"Secret Sin" is excellent 80's synth pop, thanks for sharing

Slightly unrelated but came across a quote by Epictetus

Don't just say you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better, to be a more discriminating and reflective person. Books are the training weights of the mind. They are very helpful, but it would be a bad mistake to suppose that one has made progress simply by having internalized their contents.

And another big just found funny

If anyone tells you that a certain person speaks ill of you, do not make excuses about what is said of you but answer, "He was ignorant of my other faults, else he would not have mentioned these alone.

AI will, slowly, kill creativity embedded in humans as education today has smothered uniqueness.

Ply with fire....

If you had any creativity yourself, you'd know how silly that sounds. AI is a tool. It will enhance creativity, not limit it.

Thank you Dark Lord!

What I wrote and your reply! ( A grand slap in the face). Reminded me what those who wrote about those who alarmed what writing would do to our future if we forgot to memorize. Much appreciated 👍.

It's true that AI allows the uncreative to simulate creativity. It will replace the stuff that uncreative hacks produce en masse. But it will enhance the creative power of the genuinely creative.

Look at me. I've written and recorded nearly as many original songs in the last three months as I did in the last 25 years. And the songs are arguably BETTER, and in some cases, more original.

I apologize...if not clear but i am writing in my 4th. language. Icelandic, Norwegian, Danish, English, Swedish, German...

No matter, much appreciation for your outstanding works!

Thank you, Vox. Those, alone, were worth the subscription. I will continue to pray for God's Providence: that the storm is comin' round.

Merci. The objective is to keep it interesting and informative for the free subscribers and add value for those who support the site with the paid subscriptions.

The country one is my favorite by far. Sounds absolutely real!

My eyes have been opened to AI music thanks to this. These songs are impressive and have given me inspiration to try this out. I've never been a huge fan of synthpop, but I don't hate it either. They are all good and, of these songs, I really liked 'Lightning Strikes Twice' which got my vote. It was a tough choice between that and 'Red State Country'.

Since the post on 'This Very Night' a few days ago I've started seriously thinking about producing some original music. The twist on this is to have AI write the music with humans performing it.

AI will, slowly, kill your creativity. Unless you are aware of it's,"usefulness"..

You have literally no idea what you're talking about.

I for one greatly await Vox's forthcoming "Suno Game" blog.

Good song. Thanks Vox for introducing me to Suno.

I am no musician, can’t play any instrument, but had some song ideas in my head for a long time. Now I have them in a form I can listen to. Everything from death metal to K pop.

Really need to see about a cover of Cash’s “When the man comes around.”

Snowyteller's avatar

Gah! That second song was a flashbang of personal resonance. By far one of the most disgusting aspects of the pit of despair is how... accustomed one becomes to its deprivations, the fetters feeling almost like an old friend at times, whatever form they take.

'the void is calling like a friend...'

This number is now out of service.

No. The Alphas will either power past them or leave.

They're usually intimidated by them, but bask in their attention if they receive any.
