OpenArt was proud to sponsor the AI x Creativity Summit in NYC.
The room was full of artists, studios, and brand teams who are past asking if AI belongs in creative work. They’re figuring out how. That’s exactly who OpenArt is built for.
Big thanks to @artistandthemachine for putting together a room worth being in — and to everyone who stopped by, joined the panel, and spent time with us.
Here’s the recap. 🎬
Michael Jackson famously appeared on The Simpsons in the 1991 episode Stark Raving Dad, voicing a character named Leon Kompowsky, a mental patient who believed he was Michael Jackson.
Because of label and contractual issues, Michael was credited under the fake name “John Jay Smith.” He provided the speaking voice for the character, while a soundalike singer handled the musical parts. The episode also introduced Happy Birthday Lisa, which became one of the most memorable emotional moments in the show’s history.
At the time, the appearance showed just how massive Michael Jackson’s cultural influence really was. Years later, the episode became even more talked about after it was removed from circulation following renewed debates surrounding Jackson’s legacy.
Nick Mira became one of the most influential producers in modern hip-hop by building emotional, melodic beats that helped define an entire generation of rap.
Known for his work with Juice WRLD and artists like Lil Yachty, Mira developed a reputation for instantly understanding an artist’s energy and turning rough ideas into polished hits.
That’s why moments like this are so entertaining to watch. You can literally see the chemistry between producer and artist in real time, with Nick Mira immediately catching the exact vibe Yachty is going for before the track even fully comes together.
Hi everyone! I wanted to step out into this beautiful meadow to finally introduce myself. This is me and my bunnies Bibi and Bobo – my absolute favorite companions for sunny days and magical moments like this. 🌸🐰✨
A classic engineering meme perfectly sums up real-world problem solving in the simplest way possible: “Does it move?” 🔧😂
If something shouldn’t move, the answer is duct tape. If something should move but doesn’t, the answer is WD-40. According to this humorous “engineering flowchart,” every mechanical problem in the world can be solved with just these two tools — no exceptions.
The idea has become a popular joke across DIY and engineering communities, especially in content shared by UNILAD. It plays on a shared truth: real-world repairs often come down to simple fixes rather than complex solutions.
Gunna’s Who You Foolin became one of the standout tracks from Drip or Drown 2 partly because the production sounded completely different from most trap music at the time.
Produced by Wheezy, the beat used a sample of “Zai Shui Yi Fang” by Chinese singer Tong Li, creating an atmospheric sound that mixed perfectly with Gunna’s relaxed melodic flow and heavy Atlanta drums.
What made the song connect so much was how effortless everything felt. The beat sounded smooth and luxurious, while Gunna delivered his verses with the calm confidence that became a huge part of his style during that era.
The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is one of the heaviest and most powerful military aircraft ever built, designed for long-range strategic missions and massive payload capacity. 🛩️ Because of its enormous weight and forward momentum, stopping it after landing presents a serious engineering challenge.
While wheel brakes handle part of the deceleration, they are not sufficient on their own to safely bring the aircraft to a stop in a controlled distance. To solve this, the B-52 can deploy a large drogue parachute immediately after touchdown. This parachute rapidly inflates behind the aircraft, creating strong aerodynamic drag that significantly slows the bomber while reducing stress on the landing gear and brake systems.
This system converts a large portion of the aircraft’s kinetic energy into air resistance, helping prevent overheating, brake wear, and runway overrun risks. Combined with hydraulic braking systems, it allows the aircraft to maintain stability even under demanding landing conditions. Used by the United States Air Force, it remains a simple yet highly effective solution for controlling one of the largest operational bombers in aviation history. ✈️
deadmau5 was casually building a new track in the studio when he suddenly realized the melody sounded way too familiar.
As the synth progression developed, it started drifting dangerously close to Sandstorm by Darude — one of the most recognizable electronic songs ever made. Instead of hiding it, deadmau5 laughed about the moment, showing how easy it is for producers to accidentally recreate pieces of iconic tracks without even noticing at first.
In electronic music, where certain BPM ranges, melodies, and synth patterns overlap constantly, stuff like this happens more than people realize. It also says a lot about how deeply “Sandstorm” shaped dance music culture, because decades later its sound is still living in producers’ heads whether they mean it to or not.
Започнах блог за ИИ. Без неандерталски академични PDF-и на ниво уга-буга, без python, без библиотеки, без магия — само C код, указатели и истината за това как въглеродът се мъчи да стане силиций.
Правила на блога: Постовете излизат когато ми се пише и когато психиката издържа. Ориентировъчно веднъж седмично, но няма гаранции. Не съм YouTuber със сценарий — съм човек с ADHD, компилатор, ИИ, и мнение (и алкохолизъм - понякога).

In the End became one of the defining rock songs of the 2000s and is still considered Linkin Park’s signature track by many fans.
Released on Hybrid Theory in 2000, the song mixed emotional lyrics, piano melodies, rap verses, and explosive rock energy into something that felt completely different at the time. Chester Bennington’s emotional vocals combined with Mike Shinoda’s verses helped create a sound that connected deeply with an entire generation.
More than 20 years later, “In The End” still feels timeless because the emotion behind it feels real. That’s a big reason people continue coming back to it again and again.
