ur not my mom u cant tell me what 2 do

Hey everyone, this one is already in the WB issue tracker. Tim is a busy guy, but we've been collecting the issues that have cropped up in the site update for him to knock out when he finds the time. You can see known issues and add anything else you spot here: https://github.com/weeklybeats/issues/issues/8

In the meantime, as mentioned, you can manually quote if necessary, using the following format:

Maybe it's a bit fatalistic, but there's not really anything we can do to stop it so I'm not sure its worth worrying about. There is an ethical concern when it comes to neural netwwork-based generation for sure, but its indistinguishable from pieces not using it, or using "traditional" random-number-generator-type generative techniques (which are typically quite popular in niche music communities like this - hello eurorack people!). The argument whether a piece of music is truly "yours" if you used another song's chord progression, or generated part of it, or accidentally used a melody that was in your brain but is only slightly different from one that already exists has raged for decades and will rage more.

The key thing, I think, is that there is no value to anybody in uploading a track that was rendererd wholesale from one of these new fangled "prompt a song" AI music generators, so I trust that people won't bother to do it (and those that do are lost to us already anyway).

I fucked it up this week and didn't participate in my own damn prompt! I will catch up with this on a later week, but I'm looking forward to listening to what everyone did! If you didn't remember to tag your track, do so, so we can find it!

Yet another bump for anyone on the forum who isn't on the Discord. Come and hang out!

If you guys are creating in 2021 come on down to the Discord and share it with us, the server is much more quiet in the off years but we still chat and share what we're working on! Link's on top right of the site.

ITT: User doesn't realise that by streaming the song people are downloading it anyway.
