|
|
ElevenLabs Can Now Generate Complete Songs That Sound Like You.
|
|
|
ElevenLabs has launched Vocals for ElevenMusic, allowing creators to generate original songs with a consistent vocal identity. Users can upload a selection of existing songs so Music v2 learns their vocal tone, texture, and style, or upload a single voice recording through Voice to Song for a faster one-off track. Those who do not want to use their own voice can choose from the Vocal Library, while compatible Styles help keep both the musical sound and vocals consistent across projects. Uploaded voice and music samples are screened for copyright compliance.
|
|
📌 Consistent vocals solve one of the biggest challenges in AI music, making multiple tracks feel like they belong to the same artist.
|
|
⚡ Copyright screening is important as AI music tools move closer to commercial creator workflows.

🚚 CHINA · AUTONOMOUS LOGISTICS · LAST-MILE DELIVERY
|
|
China Has Put Tens of Thousands of Autonomous Delivery Vehicles on City Streets.
|
|
|
China reportedly has about 47,000 autonomous delivery vehicles in active operation across more than 300 cities, handling last-mile parcel routes on public roads. The vehicles are used by logistics networks to move packages from local depots toward homes, pickup points, and businesses. The claimed scale makes this one of the largest real-world deployments of autonomous delivery technology anywhere, although fleet figures and operational conditions can vary by operator and municipality.

🔎 REDDIT · GOOGLE · AI DATA LICENSING
|
|
Reddit Is Reportedly Rethinking Google's Access to Its Content for AI Training.
|
|
|
Reddit has reportedly discussed shutting off Google's access to its content for AI use as its 60 million dollar annual licensing agreement nears its end. The companies are said to be negotiating a potential renewal, but Reddit is reassessing whether the arrangement still benefits the platform as Google’s AI-generated search summaries reduce clicks back to publisher sites. Reddit shares fell after the report, while Google has not publicly detailed the status of negotiations.
|
|
📌 Reddit's user discussions are valuable AI training data because they contain real-world questions, opinions, and problem solving.
|
|
⚡ The dispute shows publishers are increasingly weighing AI licensing revenue against the loss of search traffic and control.
