Billboard got access to Suno’s investment pitch deck.
It revealed that Suno has spent $32 million on compute, and $2,000 on training data.
Let that sink in.

I love Christmas and normally I'd be getting so excited right about now, but this year I'm a little down because it's our first holiday since we lost Fergus. I'm hoping I can spread some cheer and regain a little spirit myself by raising some funds for our local shelter! givebutter.com/n5l31M

This is also part of why they want AI so bad, btw. To turn all current and former stars into immortal slaves, forcing them to say whatever propaganda they wish, all while never having to pay another human to do art ever again. This sort of shit is the stopgap.

Trump‘s decisive defeat in reference to the Epstein case will force Putin‘s hand to extract from Trump possible concessions as soon and fast as possible. Putin and his circle will most certainly fear that Trump‘s time could come to an end faster than thought. Expect this.

Billionaires handing money back and forth, no one creating anything except carbon in the air. Anthropic buys Nvidia chips; Nvidia gives Anthropic billions to buy even more chips; Microsoft gives Anthropic billions, which Anthropic spends on Microsoft Azure, run by Nvidia, etc. An ouroboros of shit.

I can understand asking for nuance in these discussions, but deliberately muddying the water by bringing up automation tools that people understand are not generative AI and asking for a middle ground is disingenuous. The nuanced position is that people are roundly rejecting the tech, respect that.
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.
