it is shockingly easy to post AI generated music under the name of real artists on Spotify. It took us five minutes to do. You can do it to small bands, dead artists, even Taylor Swift. This is a giant loophole in digital music distribution that's widely abused www.404media.co/spotify-ai-m...
I Hijacked a Real Artist's Spotify with AI Music. It Was Disturbingly Easy
A glaring loophole in digital music distribution makes it very easy to piggyback on the talent of real artists with AI generated music.

Perhaps when the Taxpayers Union implodes, Jordan could go and work for the NZ Police? (Sounds like he might for right in there.)

As a longtime observer and critic of the duplicitous dirty politics & PR attack machine known as the “NZ Taxpayers’ Union” (bleurgh), as well as Jordan Williams and his sleazy actions, I sense a wave of confirmation bias coming to my house this evening.

It's good to see the dirty politics/PR attack machine's anti-3Waters campaign called out as the misleading racist, naked money-grubbing BS exercise it was.
I haven't read Nicky Hager's book 'Dirty Work' yet, but that definitely gels.

Any statement that starts, “But Taxpayers Union chair RUTH RICHARDSON says…” does not make the case that the dirty PR attack machine isn’t the ‘hard right’ smear & influence machine we all know it is.
NZ news media have for years pretended they believed David Farrar’s & Jordan Williams’ charade.

Could I mention that facts that emerged & judgments resulting from Jordan Williams’ failed defamation case against Colin Craig led to Justice Katz & I finding him to be deeply untrustworthy (indeed a treacherous little toe rag) despite his effusive character witnesses Ruth Money and his Mum.

It'd be good if Nikcy Hager's revelations re dirty PR attack machine 'NZ Taxpayers Union' led to a wave of admissions by media figures that they'd foolishly 'worked too closely' & collaborated with Jordan Williams & David Farrar.

“It is ironic, to say the least, that if Jordan Williams had not publicised the non-existent book, these inside sources would most likely never have contacted me and the book we are here to launch today would not have been written.”

I love it that Jordan Williams/David Farrar going off half-cocked & sending legal letters in a panic about a Nicky Hager exposé of their dirty PR attack machine that *hadn’t been written* led to … a Nicky Hager exposé being published tonight. Ha.

Because I am so very distrustful of anything Google, I never checked out its photo analysis features, nor its Gemini AI.
But now I have Apple's new Siri AI (based on a Gemini 'foundation' but without the privacy nightmares, I understand) I thought I'd try it.
Ha! Not bad.

🚨 #BREAKING: Bathurst Resources has just submitted the biggest coal mining application NZ has ever seen, right in the heart of the Denniston Plateau.
They’re hoping it will slip under the radar amid a global fuel crisis. But New Zealanders are furious at the war-profiteering fossil fuel barons ...
