Talented, but dumb as a box of hammers

Author, Perfecting Equilibrium: For a brief, shining moment Web1 democratized data. Then Web2 came along and made George Orwell look like an optimist. Now Web3 is Perfecting John Nash’s Information Equilibrium.
Jenny came over and told me 'bout Brad
He's such a hairy behemoth she said
But he's such a handsome guy
Here’s a look at Suno, the talented “AI” that generates original songs. The good news: it’s rather talented! The bad news: STILL dumb as a box of hammers, like that dude you knew in middle school who played guitar and thought he was Jack White. Nope! Watch Suno refuse to create a “Ziggy Stardust” style song because it uses a real artist’s name. Ummm, no. Ziggy was a character played by David Bowie, who was a character played by British rock star Davie Jones. And then Suno creates a Glam Rock style song and names it…Stardust. Despite the fact that it was in no way glam rock…Ugh.

Sunday, April 14 — About that time I accidentally spent all my money on lenses. And tripods. And art. Every month for four years and fourth months... A soldier and his pay are soon parted, everyone knows. And I was no different. But I’m probably the only soldier ever who blew all his money on Pentax lenses and woodblock prints.
