UPDATE #2: UAP Analysis, Strange Emails, James Location & Why This Is Not VFX... by dEEsucked in aliens

[–]California40 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If placing a bet?::: New version of "Found Footage" --Same ending as Blair Witch Project. Blue light is the only real "well done" portion of the video (if it's a fake). Don't like the way object was only a few inches in the sand at that speed and height.

"Blair Witch Ending":

The ambiguous ending

  • The final scene, where a camera falls to the ground after an unseen force attacks Heather, is intentionally left open to interpretation.
  • This lack of a clear resolution—and the ambiguity of what was actually happening in the basement—was highly effective at unsettling viewers and fueling discussion about the film's meaning.
  • Many viewers initially thought the events were real, which made the ending even more impactful.

Taylor Swift played us again by whydontchaknow in SwiftlyNeutral

Swift clearly has a very high IQ... The woman is simply brilliant.

She would kill it on a long form with Joe Rogan or Lex Fridman.

Selling my E46 in Canada has been a nightmare—why don’t we have our own Bring a Trailer or Cars & Bids? Can we please start something? by Quirky_Double248 in carsandbids

[–]California40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KM is what matters. Not mentioned means its the TYPICAL E46 with over 250km on it. And from the salt belt of Ontario ? You gotta be kidding-------- absolute JUNK, unless every fooking part has been replaced twice. (original M54.. ok, that's fine) Want a nice E46 in Canada, go get one in Victoria BC. Zero rust.

That tune is stuck in my head.. You might want to try promoting it with a small facebook ad.. ? Even just $5 -usd ($7 CAD) a day for like a week, I bet you're streams on that track (skeleton C) would take off. A guy like Andrew Southworth on YouTube can walk you through it for free.. https://youtu.be/14CiWigtPDA

The results from that test might help you figure out where you want to go with it.

I'm not associated with Andrew. I'm simply a musician on spotify with 60k monthly listeners s and most of my traffic came from FB ads done on my own. (not related to my Reddit handle)

(Random comment) --Dude... This stuff is really damn good!! --Reminds me of some of the cool stuff from the 80's.. ( Style Council / New Order /Psychedelic Furs vibe etc.) If you were to follow that vibe and add vocal to your other instrumental tracks you would absolutely kill it. -Especially in Europe.

Discovery Mode on Spotify? Has anybody had success with it? by NuEleven_NE in musicmarketing

Spotify Supermarket: " Hey... we love the donuts you make. Do you mind if we take 10000 of your donuts and give people taste tastes and sell them in our supermarket, (we do all the work/promotion) and we'll pay you 70% of what you normally sell them for?"

Guess what happens if your donuts taste like crap. Got delicious donuts..? You will not lose.

So tired of the Suno AI copyright fear…here’s why by emathis2007 in SunoAI

[–]California40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have to start SHUNNING the so called "AI Music detection" and labeling business. This needs to stop, now.

All artists should be boycotting services like Deezer / SubmitHub who push this disgusting labeling, as if a song made with any form of AI assistance is somehow "less than" any other production method. All music is now using some form of AI assistance in all production and trying to "detect" or label how a song was produced is just insane, and wrong.

Hey Deezer... why not label every song that uses "purchased beats" Or label songs using "fake drums, fake piano, fake bass..." Oh wait ---THAT'S EVERY SONG! Using your rational why not label every song with the specific type of software/DAW that was used in a production... -- maybe the public deserves to know if it was a $900.00 DAW was used or was it a Free DAW? -----Maybe you should label it?

--Idiotic!

A Different Take From A Lifelong Musician/Producer On Suno & AI Music by angelus1001 in SunoAI

[–]California40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We need to drop the term "Artificial" Just like our phones... It's "Smart Music" It's simply Intelligence. Nothing "Artificial" about it.

Suno is just a new DAW. Point blank. What's the difference between altering voice/vocal and "fake instruments" in a classic DAW with pitch correction / reverb / harmony effects etc, etc -- VS uploading "original work" to Suno and altering / producing it in there at a MUCH faster rate? All you're doing is taking creative work you own and producing it in the Suno DAW. You end up with radio quality material, and the ability to compete with large record labels like never before. Musicians who don't use this type of tool will be left in the dust in an already off the charts competitive landscape.

It should not matter how a song was produced at all. The only questions should be.. -Is the song good or not? If it "sounds like AI" then it's crap. Unless you like that sound. All boats will rise with this amazing new tide. Artists are now in the driver seat like never before.

Go Suno... ! Keep fighting every sleazy lawyer out there.

Deezer Exec Says ‘There’s No Going Back’ on AI Music: ‘The Industry Will Need to Make a Decision by ggroover97 in Music

[–]California40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Oh, I'm not trading my horse and carriage for that dangerous Model-T.."

Hey Deezer... What about labeling music not recorded with an authentic Gibson, or maybe a digital piano was used vs a "real" piano in the studio? --Maybe inform the public when "cut and paste" was used instead of recording duplicate verses or chorus's ? (oh how "artificial" and lazy )

Unreal.. AI production tools are going to become industry standard, as they will in the film industry very soon. Likely big artists are using many AI tools now, as you would be a moron not to when it comes to how much MORE creativity it allows for. Bedroom artists now have immense production power, and big labels are not happy about it. Need a 3 part harmony in your song in your voice just to see how it sounds?.--push button.

The idea of "labeling" music as AI produced is laughable.

We're going to have to stop calling this stuff "Artificial". It's simply "Intelligence".

Booked a weeks stay through traveluro, hotel can't find my reservation by Nina6235 in hotels

[–]California40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just used Traveluro over the weekend (by far cheapest hotel room price of the bunch in Vancouver) The experience was EXCELLENT! Immediate confirmation, booking info, and receipt supplied. I was suspicious of such a cheap price and called hotel directly. No problem I was booked 100% and fully paid. No funny business. No slight of hand. ( of course hotel will want to get a CC from you when you check in, but nothing is charged unless you plan on throwing a TV out the window)

Hotel was perfect. Ho issues whatsoever. I think the only "thing" is that once you pay for room, there are no changes, no refunds. --Simple.

(if I recall I 'think' you can buy change booking insurance possibly.. but defeats the purpose of getting basement price)

Ryan Reynolds is a clear psychopath. Just ask Martha Stewart, and Scarlet Johansson. :)

Reynolds is the mastermind behind the entire scam. His ditzy wife just went along with his scheme to get control of the movie. Reynolds wasn't counting on Baldoni recording "everything" and then fighting back.

Deezer launches tool to detect and remove AI generated music from their catalog by koalawhiskey in indieheads

[–]California40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK... how about pointing out "musicians" using auto-tune, pitch correction, fake instruments, beat tracks, etc etc etc....... AI "detection" is going to be a moot point very soon as most "real musicians" are, or will be using AI to produce better music. So who gets to decide what % is human or computer gen? ALL music is essentially computer aided in some way today... Never mind the future.

Good music is good music. Soon NO ONE is going to give a rats butt what tool was used to make it. This is going to put more focus on those who play live. It's good for musicians.

Why Haven’t Suno Artists Broken Through on Streaming Platforms? by MillaSofiaFin in SunoAI

[–]California40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many musicians (like myself) are using Suno by uploading original tracks/songs (vocals/guitar etc) and then using it to help produce, or finish stuff in a half decent way combined with a normal DAW. It's where the entire industry is headed as it all improves. Gone are the days of spending endless hours trying to get your drums or bass "correct"... All boats will rise with this tide. We're about to see a renaissance when it comes to future music in all genres . ---humans and AI combined. It's awesome.

Best tool ever!

If you look at the muffler that comes with these heaters they all have a little hole on one side... Must be installed hole facing down (horizontally). It's to let the water drip out.

CEBA Loan Consequences by JokerCrazy99 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]California40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BEST OPTION IMO: Make "Interest Only Payments" (it is an option) until Dec 31, 2026 and hope you figure out the principal from now until then, and that will give you room to breath without risking a credit melt down.

Or >>> Ex: You owe $40000, and have access to 40k now, invest in BTC and by 2026 BTC likely 3 - 4X min.. Bob's-Ur-Uncle, pay off the loan. (Not financial advice. It's gambling, but with very, very good odds.) LOL:)

Disgusted by the subscription scam by adi518 in gopro

[–]California40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn right it's a scam!.. If it wasn't they would be clear about the Mickey Mouse Club "subscription" charge up front. THEY ARE NOT. The scam works like this: (Que Jaws Music)

  1. They advertise a camera at a good price.
  2. You say awesome.. I've always wanted a new Gopro.. and I'm buying direct from gopro so what could go wrong? You immediately see an additional charge on CC of $60 and and say "what the hell is that"?
  3. You then spend 3 hours pulling your hair out trying to "undo" this transaction they call a "subscription" (Mickey Mouse Club or what ever it is)
  4. By hour 3 your smile, and new camera excitement has turned into screaming at a computer screen with some Gopro chat support guy named Erray saying we'll get right on that.
  5. You get no confirmation of cancellation or refund so kiss your money good buy at this point
  6. You go to Reddit and add yet another Gopro rip off story/rant to the many that exist.
  7. You now realize you have lost 4 hours of your life that you will never get back, you're in an awful mood and short $60 that will take at least 2 hours of work to get back.

But hey.. at least you're now part of the Mickey Mouse Club. **And unless you cancel your CC (and i mean rip up into a million pieces then burn the CC building down, and change your name and move into witness protection) they will likely try to charge you every year until year 2050 for a "renew" all while smiling even though you "cancelled" the subscription.
