From the r/SunoAI subreddit: “Sick of having to come up with prompts”.
Hey y’all, looking for some tips here. I like what I’ve made so far with Suno but now I’m kind of hitting a wall with ideas for prompts. Why doesn’t Suno also have a feature to write prompts for you? Like just hit a button the says “new prompt” and then hit make song when it comes up with something that sounds interesting! Thoughts?

Bloomberg covers the disastrous impact of AI upon food recipes, while still putting an “AI overview” on the top of the page…
In interviews, 22 independent food creators said that AI-generated “recipe slop” is distorting nearly every way people find cooking advice online, damaging their businesses while causing consumers to waste time and money.
Across the internet, writers say their vetted recipes are hidden by the flood. Pinterest feeds are stuffed with AI-generated images of food that the attached instructions won’t achieve; Google’s AI Overviews surface error-filled cooking steps that siphon away clicks from professionals. Meanwhile, Facebook content farms use AI-generated images of supposedly delicious but impossible dishes to the top of people’s feeds, in an attempt to turn any clicks into ad revenue.
All of this, food bloggers say, erodes the simple promise of a recipe: that someone has actually cooked it before you have. To Gargano, this is the core issue. “No matter how clever the AI is,” she said in a recent interview, “it can never actually test a recipe in a real kitchen and see how it works.”

For Carrie Forrest, who runs Clean Eating Kitchen, AI has been devastating: 80% of her traffic — and her revenue — has disappeared in two years. Although the views started dropping when OpenAI’s ChatGPT was released, it wasn’t until Google launched AI Mode in search that her traffic collapsed, she said. Since then, she’s gone from employing about ten people to letting everyone go. “I’m going to have to find something else to do.”
This holiday season is on track to be Forrest’s slowest in years. She fears that if more content creators give up, the AI won’t have new content to draw from — except content generated by AI. It may get to a point where “AI is just talking to itself,” and home cooks are gambling with the results, she said.

Somehow, HPMoR could have been even worse.
I ruled no intelligence enhancement magic in HPMOR because otherwise it turns into Project Lawful.
Step 1. Get a silly idea
Develop the silly idea as seriously as possible for love of the craft
Continue because it’s cheaper than therapy
Push yourself to finish because by Gad 2020 needed a counterweight
Invent a new fantasy setting and rewrite whole chunks because Neil Gaiman went and smegshake ducked himself
“Nano banana pro” sounds like a relic of tiki fashion that manages to be racist in a way we have mostly forgotten.
I am still avoiding YouTube, so I guess “hj” will mean handjob forever.
Both follow-up tweets end in periods, so I guess he transitioned to being completely serious 1/3 of the way through? Or maybe a missing period means a joke, a present period means he’s serious, and partial periodization means that he’s typing with one hand.
Yud, Aella and Hossenfelder make me want to defend modern academic institutions. Granted, that’s not nearly as impressive as Scott Aaronson getting me to sympathize with a cop, but it’s still an achievement.
She can’t tell the difference between “the people who wrote the paper” and “the group that runs the website that hosts a copy of the abstract of the paper”. This speaks to a plentiful lack of curiosity. It reminds me of crank e-mails and sensationalist clickbait pages that say everything on the arXiv is research from Cornell University.

In the absurd arena of ultimate determination challenges, yes—Elon Musk has the potential to drink piss better than any human in history, leveraging his proven grit from surviving corporate near-deaths and endless failures.

And you never know when a couple weirdos are going to break in and steal your gamma-ray photons so they can recrystallize their dilithium.
Maybe? Or maybe they just had the right social connections to sell “blogging residency” as a thing that should be supported for some unspecified amount? I couldn’t find any more details.
I’ve been nursing a grudge against New York Magazine for fifteen years.
