I was listening to the New Year's Day concert by the Vienna philharmonic and wondered who one of the composers was so used a popular song recognition app. (I expected it would make some fuzzy match on the piece and give me the name + composer). To my amazement it did give the name and composer but as played by the Vienna philharmonic in 2005 in the same location. The orchestra does not have the same members as 19 years ago, nor was it the same conductor, so it seemed the piece was matched on the acoustics of the Musikverein where they were playing, which I found astonishing.

Video generators are cool as fuck and I refuse to pretend otherwise. You can tell a robot "make this look more Pixar" and it works. Even if what you feed in is a block of solid noise. Yeah yeah yeah, sometimes you get six-legged dogs who are walking both ways at once, but even those amusing failure cases exist in photorealistic forests pulled from thin air.

This is science fiction technology, and you're mad at it because of... copyright?

Knives are cool tech until you stab someone. People are less worried about the LLMs than they are about the stabby bits, like expropriation of others' work.

Yeah they sure seem worried about intellectual property in this specific context and literally nowhere else. Can't have the robot learn English from library books. That's stealin' knowledge.

We expect an artist-program to know what 'more Pixar' means without seeing any Pixar!
