This is not at all unique to AI. Reminds me of some of the samples from this track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Uu6mW3y5Iw (which is a sick beat) which I looked up and paste here:

"In the meantime, a race of human-looking aliens contacted the U.S. Government. This alien group warned us against the aliens that were orbiting the Equator and offered to help us with our spiritual development. They demanded that we dismantle and destroy our nuclear weapons as the major condition. They refused to exchange technology citing that we were spiritually unable to handle the technology which we then possessed. They believed that we would use any new technology to destroy each other. This race stated that we were on a path of self-destruction and we must stop killing each other, stop polluting the Earth, stop raping the Earth's natural resources, and learn to live in harmony."

How long til USA uses this to start a prion weapons program?

Maybe syncthing?

I love 💕 BitTorrent

My novice take: the waveforms on the right are sufficient to recreate analog stereo.

Digital audio signals are fundamentally represented by a series of numbers with a frequency corresponding to a fixed sample rate. For example: 16-bit unsigned integers at 44.1kHz. Each number is a sample and represents only a magnitude/intensity in time, forming a time domain waveform. Tones and pitches, and everything else one can hear are represented by these numbers in varying arrangements. Check out the waveform for a sine or triangle tone: the waveforms literally depict those shapes.

The optical analog waveform is encoding the same information as the sampled digital one described above. I'm not sure of the mechanism by which an optical system translates the analog waveform into sound, however.
