We’re talking IP protection in the age of AI this week in my AI+music class, and I cannot begin to describe how gleeful I am to be able to bring up OSU’s attempt to trademark “THE” now that I teach here

I know I went off about the main title theme for White Lotus S3 last week, but all is forgiven - which is exactly what I had hoped would happen last week (shhhhh no spoilers)

Today in my AI and music class, we started digging into the nuts and bolts of neural networks, and I introduced hidden layers using the scene from Severance where Helly finds scary numbers for the first time (I also told them that the work of hidden layers is Mysterious and Important, just like MDR)

Valendyne’s Day at a uni where you are valued looks like your dean (like, of the entire college of arts and humanities, not just the school of music) personally emailing you with a link to a grant that she saw that made her think of you, and doing so more than a month before the deadline 🥹

I almost always “Skip Intro” for the shows that I watch, but the Severance intro (for both seasons) is SO GOOD that I watch it every time. While clearly & intentionally CGI, there’s a photorealistic glossiness that’s uncannily reminiscent of AI-generated images (even in S1, before DallE et al)

Amid takedowns of various government sites and databases, several organizations are working to preserve vital climate, health, and scientific data before it’s gone for good.

I have a lot of reservations about the use of large language models (esp given the climate ethics), but I will say, I have some students in my AI & music class who have fantastic project ideas but no coding experience, and they have been able to accomplish some pretty incredible things so far

Is there a word for when random people show up at a government building and announce that they're in charge

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

So I haven’t done the math and probably won’t ever have time to, but did this year’s GRAMMYs have the most female/nb awardees of all time? It honestly felt that way, but I don’t know if that’s just the fact that statistically, slightly increased representation feels like a landslide, or if it’s true

For the past three years, I’d used Spotify’s API to help demonstrate MIR to our students (as well as incite discussions about whether or not Spotify is evil - was really looking forward to it this year). However, I just discovered that in Nov, they shut down the audio features portion of their API.

I’m admittedly not up to date on DOOM mods, but has anyone made one for Severance (and by extension of the Holmdel Complex, Bell Labs)? I won’t have the time to do something like this until I have tenure, but dang, what a fun, nerdy wonder it would be
