https://kyutai.org/blog/2026-07-10-muscriptor/ says We're releasing MuScriptor, the best open model for multi-instrument transcription to date, created in collaboration with Mirelo. Give it a recording: pop, classical, metal, jazz, whatever, and it transcribes the notes played by every instrument into MIDI, without needing to know in advance what instruments are present.

2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebel_Without_a_Crew explains how film maker will film, with whatever they have. AI will enable some people to make what is not financially feasible right now for a single person to do.

'Unique' movie/stories creation will continue.

And like with the rest of things AI can do, the question is more 'who's going to pay for person-made vs "algorithmically optimized AI generated story'.

Same question we have of 'AI generated code' vs 'this code was written by a person'.

https://lawshun.com/article/what-is-the-relationship-between... explains the complex relation between EU law and national law.

in a nutshell, EU law takes precedence over conflicting national laws in areas where the EU has competence.

While EU law is directly applicable or requires transposition into national law, member states retain autonomy in areas outside EU competence.

National courts are obligated to interpret domestic law in line with EU law.

National Constitutional Court/Supreme court, occasionally challenge EU law’s supremacy.

Listen as Albert & Bill will tell their tangled story of how they become Ensoniq.

homarpon Amiga 1000: Ten years ahead of its time

The IIgs had the Ensoniq DOC (ES5503): 32 oscillators allowing for ~16 stereo voices at the same time. But it only had 64K of sound RAM.

The GUS (that kickstarted alsa on linux) is based on the DOC II (ES5504), which is more or less a 16-bit version of the DOC that could address 1MB of sound sample RAM.
