forest logging industry in Australia. Instead, we should transition to a well managed plantation-only forestry sector – as New Zealand did in 2002." >>

Victoria claims to have stopped native logging. So why is it importing Tasmanian forests?

There’s no economic or environmental case for native logging. Yet taxpayer money is still being used to support it.

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
