![]() ![]() It’s therefore no surprise that Mixlr’s terms of service are filled with references to it being a “host/service provider” or a “conduit”, therefore protected by safe harbour, and that users must have the permission of copyright holders for any material that they broadcast or upload. That said, the first thing that struck me when I began looking into Mixlr is the issue of copyright: DJ sets and live acts (to a lesser degree) are often filled with music whose copyright is owned by a third-party. As DJ sets tend to be quite lengthy, this could soon add up, although many artists will be glad to do away with the interruption of audio ads that other services rely on or the high costs and complexity of setting up their own streaming server. In terms of revenue, each user gets an introductory number of live streaming minutes and unlimited bandwidth for playback, after which they can buy top up minutes, such as £4.99 for a further 4 hours. Live performances can also be uploaded, archived, and tagged (including location), as well as sent to a SoundCloud account, a service that Mixlr both complements and potentially competes with. Comprising of a Mac-only client (although a Windows and iPhone app is planned), users can plug-in any audio feed to their Mac and begin live streaming, pushing out a URL of their feed via Twitter, Facebook and MySpace or to share in other ways. In its current incarnation, Mixlr is a pretty simple offering, although that’s partly by design. The service, founded by London-based Rob Watson (a recent graduate of the Music Informatics department at the University of Sussex), is currently in a closed beta, although TechCrunch Europe has 200 invites to give away to readers. That change - along with Browsing - is rolling out this week, OpenAI says.Mixlr, a sort-of UStream for audio, wants to make it easy for DJs and bands to share and stream live performances to fans. In other, less controversial ChatGPT app news, tapping on a search result now takes you directly to the respective point in the conversation. But the problem with ChatGPT's new Browsing feature is, when Bing inevitably slips up, users won't have any alternatives to choose from. Microsoft undoubtedly continues to improve Bing's algorithms on the back end. ![]() More recently, a Stanford study showed evidence that Bing's top search results contained an "alarming" amount of disinformation. The business motivations are obvious - OpenAI has a close partnership with Microsoft, which has invested over $10 billion in the startup - but Bing is far from the be-all and end-all of search engines.īack in 2011, an analysis found that Bing was potentially unfairly serving more Microsoft-related results than Google links. Prior to it, asking ChatGPT questions like "Who won the 2023 March Madness women's tournament?" wouldn't yield anything particularly useful - or correct.īut limiting ChatGPT's search capabilities to Bing seems just short of a user-hostile move. Browsing - which Microsoft and OpenAI previously announced would arrive sometime this year, first on the web - certainly makes ChatGPT a more useful assistant, particularly for research. ![]()
