The Rise of AI in Crypto: A Look at Top Projects by Ecosystem

The Rise of AI in Crypto: A Look at Hyped Projects by Ecosystem

The intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cryptocurrency is a bustling landscape teeming with innovative ideas. AI projects are utilizing blockchain technology to create decentralized marketplaces for data, training models, and AI computation. This article explores some of the most hyped projects within the AI in crypto space, categorized by their primary ecosystem, and explores potential future players in the L1 blockchain space.

Ethereum-Based AI Projects:

Fetch.ai (FET): Focuses on building a decentralized machine learning network powered by autonomous economic agents.

Ocean Protocol (OCEAN): Creates a decentralized marketplace for data sharing.

SingularityNET (AGI): Aims to be a global marketplace for AI services and tools.

Numerai (NMR): Specializes in building a decentralized hedge fund powered by artificial intelligence.

iExec RLC (RLC): Provides a decentralized cloud computing platform for running AI applications.

Important Note:

While the coins listed above represent some of the hyped AI projects in crypto, it’s crucial to conduct thorough research before investing in any cryptocurrency. The AI in crypto space is still evolving, and many projects remain in their early stages of development. Consider the project’s team, technology roadmap, and community engagement before making any investment decisions.

The Future of AI in Crypto:

The integration of AI and blockchain holds immense potential for the future of data management, machine learning development, and financial services. As these technologies converge, we can expect to see further innovation and disruption across various industries. However, navigating the hype and identifying truly groundbreaking projects requires careful research and a cautious investment approach.

The Coprophagic AI crisis

I'm on tour with my new, nationally bestselling novel The Bezzle! Catch me in TORONTO on Mar 22, then with LAURA POITRAS in NYC on Mar 24, then Anaheim, and more!

A key requirement for being a science fiction writer without losing your mind is the ability to distinguish between science fiction (futuristic thought experiments) and predictions. SF writers who lack this trait come to fancy themselves fortune-tellers who SEE! THE! FUTURE!

The thing is, sf writers cheat. We palm cards in order to set up pulp adventure stories that let us indulge our thought experiments. These palmed cards – say, faster-than-light drives or time-machines – are narrative devices, not scientifically grounded proposals.

Historically, the fact that some people – both writers and readers – couldn't tell the difference wasn't all that important, because people who fell prey to the sf-as-prophecy delusion didn't have the power to re-orient our society around their mistaken beliefs. But with the rise and rise of sf-obsessed tech billionaires who keep trying to invent the torment nexus, sf writers are starting to be more vocal about distinguishing between our made-up funny stories and predictions (AKA "cyberpunk is a warning, not a suggestion"):

https://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2023/11/dont-create-the-torment-nexus.html

In that spirit, I'd like to point to how one of sf's most frequently palmed cards has become a commonplace of the AI crowd. That sleight of hand is: "add enough compute and the computer will wake up." This is a shopworn cliche of sf, the idea that once a computer matches the human brain for "complexity" or "power" (or some other simple-seeming but profoundly nebulous metric), the computer will become conscious. Think of "Mike" in Heinlein's *The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moon_Is_a_Harsh_Mistress#Plot

For people inflating the current AI hype bubble, this idea that making the AI "more powerful" will correct its defects is key. Whenever an AI "hallucinates" in a way that seems to disqualify it from the high-value applications that justify the torrent of investment in the field, boosters say, "Sure, the AI isn't good enough…yet. But once we shovel an order of magnitude more training data into the hopper, we'll solve that, because (as everyone knows) making the computer 'more powerful' solves the AI problem":

https://locusmag.com/2023/12/commentary-cory-doctorow-what-kind-of-bubble-is-ai/

As the lawyers say, this "cites facts not in evidence." But let's stipulate that it's true for a moment. If all we need to make the AI better is more training data, is that something we can count on? Consider the problem of "botshit," Andre Spicer and co's very useful coinage describing "inaccurate or fabricated content" shat out at scale by AIs:

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4678265

"Botshit" was coined last December, but the internet is already drowning in it. Desperate people, confronted with an economy modeled on a high-speed game of musical chairs in which the opportunities for a decent livelihood grow ever scarcer, are being scammed into generating mountains of botshit in the hopes of securing the elusive "passive income":

https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/15/passive-income-brainworms/#four-hour-work-week

Botshit can be produced at a scale and velocity that beggars the imagination. Consider that Amazon has had to cap the number of self-published "books" an author can submit to a mere three books per day:

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/sep/20/amazon-restricts-authors-from-self-publishing-more-than-three-books-a-day-after-ai-concerns

As the web becomes an anaerobic lagoon for botshit, the quantum of human-generated "content" in any internet core sample is dwindling to homeopathic levels. Even sources considered to be nominally high-quality, from Cnet articles to legal briefs, are contaminated with botshit:

https://theconversation.com/ai-is-creating-fake-legal-cases-and-making-its-way-into-real-courtrooms-with-disastrous-results-225080

Ironically, AI companies are setting themselves up for this problem. Google and Microsoft's full-court press for "AI powered search" imagines a future for the web in which search-engines stop returning links to web-pages, and instead summarize their content. The question is, why the fuck would anyone write the web if the only "person" who can find what they write is an AI's crawler, which ingests the writing for its own training, but has no interest in steering readers to see what you've written? If AI search ever becomes a thing, the open web will become an AI CAFO and search crawlers will increasingly end up imbibing the contents of its manure lagoon.

This problem has been a long time coming. Just over a year ago, Jathan Sadowski coined the term "Habsburg AI" to describe a model trained on the output of another model:

https://twitter.com/jathansadowski/status/1625245803211272194

There's a certain intuitive case for this being a bad idea, akin to feeding cows a slurry made of the diseased brains of other cows:

https://www.cdc.gov/prions/bse/index.html

But "The Curse of Recursion: Training on Generated Data Makes Models Forget," a recent paper, goes beyond the ick factor of AI that is fed on botshit and delves into the mathematical consequences of AI coprophagia:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.17493

Co-author Ross Anderson summarizes the finding neatly: "using model-generated content in training causes irreversible defects":

https://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2023/06/06/will-gpt-models-choke-on-their-own-exhaust/

Which is all to say: even if you accept the mystical proposition that more training data "solves" the AI problems that constitute total unsuitability for high-value applications that justify the trillions in valuation analysts are touting, that training data is going to be ever-more elusive.

What's more, while the proposition that "more training data will linearly improve the quality of AI predictions" is a mere article of faith, "training an AI on the output of another AI makes it exponentially worse" is a matter of fact.

Hard to pick a favorite quote:

You see, while hype is nice, it's only nice in small bursts for practitioners. We have a few key things that a grifter does not have, such as job stability, genuine friendships, and souls. What we do not have is the ability to trivially switch fields the moment the gold rush is over, due to the sad fact that we actually need to study things and build experience. Grifters, on the other hand, wield the omnitool that they self-aggrandizingly call 'politics'. That is to say, it turns out that the core competency of smiling and promising people things that you can't actually deliver is highly transferable.

The only thing you should be doing is improving your operations and culture, and that will give you the ability to use AI if it ever becomes relevant. Everyone is talking about Retrieval Augmented Generation, but most companies don't actually have any internal documentation worth retrieving. Fix. Your. Shit.

Yes, someone needs to figure out what the implications of quantum computing are for cryptography, but I guarantee you that it is not Synergy Greg, who does not have any skill that you can identify other than talking very fast and increasing headcount. Synergy Greg should be not be consulted on any important matters, ranging from machine learning operations to tying shoelaces quickly. The last time I spoke to one of the many avatars of Synergy Greg, he insisted that I should invest most of my money into a cryptocurrency called Monero, because "most of these coins are going to zero but the one is going to one". This is the face of corporate AI. Behold its ghastly visage and balk, for it has eyes bloodshot as a demon and is pretending to enjoy cigars.

[yuseirra]

I decided to relisten to Mephisto and something clicked, atleast a theory.

I agree that he wishes for someone to outshine Ai, part of me wonders if the reason why the wish seemingly didn't come true is because it had to do with the twins. They were reincarnated to pursue their dreams, but maybe also for Hikaru's wish that hasn't happened yet.

Ruby is stated so many times she's not Ai in the manga. its like they, Hikaru and Nino, expect an exact replica of her. Ruby is indeed way more emotional and shares more commonality with her father, especially in terms of mentality in how they love in their obsession/possession. But, people flash that she gives off the aura like Ai, looks like Ai at times when she is not trying.

Maybe thats why Hikaru looked hopeful for a moment, the white hoshigan. He saw potential for a split second.

But I could also be very off the mark or its too simple.

We have the HKAI explanation, but we still need Nino's motive for being involved in this. Many speculate that they want to snuff the light that is outshining Ai, which I can believe but I think there is possibly more to it. I apologize if I repeated anything you analyzed ^^

Okay, I think I get what you mean! I've been staring at this ask a little, I don't think it's written in a way that's hard to comprehend, but for some reason, it's taking me longer than it's supposed to.

so, what you mean is that 1. hikaru's wish (has to do with finding someone that outshines Ai) could have been hindered due to the twin's existence (for reasons unknown for now)

and 2. that they want Ruby to be an exact replica of Ai so that she can replace her? That's why you think he looked hopeful?

Mhm, could be! I was trying to coin how those thoughts could relate to Mephisto's lyrics earlier but it's your thoughts from the manga, right?

I wish I had more to bring to the table on my end regarding these ideas, but I don't consider myself a theorist in general. While I come up with some sometimes when I see some plot points that spark my interests, I could only talk about the things I'm really invested and passionate about. I usually just follow the plot for all the other things, so I'm probably not the best person to send an analysis to if you wish for a discussion. All I could say for now for these at the moment is "Oh, interesting! Could be so!".. I don't have so much to add on.

you must have read one of my posts earlier, right? I was so EXCITED when I wrote those! You can always come up with different ideas compared to mine, too~ I'm just really hyped from the possibility of having picked up something I previously haven't! Hope you have a nice day~

+Oh and about nino.. I was thinking maybe kamiki and her share the same goal or if he needs her help with it. if he wants to revive Ai.. which I think is a possibility with the songs expressing that sort of desire, nino must also have some guilt for having said harsh things to Ai. Didn't nino tell Ai to just die already? Then she could feel a responsibility for Ai's death too, no? If Kamiki is working to bring Ai back, I think she'd also support that sort of wish. Murdering the stars doesn't seem like the end goal.. it doesn't really accomplish anything or make things better. I say they're working for something more "constructive". If someone wants Ai back no matter what extreme measures there is to take, I bet it'd be Kamiki and Nino.

Why Memecoins Keep Thriving Despite Their Minimal Value

In the world of crypto, memecoins stand out as a fascinating and often confusing phenomenon. Despite their minimal basic value and the skepticism they face, these digital tokens continue to emerge and capture the attention of investors. To understand why memecoins persist and thrive, we need to explore several key factors that contribute to their success.

Community and Celebrity Support 

Another significant factor is the role of community support. Memecoins like SHIB and PEPE have shown how a dedicated community can drive a token’s success. The enthusiasm and backing from these communities can elevate a memecoin’s value, sometimes overshadowing its lack of practical use. However, this also means that investing in memecoins involves high risk, as not all tokens will gain similar support or achieve notable success.

The rise of celebrity-endorsed memecoins is another trend worth noting. These tokens often benefit from the star power of celebrities, which can generate initial hype and attract investors. Not only professional crypto investors can influence the community’s interest in memecoins; a celebrity from outside the crypto sphere or a typical social event can also significantly boost the attention these tokens receive. 

A prime example of this is Elon Musk’s involvement with Dogecoin. In 2021, Musk’s tweets about Dogecoin had a remarkable impact, turning the crypto into one of the most talked-about digital currencies on the market. Originally developed as a joke, Dogecoin saw a surge in popularity due to its meme-inspired branding and the rally fueled by Musk’s social media influence. 

This demonstrates how external figures and events can create substantial waves in the memecoin space, far beyond the actions of dedicated crypto traders. While this can lead to short-term gains, it also makes them vulnerable to scams and speculative bubbles. Investors should approach celebrity-backed memecoins with caution and consider more established tokens to reduce risk.

The Speculative Nature and Ease of Creation

New tokens are frequently introduced, each promising unique opportunities. This environment can attract investors seeking high-risk, high-reward prospects. The rapid creation of memecoins reflects a market driven by excitement and anticipation, where the potential for significant gains can overshadow underlying fundamentals.

The ease of creating memecoins also contributes to their proliferation. Unlike more complex blockchain projects that require extensive resources, memecoins can be launched with relatively little effort. This simplicity, combined with the allure of quick financial gains, encourages a steady flow of new tokens into the market. The promise of rapid wealth accumulation appeals to those eager to test their luck in the crypto space.

The Power of Hype and Airdrops

Hype plays a crucial role in the success of memecoins. Tokens like WIF, MOTHER, and DADDY, along with newer entries like BUSAI on the Solana blockchain, demonstrate how public enthusiasm can drive a coin’s value. 

BUSAI, in particular, stands out as an example of how memecoins can combine innovative concepts like AI integration with meme culture to capture investor interest. The excitement and speculative nature surrounding these tokens can lead to dramatic price movements, making them an attractive and a good investment opportunity. Success with memecoins largely depends on navigating this hype and identifying promising projects amidst the noise.

Many memecoins offer free tokens, called airdrops, to attract new investors. People are often interested in these events, so this can encourage them to join the memecoin community. Even if a token lacks substantial value, the initial free distribution can generate significant interest and investment. This strategy leverages human psychology, where the promise of free money serves as a powerful motivator.

While memecoins often start as jokes or ironic projects, they can evolve into serious business ventures. Despite their origins, these projects can attract significant investment and create considerable value, highlighting the complex dynamics of the crypto market.

FANDOMS

Final Tumblr post for my semester

For the final topic, we will be talking about fandoms. Pretty sure everyone has heard about it and maybe some of us are part of a fandoms. Maybe some you might be interested in a certain gaming channel, and you constantly post about them or reposting their contents. That is considered as fandom. Maybe some of you are die-hard fans of Taylor Swift and you become a part of her fandom which is called Swifties. These are just the surface level understanding of what a fandom actually is. In today’s post, we will be going in details to understand what a fandom is and what it means to be a fandom and how does that affect someone’s self-value.

Before we begin, let us understand the definition of fandom. According to Zhao, Yang and Tan (2023), fandom is star-struck admirers initially created the fandom as an unplanned entertainment community, but it has since grown into a structured and niche group of interests. Basically, it is a group created by the community with one topic at the center. For example, if it is about football, the fandom will be about football. It can stem out to which football team type of fandom. Fandom can be about anything. From influencers, artists, famous individuals, pets etc. Fandom its not a new thing to humans. It existed way back in the 1800s. According to Seagriff (2023), Communities started holding events and get-togethers where people could connect as fandom continued to develop into other fields of interest. In the 1930s, the science fiction community took over, establishing groups in every city and even coining their own vocabulary, or "fanspeak." Since 1939, the World Science Fiction Convention has been held annually. Like humans, fandoms also evolve. From one topic to another and it gets interesting as it goes into deeper detail. This good for the community as it brings people of the same interest together. Conventions such as comic-con bring people together and allowing them to meet new people of the same interest while also have sharing sessions with everyone else in the convention.

Now that the internet exists, fandoms too has changed by the internet. You might think of the change in a bad way but instead it was a change in a good way. People around the world can connect with each other with internet applications such as social media, forums and fan sites. Fan culture grew in popularity along with the internet's widespread usage. You might just look up your favourite band or TV show online and discover a community of people who share your interests. Fans quickly jumped on websites like LiveJournal to post and create communities, ushering in an era of blogs and forums (Hanai & Trikosho, 2024). With the online fandom communities, that became the foundation where fan activities are born. Examples of fan activities include fan fiction, fan arts and even role-play. Generally, it is a fun idea by the community so that they could engage and have with each other without having to be there physically. In a sense, it does promote inclusivity inside the fandoms. The way these people communicate with each other is with the help of social media and the help of AI. People with the same interest will have similar algorithm to ensure the contents that they see is the contents that they have interest in. Applications like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X etc they all have a different purpose for different fandoms. That is how online fandoms expand and have more reach for other people in the digital community.

Next, what exactly is the impact of fandoms on mainstream culture? According to Yellowbrick (2023), the power of fandom culture to mould and impact popular media is among its most important features. Fan communities have the ability to generate excitement, build hype around a new release, and even influence the creative choices made by game developers, authors, and filmmakers. Fandoms have the power to make something, or someone go viral. With the large amount of people in a fandom, it is possible for a fandom to help increase the popularity of a certain subject. Fandoms also have their benefits for personal value. For example, when someone is a part of a fandom. It gives them a sense of belonging, allowing them to feel like they are a part of something. Since a fandom is a community group of people with the same interest, you can freely express what you feel without the worry of being judged. This helps with mental health and even provide emotional support. When it comes to the industry. A fandom could influence an industry of any sorts. When a huge amount of number of fans requests for something from the industry, it gives pressure for the industry to create something special for the fandom. This act of service by the industry is called fan service. Where the power of fandom could directly influence the industry.

In conclusion, fandom is more than just being part of a group in the community. It has existed way back in the 1800s and with the existence of internet the fandom also evolve to adapt with online community and its direct impact on the industry and towards individuals. Fandom is important in the community, it helps to provide a safe space for like minded individuals and it also helps with individuals to make new friends and share the experience with other people.

Okay so obviously Kaiju cults are a thing in the Pacific Rim world, but I'm wondering if there wouldn't be "normal" cults as well? Like, do you think there was some kind of... general cult boom?

First of all, I'm sorry I didn't answer this sooner; I started writing this and then saved it as a draft, and totally forgot about it. I really hope this isn't too late!

So, people in the world of Pacific Rim are living through times that would strike many as apocalyptic. Even if they aren't directly impacted by kaiju, they'd be aware of what they were and what they were doing. Additionally, many people would be economically impacted by everything from iron becoming far scarcer (much of it being redirected to create jaegers; then the wall), plus any product shipped overseas skyrocketing in prices due to massively inflated insurance rates on cargo ships.

Kaiju would create such a seismic shift in everything from people's comprehension of the universe and their place within it to their own personal economic circumstances that the world would be ripe for a general cult boom.

Cults and sketchy movements centered around making money and getting your ideal life would thrive. You'd find a number of get-rich-quick scams promising the secrets of wealth and success if you just follow these ancient secrets that Jesus and all the wise philosophers were toooootally talking about; you just gotta pay money for the books, instructional videos, seminars, whatever.

Just as they are in the real world, a lot of people would be into stuff like manifestation, the Law of Attraction, and the Law of Assumption, which are marketed as personal empowerment, but actually sell victim blaming, and in the case of the Law of Assumption, solipsism. You'd find a number of people claiming that nobody actually dies in kaiju attacks unless you choose to believe that kaiju are real and people are getting killed.

You'd also see a rise of activity within any group with any kind of opinion on the apocalypse whatsoever. In real life, Evangelical Christianity and New Age have been rising in popularity because both of them are very good at preying on the emotionally vulnerable in seemingly-apocalyptic times. (Despite their hatred for each other, these two movements are basically two sides of the same toxic coin; EG, both are millennialist, both have a conspiratorial worldview, both are heavily influenced by New Thought, and both are bent on global assimilation.) It's not hard to imagine we'd see something similar in the Pacific Rim universe.

You'd also likely see cultlike movements around new technological innovations touted as means to solve the problems created by kaiju, similar to how cryptocurrency and so-called AI have been touted as means to solve a gazillion problems they aren't actually capable of solving, and have true believers swept up in a bunch of unjustified hype. Given the massive focus jaegers have in this world, it could happen that there's a movement of people who see jaegers as the ultimate future in civil and military defense. These people would be in favor of the kind of military/police state dystopia we see in Pacific Rim: Uprising.

You might also see cultlike adoration of some wealthy yet sketchy tech figure who promises solutions to the kaiju problem, similar to how Elon Musk has a cultlike following.

Like basically, if people in the Pacific Rim universe act anything like people do in the real world, there'd be all kinds of cults pop up, with varying degrees of relation to kaiju and jaegers.

the other thing about TESCREAL is that i'm not really convinced that it actually affects the world that much

like the individuals in the "TESCREAL sphere", Musk and Thiel and everybody, certainly have affected the world, but like... it's not like suddenly cryotics is the new hotness. musk talked about going to mars and then he became obsessed with Twitter and Posting. the company thiel was using for his blood transfusions shut down. MIRI's funding is in the tens of millions, which isn't nothing, but that's a percent of a percent of apple's revenue. the closest is the AI hype, but even non-TESCREAL people are hyping that because

it's become the Next Big Thing like blockchain shit or NFTs

unlike blockchain shit or NFTs, you can easily describe things it can do that you couldn't do at all before to the average person. "you type in a character and it draws them for you!"

also oh my god while looking shit up for this i found the funniest quote

Combining complex ideologies into such a “bundle” might seem to be dangerously reductive. However, as information warfare increasingly seeks to bifurcate the world into Eurasian vs. Atlanticist spheres, traditionalist vs. “woke,” fiat vs. hard currency, it’s difficult not to see the TESCREAL ideologies as integral to the Eurasianist worldview. I also independently identified these overlaps over the last few years, and thanks to philosopher Émile Torres and Dr. Gebru who together coined the TESCREAL acronym, we now have a shorthand for describing the phenomenon. As you encounter these ideologies in the wild, you might use the TESCREAL lens, and its alignment with Eurasianism and Putin’s agenda, to evaluate them, and ask whether they tend to undermine or enhance the project of liberal democracy.

WHAT DOES ANY OF THIS SHIT MEAN

[toesucker416]

Chairman Geetu... kinda sucks

We were saying this a year ago, and with one year of hindsight, we can say it even louder. Her team is mediocre, she sends them out in a weird order, and in general, she fails to live up to the hype of the "Top Champion". So, let's build her a better team, with one goal in mind: we don't just make this fight harder. We make it completely alien.

First, give Geetu an AI rework that lets her switch out of disadvantageous matchups. That way, players have to play around these switches.

Now, the team itself

We'll be doing the obvious and making Glimmora her lead. Not only that, but we'll be borrowing some notes from Arven and giving her Stealth Rocks.

Glimmora level 65

Ability: Toxic Debris

Item: Black Sludge

Stealth Rocks

Earth Power

Mortal Spin

Power Gem

Did I forget to mention all her pokemon have items? Whoopsies.

Opening on a pokemon you've never seen before would immediately give the fight a unique feeling, especially when you see that item. Not only that, but hazards will add a unique element of challenge, while also effectively teaching new players about a mechanic that's never utilized to its fullest in the base games, but will be especially useful in this fight.

Next up, Gholdengo. Gholdengo requires you to correct 1000 gimmighoul coins to evolve it. To players who have gotten it, it will speak to the fact that Geetu used to do things. To players who haven't, it keeps the alien feeling going.

Gholdengo level 65

Ability: i forgor the name

Item: Choice Specs

Make it Rain

Shadow Ball

Gholdengo continues the lesson on hazards by blocking your own, as well as your attempts to remove hazards.

Next up, let's get some pokemon you actually can't get in here. Her third pokemon is the Charcadet evolution from the other version, either an Armarouge with a Weakness Policy, or a Ceruledge with a Focus Sash. Both have Weak Armor.

Her fourth pokemon is a pseudo-legend, also being one you can't get (Salamence in Scarlet, Hydreigon in Violet). This pokemon has a Life Orb.

Fifth will be Volcarona, because it's one of two pokemon that will have a paradox form regardless of version, and also because it's my favorite. You could swap this out for Anihilape or something if it feels right.

Volcarona level 67

Item: Heavy Duty Boots

Ability: Swarm

Bug Buzz

Quiver Dance

Energy Ball

Fire Blast

Finally, her Ace, although not really because I'll get to that in a second, Kinggambit. Keep it mostly the same but give it leftovers.

Now, the problem with this is, her AI could switch in Kinggambit at any time. How do we stop this? Answer: we don't. Every one of her pokemon comes loaded with a unique Terra type, and she'll terrastalize on the last one left.

I feel like this team has the potential to deliver on the promise of the Top Champion, although admittedly, the items are a little bit like something out of a mod. Idk I just don't think any quest line's climax should involve gogoat

Billboard USA Exclusion Zone Episode 9 (04/22/2023)

Hello there and welcome to my weekly show where I look at the new debuts from the Billboard Global Excluding US chart. Yes I didn't do this last week. Part of it because I had final thesis to revise. But also I didn't feel it with most of the debuts and the less I said about Melanie Martinez...the better.

Anyways this week is definitely more interesting than last week because we have three j-pop songs and one of them came from the most hyped anime this season Oshi no Ko. We also have some k-pop too and even some surprises. Let's do this.

-----------------------------------------------------

16. "People Pt. 2" by Agust D ft. IU

Another day, another new solo song from a BTS member. Now we get Agust D who usually do the rap portion of a lot of BTS songs with this being another rap song. This reminded me of early 2010's rap song where you have a singer doing the hook and it just reminded me that Airplanes is now could be considered as retro...next.

23. "Search & Rescue" by Drake

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (this is shit)

30. "I AM" by IVE

I love a lot of IVE songs and I will say that After Like has the best obvious sampling last year. Which is why it's kinda disappointing that this didn't clicked with me as much as it did. The production is tiring and it's basically "I'm back bitch" singles.

80. "Un Finde Crossover #2" by Ke personajes X Big One X FMK

I was vibing to this...then the farty synth and the laser beam sound appeared.

83. "Baby Don't Hurt Me" by David Guetta, Anne-Marie & Coi Leray

This is just sad now. Like I think this song that made me realized that maybe AI music isn't so bad after all when anything David Guetta made in 2022-23 sounds like AI generated mush.

102. "Mera Na" by Sidhu Moose Wala, Burna Boy & Steel Banglez

First and foremose Rest In Peace Sidhu Moose Wala. Secondly this song is just a well produced Punjabi rap and the addition of Burna Boy here is needed.

135. "Idol" by Yoasobi

And here it is. The song that might be the center piece of Oshi no Ko. Anime series based on critically acclaimed manga made by the same guy that did Kaguya-sama. Now even though I haven't watched the anime, I have been spoiled by the manga and well the reason why I swelled up while listening to the song while reading the lyrics...yeah this song is something special.

141. "Kizuna no Kiseki" by MAN WITH A MISSION x milet

Oh hi it's another Demon Slayer song but tbh might be the worst one imo. Yeah this song is great but it's typical for shounen anime to have banger OP at this point and nothing could beat Gurenge.

146. "Never Felt So Alone" by Labrinth (uncredited: Billie Eilish)

One of my favorite content creators Spectrum Pulse coined a term "Riverdale-core" to describe songs with bombast but no substance tackling social issues but with the gaudiness of a vaudville villain. Well for this song I wanna coined a term "Euphoria-core" which is lowkey mostly RnB song with strings and mechanical production.

154. "Zero" by NewJeans

Now I am interested what NewJeans will follow up after the big success of Ditto and OMG. And seems like they are making...a drum and bass song about Coke Zero....okay then.

162. "Chanel" by Becky G & Peso Pluma

Now we will see more impact next week, but what a year it is for Mexican music. Seems like the sound of the trumpet plus that bassline is caught on (tbh idk what to say at this point like after listening to Idol with subs on I'm a jsdhjkdsh)

178. "LADY" by Kenshi Yonezu

WHY IS THERE TWO COKE COMMERCIAL SONGS???

I highly recommend everyone to listen to these songs.

[deepdreamnights]

I was saying this was going to be the situation back when the panic kicked off. The realities of the technology set in an it turns out that once again the fears and hype were two sides of the same coin.

The same results cherrypicking, the same predictions for worker replacement, the same misrepresentation of the tech, its limitations, and its applications.

The tech is progressing, so some of the above issues might be eliminated sooner than later, but if the person in the chair doesn't have the kind of soft skills that come with training and practice, they're going to be in the same boat.

And along the same lines, if one doesn't know what AI can do or how it works, they're not going to be able to evaluate whether someone can actually use the tech in a given situation or not.

The aesthetics simulators make great aesthetic gloss (shocking),

Person replacer? Nope. Semi-Reliable Dunning-Kruger detector? Certainly.

Generative AI is most effective when it's making parts. It's a force multiplier and a time-saver, not a person-replacer. Every "this will make artists obsolete", no matter who said it, was always a lie. It was just a lie both hypemen and doomsayers could use in equal measure, pumping OpenAI's stock either way.

Beyond that, it's a tool, like any other.

This machine kills AI

AI detection is the big area for scammery now, both large and small.

On the small end, you see stuff like the above AO3 bot scam. There's no real tech behind it, and the concern that it'd be used to scrape more material is rather silly. A webspider would do the job far more efficiently. The site it's taking you to is more likely a mass of trackers and malware scripts.

But pay attention to the wording used:

"call out all AI using cheaters" is very telling language. For a scam to work, the victim has to want something, and they've identified the very common want of an opportunity to unleash cruelty on a 'deserving' target without fear of retaliation.

I have anon asks turned off for a reason.

Here's the truth of it: if there's an AI written fic on AO3 that hasn't been edited enough to count as the human author's work, then it's going to suck, and that's enough reason to not recommend it. If the answer to "why do I want to know if this is AI?" is "so I can attack the person if it is" then you need to reconsider your motivations.

The grand irony is that the fervently anti-AI crowd isn't fighting the phenomenon, they're 100% a part of it.

Because AI-hype and anti-AI paranoia are two sides of the same coin.

A realistic understanding of the situation with functional knowledge of how the technology actually works greatly reduces both the terror generative AI produces, at the same time it deflates the kind of deceptive promises that pump the company stock.

Programs that promise to detect AI and those that promise to poison datasets don't need to actually work to look promising enough to draw investor cash or a buyout, and are the new wild west of AI snakeoil.

Glaze and Nightshade are ineffective for multiple reasons and Artshield only works because AI scrapers don't want to scrape their own gens to reduce recursive dataset issues, and it uses stable diffusion to put a stable diffusion watermark on the picture (ironically making it so that it triggers AI detectors as AI). In all cases, traditional watermarks and/or signatures are more effective at dissuading random scraping.

So images can be detected as AI... provided they haven't been modified or edited enough that the AI-generator's own watermark is erased. If that hasn't happened, you don't need fancy detectors, there's free utilities to do that (I'm sure). If it has been edited, then you're back to reading tea leaves.

But there's no marking text in the same way. Some efforts have been made to make the programs embed word-patterns that can be used as a watermark, but a few editing passes or even a run through a second 'reword this better' AI and that's gone.

But there's always someone out there to sell a detector if someone wants to find something bad enough. Drugs, bombs, water, or "cheaters" -

- so long as you don't mind buying a dowsing rod.

Quick PSA, if you get one of those "Work scanned, AI use detected" comments on AO3, just mark them as spam.

Some moron apparently built a bot to annoy or prank hundreds of authors.

There is no scanning process, your work doesn't actually resemble AI writing, it's all bullshit. Mark the comment as spam (on AO3, not the email notification you got about the comment!) and don't let it get to you.
