I. Am. FYI app: https://will.i.am/ Harvey Mason Jr. Quotes: "The AI songs right now are generating a hundred songs per second. ... No one can tell me that AI is going to make Songs in the Key of Life or Nevermind, or Illmatic." "But as it relates to the academy right now, we don’t reward or award AI in our process. So if you're AI vocal, you're not eligible for performance." "AI is happening. There's no going back. ... Let’s make sure that it's done responsibly, ethically, maybe even morally." "If you're Bad Bunny ... but if you're the purist who wants to have complete control over their voice ... then they should be able to do that as well." "I do believe in the power of human creativity...but without some real advocating and without legislation... we would have the danger in my mind that we could slip into a place where we’re just listening to generated AI music."

  • Regina Porter on Class, Privilege, and 'Rich People Gone Away'

    Regina Porter on Class, Privilege, and 'Rich People Gone Away'
    Sep 23 2024
    What happens when a pandemic exposes the realities that wealth and privilege usually hide? Author Regina Porter stops by our show to discuss her provocative new novel, "The Rich People Have Gone Away," a title that says it all. It's a book with sharp social commentary where characters are forced to confront their own moral complexities about privilege, race, and class, set against the backdrop of COVID-19 in New York City in 2020. Porter also reveals how she builds complex characters, as well her curiousity to examine themes of personal value versus wealth. Hopefully, this episode can give you a deeper understanding of how literature, in particular this book, can help us process collective trauma and find our place in a time of crisis. Episode Summary: (2:15) - From Southern roots to New York stories: Porter's unique writing journey (7:30) - Exploring race and privilege through white-presenting character Theo Harper (14:45) - How Regina Porter brings time periods and characters to life (20:30) - Cardi B's t-shirt: Pop culture's role in Porter's character development (23:45) - Diversity in publishing: Porter shares industry trends for writers of color (27:15) - WPorter's advice for aspiring diverse writers Regina Porter Quotes: "It's heartbreaking these stories. There's a reason why... we see these stories and people are not able to coexist with their wealth and their worthiness." "Maybe my job is to pave the road for the next great writer and then my work might be rediscovered, you know, later."
