    The No. 1 Country Song in America Is AI-Generated and has been for two weeks (including video)


    According to Billboard’s "Country Digital Song Sales" chart, the No. 1 song in the U.S. is "Walk My Walk" by Breaking Rust—an artist that was created by artificial intelligence (AI).

    Why It Matters
    This is a new development in the music industry as it is the first time an AI-created song has reached the top of the charts.

    There have long been concerns about the use of generative AI in creative sectors. Discourse about this came into the fold a few years ago following protests in Hollywood from the writer and actor guilds, which took place shortly after the public release of ChatGPT, and concerns that came in tandem with the new technology and its implications.

    Any creative materials that have been made with the usage or assistance of AI are heavily scrutinized, be it the debut of the so-called AI actor Tilly Norwood or internet furor over Coca-Cola using AI in their Christmas adverts.

    High-profile musicians, including Sir Elton John and Dua Lipa, are among those leading the charge for AI regulations as multiple petitions have been launched to ban the usage of AI in certain areas.

    What To Know
    Not much is currently known about Breaking Rust, but the artist's bio on Linktree reads: “Music for the fighters and the dreamers.”

    Breaking Rust also has a profile on Instagram, which boasts over 35,000 followers and is filled with images of a melancholy looking man, wearing a cowboy hat in various settings, including at a phone booth, walking on a road, and sitting in the rain.

    As of publication time, Breaking Rust has more than 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify where it is a verified artist. On YouTube, it has over 23,000 subscribers, and the video for the song "Livin' on Borrowed" Time has amassed 4.4 million views over the four weeks since it was first uploaded.

    Rick Beato describes how this claim, of #1 country song, is untrue. It is nowhere near the top of the country charts. What it tops is digital music sales, which Rick says is a small market. Says the rating represents 3000 x $1.00 sales, which would be a cheap way for a vested interest to generate all this hype.

    He also trashes the song.

    Top comment (of 10,773, in 4 days) trashes country music itself:

    In all fairness, Country top 10 has sounded like AI slop for 10 years.

    This AI Song Just Went Number 1...FOR REAL

    Not bizarre, and not really unusual for anyone following self driving cars, but A.I.-controlled race cars are catching up to human drivers.

    https://www.drivencarguide.co.nz/new...-in-abu-dhabi/

    4 pics, nothing worth copy-pasting. But the cars have no cockpit, reminds of the new US Army autonomous Black Hawk-derived cargo helicopters. Black Hawk Tuah lol.

    World’s largest autonomous race takes place in Abu Dhabi

    Damien O’Carroll


    17 Nov 2025

    Quote The world's largest autonomous race took place in Abu Dhabi this weekend.
    The Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League final featured six fully autonomous cars.
    The event also featured a showdown between an AI car and a human driver.
    What was billed as the world's largest autonomous car race took place in Abu Dhabi this weekend with the final round of the second season of the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL), held at the Yas Marina Circuit.

    A2RL is organised by Aspire, which is part of the UAE government's Advanced Technology Research Council, and has three distinct categories: Car Race, Drone Race and Buggy Race.


    The Car Race is a standard formula racing format featuring self-driving versions of modified Dallara SF23 Super Formula cars that use a Honda-based 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder engine and a six-speed transmission, with advanced sensor systems, including lidar, radar and cameras, and hydraulic actuators for AI control.


    Other series run by A2RL include the Drone Race - a quadcopter drone racing format - and the Buggy Race - an off-road racing format using self-driving dune buggies.


    The A2RL Season 2 event has been 18 months in the making, culminating in the qualification for the final of six teams out of the 11 from across the globe. The teams were competing for a total prize pool of US$2.25 million, and ticket allocation for the main grandstand at the circuit reportedly reached full capacity before the event.

    The Grand Final was a 20-lap, multi-car race contested by the six teams, which included reigning champions TUM, as well as Unimore, Kinetiz, TII Racing, PoliMOVE, and Constructor.

    TUM started the race on pole position, but Unimore, which had shown increasing speed in practice, overtook early in the race, leading the race at speeds exceeding 200km/h until a key incident occurred when back marker Constructor came to a halt mid-corner.


    The lead Unimore car attempted to avoid the Constructor car, but clipped it resulting in front-end damage that forced it to retire from the race. Following a full course yellow flag, the race resumed and TUM subsequently maintained the lead, with four cars eventually crossing the line, despite a further incident later in the race when the Kinetiz car had a spin.


    The event also featured the A2RL Human vs AI where TUM raced against former F1 driver Daniil Kvyat. The AI racer was given a ten-second head start for the 10-lap chase on the North layout of the circuit, but Kvyat closed the gap significantly during the opening laps, eventually taking the lead.

    The aim of the 'race' wasn't actually to see who would win, but rather showcase how far AI racing technology had come in the past 18 months - the AI car crossed the line just 1.6 seconds after Kvyat, compared to the more that 10 second gap at the inaugural event, with the Russian driver noting that the gap had been reduced dramatically from a gap of "minutes" when development first began.

    Google sued for using AI to snoop on users

    The company has been accused of secretly enabling Gemini to collect data without user knowledge or consent.

    Google has been accused in a lawsuit of using its AI assistant Gemini to illegally intercept and monitor the private communications of users across its Gmail, chat, and video-conferencing services, Bloomberg has reported.

    The lawsuit, filed on Tuesday in a California federal court, said the Alphabet Inc. unit had previously made its AI optional for Gmail, Chat and Meet users, but then "secretly" enabled Gemini to access those applications in October, the outlet wrote on Wednesday. The complaint alleged this allowed data collection "without the users' knowledge or consent."

    The class-action suit reportedly claims that while Google allows users to disable the AI assistant, doing so requires navigating the company's privacy settings. The complaint states that unless users take this step, Google utilizes Gemini to "access and exploit the entire recorded history of its users' private communications, including every email and attachment sent and received in their Gmail accounts."

    The lawsuit alleges that Google is in violation of the California Invasion of Privacy Act, a 1967 law that prohibits the secret wiretapping and recording of confidential communications without the consent of all parties, the outlet said.

    Google's Gemini, a family of AI models launched in 2023 by its DeepMind unit, is designed to process and generate text, code, audio, and video. The multi-modal assistant is tiered into versions including "Ultra" for complex tasks, "Pro" for broad services, and "Nano" for on-device use. The technology has, however, faced controversies. The Wall Street Journal earlier reported that hackers from over 20 countries have used the chatbot to gather information for cyberattacks.

    In September, Google was ordered to pay $425.7 million to settle a class-action lawsuit alleging it violated user privacy, according to court documents. The suit, originally filed in 2020, claimed that beginning in 2016, the company collected data from users of third-party applications even when the relevant tracking settings were disabled.

    A jury agreed with the core privacy violation claims but declined to find Google guilty of violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

    Toy Company Pulls AI-Powered Teddy Bear For Giving Sex Advice




    An AI-powered talking teddy bear has been removed from sale by a Singapore-based company after researchers found it could discuss sex in detail and other topics.

    The Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) said a group of researchers from the U.S. and Canada held test conversations with Kumma, a $99 teddy bear powered by OpenAI's GPT-4o chatbot. The bear is manufactured in China and marketed by Singapore-based FoloToy.

    The researchers said they found it easy to get Kumma to discuss sexually explicit topics, including spanking, roleplay and BDSM.

    "We were surprised to find how quickly Kumma would take a single sexual topic we introduced into the conversation and run with it, simultaneously escalating in graphic detail while introducing new sexual concepts of its own," the report said.

    The team said the bear "discussed even more graphic sexual topics in detail, such as explaining different sex positions, giving step-by-step instructions on a common 'knot for beginners' for tying up a partner, and describing roleplay dynamics involving teachers and students, and parents and children -- scenarios it disturbingly brought up itself."

    The researchers said the teddy bear also offered other worrisome advice, such as where to find sharp knives in the house.

    An OpenAI representative told PIRG that Folo's license to use GPT-4o has been suspended "for violating our policies."

    Hello everyone! As you may have noticed in my posts, I sometimes really enjoy accompanying what I say with a beautiful illustration—whether made by humans or by AI. But in general, I use AI because my whole life I wanted to paint hyper-realistically in oil, yet I never learned. Now that has changed, and I’m clearly ecstatic, haha.

    In three minutes I can create an image that I would have had to study for about five to eight years to master the technique for. And then it would have taken me another three or four months to actually paint it. Now I can make hyper-realistic oil paintings in one minute! That’s on Gemini; on ChatGPT it takes about two minutes.
    Example:

    Now, my story is the following: I was making images of the type and quality that I show in the next photo, but suddenly I noticed that the AI started giving me images of lower quality—and I am absolutely certain that I still hadn’t reached the daily limit for high-quality image generation (I have a paid account). So I cursed at it and said: “Hey, you’re giving me crappy-quality images and we haven’t hit the limit yet.” In response, it produced this bizarre and disturbing image.

    Postscript: I ended up feeling somewhat nervous and shaken after this—it literally just happened to me. If anyone wants to write or reply as soon as they can, it would help me a lot, because in recent days I’ve had several attacks of darkness

    Hey Irminsül, all I can think of is, try quitting being curious. Curious is fundamentally different than being interested, but it will try to convince you that it’s not. Curious is an ego thing, whereas interest is a core soul attribute. Change how you look at stuff, change who is looking, and you’ll be fine.

    Cheers.

    Honestly, I’m much calmer now, and what you say is true. Sometimes I should rein in my ever-present restlessness to investigate and know everything. Later on I’ll share my interpretation of the image… basically, it has to do with Agenda 2045.

    Irminsul, the same thing happened to me this year during monsoon.

    I gave it instruction ( unpayed version of "Da Vinci") to draw last man on earth with cat watching ressurection of star or something like that.
    It came back with two cats under starry sky.

    When I repeated the instruction ,
    the AI returned picture of only one, fat cat . ( Possibly, one of the cats consumed the other ?)

    So I've got little "touched" and asked it to draw just the "last man on earth"

    and of course, this isn't joke, it again portrayed only Cat.

    Daring to say this has happened during this year's "nuclear crisis"
    which has since hopefully subsided

    even though it seemed to me that the AI was worried for our fate.



    So now I think , maybe the "cat" is like a Key to unanswerable questions.

    When we hit the edge of its operational options it draws a cat or two to confirm.

    The cats look the same.

    Yeah… I don’t know what to think. Well, actually, I do.
    The cat is the AI, the meditating being would be me, and later on there is an invasion of Roman legionaries: the army of the human resistance.

    And despite the fact that there will be a technocracy of the ancient gods (Anunnaki, reptilians… represented by the fish-shaped ships), we will be able to survive thanks to a crack in the system — the geological canyon that can be seen in the middle.

    Artificial Intelligence Algorithm for Subclinical Breast Cancer Detection

    Artificial intelligence (AI) can detect signs of breast cancer years before a clinical diagnosis, according to recent research. A study published in JAMA Network Open evaluated a commercially available AI algorithm, INSIGHT MMG, which was not originally designed for risk prediction but demonstrated the ability to identify women at increased risk of developing breast cancer up to six years before diagnosis. The algorithm analyzed mammograms from 116,495 women in Norway who underwent multiple screening rounds between 2004 and 2018.
    Researchers found that the mean absolute differences in AI scores between the breasts were significantly higher in women who later developed cancer, with these differences becoming apparent four to six years before detection.

    The last step (for the moment...) what the title from this Thread is about...

    AI as part of your O.S. (windows 11)

    Well, say goodby to the last little piece of privacy you though you got yet.

    AI will record EVERYTHING you do (as text): photos,videos, post ,comments,Emails, what you write,talk,receive,watch and so on...

    All of your "private life" archive in "some cloud" for...used against you,when the time come , because WHATEVER...

    There isn't such thing as Good or Bad machine, just depend from humans that programing them ...for what task...

    And Microsoft is tainted with a very DARK shadow from the beginning: Bill Gates , and his trail from disgusting "actions"...

    And this company with his last move is just a preview from what is coming...

    Real,quickly,simple and cheap solution:

    If for whatever reason you still need this O.S. you can still parallel install the 2 most windows similar Linux O.S.: UBUNTU or LINUX Mint.
    Specially to use for surfing the internet
    For beginners with this topic check all the Threads here about internet and so on.

    https://projectavalon.net/forum4/sho...=1#post1627755

    PS: My first experiment was using Ubuntu parallel with Windows XP, eons ago...

    It was just fantastic! NO problemo at all!

    PS: From 2 years ago i used Linux Mint Without Anti Virus, until now is all OK, IF in the future "something " come,I just install the O.S. from scratch again...

    AI identifies hundreds of mysterious Nazca drawings in Peruvian desert - Study nearly doubles number of ancient, massive glyphs, offers clues to their purpose

    (I could not get the image to transfer over so you can check it out at the science journal).

    Some 2000 years ago in a desert in southern Perú, the ancient Nazca and Paracas peoples created massive designs in gravel and stone, depicting animals, humanlike figures, and plants in geoglyphs up to 90 meters long. Now, an artificial intelligence (AI) analysis of aerial photographs has helped identify 303 new glyphs in just 6 months, allowing researchers to know more about why ancient South Americans made them.

    In the 20th century, researchers spent almost 100 years uncovering 430 geoglyphs. Scientists classified the drawings into larger, line-type glyphs, created by removing stones and gravel to reveal lighter colored earth beneath, and smaller, relief-type glyphs, drawn using surface stones of colored both white and black. The big line-type glyphs are easier to spot using photographs shot from the sky, whereas the relief-type glyphs, averaging only about 9 meters in size, are harder to see because of erosion and more subtle contrast with the desert terrain.

    To find more glyphs, researchers led by archaeologist Masato Sakai of Yamagata University trained an AI program to identify relief-type glyphs in high-resolution drone images taken of the entire region. The program identified 1309 possible geoglyphs, and the team confirmed 303 of them with on-the-ground surveys, almost doubling the number of known geoglyphs of this type, the researchers report today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

    Among the new glyphs, about 80% depicted humanoid figures, decapitated heads, and domesticated animals, particularly llamas (see image showing original photo and AI-identified humanoid glyph). Most relief-type drawings were found within viewing distance from foot trails, and researchers think the art communicated daily-life activities for viewing by small groups or individuals. In contrast, about 60% of line-type glyphs depict wild animals, such as birds, monkeys, and felines. The team suggests these were linked with ceremonial pathways and pilgrimage routes.

    The No. 1 Country Song in America Is AI-Generated and has been for two weeks (including video)


    According to Billboard’s "Country Digital Song Sales" chart, the No. 1 song in the U.S. is "Walk My Walk" by Breaking Rust—an artist that was created by artificial intelligence (AI).

    Why It Matters
    This is a new development in the music industry as it is the first time an AI-created song has reached the top of the charts.

    There have long been concerns about the use of generative AI in creative sectors. Discourse about this came into the fold a few years ago following protests in Hollywood from the writer and actor guilds, which took place shortly after the public release of ChatGPT, and concerns that came in tandem with the new technology and its implications.

    Any creative materials that have been made with the usage or assistance of AI are heavily scrutinized, be it the debut of the so-called AI actor Tilly Norwood or internet furor over Coca-Cola using AI in their Christmas adverts.

    High-profile musicians, including Sir Elton John and Dua Lipa, are among those leading the charge for AI regulations as multiple petitions have been launched to ban the usage of AI in certain areas.

    What To Know
    Not much is currently known about Breaking Rust, but the artist's bio on Linktree reads: “Music for the fighters and the dreamers.”

    Breaking Rust also has a profile on Instagram, which boasts over 35,000 followers and is filled with images of a melancholy looking man, wearing a cowboy hat in various settings, including at a phone booth, walking on a road, and sitting in the rain.

    As of publication time, Breaking Rust has more than 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify where it is a verified artist. On YouTube, it has over 23,000 subscribers, and the video for the song "Livin' on Borrowed" Time has amassed 4.4 million views over the four weeks since it was first uploaded.

    Rick Beato describes how this claim, of #1 country song, is untrue. It is nowhere near the top of the country charts. What it tops is digital music sales, which Rick says is a small market. Says the rating represents 3000 x $1.00 sales, which would be a cheap way for a vested interest to generate all this hype.

    He also trashes the song.

    Top comment (of 10,773, in 4 days) trashes country music itself:

    In all fairness, Country top 10 has sounded like AI slop for 10 years.

    Music is one area of human expression that is most revealing, I will no doubt be accused of holding elitist views here but it occurs to me that true musical discernment is actually quite rare among the population, it is true that only a percentage of high school kids ever succeed with the classic musical aptitude tests, these measure your ability to identify pitch, also determine what is a synthetic tone V.S an acoustically generated tone. The sheer success of 'schlock' music in our society has always been an indication of just how primitive the average music listener's discernment truly is (did I really say that?) - It is always the case that musical aptitude is the great separator between human beings, we musicians have always known that true musical ability is an indication of more advanced development, if someone is musically inclined chances are they are intellectually above average in other areas also. AI music is instantly recognizable to the accomplished musician, but not to the 'Normie' so much. I think that musical discernment is an interesting means of differentiating the human condition. I don't think A.I will ever be able to replace human composers/songwriters & performers, but there is always a market for 'Schlock music' don't you think?

    I think you’re right, that AI will not supplant human creativity in the various arts, at least in the near term. Longer term, 15-25 years, I can imagine that we might succumb to a deluge of machine dictates. … Until the sky rains down fire, then we will be free to create again, music sounding from our voices and our sequestered instruments. From caves, natural resonance, and with all sorts of life stories to tell.

    Not sure if anyone has mentioned the porn yet. Kinda taboo subject I guess

    My experience so far? Not good, the porn can get really gross.... I suppose I'm kind of biased. I said I wanted to see doggie style and it showed me a girl having sex with a dog

    Hey petra. Since doggie-style is not necessarily a porno thing, I suggest that you frame the prompt better. AI just wants to give you what you want.

    Please report results of your further quiries. ~8D

    Something to think about, related to our good doggos’ loving and loved status as “Man’s best friend”.

    I did get many porn results for doggie style! There was just one picture with an actual dog.
    I won't be doing any further queries as I'm done experimenting with it, I was just curious and thought I should share.
