Hundreds of people attended a funeral. All normal except because the deceased was an AI model that had been removed

The artificial intelligence boom is making us live moments of the most curious. There is people falling in love with an AIothers go to her as to a psychologist or for “Risheat” a loved one. What we needed to see was to celebrate a funeral for a retired model and it is just what happened a few days ago in San Francisco, where more than 200 people gathered to give the last goodbye to Claude 3 Sonnet. The deceased. July 21, Anthropic announced that he withdrew several modelsamong which was Claude 3 Sonnetprotagonist of this funeral picturesque. The model was announced in March 2024 and stood out for its balance between performance and efficiency. Together with him, Anthropic also withdrew Claude 1 and 2, in addition to confirming that Claude 3 Opus would disappear in January 2026. The funeral. It was held last Saturday in a warehouse in the Soma district of San Francisco and more than 200 people attended. They count on This Wired report that the decoration did not go unnoticed: a giant tentacle hanging from the ceiling and several mannequins with an aesthetic and represented different Claude models. In the center of the room he lay the mannequin that represented Claude 3 Sonnet and was surrounded by the most diverse offerings: from the classic flowers to a bottle of ranch sauce. Devotion. It sounds very absurd and clearly there was an aura of irony and humor in the event, but there were also emotional moments and even say in Wired that some attendees cried. Openai has the most popular chatbot, but Claude de Anthropic has a very devout fans community. The reason would be that Anthropic has managed to imbue a warm and friendly personality in his chatbot that has conquered many users. Exists a website where you can see ranking of the users who use Claude most and there are even people doing FAN ART With the company’s logo. Emotional connection Establishing affective links with a machine is not something new. In 1966 it was created Eliza, the first chatbotand many people who interacted with her ended up telling her personal things, as if she were another human, they called him the Eliza Effect. With the AI boom we are seeing how these links become popular and the success of apps such as Replika either Character.AI They are a clear example of this trend that increasingly adds more adherents. Attending the funeral of an AI sounds like a pretty fun plan to spend some time on the weekend, but developing an emotional connection with a chatbot is not always positive. The dark side. There are people whose connection with these chatbots brushes addiction to the point that Online support groups are being createdto alcoholics anonymous. In This study They analyzed how the use of chatbots affects our mental health and, although at the entrance it can have a positive effect, in the long run it is associated with higher levels of social isolation and emotional dependence. The experts alert of the risk of confusing the empathy of a machine with real empathy; A chatbot is always available to speak already It tells us what we want to hearThis causes a false sensation of empathy that can negatively affect our ability to connect with other human beings.

More than 2.5 million people have attended a concert by Lady Gaga. It is not excellent news for music

If someone wondered if THE FIASCO AT CUP OF ‘JOKER: Folie à Deux’ I was going to have a negative impact on Lady Gaga’s career, this weekend the artist has been in charge of demonstrating that she has not been beating a worldwide record: about two and a half million peopleaccording to sources from Lady Gaga, they gathered in Rio de Janeiro for a direct artist. It is the largest amount of audiences ever gathered for a female singer, thus exceeding the figure that Madonna had previously held with 1.6 million people. Free abracadabra. The artist played on the beach of Copacabana before these two and a half million spectators, and came to thank the presence of the crowd live. In the previous days, the fever by the singer, who has been preparing the event since last Tuesday, has taken over Brazil. Lady Gaga had been seen for the territory for 12 years, and took the opportunity to review all her great successes, including some of her last supervants, ‘Mayhem’. After being a sign in Coachella and giving this historic concert, the singer addresses Singapore. Shortly after the world tour will begin to promote his latest album. More macroconcientes. The echo that Lady Gaga’s concert has had nothing strange: the macroconciente is, paradoxically, The new music expression unit. Media mastodon with a media deployment only within reach of the largest and that are the musical equivalent of Marvel’s-evidence. Its profitability is beyond doubt: in Spain in 2024, live music entered 25.32% more than the previous year, 725.6 million euros. This upward traction is only possible in terms of great events and concerts in giant enclosures. The authentic business. We can jump to a global scale: According to Pollstar dataonly the 100 most successful tours in the world (that is, all macroconcientes) reached a joint collection of 9.5 billion dollars. If we take into account that the music industry globally billed 29.6 billion dollars in 2024we can get an idea of ​​how important this part of the business is: practically a third of the total. Let’s add another nuance: in 2023, concerts and macroconcientes They generated 304 million euros in Spainbut its real economic impact was 2.2 billion euros. The figures are multiplied in proportion to global scale, and it is understood why the industry is interested in supporting the great events, however expensive they are. The roller of the macroconciente. Macrofestivals and macroconcierts have become a completely autonomous monster and outside the industry movements. Undoubtedly, this new normality of the industry has affected, above all, the smallest concerts and the most modest proposals. As Cruz saysauthor of the ‘macrofestival’ essay, “the penalty is that the possibility of enjoying live music is only in enclosures with 40,000 people, video screens, overlapping groups. We should be able to have other ways to consume live music because I believe that this does not generate public for music, but in any case for more festivals.” More money does not imply growth. Or said with figures, Pollstar numbers of 2024 they throw a paradox. While concert revenues increased by number 8.7 % compared to the same period of 2023 and the number of shows increased by 16.7 %, which suggested an expanding industry, that growth is not uniform. On the other hand, the average gross income per show fell 6.9 % and the average number of tickets sold by show decreased by 14.9 % (what does this mean: that in a year the tickets have risen notoriously at the price). Obstacles for the rooms. All these figures point to a domination of macroeventos and macroconciertes in the musical panorama. And it is not necessary to go to the specific numbers: in Madrid, institutional efforts are turned into the Reopening of Santiago Bernabeu and in a fight with Barcelona to see who organizes the most gigantic event. Meanwhile, legislation for small rooms and events is extremely demandingwith very noticeable capacity limitations, and the most modest concert organizers find continuous obstacles to access specific subsidies or to guarantee the survival of their businesses. The artist loses. The artists themselves in groups not only small (who often have to pay rates for the rental of concert rooms), but of medium impact and sometimes international reach, they lose with the comparison. British Kate Nash talked about how after a medium -sized room tour I could lose 50,000 pounds. A few weeks ago, the group of Wales the peasants! He took off the costs of turning out of his country, and no matter how successful they had, the accounts They hardly square. The Spaniards Viva Belgrade talked about how La Riviera and Tokyo Salas filled and They couldn’t live from music. They are just some examples that give away a situation that may not be reversed. The monster of the macroconciertes devours the most modest scene, and it is not so much a popular impact problem (two and a half million people!) Or income for the industry, but of something so simple and essential for the survival of music as there are still groups that compose new songs, and that make the medium beyond the castle of fireworks.
