College teacher / composer - Lemmy is pretty much the only social media I still use. I already feel disconected from my student’s reality but whatever.

Lol. I don’t need advice from you, go fuck yourself. Bisous bisous

Lol, why don’t you go fuck yourself you stupid fuck? You haven’t even articulate half the beginning of an idea and yet you feel you can call others idiots? The other user in this comment has been able to explain why he doesn’t agrre whith me, meanwhile, you can only bark an insult like 12 years old bully without adressing any of the points I’m making. You’re a nuisance to the internet, why dont you go jerk to some ai porn and pretend to be smart on reddit?

Head over.to Hexbear and say you like south park or something. You’re welcome.

Do you think I’m an idiot? See the my reply to the other comment if you care, I’m sure you do lol.

Here’s a little story for you. I’m a composer and college music teacher. Just last week, I was meeting with a potential client for music pieces and sfx for an app. I gave him my prices, which I consider to have been really low since the project was very simple, and he ended up telling me that it was really too expensive, and asking me why I didn’t have the tracks done by AI. I told him he wasn’t looking for a composer, but rather a programmer or something. I’ve been learning to play and compose and perfecting my artistic practice for 30 years. I’ve managed to make my passion my job because creating music is the thing that gives me the most satisfaction in the world. I have no interest in replacing this practice by entering prompts into an algorithm, even if I could make easy money from it. I’m a composer, that’s what I wanna do. In recent years, I’ve seen some of my students in their early twenties, often with absolutely no understanding of musical parameters, and who have already released two or three albums. At this point, someone who has never touched an instrument or produced a single piece of music on it’s own could be releasing an album a week. I’m not saying that this music is necessarily bad, I’m just saying that it doesn’t interest me, since there’s no artistic intention or approach behind it. I could also tell you about the works written by

I could also tell you about the written assignments that students hand in, and for which I can identify in less than 30 seconds which ones have been produced by AI (students overreact to their writing skills, it’s often laughable). I don’t even read these papers, I just mark them as average, since trying to prove anything would be a waste of time. As I tell them, those who have used chatgpt have “learned” to use AI, those who have done the work have learned to carry out research, to synthesize their ideas and to structure, articulate and present them.

One last thing. As far as innovation is concerned, AI can endlessly produce pieces that sound like Bach, but it took Bach to exist in the first place, and Glenn Gould to revolutionize the interpretation of his scores for this to be possible.

My main argument againt it is that I could not care less about something generated by a machine. What I like about art is seeing the world from the perspective of another human. Machines could make music albums or movies in seconds, to me it’s just a bland mashup of previous works created by humans and I have no interest in that. AI is only capable of creating variations of human art, not innovation like real artist can. We are on the edge of infinite content, I chose to give my time to human creation, not generic spin-off of it. My two cents.

Kala is pretty good brand with lots of models. Make sure to get a “concert”, sopranos are really small.

Agree. But having played on many different ones, I’de say instruments under 50$ are too shitty too be enjoyable, especially if you’re learning.

My 15 years old i5 750 upgraded with a 1060 can play almost anything. You could literally play great free games for the next 10 years on it without spending a dime. Maybe some gamers are doing too much? There’s no need to upgrade your pc every years to get 2 more fps…

A nice ukulele is around 100$. Voilà.

I got my first reddit ban today!! I told a gamer advocating for bikini armor or something that he should just get a second screen and watch porn while he plays if he’s so fucking horny all the time and it was flagged as “harassment”. It’s only for 7 days so I guess I need to work harder to get a permaban lol.

Lol, I’m a semi-noob and this sentence is really intimating.

Wait it’s suppose to be free? I still pay the 50$/m fee to guy who sold it to me.

Linux?

Why does Steam does the same thing but nobody cares? Steam also takes 30% of the price just because. Ubisoft has 100x more employees but always gets hate.

Yep, same. My 2012 mb is on Mint and it still blows away most of the modern PC laptops sub 500$ . Pre 2016 intel MB are amazing machines.

In my field of work, I’m stuck with the Apple ecosystem anyway. So having the chance to run linux on my M1 for all my personnal project is awesome. Also, as much as I hate Apple, those computers are just absolute beast in term of processing power, battery and design.

How come you don’t have a usename? Or is it a bug on my side?

BTW, I’m super happy with translation and AI in ff. I guess not every users wants the same, especially for those with english as first langage.

Thanks for sharing, looks great.
