“Therapy and companionship” have emerged as two of the most frequent applications for generative AI globally, according to the Harvard Business Review. This trend marks a significant, unplanned pivot in how people interact with technology.

Anthem Demo - Napster plus Distributed Machine Learning
In its finished state, the software is supposed to work like this:
- Users start NapsterML, which act as a peer in the network
- Once they have found other peers, they connect to a master node, which coordinates the training
- All peers then train a model with their uploaded songs
- Then they generate songs from their local models
- Each user can now listen to and generate their own AI songs
Would love to hear some feedback from you guys 😀

UK govt condemns 'death to the IDF' chants at Glastonbury
Glastonbury (United Kingdom) (AFP) – A British punk-rap group faced growing criticism on Sunday for making anti-Israel remarks at the Glastonbury music festival that have sparked a police inquiry.Bob Vylan led crowds in chants of "Death, death to the IDF", a reference to the acronym for the Israeli military, during their set on Saturday.
British police officers are also examining comments by the Irish rap trio Kneecap, whose members have likewise been highly critical of Israel and its military campaign against the Palestinian militant group Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
One of Kneecap's members wore a T-shirt dedicated to the Palestine Action Group, which is about to be banned under UK terror laws.
The UK government has "strongly condemned" Bob Vylan's chants, which festival organisers said had "very much crossed a line".
"We are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence," the festival said in a statement.
Avon and Somerset police said Saturday that video evidence would be assessed by officers "to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation".
The chants about Israel's military, condemned by the Israeli embassy in London, were led by Bob Vylan's frontman Bobby Vylan.
They were broadcast live on the BBC, which airs coverage of Britain's most popular music festival.
"I thought it's appalling, to be honest," Wes Streeting, the Labour's government's health secretary, said of the chants, adding that "all life is sacred".
"I think the BBC and Glastonbury have got questions to answer about how we saw such a spectacle on our screens," he told Sky News.
The Israel embassy said in a statement late Saturday that "it was "deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival".
But Streeting also took aim at the embassy, telling it to "get your own house in order".
"I think there's a serious point there by the Israeli embassy. I wish they'd take the violence of their own citizens towards Palestinians more seriously," he said, citing Israeli settler violence in the West Bank.
A spokesperson for the BBC said Vylan's comments were "deeply offensive" and the broadcaster had "no plans" to make the performance available on its on-demand service.
Festival-goer Joe McCabe, 31, told AFP that while he did not necessarily agree with Vylan's statement, "I certainly think the message of questioning what's going on there (in Gaza) is right."

Non si tratta di una recensione o di un'analisi del libro, non serve a presentarlo in nessun modo ma si limita a usare alcuni estratti per fare propaganda politica.
Magari esiste una comunità più adatta, ma qui si parla di libri e l'articolo ne parla ben poco (il fatto che tratti marginalmente di scrittorз e intellettualз non è molto rilevante in quanto il focus è sempre politico e incentrato sul tema guerra/riarmo)

There is a potential BYTECODE virus in the "OPEN SOURCE" Microsoft products MAASGRAVE activator. Here is how the virus is hidden and created AT RUN TIME!
github.com/massgravel/Microsof…
I ran the MASSGRAVE "open source" activator on a virtual machine using VMware Workstation.
The "open source" code actually also contains "BYTECODE" sections. WHEN YOU RUN THE "HARMLESS LOOKING open source" script, IT basically constructs several virus exe files during runtime FROM THE BYTECODE SECTION !!
TSforge_Activation.exe"
TSforgeCLI.exe
LibTSforge.dll
These exe files are what does the activation.
It also installs backdoors, and potential malware !!
Can some other developer verify this on a virtual machine?
Please spread this message to more advanced Software engineers who understand "BYTECODE" HIDING and exe construction IN OPENSOURCE SCRIPTS AND HAVE THEM TAKE A LOOK AT IT!
Also the first method makes you trust a their website! You don't know what you are downloading from them!
I tried to post this Redit, but Redit is blocking this!

what kind of viruses? what do they do? did you notice anything objectively bad that they do? or something fishy other than creating executables?
These exe files are what does the activation.

could you provide a little more details on what kind of backdoors does it install? and what malware?
this could be a big deal, but you didn't provide anything that could be verified.

Four teams of humanoid robots faced off in a fully autonomous 3-on-3 football game powered entirely by artificial intelligence in Beijing on Saturday night.
Touted as China's first 3-on-3 football game between humanoid robots, the event served as a preview for the upcoming World Humanoid Robot Games, set to take place in the Chinese capital this August.According to the organizers, a key highlight of the competition was that all participating robots operated fully autonomously using AI-driven strategies – without any human intervention or supervision.
Equipped with advanced visual sensors, the robots were able to identify the ball and navigate the field. They were also designed to stand up on their own after falling.
During the game, however, several still had to be carried off the field on stretchers by staff.
