  • AI-Music Arms Race: Meet Udio, the Other ChatGPT for Music

    Jump

  • I feel exactly the same way. I can now be creative in ways I couldn't before. Sometimes I'll use my own lyrics, sometimes I'll use ChatGPT to write lyrics and I'll edit. It's really fun to play with the same lyrics in different genres too.

  • What destinations are experiencing "undertourism"?

    Jump

  • Those are the exact things I'm looking for (just waiting for a few more roads to connect towns). I'm glad to hear it's living up to the expectations I've heard of!

    I went to Iceland a couple years ago and the landscapes are amazing, but there are definitely areas where you run into a lot of tourists, busses, etc.

    I'm visiting the Faroe Islands later this year and I'm hoping to experience some rugged landscapes in relative isolation there too.

  • No worries, I just wanted to share a couple cool AI tools. Figured this sub was as good as any to post about Suno and Udio in.

  • I thought so too. It's really fun to mess around with as someone who isn't very musically inclined. I did a quick search on Lemmy and was surprised to see neither has really been posted about.

    Jump

  • I'd definitely like to go there someday too--it's just a bit too remote for me at the moment.

    I can see its tourism becoming what Iceland was like 15-20 years ago.

  • Fine, then think of it as free money to supplement your income with when you're 60+.

  • Farmers warn of first year without harvest since Second World War

    Jump

  • That's a really interesting article. I didn't know there were so many benefits to solar panels over crops.

    However, I don't see how growing crops under panels could become widespread.

    National Renewable Energy Laboratory estimate that if just 1 million acres of farmland was covered in solar panels, the nation would meet its renewable energy goals.

    For reference, Iowa alone has over 35 million acres of farmland. Solar panels are almost too efficient to cover a meaningful amount of farmland.

  • Russia issues nuclear warning to new NATO member

    Jump

  • Has the US/west made any statements or moves towards moving nuclear weapons into Finland? Seems like that would be unnecessary.

    Tennessee passes 'chemtrail' bill banning airborne chemicals

    Jump

  • I hear ya, there's definitely nuance. There are certainly crazy people that supported this for crazy reasons, and there are rational people who supported this for rational reasons. I'm not trying to dismiss the whole thing as a crazy conspiracy theory.

    Tennessee passes 'chemtrail' bill banning airborne chemicals

    Jump

  • Gotcha, that comment makes more sense now.

    I suppose I was being a bit cynical. However, I think many people supported the bill to ban "Chem trails," and were ignorant to actual weather manipulation techniques it was prohibiting.

    Bottom line is that this bill is a good thing. It doesn't really matter what reasons people had for supporting it.

    Tennessee passes 'chemtrail' bill banning airborne chemicals

    Jump

  • Just because people/corporations can use those legitimate weather manipulation tools, should they be allowed to?

    I don't think they should. That's why I'm saying this bill seems like an unintentionally good thing.

    I'm confused by your comment. I think we agree there should be regulation on the manipulation you described?

    Tennessee passes 'chemtrail' bill banning airborne chemicals

    Jump

  • The bill forbids "intentional injection, release, or dispersion" of chemicals into the air.

    Instead it broadly prohibits "affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight".

    This bill is obviously based in ignorance, but from an envirinmental/pollution standpoint this seems like a good thing. It's not their intention, but it sounds like it would protect the atmosphere from potential real polluters.

    Edit: based in ignorance in the sense that some people supported the bill to ban "chem trails" (an ignorant position). Not in the sense that weather manipulation isn't real.

  • US and Japan push for ban on nuclear weapons in space with UN security council resolution

    Jump

  • Isn't this redundant? The UN Outer Space Treaty already prohibits all WMDs in space, and all major countries have signed on.

    States shall not place nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction in orbit or on celestial bodies or station them in outer space in any other manner;

  • Women pinned cougar during 'hand-to-hand combat' to save friend trapped in its jaws

    Jump

  • Yeah this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Bears (brown, not so much black) and wolves don't see people as prey? Wrong. Humans just cross paths with them less frequently.

    Humans may not be the prey of choice for bears and wolves. But that's the case for mountain lions too.

  • Albania, wary of Russia, reopens Soviet-era air base to NATO

    Jump

  • That's exactly my point. The issue to Russia isn't how countries join NATO. The issue to Russia is NATO in and of itself, so they create propaganda to justify their actions against NATO and NATO-aligned countries.

  • Albania, wary of Russia, reopens Soviet-era air base to NATO

    Jump

  • Again, all that matters is Russia believes NATO is an existential threat that is getting closer to their border. Good faith diplomacy has nothing to do with it.

    Furthermore, Russia (and the USSR) has always used sticks rather than carrots in diplomacy. It's not like they immediately went from friendly relations in Ukraine to boots on the ground. It was preceeded by their version of "diplomatic" bullying for years. You can see this now in many other countries.

    To be clear, I'm not justifying their actions. I'm just saying you can't look at their actions through a western diplomatic lens if you want to understand their behavior. They have a completely different modus operandi.
