For context, one experiment showing that classical black-box optimization did better than Autoresearch: https://github.com/ferreirafabio/autoresearch-automl

One technical problem with doing this on the header level is that SPAs will fetch content gradually with multiple requests, so the browser _and_ said applications would need to account for filtered content being fetched halfway through the page load.

A more cynical take is that policymakers either actively want or are OK with mandating digital ID-based authentication in service of age controls, so any kind of privacy-preserving age controls will be either treated as horribly onerous or a safety risk when someone figures out how they can be circumvented.

(Also worth noting that Myst Online is still operating at https://mystonline.com/en/ !)

That attempt officially failed because the UK failed to inform the EU about it, but I suspect it was also much harder to sell people on having to buy "porn passes" than on "just" kicking kids off phones

Thus already doing much better than the average Suno producer

E: More seriously, this strikes me as a motte-and-bailey where "Artists cannot list every single influence they have or provide an explicit motivation for every single creative choice" is treated the same as "artists cannot list influences or justify creative choices at all"

For me, one key difference is that I can cite my stylistic influences and things I tried, while (to my knowledge) commercial musical generation models specifically avoid doing that, and most don't provide chord/lead sheets either -- I would find it genuinely sad to talk to a musician about their arrangement/composition choices, only to find they couldn't

But we also live with arbitrary lines elsewhere, as with spam filters? People generally don't want ads for free Viagra, and spam filters remain the default without making "no marketing emails" a hard rule.

The problem isn't that music Transformers can't be used artfully [1] but that they allow a kind of spam which distribution services aren't really equipped to handle. In 2009, nobody would have stopped you from producing albums en masse with the generative tech of the day, Microsoft's Songsmith [2], but you would have had a hard time selling them - but hands-off distribution services like DistroKid and improved models makes music spam much more viable now than it was previously.

Admittedly a little tempting to see how the 5070 Ti Super shakes out!
