[...] If being a singer is suddenly seen as a job that pays below the minimum wage, and if that's the reason somebody doesn't want to be a singer any more, good riddance, they won't be missed.

Weird direction to go in but, OK.

Literally 99.999% of all the musicians who ever lived, made zero money from it. The reason people pick up a guitar is because they enjoy it and they want to learn. It's never because they want to make a career out of it. And having fun is literally the only valid reason to become a guitarist.

Y'know, I do understand all of this. Not sure why you feel the need to spell this out. So many of the bands I saw live never even got signed. Of the ones that did get signed, probably 80% of those never got past their first little EP. I've lost count of the number of gigs I've been to where a band performed in front of maybe 10 - 20 people ... and two of those people were bar staff waiting to start their shift, lol. I'm fully aware that throughout most of human history most people made their own music in their own home. See Paul McCartney.

We really need to stop worrying about how Taylor Swift will make her next hundred million.

People are passionate about music.

I'm aware of that. Having been passionate about music since I was 3 yo, yes, I understand that.

R1chard said:
It's only recently that people have started to be passionate about the music industry. And I find that bizarre.

Who the **** is passionate about the music industry? If that's what you got from my posts ... actually, I'm speechless ...

We can agree on this, at least.

Fair enough. But in this thread (and others), instead of talking about whether AI music is any good, it seems to devolve into "but the estate will lose out on royalties!"

Great. We're on exactly the same page.

Seemingly a lot of people are. I never cease to be amazed by how many people bang on about "song x has just set a new record for the longest time at #1 on the charts", or trying to come up with new ideas to make the sharing ratio fairer.
 
My biggest dream is about fans, creating music video for Unbreakable song using AI! That would be right thing to do! We already know the script, how Michael wanted this video look like. We know about Notorious BIG hologram plans. So just imagine what we can do with it!

Starlight mini model from Topaz is now available locally. It is slow (over an hour for this 1 minute clip) Figured I'd test on the HQ yet compressed Tokyo '87 snippet. (Still needs improvement with faces lol)
Brisbane '87

Close-up shots with a decent source seem to give the best results.

Found this site that uses "smart removal" for watermarks. I decided to give it the ultimate Logo test...

Free tier only allows 5s clips so I stitched some together for this example. Curious what you guys think of the results compared to current methods. It seems "cleaner".
The site is called VMake If you want to test it out.

Only realised after the fact that one of the photographers at kingvention was lounis himself, if I knew that beforehand I would have confronted him myself 🤣

Here's a raw output test from V-Make for APOM ending (ignore the audio de-sync, I don't know what happened there lol) They don't accept .VOB so I had to mux to mp4.

Interesting, not too bad actually. Maybe de-interlacing the vob embedded mpg first (QTGMC) can do the trick?
(vob -> deninterlace and export as mpg or mp4 or even better prores, then running this ai model).

I'm out of the loop and only familiar with Topaz Video AI, though.

Yeah, but we do know that it wasn't him who slapped that big ass logo onto said footage?!

Well… he slapped it on it but underneath his big logo there was the „not for broadcast“ logo.

We could make a mini series on the Lounis-saga lmao. He's gotta be the most infamous figure in MJ forum history 😂.
That logo is embedded in MJ lore forever.

Edit: I'll be there test (seemed to struggle a bit on this one, I wish this tool was local)

Sadly, even on paid tier only 300mb size limit.

Just want to apologise for anyone i might've upset over the MIB situation, i think i just felt as though the track "couldn't" be real because of who was behind the leak, rather than the song itself, even if its insane that its the only MJ track from that era that has no tape warple.

Well, i knew this was going to happen one day.. that's why i tried to explain you (private messages) that you are on the wrong path with this but you didn't wanna listen. Also not sure if you missed this but i was not behind the leak of MiB or Street. I do not leak stuff. I was just one of the persons who got this tracks months before. But anyways..

edit: i still am very interested to know WHO hacked my account with that "proton" email.
