There is a ton to read and learn about AI and the public policy needed to harness its potential but here are 29 words that can serve as a foundation for you.

Here’s a six-minute walkthrough of what one of the most powerful large-language models was able to accomplish in my now-launched project, Alberta Well Finder (https://lnkd.in/gPPwaVyr) with some thoughtful prompting. If you’re a software developer, it’s worth noting. 🤯 https://lnkd.in/gkENueqS #ai #claude #sonnet #sveltekit #supabase #albertawellfinder

made a fun prototyping platform that allows me to send out any gameplay blueprint data externally to trigger sound and music from any MIDI device. this demonstration also quantizes all the events to musical timing and 'plays the music' ↳ send out game data over OSC (Open Sound Control) ↳ receive OSC data in Max and convert to MIDI Notes, CCs, Channels ↳ assign MIDI info to samplers or instruments or DAWs ↳ play the game realtime to audition anything ↳ great for prototyping different feels and moods this capture has 3 different songs where the gameplay data triggers different instruments in Maschine running realtime with the game. also worth mentioning is this setup is sending OSC over LAN which allows my PC to play Unreal Engine and my Mac (which has most all my Sound and Music softwares) to play Audio and Music driven from the game additional info in comments Tech: Epic Games Unreal Engine 5 AirWiggles - Asteroid project from Implementation Tournament Cycling '74 Max 9 Ableton Ableton Live DAW Native Instruments Maschine 3 Soundminer Radium #unreal #technical #sound #music #design #concept #prototyping #audio #vision

As per OpenAI's Brad Lightcap on CNBC, Apple Intelligence will profoundly change the human machine interface on mobile devices, causing every major app to be completely redesigned in 2025. WillowTree and TELUS Digital have long been believers in the power of multimodal voice technology. Everything predicted in the book "Sound of the Future" is happening right now. #ai #chatgpt #apple #conversationalai https://lnkd.in/eYrcXNyx

The Canadian entertainment industry has several interesting initiatives aimed at transforming the market into a more inclusive space, which can make a big difference in our lives. And they are very important. However, there is a clear lack of inclusion initiatives for immigrants, which is a shame for a country that presents itself in such an inviting way to us. The only solution the market offers us is to start over from scratch, as if we had left everything we learned and all our qualifications behind just because we moved to another country. Paradoxically, our experience, which is not taken into account when it comes to fitting us into the market because, after all, we have to start over from scratch, is used as an excuse to not allow us to start from scratch because we have too much experience for that entry-level position, and the best career plan for us is to stay unemployed. There is a lack of grants, funds, and programs to help us with our transition, assimilation, and appreciation by the industry. Last year, I won one of the very few grants aimed at newcomers in the country, which made a huge difference in my career. The immigrants of the Canadian creative sector are so ignored by the industry that we don't even have the opportunity to talk about the lack of opportunities to work in this country. If we look at all the industry programming, debates, panels, etc. that address diversity and inclusion in all festivals and conferences across the country, it is very, very, very difficult to find an immigrant talking about their difficulties. This shows that we are not even remembered to participate in these conversations, we are not even allowed in those spaces. Here's hoping that changes soon. I've seen many talented people leaving Canada because the doors were held shut because of... because of... because of what exactly?

Digital twins, a hot topic in our podcast and the bestselling book, "Age of Invisible Machines," are increasingly important to product development and an AI-driven agentic approach to software. Who better to join the ongoing discussion than Dr. Michael Grieves, the father of the digital twin? Dr. Grieves partnered with John Vickers, NASA's Principal Technologist, to implement his concept of digital twins for NASA, allowing them to virtually try on various $500,000,000 scenarios before real-world attempts. Robb W. and Dr. Grieves compare notes from their times working with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and Boeing, and Dr. Grieves brings a trove of knowledge and perspective that he's been collecting and applying since well before the current AI boom, with organizations including, Unilever, General Motors, and NASA. As product and technology leaders venture into AI-driven agentic approaches to software will digital twins cross the threshold from being AI insiders tools into 'business as usual'? #aiagents #agentic #digitaltwin #invisiblemachines #cognitivearchitecture

I just found and deleted 200GB across 4 different cache folders... PSA: Run this excellent free app on your system and see how much junk is clogging up your hard drive... https://lnkd.in/eb2QetxY

There are several teams like us using AI for language revitalization. If everything goes right, we should be able to save a lot of dying language in the next decade or so. https://lnkd.in/geRj2Vhu

Radiohead tune 100% synthesized in MetaSounds. ⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅ Each 'voice' of the song is synthesized and nested in a MetaSound sub patch. There are 6 voices/layers: - chords (up to 6 note polyphony) - kick1 - snare - pip - noise - kick2 MetaSound Source patch you see here is Sequencing and Mixing the 6 layers. ⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅ #unreal #metasound #synthesis #technical #sounddesign #UE5 ⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅⎯⚅

Visual research project studying shapes created through human motion, inspired by Marey’s chronophotographies. Using real-time voxelized data from an animation (but also from volumetric video or depth camera), multiple sequential frames are aggregated over time. All animation and rendering happens in real-time in the GPU using compute shaders. #creativecoding #unity3D #newmedia #motiongraphics

This unfortunate development within the Canadian Animation industry could be signs of what is to come next. When we brought our 20 million dollar PBS kids production to Nova Scotia, I had spent more than a year developing a plan to shuttle some of those funds to the local colleges and identity art schools there to establish animation production training courses there, to ensure that the animation talent infrastructure and ecosystem is bolstered with our money, and expertise. This was a vital part in my decision to go there, given of course the fact we had no choice other than to work with a third party studio in Canada.(We had absolutely no option to produce the series on American soil, so, establishing a healthy Animation infrastructure in NS was key, if the production is successful) With the hijacking of the series and the abandonment of our prior promises,plans and agreements- the plan was shelved. Now, given this sad development today, I do not see how the Canadian Animation industry grows beyond this, but when the government props up a private industry by picking winners and losers with the publics tax dollars in ANY country, the free market dies. I hope this is not as bad as it is looking.
