Apple has closed down the first of its US stores to unionize. Over half of the 70 unionized workers at the Towson, MD store are losing their jobs. The union says Apple is retaliating after it only offered transfers to workers at the two nonunion stores it also closed.

In survey after survey, public opinion toward AI music is pretty unfavorable. A study by Deezer and Ipsos showed that 51 percent of respondents think AI will “lead to the creation of more low-quality, generic-sounding music.” Despite this, only Bandcamp has banned generative AI music outright.

They won’t ban it. They won’t embrace it either.

1) Quarto escuro, um casal na cama. A mulher de olhos fechados, o homem com olhos arregalados. Ele diz: “Ouvi um rosnado na sala.” - a mulher resmunga: “Não é nada. Dorme.”
2) O homem continua alarmado e diz: “Pode ser uma fera sanguinária. Vai ver.” - a mulher sai da cama pa ir ver.
3) Sala de estar. A mulher acende uma luz e no meio da sala, ocupando quase todo o espaço, está uma aranha gigantesca.
4) De volta ao quarto, a mulher entra sob as cobertas, dizendo: “É uma aranha.” - o homem, ainda de olhos arregalados, fala: “Aranha não rosna. Vê de novo.”
