1 week ago Bruce Springsteen: Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition review – fabled album falls short of expectations

(Sony Music)Rumours of the existence of E Street versions of Springsteen’s masterpiece have swirled for decades, but the reality doesn’t live up to the hypeFor the last 40-plus years, the holy grail for diehard Bruce Springsteen fans was something referred to as Electric Nebraska. The rumour circulated that there were full E Street Band versions of the songs from Springsteen’s 1982 solo acoustic release that were recorded, but remained unreleased and never leaked.Nebraska’s origin story had already made the album mythical: demos recorded in Springsteen’s bedroom got turned into a album. After spending literal years in the studio for his previous records, this time he walked in with finished songs. The cassette tape that he had carried around in his pocket got turned into a classic, five-star record of desolate modern folk songs about the dark side of the American dream. Continue reading...

2 w. ago Governments are spending billions on their own ‘sovereign’ AI technologies – is it a big waste of money?

Many US-built AI systems fall short but competing against tech giants neither easy nor cheapIn Singapore, a government-funded artificial intelligence model can converse in 11 languages, from Bahasa Indonesia to Lao. In Malaysia, ILMUchat, built by a local construction conglomerate, boasts that it “knows which Georgetown you’re referring to” – that is, the capital of Penang and not the private university in the US. Meanwhile, Switzerland’s Apertus, unveiled in September, understands when to use the Swiss German “ss” and not the German-language character “ß”.Around the world, language models like these are part of an AI arms race worth hundreds of billions of dollars mostly driven by a few powerful companies in the US and China. As giants such as OpenAI, Meta and Alibaba plough vast sums into developing increasingly powerful models, middle powers and developing countries are watching the landscape carefully, and sometimes placing their own, expensive bets.
