Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Carin reminded me of this other AI created song from a few years ago. It’s no “You Can’t Take My Door”, but that’s a pretty high bar. The main difference between the two is that the AI didn’t write the lyrics in this case, but it did determine how the music should sound based on …

Boing Boing notes this tweet. So, I was wondering why the battery on my laptop was running down every time I left it at home.Turns out the kids have been using my election leaflets to get through the facial recognition lock…I’m not sure whether to be proud by the wit or concerned by the sneakiness? …
Botnik Studios fed a neural network a whole bunch of country music and then asked it to write a song based on what it learned. The result is “You Can’t Take My Door”, a song better and more lyrically challenging than anything I’ve heard on country radio in years. This is part of a larger …
We had a friend visiting us this weekend. At one point while we were talking about this, that and the other thing, he asked if I had noticed that my Tunein app wouldn’t cast to my Google Minis since the latest update. “My Tunein app can cast to my Google Minis,” was my rather unhelpful …

I love the Register’s On Call feature. Basically it’s like those emails full of dumb computer user jokes that have gone around for years and years, only real.

As long as I am of sound mind, I can’t imagine ever falling for one of these computer support scams. Unfortunately, a lot of people aren’t me and still do. There’s sadly not a whole lot that can or is being done to stop any of it, which makes videos like this fairly valuable. Not …

The company has unveiled three new wireless data options that it’s calling Infinite. They come in 10, 20 and …

I’ve never really thought about buying a Roomba. As much as it’s a pain in the ass, there’s still something satisfying about vacuuming your own house. Plus I know if I did get one I’d never bother pulling out furniture to clean behind it ever again, because I am a lazy man. But if ones …
I don’t know if these Moment Pebble people have created the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever seen, because I’ve been around a long time and have seen my share of things both stupid and otherwise and it’s hard to rank them all at this point. But what I do know is that they’ve absolutely given …

Is this really something worth celebrating? Human brains could be connected to the internet in ‘next few decades,’ scientists predict I like thinking. I like not knowing everything and having to figure things out for myself, even if sometimes all that means is Googling a few pages deep. I like discovering things by accident. I …
