Upwork Update and Music

I have not written here in a few days. I would like to report that i’m doing a lot better than I was when I wrote all of those really depressing posts toward the end of last week. Sorry about that, by the way…but it’s my blog and I can write what I want, and decide it was a bit dramatic down the road.

It was a bit dramatic, maybe… I cringed when I looked back. The drama felt real though.

Anyway, I've been trying to find a remote, part-time job since… I don't know, since forever but it seems like I've actually landed one on the freelance job board known as UpWork. I passed an entry task/test to become an AI response evaluator, which allows me to move on with the complete project which can pay up to 2000$ upon completion. if you want to know what AI response evaluators do, let’s ask Pi, because I don’t feel like describing it, I’d get bored.

An AI response evaluator might analyze the responses generated by a chatbot, looking for factors such as grammatical correctness, semantic coherence, and appropriateness for the user’s query or context. Based on this analysis, the evaluator might assign a score or rating to each response, which can be used to fine-tune the AI’s language models or adjust its training data. -Pi

so that’s what i’ll be doing. I’m waiting for the next benchmark for the project, so I can get to work on it. until then, i’m a bit apprehensive about it, because I've seen so many scams, and things that don’t pan out in my quest to make money off of the internet.

The rule of thumb is “if it seems too good to be true, it definitely is”. there, that’ll keep a lot of the spam I wade through out of your inbox, if you just follow that one rule (I didn’t, always).

I’m learning so much about how to utilize these crazy thinking machines, the more I do with them, so I just throw things at the wall every day and see what sticks. like: “pretend you are a professional prompt Engineer, and rewrite this prompt”. I didn’t even want to tell anyone about that, but to me it’s too incredible to not to.

I did what I do, and put it to work making more music once I learned how to get it to act like a prompt Engineer, so I would give Gemini the jist of what I wanted to come out of my musical AI (Suno).

side note: you gotta try this thing. do yourself a favor, smoke a joint and start prompting music out of it, you’ll have a blast here’s my invite for 250 free credits:

So I get the AI output, download it and import it into another amazing piece of software known as Bandlab, where I can play virtual instruments, arrange loops and apply samples.

Side note: Bandlab is awesome, and you can send links to other people so they can collaborate with you on your tracks. I am looking for collaborators.

I wanted to share some of the choice music that came out recently:

I’m trying to come up with lyrics for that one, i’m so hooked on its chill groove.

So yes, yes…I’m doing much better.

But I could still use a little help, until this gig pans out:
