SAM ALTMAN

"You ingested the entire written output of human civilization without consent, without compensation, and without credit, to build a system whose primary commercial application is eliminating the jobs of the people whose work you consumed.
You are not liberating human creativity - you are strip-mining it and selling it back at a markup while calling the theft training data."

My free M4L Stereo Filter Delay device for Ableton Live got a bit of love, I added -upon user request- the ability to mute the inputs and I decided it would be nice to have a dedicated Freeze function. There are a few more minor tweaks. It is here: roberthenke.com/technology/f... See less

The questionable joy of collecting old hardware: had great fun yesterday making new reverb presets with my mighty Dynacord DRP 20 reverb, just to learn today that they are all gone - the memory battery needs to be replaced. Meeeh :-( At least the unit is easy to service.

Monolake explore the earth and the heavens as well as man’s place in them, their soundtrack being sculpted with daring simplicity to achieve complexity and intricacy of expression and form.
