In turn, the then 26-year-old had grown up in the States tuning in to UK radio shows. After his set, he approached Mick Jagger and asked him to let him know if there was ever an opportunity for his band to play in England. “Three months later, they sent us eight first class round-trip tickets,” …

Social media users expressed their concern for the president (Image: undefined) A video making the rounds of President Donald Trump at the swearing-in ceremony of the new Department of Homeland Security Secretary highlights his “discoloured” hands and “drooping face.” Responding to the video, users claim, “The way he’s looking around makes it seem like he knows something is happening with his body,” according to a popular tweet, whilst others note that Trump was speaking as if his hands are “heavy” and he can’t raise them. Another user observed that Trump’s “arms look like balloons,” as he spoke. This isn’t the first time this month that the public has raised concerns about Trump’s potential health issues, all of which have been dismissed by the White House. Posting the video clip, journalist Aaron Rupar commented on X: “If a guy next to you at the bar had his eyes rolling back and his head jerking around like this, you’d politely alert the bartender that a customer is in distress.

Apple Music Rolling Out Disclosure Tags for AI-Made Songs

Published by skeptic

Apple Music is rolling out a new metadata system called Transparency Tags, which indicates when AI has been used in the creation of music hosted on the platform. According to Music Business Worldwide, Apple sent a newsletter to industry partners on Wednesday to explain how it will roll out the new set of metadata. The system covers four categories including artwork, track, composition (lyrics), and music video. Labels and distributors can begin applying the tags immediately. Apple describes the tags as optional for now, noting that if omitted, no AI is assumed. Apple said it defers to content providers to determine what qualifies as AI-generated, and that it treats the tags similarly to genres, credits, and other existing metadata. The company describes it as a first step toward industry-wide transparency around AI-generated music. Proper tagging of content is the first step in giving the music industry the data and tools needed to develop thoughtful policies around AI,” Apple said in the newsletter, “and we believe labels and distributors must take an active role in reporting …
