Warner Music Group Partners With Suno To Offer AI Likenesses of Its Artists
Warner Music Group has reached a licensing deal with Suno that will let users create AI-generated music using the voices and likenesses of artists who opt in. WMG says participating artists will have "full control" over how their likeness and music are used. "These will be new creation experiences f...

Sitting here playing my new chess AI at chess and losing. It's not very advanced, but it does evaluate around 33 million moves a second. I'm always amused when it makes a well known opening even though I never taught it that.

using AI for code is great to get you 50% of the way there, especially if you were 80% there already

Well I'm sure this will go without a hitch.
It should be fun, we move onto NNUE from here (but only code this) because this is a good general, albeit slow, neural network that can be used to learn anything really.

This week in class we are doing MENACE physical reinforcement learning (using matchboxes to play a perfect game of tic-tac-toe) and THEN, day before Thanksgiving moving onto a chess NNUE evaluator.
Easy week. Going to stick to Windows.

Worked today on the vector rendering system some more so it can render a whole bunch of font stuff. Also integrated in a very nice video format called RoQ from an old video game called 11th Hour. Bella and I are an effective team.

One of the most surprising changes moving from Windows to Linux was compile time. Same code and environment (vscode + chess engine). It's about six seconds to compile on Windows. On Linux? Two seconds. Not sure if it's a compiler or file system or what difference, but that's a lot, and it adds up!

So first day in class with Linux?
Didn't go so well. Mirroring a screen from my laptop apparently requires hacker level sudo scripting. I got befuddled for the first 10 minutes of class trying to fix it and then went to Windows. Not my best moment.

After 72 hours, we're ALMOST at 100 copies of Crownfell sold!
To get all three items to 25% off, we only need:
- 3 more copies of Crownfell
- 11 more mats
- 18 more copies of Last Stand
I'm impressed with how *almost everyone* is getting the solo expansion. Solo play is incredibly important! 🎲✂️

#Crownfell is an asymmetric, abstract, 2-player strategy card game that is live on @thegamecrafter.bsky.social!
No stretch goals, except for this: The more people get it, the lower the price goes *for everyone*.
Add-ons include a playmat & solo expansion.

I was at Costco today and saw someone buying a huge tv with the “AI Enhanced” on the side. It’s getting to the point that the word AI doesn’t mean anything, certainly not intelligence. Artificial Silly Slop more like it. (Screams into the void).

2001 was some of the best world building we've ever done for future fiction moon stuff. Maybe Ad Astra is close, but it's nowhere near 2001 level. Did anyone else get close (special mention to Space 1999).

We got the chess engine we've been working on these past few months working in class yesterday. I've been stressing fast code, bit boards, no branching, just an F1 approach to move generation. And we got over 100 million moves evaluated in about 5 seconds! (with a simple evaluator)

I'm excited for this! But I was also excited for Stargate Origins and that proved to be promising but with a budget of about $10,000 to shoot the thing. Also, the picture below is from the movie and they were pretty clear they are continuing the series canon (nerd, "actually" moment there.. sorry)

I installed Linux on my Samsung laptop and it works... mostly. I need zoom to work (camera and microphone) and that's the part that was in the "didn't work" category. Looked great though. Going to see if I can get on eduroam before office hours today (ultimate test of a geek).

Yeah, I'm still up at almost midnight making slides for tomorrows classes.
I could be out solving crimes like other professors, or doing whatever else tv professors do, but not me...
Tomorrow we are doing chess evaluation functions and bunny raids. Yes, as in rabbits. Arc Raiders with bunnies. Yup

I have outpaced my audible credits and now am faced with an impossible quandary. Wait a week for a credit or buy Dungeon Crawler Carl book 3. This is such a well produced audiobook series, not a dramatization, but very nicely edited and great voicing.

Here's an opinionated view on how to fix Windows.
1. Got back to the secure driver model we had before Vista. Computers are fast enough now that the protection is worth it.
2. Take lessons from Windows NT to heart, it was secure, portable, and well designed.
3. Go back to Windows XP UI. I liked it.
