Protobot generates random product and service ideas Protobot is very simple: it generates a product idea by matching a random product category with a random constraint. Before you read any further, just try it out. Right now, the English source list has 240 product ideas and 196 constraints. This means you have over 47,000 product ideas at your fingertips. Some are brilliant. Some are bizarre. Some are controversial. Some are hilarious. Some are very, very wrong. Have fun!

We introduce MusicLM, a model generating high-fidelity music from text descriptions such as "a calming violin melody backed by a distorted guitar riff". MusicLM casts the process of conditional music generation as a hierarchical sequence-to-sequence modeling task, and it generates music at 24 kHz that remains consistent over several minutes. Our experiments show that MusicLM outperforms previous systems both in audio quality and adherence to the text description. Moreover, we demonstrate that MusicLM can be conditioned on both text and a melody in that it can transform whistled and hummed melodies according to the style described in a text caption. To support future research, we publicly release MusicCaps, a dataset composed of 5.5k music-text pairs, with rich text descriptions provided by human experts.
Human vs AI Test: Can We Tell the Difference Anymore?
AI technology is advancing rapidly, and those who don’t follow the latest trends may be surprised by some of the new possibilities AI brings. We decided to do our own experiment and see if internet users are able to pick up clues and recognize photos, artworks, music, and texts created by Artificial Intelligence. What followed exceeded our wildest expectations. In some survey groups, as many as 87% of respondents mistook an AI-generated image for a real photo of a person. Only 62% of respondents interested in AI and machine learning managed to answer more than half of the questions correctly. Among the remaining respondents, more than 64% were wrong most of the time.

Create your generative music online using a simple Javascript API. Dittytoy allows you to create generative music using a minimalistic javascript API. All music on Dittytoy is generated entirely in code. So don't expect easy-to-use audio nodes to connect with virtual wires or a graphical user interface that allows you to define patterns easily: everything is code. Dittytoy gives you complete freedom to generate sound. If you want to write a function that generates the entire sound wave of your ditty, you can. In that case, open this boilerplate and get started: #10 Minimal Sound Wave. However, Dittytoy has several high-level building blocks that make creating sounds, musical patterns, and filters easier. We will explain these tools below. The API syntax is loosely based on the syntax of Sonic Pi. h/t once again to @grantpotter

Using Mastodon to power my blog comments | Graham Macphee
Since my article earlier this year about integrating my blog's comments with Twitter, I've now switched to power my blog comments with discussions happening on Mastodon.
Welcome to picoSYNTH! It is a playful way to create simple loops and beats. But by combining the equipment in interesting ways you can also make crazy complex stuff. h/y AGAIN to @grantpotter
a little girl couldn’t speak... so we listened. Inspoken symphony was created for all those who struggle to express themselves verbally. Inspired by a little girl who can’t speak, it transforms artwork into an original melody, giving the world a chance to communicate and connect with loved ones like never before. The software analyzes the shapes, lines, brightness, contrast, dominant colors, and density in each piece of art. It uses that information to determine the tempo, chords, musical style, timing, and pitch for each melody created, so each one is unique. Simply upload your artwork and within seconds, your artwork will be transformed into a magical melody of sound and animation! h/t to @dogtrax who posted this via a ds106 daily create https://daily.ds106.us/tdc3998/
How good are you at knowing when text has been written by a computer? How many sentences can a computer write before it no longer has you fooled? Find out for yourself!
Hello! Hopefully you are here because you want to make an archive of your tweets like this one. There are options for this like Tweetback but you have to have some computer programming knowledge to run that. I wanted to make something very simple. The process for this is: fill out a small form here drop your twitter archive zip file (in the format that it was available circa December 2022) into this page wait get back a zip file with a bunch of HTML files in it that you can upload wherever you host your web stuff now This even works if you only have access to your website through something like cPanel. Basically if the way you update your website is by uploading files to a web host, then this solution is a good one for you! Once it's uploaded, there is a styles.css file that should be pretty easy to modify if you want to customize things. Note: your browser will process the whole thing so if it's huge and/or your computer is slow... be prepared to wait a long while. Nothing is uploaded anywhere. You might get a notification that your tab is slowing your browser down. Just wait a while, you'll get an "archive.zip" in your downloads bar. It'll be over soon. Just like Twitter.
