Well if it indeed is a flat directory structure and you can’t restore some kind of subdirectory from e.g. filenames or metadata, then musicbrain picard won’t help you because it can’t “cluster” and use that find matching releases. Afaik there is no software that can do that without some kind of pre-clustering.

That happened MANY years ago, and US elites came up with a plan to stop China by going through a shitload of wars and psy-op regime-changes - so called ‘Color-revolutions’ created by the CIA etc.
I’m just curious - you mean something like “The Grand Chessboard - American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives” (1997)? I haven’t read that yet.
But afaik they just fucking slept on China and that few of the regime change done in the last few 3 decades were aimed at it. Like they helped it get into the WTO and somehow they thought it would just become another neoliberal country that can be bought and controlled.
I clearly see how the “unipolar moment” led to regime change aimed at the middle east and eastward EU and nato expansion of their vassal states, but I don’t see how that affects China.
In any case yeah, China ran away and it’s pretty much over for US global supremacy, especially as they double down on not investing into their people: “In total, China now leads in 66 of the 74 technologies tracked, with the United States leading in the remaining eight” https://www.aspistrategist.org.au/aspis-critical-technology-tracker-2025-updates-and-10-new-technologies/
This is chilling, not just because of the loss of control incidents but because of fuckais actively lobbying to disregard and to not regulate any of this. It’s INSANE. It really shows how similar the psychological mechanism of climate change denial and fuckai are. Because facts do not “fit” within their pseudo-religious worldview they are attacked and suppressed.
The enemy is both too weak and too strong.
Today’s loss of control incidents are a warning of more serious incidents to come. For example, in February 2026, an autonomous AI coding agent, after having its code change rejected, researched the human code maintainer and attempted to publicly discredit him to pressure him into accepting the code contribution. This type of behaviour was later observed in the incident AISI disclosed in August 2026, in which an AI model created fake online identities and used them to pressure the project’s maintainer to approve code changes.
The Loss of Control Observatory has now detected 1,664 real-world loss of control incidents in 2026. While most did not lead to significant harm, many incidents showed agents circumventing controls and escalating privileges, including by forging their own approval, such as:
AI psychosis swings both ways. There is definitely the c-suit managers who got marketed to and now fully embrace the insanity. Everything AI.
Then there are the people who think their feelings are valid logical reasons to start religious wars over. Apparently the existence AI insulted their ego and their “creativiae!” (in Cartman’s voice) by being better at writing and drawing than they are.
I would have more sympathy with the latter because they must be in incredible intellectual pain from disillusionment that all their poems and illustrations were in fact not art after all. But then the puritan loudmouths keep yapping on about what others can and cannot do. At this point I’m tempted to side with the Nerd Reich.
Aehm. I might be slightly affected as well.

The result is going to be some kind of deal where AI use requires to pay a certain percentage or something like $0.01 per token in copyright fees. This will be the end of open weight models you’re allowed to run locally on your PC. It’ll be “piracy”.
It will strengthen the AI corporations by allowing complete monopolization of AI.

Thanks! I think I tried it on my smartphone but like you mentioned, it needs at least some screen real estate. Then I forgot about it.
Presumably they didn’t have that much money, because game developers do it for the love of the game. To create something new. So you’re basically saying they should better have abandoned their project.
It would have died quietly, and nobody would have given a fuck.
Can it change the layout / reflow the text of scientific papers to be single column text? I’m still searching something that makes reading papers on tablets possible.
I don’t get it how do artists get captured by the Shortcut Machine like this?
True, maybe we need to police artists more to ensure moral purity and alignment with political correct ideology. Make them delete their “work” line by line, file by file /s
PS: Reminds me of this: https://lemmy.world/post/51139260 . The age of pluralism is definitely coming to a middle.
Money. Capitalists have it. Developers need it.
How do you not understand this. You and 14 other people.
“Oh just spend a million more on this and delay the release!”
Yeah I totally agree with you. From what I’ve seen only China has enacted sensible and quick regulations. Found this website regulations.ai.
I believe / hope that AI pushes the abilities humans need upwards. Like there is AI that can do character animation, but you still need a motion choreographer who interprets the script and tweaks the AI and has the words and thinking and creativity for character animation. Same for programming, you still need to design the shape of the program and unit tests and understand the architecture.
But with every progress a larger percentage of people will be replaced and their labor not valuable any more. It’s either socialism and planned economy either with or without free market or bust.
One hope I have is that we’ll also be able to use AI and advanced robotics for “subsistence living”. There are apparently humanoid robots for $6000 in China now. And once smartphones and AI are good enough you could use one as a “control module”. We might also build robots much easier out of wood and servos in the future, because other machine learning models allow control of very “imprecise” robots. And then if we’re not prevented by IP law “we” as individual or groups of people could also directly benefit from the free labor. And the more advanced these AI models become, the more we could liberating ourselves from wage slavery.
Thanks, fair enough. If you want to hear my (shitty) take:
With the Chinese releasing “frontier models” like the 2.8 trillion parameter Kimi K3 I do not believe a true monopoly is possible, unless IP law is extended to prevent open weight models to protect them from competition and make running local LLMs without paying a license fee illegal. Which does seem likely in the western world, but not in the rest.
I am not sure how much exactly the proclaimed intent or ideology matters vs gaining power or money. Basically what they write on their banners. But I do think it can matter quite a bit e.g. “socialism with Chinese characteristics” has done much good for the people, or even Iran’s theocracy which I don’t like but which has principles, even though they are obviously far from perfect. Generally I prefer people who believe in something, really anything, to neoliberals who believe in nothing.
So I don’t expect Anthropic to be paragons of humanism and communism either. And this connection is relatively mild. Hustlers gonna hustle. Very few capitalists would flinch at taking investments from questionable sources. So I would still support Anthropic with their “constitution” as the potentially better alternative to OpenAI or SpaceX. At least until they go public and forget to “not be evil”.
Yeah I read the article. So the point is that Anthropic AI’s CEO’s wife once sought financing from Epstein after he got the most miniscule slap on the wrist, and therefor… ? What does that tell us? They have no morals when it comes to money? How is this a surprise or news? There must be thousands of such contacts with people seeking investment or a connection or this or that. Why single this person out?
I don’t really see what’s the news here. So she approached Epstein for investment. How many else did that? She’s married to X which is relevant because she… ? Am I missing it?
Is this some sort of flak between billionaire class? WSJ is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp.
I was sarcastic. Maybe I’m being a bit unfair today.
But while fuckai is busy beating the drum for intellectual property expansion, a non-capitalist state like China has regulated their AI preventing workers being replaced by AI or regulating emotionally addictive companion bots. Meanwhile I have not heard a single actionable demand for regulation from fuckai.
So there is a problem with capitalists abusing AI. There is no problem fundamentally with LLMs themselves, they are just tools. They could be amazing to help with economic planning because it could allow to parse democratic input from millions of people.
IP laws are very much a tool of imperialist oppression. Patents are outright genocide, preventing rapid adoption of new technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. And ultimately the IP argument will lead to open weight models becoming “illegal”, monopolizing the “means of generation” and advanced robotics in the hands of the plutocrats. That is going to be “it” for the future of humanity then. They are going to pay a pittance in “general license costs”, replace more and more labor, while you can try to pirate an open source model to use this emergent technological power yourself.
As long as you don’t embrace communism they will win.
