Andy and both Michaels get together to talk tech — focusing on AI generated music, security & privacy.
Starting off with the news about Suno.ai, the co-hosts discuss what generative AI music might be like, and what it may mean from a copyright perspective. This prompts Michael M to remember the Wired CD published in 2004, specifically designed to be ripped, sampled and remixed.
The team takes a moment to consider the news of the United States Department of Justice bringing a complaint against Apple as outlined by the post from Sixcolors.
Then, the team moves to a plethora of articles dealing with security and privacy. An intriguing post from IanVisits details how pendulums are used as a source of randomness at the Cloudflare offices in London. Next up is a story about Glassdoor now requiring real names, and the fallout from that. Then, a discussion about The Stack, and how you can determine whether your content has been included in it or not. Last is a TechCrunch article dealing with LinkedIn’s reported plans to add gaming to the platform.
