I've also occasionally been messing with AI music generation. I started out on a site called Riffusion, which was free (at first, of course), mostly writing my own original lyrics and using them to generate parodic songs to amuse myself, friends, and family. Some of these seemed like they might gain an appreciate audience outside of that small inner circle, but I struggled with how to present them more publicly.
Now, the image and video engines have advanced to the point that this is not only possible, but increasingly easy. Thus, I present to you the travails of Wolf Blitzer's shoe (after it was knocked off his foot during his rescue/escape from the shooting at the 2026 White House Correspondents Dinner).
