I saw a startup at Tech Crunch London 2015 that was doing something similar, I think they were called JukeDeck but they seem to have dissapeared.

#12I'm working on an IDE for music composition. http://ngrid.io Launching soon. Music is fundamentally unsolvable by AI. We'll have AI writing code before we'll have AI writing meaningful music.
Just a fyi: I'm getting a 500 error when visiting that link.
Sounds interesting, would love to take a look at what you're building.

Weird. It loads for me and I do see visitors coming so it might be just you? Send me an email (my-hn-username@gmail) and I'll notify you when I launch.

#14"the top-level prior has 5 billion parameters and is trained on 512 V100s for 4 weeks" If they used on-demand AWS instances, it would cost about 1,342,623 USD to train the top-level prior. So much for reproducing this work.

My only question with OpenAI is whether they will forever-more take existing AI research, throw $100,000s of dollars at it in training, then take credit for inventing intelligence

#17The sinatra-like track is the most Blade Runner music I've ever heard.
Re: Jukebox
#18From the GitHub repo: "On a V100, it takes about 3 hrs to fully sample 20 seconds of music." That might make building off this project out of reach of the average engineer (you certainly cannot build that into a Colab notebook), although that necessary amount of compute is not surprising.
Isn’t that superhuman? I would guess that on average, it takes a professional more than 36 hours ((4×60÷20)×3) to make a 4-minute audio track with original music based on given lyrics.
I don’t really see the point of this comparison. Composing, arranging, and producing a song is not a benchmark you can profile against; musicians are not performing some kind of music compute that produces a set number of music units per hour.
Speaking from my own experience, I’ve had tracks that took months to complete, and I’ve had tracks that I got to probably 90% completion in under an hour. I would propose that there’s no meaningful definition of “superhuman” for creative efforts.

Got a 500 error as well...

Exactly! Reminded me of that scene in Blade Runner 2049 with the Elvis hologram (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je9BulG2dwc)
