Machine learning like Dall.E thing is going to spread into all artistic fields. "Generate 10-track album of synthwave deep punk neo-retro banghramuffin in the style of Nsync. Publish to Bandcamp". *presses enter*
- We're going to drown in AI-generated crap.jagara
- Have you heard the AI Beatles (etc) albums on YouTube?microkorg
- Curation will become the most important job of the next decades :))grafician
- Like with the images, the music thing only sounds like other songs and tricks your brain with something that looks and sounds familiar.PhanLo
- Banking and finance is where the money is in creating little robots that trade and make money. But if record companies could generate music they'd defo do itPhanLo
- @PhanLo ...and these images and sounds will trick most people.jagara
- Yeah Jagara, they trick me too , until you take a second look. If it can generate new ideas then it will be scary :-)PhanLo
- I plan to use it for rapid prototypingscarabin

As if he hasn't rekeased enough music since him and Biggie snuck off to an island paradise together, here's a horrifying AI generated Tupac song about machines in torment.
No Youtube link sorry.

- Fuck! That's weird. I like the repeated chorus-type thing at the end. Surely there was some human creativity in all this, instead of a "make a Tu Pac track"Ianbolton
- yeah not sure what to think, seems like a high-school kid's project rap, but if real and this is just the start, it's pretty nuts._niko
- It's like when a robot finds out about war and human suffering in a scifi film and freaks out. He says it's written with 4 different AI'sPhanLo

- Linklater did it with real people in waking life. People that actually experience the world mixed with their own emotional mirror. This shit is amateur.toemaas

- I don't see this as a viable replacement for most rocket usage, as it's not *that* much better and has a lot of payload limitations...Nairn
- ie ( https://twitter.com/… )Nairn
- But what I do think a system like this would be amazing for is simply hurling up water etc, to be caught by space-based platforms and and then orbited.Nairn
- Water is SO useful - fuel, drink, farming sustenance, radiatiopn shielding, etc, etc. Until we start mining comets, we need to bring our own.Nairn
- Launching parts and tools for ISS. Launching modular satellites that can assemble themselves or by remotenb
- No one is claiming it will replace all rocketsnb
- Then we agree :)
It's just often pitched thus.Nairn

A Singapore-based aerospace company has developed a combat drone capable of reaching supersonic speeds.
Kelley Aerospace unveiled their concept for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) called the Arrow last week, according to Auto Evolution. The drone's capable of flying more than 2,600 nautical miles at mach 2.1, or 1,611 miles per hour. That means the drone can fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in a little over three hours — all while breaking the sound barrier.
- Meh, looks like another mostly paper-based fantasy engineered purely to extract investment dollars. Where'e the engine going to come from?Nairn
- micro nuclear reactor inside the drone ..or nano solar cellsneverscared
- fueling tiny jetengine.neverscared
- concorde engenines were pretty small too compared to normal passenger flight and thats some time ago.neverscared
- tiny jet engines don't produce enough thrust, ask any model engineerhans_glib
- erm, where did you get the idea that Concorde engines were 'small'? They were at least twice as long as contemporary turbofans.Nairn
- ..and Concorde had four of them, which compared to a 737 with about the same/more passengers is twice as many, larger, engines.Nairn

- This looks so coolChimp
- You need a certain type of voice to be able to man these intercom calls on these aeronautical adventures. Like the spacex, nasa and pilot videos.shapesalad
- It's calm, neutral, slightly nerdy, not too deep, but calmly low with a few nerdy crackles.shapesalad
- Funny story, I was actually interviewed to be their senior art director years ago, cos their head office is here in Munich.Continuity
- i wonder what the redundancy is for engine failure. how many need to go out for it to not sustain altitude.shapesalad
- If it's in VTOL configuration, it only needs enough engines running to provide a landing the occupants can walk away from.Nairn
- If it's in flight configuration, I imagine it has pretty much the same failure mode as something like a Cessna. Perhaps a bit clumsier, with the thicker wings.Nairn
- I'd imagine there's at least two independent systems, running half a wing each.Nairn
- The thing about small electric motors is that they're massively controllable/ 'throttable' so a multitude can 'easily' account for individual/local failures.Nairn
- It's got at least 34 individual engines, so there's a lot of scope for redundancy.Nairn
- *'throttleable', apparently. There's a once-in- a-lifetime word I'll never use again.Nairn
- @Continuity - an interesting gig! Might've got quite dull though. I can't see a helluva lot of variety in a job like that.Nairn

- @drgs To make it even funnier, they dressed it in black to hide the fact that it wasn't one of the fancier models.garbage

- No. Needs a runtime in excess of 4 minutes after first peak. Even then it might cause brain damage rather than be actually fatal.comicsans
