The first mission of the Church is to help people be attentive to the profound questions of life: those concerning our origin and our destiny, as well as those concerning the meaning of love and suffering. The logic of profit at all costs and the manipulation of information risk exerting undue pressure on people to conform to a lifestyle centred on the consumption of material goods, but our hearts are made to look upwards. #GeneralAudience

In an age dominated by technology, in which efficiency and profit often take precedence, it is so important that we continue to cultivate a spirit of contemplation and allow time and space for beauty. Such an attitude will greatly help humanity, especially young people, to discover the ability of art to uplift and reveal the depths of the human spirit and our openness to the divine. Contemplation presents a marvelous opportunity to encounter the God who is Beauty.

She might have something going on with that absolute stud Jude Law though (her brother in the movie)

Could have used a little more backstory on Jasper too. Scumbag, but he did have feelings for her

One thing it does feel like gen ai music is coming for is the world of samples as currently constituted… I can imagine the future of sample libraries being more for exploration of sounds that can be timbre transferred to play whatever notes you want

Fooling around with @wavtoolofficial and @splice today, the ai assistant is such an accelerator. I don’t have to wade through infinite menus or do tedious manual stuff, I just ask it to (for example) automatically filter out any midi note shorter than a 16th note, and it’s done

Other features I know immediately I would want: ability to sample any audio/convert to midi. i want to search the @splice library for sounds, then convert them to midi, and have them play some midi notes I’ve already set up

Martin Scorsese’s new Chanel ad, featuring Timothée Chalamet, takes more creative risks than most films I’ve seen lately.

Incredibly proud of Justin, who is wearing my shirt in this photo (I am Chief Fashion Officer), and incredibly excited to be an investor in @layer_financial

The oft-cited example of the application of fully AI-generated music is, like, a custom birthday song. A corollary is musical comedy, done well and cheaply (R&B groove about dumping a latte on my dog's head). But I sense a ceiling not too far above. udio.com/songs/cSJprYpAfFaJi…

The only way to get this quality of output is to have the training data for it… which a company founded five months ago won’t have access to, unless it does unethical stuff musicbusinessworldwide.com/y…

Horrible opinion, and also troubling to see people in the replies claiming that the prose is bad??? Here's the description of Frodo coming within view of Mordor: "Here nothing lived, not even the leprous growths that feed on rottenness."
I think it's time to tell the truth: Lord of the Rings is kinda shit.

Description of a happier region of Middle Earth: "Stars were shining already in lakes between shores of cloud". Lovely little metaphor!

A very groovy groove that took legitimately like three minutes to make with @splice’s AI-powered Create product, in which every three-minute block I invest seems to translate directly to grooves
