this can produce some pretty disturbing, but interesting music using the prompt "energetic music, violin, voice, orchestra, piano, minimalism, john adams, nixon in china": https://www.stableaudio.com/1/share/953f079e-d704-4138-904c-...

It reminds me a little of breath of the wild guardian music

I think we still need the step where the AI learns what a high quality sound library sounds like and then applies the previously learned abilities by triggering sounds of that library via MIDI. That way you'd get perfect audio quality with the creativity of a musical AI.

I've always wished for something like that for image generation AI. It'd be much cooler/more interesting to watch AI try to draw/paint pictures with strokes rather than just magically iterate into a fully-rendered image. I dunno what kind of dataset or architecture you could possibly apply to accomplish this, but it would be very interesting.

I get what you’re saying, but if you watch Stable Diffusion do each step it’s at least kind of similar. If you keep the same seed but change a detail, often the broad “strokes” are completely the same.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Sadly not. Making something illegal has social effects, not just legal effects. I’ve grown tired of being verbally spit on for books3. One lovely fellow even said that he hoped my daughter grows up resenting me for it. It being legal is the only guard against that kind of thing. People will still be angry, but they won’t be so numerous. Right now everyone outside of AI almost universally despises the way AI is traine…

If everyone is unhappy with your rampant piracy, then perhaps that is a sign that you’re doing it wrong?

Perhaps. The reason I did it was because OpenAI was doing it, and it’s important for open source to be able to compete with ChatGPT. But if OpenAI’s actions are ruled illegal, then empirically open source wasn’t a persuasive enough reason to allow it.

Have you ever heard of an MVP?

That would be pertinent if it wasn't just a static web page with just text and some audio files to be played.

We've come full circle with the 90's and Internet Explorer. Well I guess this time the dominant browser is opensource so that's atleast something...

Can someone please create an animated GIF button for Chrome which says: "Best viewed with Google Chrome"?

Interestingly, Ed Newton-Rex, the person hired to build Stable Audio, quit shortly after it was released due to concerns around copyright and the training data being used. He’s since founded https://www.fairlytrained.org/ Reference: https://x.com/ednewtonrex

For generative models, if the model authors do not publish the architecture of their model; and, the model uses a transformation from text to another kind of media; you can assume that they have delegated some part of their model to a text encoder or similar feature which is trained on data that they do not have an express license to. Even for rightsholders with tens of millions to hundreds of millions of library ite…

> But anyway, even if it were all true, the only reason we are talking about diffusers, and the only reason we are paying attention to this author's work Fairly Trained, is because of someone training on data that was not expressly licensed.

Thanks for putting this into words. I'm of the same opinion and this is the best articulation I have so far.

Chrome isn't open source, chromium is. Best not to confuse the two.

Isn‘t that what suno.ai does?
