Dating apps are nice, but picking a partner based on a few hollow prompts is a losing proposition. Despite the tens of millions of people using these apps daily, the likelihood of matching with someone you’re actually compatible with on these apps remains well below 1%. Cyber’s new app “XO” seeks to change this by matching people based on more specific interests like music taste. By pairing users based on unique, shared interests, they dramatically increase users' matchmaking success. On...

Today's music platforms are not working for artists. The current streaming royalty models generate insufficient revenue and prevent artists from receiving direct support from their community. Social media platforms also fail to provide the necessary information for artists to identify their audience and create personalized fan experiences. At the same time, Spotify and other streaming platforms continue to offer the best opportunities for artists to get discovered, while TikTok, Instagra...

If you think the joint lawsuits filed by Warner Music, Sony, UMG, Atlantic, and other major labels against Suno and Udio are about protecting artists' music, then I wish I had your optimism. AI-generated music is amplifying an existing tension in the music industry. Music labels are not necessarily concerned with the integrity of the artist's work. Instead, they are often more focused on maintaining control and monetization of music distribution. The battle over AI music is a sympto...
