Hey you, you deserve some more joy! My daughter w Hey you, you deserve some more joy! My daughter was really getting into making music using AI. She was paying attention to the lyrics it generated, and, because she's who she is, she decided to write some lyrics herself. Looking at them written down on paper, they seemed a bit weird, but then a lot of lyrics do. And she'd included a lot of woahs and ahs and ooohs (in brackets, because she already knows that the AI will treat those lines as shouts, ad-libs and backing vocals - that's my girl!), so it all looked a bit mad. But I fed them into the system, and - wow. GEEK DETAILS: It's amazing how the AI has expanded on my daughter's lyrics - adding extra "ohs" and "ahs" if it makes sense to, and actually ignoring some if they don't fit. It's also added extra repeated lines itself. I don't know how it and why it decides to do this, but it certainly works.

I want to share a joyous side-project with you... I want to share a joyous side-project with you... Last year my 8-year old daughter and I started making some AI-songs, all sung by the band she invented. CLAWS are a five-piece, part-human, part-animal rock group: Celine is on drums Lydia is on vocals Angel's on flute Wester goes wild on lead guitar Satona joins Lydia on vocals Eventually we had enough songs for an album, which I put on CD for her last Christmas. And now we've decided it's time for CLAWS's second album. A lot has improved since the first attempts - the AI song models have got better, and I've also learned that I can get more control by using a different LLM to create the lyrics and the song prompt suggestions. So here's the first song from CLAWS's second album. And I have to say, it's a banger. GEEK DETAILS: Yes, it's a simple four-chord song, but - well - they work. I don't know whether certain style prompts will always lead to these chord progressions, but I do try and get it to deviate later in the album (with limited success). When asking the LLM for lyrics, I explained the make-up of the band, and that this should be the first song on the second album. A joyous, celebratory return, asking if the audience had missed them. This song popped right out, and I can't really fault it.

Well, I've had the most amazing weekend. In Austra Well, I've had the most amazing weekend. In Australia. Hosting the most exclusive, off-the-radar tech event I've ever experienced. I've seen amazing tech demos, I've interviewed amazing people about world-changing ideas, and I did it all with some of my bestest chums. @laralewlew (screen wife), @sn0mi (exec prod), @kitty.kn (in chaaaaarge) and @benjamin_barfoot (two movies in the cinema already). You can't keep a good team down... LL, I think I beat you in the excess wardrobe. And yes, if you think you recognise one of the other faces, you're probably right. More details soon - in my newsletter - once I've worked out which side of the world I'm on!

Analysts say that the cyberattack on Jaguar Land R Analysts say that the cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover is the costliest in UK history. We discussed this at Spencer Kelly's Masterclass, and the clip below could save you a few billion pounds. In it we descibe what a ransomware attack looks like, and Ken Munro explains how crisis rehearsals and giving the right people authority to make quick decisions can stop a hack in its tracks.
