You don’t need a GPU. It’ll just be a bit slower.

There are a few.

Are apps available on macos. Not sure about other platforms.

Other than that a more complex approach is installing automatic1111 which is a web interface that runs locally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqXpAKVQDNU

Just had a little look at ^ this guy’s YouTube channel and he has guides to install stuff on windows too if that’s needed for ya.

Perhaps you already know this but while the simple minds version isn’t a cover, they didn’t write it.

It was written for them by a composer and a producer pair.

Thanks. That was precisely my point. The tools used to make this are irrelevant. It’s fucked up regardless.

Why does that matter in this context?

This is inarguably horrible but the use of AI seems irrelevant. You could make this same thing with any animation tool. It’s the idea that’s disgusting.

Do you think AI is mentioned because it makes the article seem more up to the minute and in keeping with current tech trends?

“A man drew a disgusting picture of a horrible event using pencils and paper this week.”

“Pencils and paper are so awful.”

Discord is so messy. If you come back after a few weeks or months, it’s difficult to get a handle on what’s been happening.

This is a shame. I’ll look into more robust hosting. How prohibitive a cost are we talking about roughly?

Is there anything we can do to help?

What is macos bad at?

I’ve just started learning to program.

Correct. Except, the poor won’t be the new rich because there are more poor than rich. Many, many more. Hence the idea that the way things currently are is unfair.

Take the money from the rich, give it to the poor and we will have something slightly closer to economic equality.

Just “Wings.” No “the.” Although maybe Paul will see this and it’ll annoy him a little. In which case, it’s “Paul MacHeartnay and the Wings.”

If people could comment more of their favourites that I should try if be much obliged. 🥹

How can I read this without subscribing?

I think it’s most likely to take the role of the commercial songwriters that write formulaic pop. The people that team up with folks like Ed Sheeran and Lewis Capaldi to squeeze an album out of them in time to fulfill their contracts.

The formulaic pop won’t be much different. The pop stars will be much the same with up to date fashion. The people at the label will make more money because there will be fewer people to pay.

Writing music as a commercial venture is already pretty icky in my mind. It’s sort of the artistic equivalent of learning pickup lines and using them on people rather than having an interesting conversation.

Music as art won’t die but jobs as commercial composers and songwriters will dwindle.

What is a DIY music format?

I’m beginning to get irritated.

I’ll move on.

I need to work as much as possible this week in order to have enough money to pay rent, fix my car, pay for pet insurance and try to save money to be able to buy a house so I don’t have to give most of my money to a stranger every month.

If I have a moment to make some music, I will. Probably sketching on the MPC live in the hope that I’ll have more time to finish a track in the future.

To hope 🥂
