From us it's this time:
Artificial Intelligence: On the Way to the First Generated Hit
In the future, AIs will compose songs according to text input. Riffusion and MusicLM show the current research status, but the music lacks a bit of pep.

The second one was für #WomensDay:
1270 Female pioneers of mathematics
Against all odds, women with attitude shaped mathematics, and all too often they were not properly appreciated for it. A look at history.

Good morning and happy #Newstodon day! Since @heiseonline kicked off the day with a fascinating story on #ArtificialIntelligence, we'll continue the theme with this fascinating story on robotic prayer.
Robots are performing Hindu rituals to care for the gods -- perfectly each times. They can do it where there's a shortage of priests. But is it right?

@TheConversationUS The gods demand these rituals, but care not about who performs them? If the robot is the one doing the practice, is the robot the one that will achieve enlightenment or afterlife? This is not a place I expected to see automation take over.
“The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder... Electric Monks believed things for you, thus saving you what was becoming an increasingly onerous task, that of believing all the things the world expected you to believe.”
― Douglas Adams, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
@jaddy @sigsegv What I find interesting here is that it’s largely not about belief. You spin the prayer wheel, it releases the prayers, even if you don’t believe. So why not have the not do it faster than you ever could?
The article does get into whether the intent and belief of the programmer matter or not.
@TheConversationUS @e_urq @heiseonline @TexasObserver @damemagazine @TucsonSentinel @msfreepress @thexylom @themarkup @STAT @gbhnews @ProPublica I’m remembering a short story in which all the armies of the world were arrayed against the forces of evil for Armageddon. Religious leaders argued that they should be involved, but the generals said they knew war better. They threw their best robot missiles, robot tanks, robot planes, and robot fighters at the enemy. When the smoke cleared, the ground was littered with the wreckage of millions of robots, but the devil had been defeated. The heavens opened, the angels descended, God’s light reached down to the battlefield, and the robots all rose into the sky, whole again, and the heavens closed; with the humans left alone on earth.
@TheConversationUS @heiseonline @TexasObserver @damemagazine @TucsonSentinel @msfreepress @thexylom @themarkup @STAT @gbhnews @ProPublica This is the logical extension of prayer wheels.
@bhawthorne @TheConversationUS @heiseonline @damemagazine @TucsonSentinel @msfreepress @thexylom @themarkup @STAT @gbhnews @ProPublica I am pretty sure at least one science fiction writer (maybe many) predicted something like this
@TexasObserver @TheConversationUS @heiseonline @damemagazine @TucsonSentinel @msfreepress @thexylom @themarkup @STAT @gbhnews @ProPublica Yup. See the reference elsewhere in the thread to the Electric Monk.
@heiseonline @damemagazine @TucsonSentinel @msfreepress @thexylom @themarkup @STAT @gbhnews @ProPublica @TheConversationUS we're still working on our caffeine so thank you for kicking it off! We appreciate y'all 
Happy #Newstodon Friday, friends!
For #Newstodon Friday, we'll share McHam Investigative Fellow @josephinelee's report on the funding behind radicalization of young people. Powerful right-wing groups are investing millions into teaching kids to hate #LGBTQIA+ folks, oppose abortions, and mobilize against progressive causes: https://www.texasobserver.org/christian-youth-radicalization-nationalism-texas/

We have 2 things to share for #Newstodon Friday, hosted this week by @TexasObserver :
1: GBH News reporter Liz Neisloss has long been covering the situation in Everett, a Boston suburb where racist behavior by white elected officials has led to one city councillor stepping down, and now the city losing a woman of color who won awards as the city's superintendent of schools: https://www.wgbh.org/news/education/2023/03/05/targeted-by-the-mayor-everett-school-superintendents-tenure-hangs-in-the-balance
#2 This delightful piece on an adventure undertaken by 4 female friends...in 1891: https://www.wgbh.org/news/local-news/2023/03/08/amateur-sleuths-unveil-the-women-behind-132-year-old-boston-harbor-adventure-journal

Good morning from California and happy #Newstodon Friday to all our friends! Can't wait to read everyone's work.
We're sharing our must-read piece from @KarlBode on America's history (and current) battle against #disinformation
"Modern propaganda is successful, in no small part, because it exhausts the public’s critical thinking capabilities"
https://www.damemagazine.com/2023/03/06/america-propaganda-disinformation/

Repetition cannot create TRUTH,
but repetition can create BELIEF.
Repeating lies, even to debunk them, can convince more people to believe the lies.
Please do NOT repeat lies, in your headlines, in your ledes, and especially not as the only text in your social media posts.
Instead, state the truth... REPEATEDLY.
@damemagazine @heiseonline @TexasObserver @TucsonSentinel @msfreepress @thexylom @themarkup @STAT @gbhnews @ProPublica @TheConversationUS @KarlBode
"the more we see something repeated, the more likely we are to believe it to be true.”
Thread about the “Illusory Truth Effect” and why it is so important NOT to repeat lies on social media (or elsewhere), even with the intention of debunking them.
I'm going to jump into #Newstodon Friday to recommend the #podcast Alphabet Boys, about #FBI infiltration of the #BlackLivesMatter movement. The first season, about a #Seattle snitch, is called "Trojan Hearse": https://alphabetboys.xyz/
In 2012, one of my first big stories as a journalist was breaking a story of undercover cops infiltrating and entrapping activists at Occupy Austin. I've seen firsthand the harm provocateurs can cause.
