  1. Today
  2. I understand where you are coming from. Ai is a very divisive subject, particularly due to YouTube etc being flooded with music generated artificially by people with no musical skills or knowledge. Most of my songs were originally created between 1980 - 1990, so everything was recorded by real singing and playing, and it has taken me a long time to accept that Ai could be a useful tool. It would be interesting to know how many professional studios use AI in some sort of way. However, at the end of the day, Ai should not be a substitute for real musical talent.
  3. I am a songwriter, and I would absolutely never use AI for songwriting, performance/recording or arrangement. Never! I absolutely abhor that idea. I compare (liken?) 'connecting' to an AI-song to hugging a doll. It could work, but I prefer someone who hugs me back, like music made and played by real people. Then what about drum machines?? 🤔 They've been around like forever. Hmmm. Since I am not a sound technician, chatgpt has taught me how to go about stuff in Presonus. Like, how to insert an equalizer into a channel, and how it works. Like a private tutor. My DAW Presonus Studio One 3(!!) has zero AI 😆 (Sometimes old is gold 🥰 ) I don't need creative suggestions from AI, since I am full of them, haha. Why outsource the fun part of making music? ❤️ Now, I send my mixdowns to a sound engineer for mastering before release to Spotify etc. It has never dawned on me to even ask him whether he uses any AI. I appreciate your question, because I will pass it on to him. Thank you! 💐 I hope you figure out where/how you want to share your music. Have you had a look at DistroKid?
  4. This is how a real roll looks like: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DepmRS_vMw8/?srtk=Y2Q0bWlnaGRjZnk3 (Paris, October 18th)
  5. Everyone thinks the viral video is real… little do they know, mine is the original! 141316166_1792379526649133.mp4
  6. 😂 With all these questions, you’ve turned a woman drinking coffee into a whole Netflix crime documentary. Hahaha 😂☕
  7. Yes. Since I'm a kid, we've always have had strikes in September/October, as far as I can remember
  8. So? Many AI videos are widely shared on social media. There are websites one can send the video to that would verify if it's AI. Of course AI uses these websites to improve their output. In this day and age a video being widely shared on social media might very well prove it's fake. Let's reason on this. You ever drive by a car crash, protest, building fire, or something out of the ordinary? What did you do? What did everyone around you do? Didn't they slow down to watch? Even if they drove by they still looked, didn't they? In this video the woman pays literally no attention to the riot behind her. It doesn't attract her attention. The noise of the protest are not enough to disrupt her tea time. The fumes and smoke from the protest don't bother her. It's as if she's completely unaware what is going on behind her. Is she deaf, blind, and lacking in sense of smell in addition to curiosity and morality? Who filmed the woman and why? The person filming the woman also was more focused on the woman than the much more interesting event going on in the background. And the camera is so still. Can you hold a camera that still for that long without the slightest shift or twitch? The scene seems staged, doesn't it? Planned. As if they knew the riot would unfold in the background. RT is Russia Today, the state run propaganda agency of Russia. What is RT's record of fact based journalism? The simplest answer is usually the correct answer. What makes the most sense - this woman lacks the curiosity that is common among all humans or the video is fake and created as a form of sarcastic commentary?
  9. Yesterday
  10. A massive social mobilization against the high cost of living has flared up this autumn, a season traditionally prone to protests as it aligns with the political return and annual budget debates. This time is different due to an unprecedented "convergence of struggles" uniting students, unions, and former Yellow Vests. Falling just six months before the presidential election, this movement reflects deep government rejection, culminating in a major political crisis fueled by violent urban riots.
  11. 143 year old Limoges Town Hall burns in one night The article continues: Students in France are demonstrating to demand greater higher-education funds and resources, amid the climbing costs of living, deteriorating school conditions and declining public services, according to NPR's Eleanor Beardsley, who was on the ground in Paris. About 550,000 people marched around the country on Saturday, Interior Minister Laurent Nunez told Reuters. While most of them protested peacefully, a small minority looted shops and attacked buildings, including the Limoges City Hall. The movement has since spread across Europe — from Belgium and Albania to Portugal and Italy — with some protests turning into violent clashes between students and law enforcement.
  12. Yes, it really could have been AI-generated. However, it was widely shared on social media. And yes, I truly hope that we will all have that same calmness during the Great Tribulation. 😄
  13. Monday, October 19 When you spread a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; and you will be happy, because they have nothing with which to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous ones.—Luke 14:13, 14. Brothers, you demonstrate that you are “hospitable” when you do good things for others, including those outside your circle of close friends. (1 Pet. 4:9) One reference work describes a hospitable man this way: “The door of his house—and of his heart—must be open to strangers.” Ask yourself, ‘What is my reputation when it comes to welcoming visitors?’ (Heb. 13:2, 16) A hospitable man shares what he can with visitors, including lowly ones of little means and hardworking servants, such as circuit overseers and visiting speakers.—Gen. 18:2-8;Prov. 3:27; Acts 16:15; Rom. 12:13. w24.11 21 ¶6
  14. What do you mean by Typical? Is it normal in France to have protest during this season?
  15. I've had a listen to your YouTube channel. I have considered YouTube but not sure about the adverts. I would be interested to know how much input AI plays in your compositions. Almost every daw comes with ai built in nowadays. For me personally, I'm ok with using ai to get the quality sounds, but I won't let it alter the song in any way unless I make the change myself.
  16. That is a possibility, especially if the source is social media and not a leg news outlet.
  17. I am on Spotify and other streaming services now. Artist name: undermal (only small letters). I have two songs out. On youtube as @undermalmusic I am in a process of transferring several songs from my harddisk recorder to a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), and then releasing it to streaming (after mastering)
  18. Remember the old commercials that said "Is it live or is it Memorex?" It's harder to tell now than it was then. 🤣
  19. This one was written for my beautiful amazing wife when we had been married for 4 years. We recently celebrated 40 years together. It is a true story. I wasn't looking to get married until she came along. Captured my heart.mp3
  20. Hopefully she is a sister as calm and collected as she appears. Able to go forward while the world around her crumbles. Heartbreaking the whole tragic scene
  21. Look at this heartbreaking video! The tourist is having her coffee peacefully while the conflict is happening behind her. The caption says, “When they only gave me a one-week visa...” 😥 RT_com-2111854258588959211-01.mp4

    • Modern references to creative days:
       
      *** w15 6/1 p. 5 How Science Affects Your Life ***
      The Bible fixes no duration for the six creative “days.” Instead, it opens the door for modern scientists to study them and assign accurate time spans to them. We know that the creative “days” were much longer than 24-hour days.
       
      *** g21 No. 3 p. 12 What the Bible Tells Us ***
      So each of the six creative “days” during which God prepared the earth for life and created life on it could represent extremely long periods of time.
       
      *** g 1/14 p. 12 Creation ***
      WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS God created the universe, including the earth, in the indefinite past—“in the beginning,” as Genesis 1:1 says. Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.
       
      *** lc pp. 26 Science and the Genesis Account ***
      A careful consideration of the Genesis account reveals that events starting during one “day” continued into one or more of the following “days.”

      We have our Circuit Assembly this weekend (with the Branch Rep), so I'll be rather scarce around here. I'm waiting to find out who the Rep is going to be.
       
      Well, actually it's Sunday. But I'm going to cheat and watch the streamed version on Saturday. (Don't tell anyone.)

      Do you think the pope has already been preached to personally? Or at least been sent a letter?

      Our Kingdom Hall is hosting 3 weeks of Elders schools starting tomorrow. 
       
      We organised some of the kids to make a welcome banner. The bros who were prepping today loved it. 
       
      our sister Cong had these carts made 
       
      We also have these to put up 
       
      And every elder and instructor (hopefully) will also get a keyring at the last day of their school.

       
      Can you tell we’re all excited? Gonna be long days (we’ve got to arrive by 6:15am) but I’m sure at the end it’ll all be worth it!

      Does anyone have a list of the first 24 songs from the organization? I promise im not gonna memorize them and randomly sing them to a coworker to being her back to her childhood 😏. I think at one point the song numbers changed, she told me about how she used to have to play ‘we are Jehovah’s witnesses’  (song 63) on the piano but left the organization when there were 24 songs. 
       
      side note i got her to agree to go to the memorial next year but the exchange was id have to go to her church once. I feel that is a fair trade.

      Last Tuesday i finally got to meet the people at my new congregation, and they were pretty warm and welcoming to me. It reminded me of how great is the unity that exists in this wonderful brotherhood.

      My wife recently had major surgery and the hospital has a home care nurse check on her once a week. We have had three different nurses and my wife has given each of them a contact card. 😁
