2024.05.19 01:49 DoctorAltaria Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard And Soft (2024) ~rating~

1. Skinny oooh i love the guitars. when she sings "still cry... cry..." it reminds me of "i love you" from "when we all fall asleep where do we go?". i love the instrumental outro and how it transitions to the next track! 8.6/10
2. Lunch the lyrics are so cute! i love the switch up in the sonics at 2:22! 8.8/10
3. Chihiro the chorus and refrain are so infectious. i love how she sings "meee~". the bridge is sooo good i love the instrumentals there. the postchorus and outro is so eargasmic. i love this track so much. 10/10
4. Birds of a Feather oh the instrumentals are so good. oh the refrain, chorus, and postchorus are so good. i love this song it hurts!!! 10/10
5. Wildflower the guitars are nice. the vocal layering is so good. the lyrics hurt like hell. 8.8/10
6. The Greatest the guitar plucking is scratching a part of my brain and i like it. with more listens, the guitar plucking will be something i'll be looking for each time, kinda like how i feel with taylor swift's "willow" and "ivy". the sonic switch up at 3:14 is so so sooo good it's kinda like demi lovato's "don't forget" switch up. 10/10
7. L'Amour de ma vie the first half feels so chill but so addicting. the second chorus hits sooo different and so good with each replay!!! the switch up on part 2 of the song sounds so cool. would've really preferred these two to have been separated honestly. i liked part 1 better. 10/10
8. The Diner oh the instrumentals at the beginning sound so vintage like something you'd hear in those old movies. this sounds so addicting with that bass at the back! this might be an underrated opinion but i like the echoing vocal layer. 10/10
9. Bittersuite it's an okay song for me. the instrumental outro is so addicting though! 7.4/10
10. Blue i really really really love how she references the other songs in the album, similar to her song "goodbye" in "when we all fall asleep where do we go". i love the voice pitch-down at 3:26 like damnnnnnn. idk but this track (for me) reflects the album cover a lot. 10/10
this album sounds so good and i love how concise it is with just ten tracks. with some tracks being more than five minutes, i already felt like i went on a journey. this sounds like album of the year for me, so far! off the bat, i'll give it 9.6/10! actual average is 9.3/10

2024.05.18 22:28 lawrencedun2002 Here's how a makeup artist from Springfield collaborated with Gypsy Rose Blanchard in LA

Alexis Oakley has done makeup for Emma Stone, Paris Hilton, Demi Lovato, and Kris Jenner, but her work has never garnered as much attention as when she "glammed" Gypsy Rose Blanchard two weeks ago.
Oakley, a Springfield native, met with the newfound celebrity May 1, when Blanchard was in Los Angeles for a red carpet event promoting her new Lifetime docuseries, "Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up." Oakley met Blanchard in her hotel room, where she did her makeup and the two created social media content together.
Oakley and Blanchard had about two hours to do hair and makeup and one hour to create social media photos and videos. They also stopped in a nearby Sephora for about an hour to shop together. Oakley has posted more than nine videos on her TikTok and Instagram from the collaboration, which have garnered more than 70 million impressions, she said. She also gained more than 250,000 followers on TikTok, almost overnight. As of Wednesday, Oakley has more than 490,600 followers on TikTok.
"I've never gained so many followers from anyone before," Oakley told the News-Leader on Wednesday. "Obviously, I've worked with traditional celebrities ... and a tag can help my career, for sure, but the Gypsy Rose Effect is unlike anything."
Connecting with Gypsy
The collaboration began back in December 2023, a few days after Blanchard was released from the Chillicothe Correctional Center, where she served an eight-year sentence for conspiring to kill her mother Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard" with her then-boyfriend Nick Godejohn in 2015.
Blanchard was released from prison Dec. 28 and on Dec. 30, Oakley posted a TikTok video of her setting up her makeup kit with the caption, "Clearing my schedule in case Gypsy Rose wants glam." The video was a part of a trend where TikTokers made videos of them "clearing their schedules" to do specific activities with Blanchard. As of Wednesday, Oakley's video had more than 454,200 views.
Though the video garnered more engagement than her other content, Oakley said she didn't think much of it. However, she was genuinely interested in doing Blanchard's makeup.
"After that, I saw that she was doing press in New York and getting her hair and makeup done and I was like, 'Okay, she's about to start being a glam girl, how can I get my name in there?'" Oakley recalled. "I DMed (direct messaged) her a million times (on Instagram), but obviously she wasn't seeing anything because I think she got 12 million followers overnight."
Oakley decided to take it a step further and began sifting through the list of accounts Blanchard followed on Instagram, which at the time was about 100.
"I was just looking for someone who was maybe a manager, publicist or friend," Oakley continued. "I ended up finding a few girls who worked on the Lifetime team and DMed them and said, 'Oh my gosh, I saw Gypsy is doing press. How can I glam her? Can you connect me? Who should I reach out to?' and they were like, 'Oh my gosh, we actually saw your TikTok.'" In January, Lifetime aired a six-episode docuseries called "The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard," which chronicled the history of Blanchard's case and some of her life in prison.
After connecting with members of Lifetime, it was about four months before Oakley heard from them again, which she said is typical when working with celebrities. Then out of nowhere Oakley received the call: Are you available? Gypsy is coming to Los Angeles.
Four hours and a lasting friendship
According to Oakley, Blanchard was only in Los Angeles for about 24 hours. Ahead of the Lifetime red carpet event, Blanchard visited Santa Monica Pier — it was her first time seeing the ocean — and did some staple California activities, like trying In-N-Out Burger. Then, Blanchard and Oakley met up for hair and makeup in Blanchard's hotel room.
"We just connected right away," Oakley said of Blanchard. "I filmed the entire process, which I typically try to do with my clients ... She was so sweet, such an easy client and just so excited to learn about makeup and just asking questions the entire time: 'What's this product? How do you apply this? Why are you putting it there? What does this do? Have I been doing this wrong?' (She) was very, very eager to learn, which is so fun for me."
During hair and makeup, Oakley learned that Blanchard had never been to a Sephora, so she asked Blanchard's team if they would have enough time to run by a nearby mall. Fortunately, they were able to work it into her schedule.
The two bought an array of makeup products, including moisturizer, foundation and concealer, blush, mascara, eyebrow pencils and lip liner.
"It was just so sweet and it honestly made me so emotional taking her as she'd never been before, she's 32 years old and doesn't really know how to do her makeup," Oakley said. "Watching her light up when I would tell her about certain products ... was just really, really cool."
Since Blanchard's visit to Los Angeles, Oakley said the two have been texting back and forth daily. And while nothing is confirmed, Oakley said Blanchard told her that she would like for her to do her makeup for her wedding, when that day comes.
Getting started and what's next
Oakley got her start doing prom and bridal makeup in her parent's basement in high school, but she knew she was interested in more sophisticated work.
A few weeks after graduating from New Covenant Academy in 2016, Oakley moved to Los Angeles at the age of 18. Upon arriving, she enrolled at Make-Up Designory, a five-month professional make-up training program.
"Two days before I graduated Make-Up Designory, I landed a job as an assistant for a really huge celebrity makeup artist. That was kind of that moment for me where I was like, 'Okay, I think this is supposed to be what I do." The makeup artist was Rachel Goodwin, who has worked with Emma Stone, Laura Dern, Jennifer Lawrence, Zendaya and countless other A-list celebrities.
Oakley said she spent about four years working as an assistant for various celebrity makeup artists before establishing herself independently. The first two celebrities she worked with on her own were Paris Hilton and Jessica Alba, both in the same week.
More recently, Oakley has enjoyed collaborating with social media content creators including Tanya Mongeau, Trisha Paytas and Brianna LaPaglia.
When it comes to Oakley's relationship with Blanchard, she said she hopes to stay in contact and do her makeup anytime she's in Los Angeles.
As for future clients, Oakley said her dream celebrity that she would like to work with is Hailey Bieber. She also hopes to host more in-person events like meet-and-greets and masterclasses.

2024.05.18 09:51 deannews-net An AI uprising awaits us: Elon Musk's company unveils new project

https://preview.redd.it/zbmlcyye451d1.jpg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=073279e328b1bd58ed7a0db083ea833020362974
Elon Musk wants to "understand the true nature of the universe". At least that's what he said on his website announcing the launch of his new artificial intelligence company. The only question on his mind is "What impact will this development have on society?".
Musk reportedly founded xAI in Nevada and purchased "about 10,000 graphics processing units" - the equipment needed to develop and run advanced artificial intelligence systems. The company has not disclosed the source of its funding, but the Financial Times reported in April that Musk was in talks to secure funding from investors in SpaceX and Tesla, the companies he heads. The company hasn't revealed many details about its intentions, but said on its website that its team will participate in a conference call at Twitter Spaces to answer questions. xAI said the artificial intelligence company will work closely with Twitter, Tesla and others to achieve its mission.

xAI and Musk's artificial intelligence story

The xAI team, led by Musk, includes former employees of leading artificial intelligence companies OpenAI and DeepMind, as well as Microsoft and Tesla. Among the consultants is Dan Hendricks, director of the Center for Artificial Intelligence Security. The Center for Artificial Intelligence Security has a strong focus on security.
In May of this year, the organization released a statement signed by hundreds of AI scientists and experts, as well as executives from some of the leading AI companies, saying that reducing the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal risks such as pandemics and nuclear war. Demis Hassabis, of DeepMind, Inc. Hassabis, OpenAI Sam Altman and Anthropic Dario Amodei were among the signatories. Musk did not sign the Center for AI Safety's statement, but he did sign an open letter published in March by the Future of Life Institute calling on AI companies to "immediately suspend training AI systems more powerful than GPT-4 for at least six months".

Musk's involvement in investments

Musk is one of the founding presidents of OpenAI, along with OpenAI Altman. Musk was part of a group of investors, including Altman, Greg Brockman, Reid Hoffman, Jessica Livingston, Peter Thiel, Amazon Web Services, Infosys and YC Research, who committed $1 billion in funding to OpenAI in 2015. Musk has stated that he contributed $100 million of that $1 billion.

Quitting the campaign

The exact circumstances of Musk's departure are not entirely clear. According to an OpenAI blog post and Musk's subsequent tweets, he left OpenAI to avoid a conflict of interest when Tesla began to focus more on artificial intelligence. Semafor later reported that Musk offered to lead OpenAI but left after the offer was rejected. The FT said the reason for Musk's departure was conflicts with other board members and employees over OpenAI's approach to AI security.
Since leaving the company, Musk has criticized OpenAI's direction. In an interview with Fox News' Tucker Carlson in April this year, Musk said: "They're now closed-source, clearly commercial and closely tied to Microsoft". The partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI is worth billions of dollars: OpenAI gets access to Microsoft's cloud computing in exchange for OpenAI's artificial intelligence systems, which are used in Microsoft products.

Musk's outrage

In March, Musk wrote on Twitter, "I still don't understand how a non-profit organization I donated about $100 million to turned into a for-profit organization with a market capital of $30 billion dollars." OpenAI has previously said it went from a nonprofit organization to a "hybrid of for-profit and nonprofit" because the computational demands of training advanced artificial intelligence systems meant OpenAI needed to raise more funds than a typical nonprofit organization.
In his interview with Carlson, Musk also said he was concerned that AI models would be trained to be "politically correct" and promised to create Truth GPT, which he said would be the ultimate truth-seeking AI.

The risks of advanced AI systems

In the past, Musk has often talked about the risks of advanced AI systems, and in an interview, he also said he is creating a new AI organization to prevent an "AI utopia". However, experts and researchers, including xAI consultant Hendricks, have expressed concern that adding another well-funded company to the AI ecosystem could further fuel the race to develop powerful AI systems at the expense of efforts to secure them.
In response to reports that Musk may start a new AI company, Hendricks wrote that "the emergence of major new AI developers could increase competitive pressures" and that "the desire to be first could lead to sacrifices by players, especially when it comes to trade-offs between security and competitiveness".
Musk also reiterated that his approach to creating safe AI will be based on the spirit of AI truth-seeking during a discussion with Congressmen Ro Khanna and Mike Gallagher in the Twitter space. Musk said: In terms of safety AI, AI with extreme curiosity, AI that seeks to understand the universe, will be pro-human. From the point of view that human is more interesting than no human.

Commentary from the head of AI policy

Jess Whittlestone, head of AI policy at the UK-based think tank Center for Long-Term Resilience, told TIME via email that this is "an unorthodox (and, it seems to me, rather naive) approach to AI security. I'm not sure you can say what it means for AI to be "maximally curious," and it's a huge leap to assume that means AI will support humans. The whole problem is that we can't fully understand these AI models or predict their behavior, and I don't see Musk's approach as solving that problem".
Elon Musk has always been known for his radical and innovative thinking, which is often ground down by those who look at the world from a more practical perspective. We have the opportunity to look at this issue from different angles and draw our own conclusions and form our own attitude to these innovations. Time will show how it will affect the future of society.

2024.05.16 09:00 Rosie_Blink Bm new album. Thoughts?

I’m designing a album for BM what do u think?

Thank u next - Ariana Grande
Monsters - All Time Low, ft. Demi Lovato and blackbear
Sheesh remix
Monsters (Extended ver)
7 Rings - Ariana Grande
Ddu-du Ddu-du - BP
Drama - æspa

I think they should rename Monsters-Demi Lovato ver. to “In my Head “ or smthing. And they should shorten D4
They should call it “B x M”
Thank u next and Monsters - Demi L. should be the title tracks and D4 should be the intro and the rest are b-sides
Edit: I forgot to mention this but this isn’t real. I just made it for fun!
