Very interesting #AI_💬 news, there's an open letter going around gathering signatures from the Future of Life Institute that states:

"We call on all AI labs to immediately pause for at least 6 months the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4"

https://futureoflife.org/open-letter/pause-giant-ai-experiments/

Interestingly, the petition has already been signed by big tech CEOs and technologists that are very involved in current A.I. development.

Krita 5 is a great Animation Tool!

Now with motion tweening!

Krita is a #free_💬 and #opensource_💬 tool for creating digital art, including animation! And in Krita 5 they've introduced motion tweening! So now you can use motion tweens by going to "Settings->Dockers->Animation Curves" and you can move a whole "group" of layers as one thing.

There's apparently a "Youtube Audio Library" that has a bunch of songs available for use in anything, as long as it's not distributed unchanged. That's their wording. So, seems that it's basically opensource beats? They call it "royalty-free production music and sound effects" that is "copyright-safe" although I'm having trouble finding the actual license but I'll update it in the comments if I find it. It looks like the big "catch" is that if you monetize your video you can't use their music UNLESS you're part of some special program that's hard to get into.... so it could be a trap so you can't make money off your music, so be careful with this stuff, but I was suprised how good some of it sounded anyways. Make sure you find out the specific license of the music you're going to use, they have various licensing.

Here's a few good songs I saw used in some stupid auto-generated review video of Amazon products with a bunch of product links in the description. I was curious how a stupid auto-generated video had such good music so I dug a little deeper and this is what I found! I think it'd be an ironic twist to use this music to rap about the dangers of A.I. and the consolidation of media and corporate power by using the corporate opensource beats as a medium ;}

How mindfulness changes the emotional life of our brains | Richard J. Davidson | TEDxSanFrancisco

"Why is it that some people are more vulnerable to life's slings and arrows and others more resilient?" In this eye-opening talk, Richard Davidson discusses how mindfulness can improve well-being and outlines strategies to boost four components of a healthy mind: awareness, connection, insight, and purpose.

Richard Davidson is researching how mindfulness changes the emotional life of our brains and what we know about people's brains of individuals showing more resilience than others. Davidson is Wiliam James and Vilas professor of psychology and psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison as well as founder and director of the Center for Healthy Minds. His research is focused on the neural bases of emotion and emotional style and methods to promote human flourishing, including meditation and related contemplative practices. #Neuroscience_💬 #Wellbeing_💬 #MentalHealth_💬 Richard Davidson is Research Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry and Founder & Director of the Center for Healthy Minds, University of Wisconsin-Madison.Davidson’s research is focused on the neural bases of emotion and emotional style and methods to promote human flourishing including meditation and related contemplative practices.

"The 5 Filters of the Mass Media Machine"

This is a great short video summarizing what Noam Chompsky called the "5 filters" in his book "Manufacturing Consent".

It describes how the mass media industry is fundamentally and inherently manipulated to perpetuate a filtered view of reality through the influence of:

1. Ownership
2. Advertising
3. the Media Elite
4. Flak
5. "the Common Enemy"
