    Holy crap,

    I was willing to admit, that in the AI race USA breaks its own laws to get an advantage over PRC. National security concerns.🇺🇸

    It turns out, the advantage is for the big tech CEOs against the other citizens. Securing an inequality concerns.💰

    For the past several months or more, every music video that I've listened to was completely distorted. All of it has been totally destroyed. It sounds tinny, ringy with horribly mangled instrumentation and vocals. Has this happened to anyone else here?

    23:00 @bennjordan you should totally teach us artist out here how to set something like this up!
    does it just work sort of like a dogwhisle? just high pitched enough that no living thing can hear it? could people maybe make something like this using any ol' music software or DAW?

    I wonder if there's a method that can work the opposite so tensorboard reports make the developers believe there's always more scope for training, infinite training loops, bet that's gonna cost time and money.

    Thank you for this. This is the closest to my own opinion ive seen someone mirror on this. Money being made off the back of human labour & time needs to go to the labourers. Fucking end of story. Taking training data is all one big excuse for unpaid human labour.

    This is really cool. I wonder if and how this same idea could be applied to writing?
    Been slowly going through your history of videos, thank you for those, as well as this. The stuff you post on here is both enlightening and educational, and I like your approach a lot!

    Dude subliminal sound to humans can make people sick and change cellular function especially in the harmonics of 440
    This is extremely dangerous technology if morphed from music.
    I'm surprised they haven't come for you in black suits yet

    Hearing what AI thought it heard after the poisoned files gave me hope. I'm wanting to start narrating audio books but I want to poison what I release so it screws the scrapers.

    Your impact, creativity and intelligence is inspiring.

    And you're the perfect example to give when someone says, "I'm just one person, what can I do?". I don't have your abilities but I do have the ability to use the knowledge you so generously share for the overall chaotic good.

    Very interesting. Wish I understood it better though. I know a lot of pure (abstract) Math and also practical electronics (i.e. circuits, components, circuit analysis, design, troubleshooting, repair, etc.) But I am a total idiot when it comes to stuff like AI, Neural Networking, AI learning and training. Other than a few vague ideas I don't understand how it works. But, watching your video I think I might spend some time trying to learn more. Not looking to become an expert but would like to gain a greater depth understanding as to how it all works.

    This is crazy. I used to listen to The Flashbulb all the time, then like 20 years later I find out the guy behind it is poisoning AI music algorithms. Hell yeah.
