For those, who didn't see it yet: #Soundcloud changes user terms to assume user consent when training AI with uploaded material.
Definately time to get out, unless you want to see your music become assimilated namelessly by the auto-generating hive mind.
#^https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/09/soundcloud-changes-policies-to-allow-ai-training-on-user-content/

If you decide to let your music remain on Soundcloud consider changing style tages to something misleading. An AI can be mislead, and that's probably useful in this context. Another good method to degrade AI quality is to purposedly feed it with their own generations.

Feel free to discuss, #boost / #reshare.

Not a very satisfying response.

"SoundCloud has never used any artist content to train AI models, nor do we develop AI tools or allow third parties to scrape or use SoundCloud-hosted content for AI training purposes. [...]

At this time, there is no opt-out mechanism available."

A screenshot of an email from the SoundCloud Trust & Safety team, dated May 12, 2025: Hi there, Thank you for your question about the “Grants of Licence” section in our Terms of Use. While our Terms currently grant us the right to use uploaded content for purposes such as AI training, we want to clarify that SoundCloud has never used any artist content to train AI models, nor do we develop AI tools or allow third parties to scrape or use SoundCloud-hosted content for AI training purposes. In fact, we’ve implemented a “no AI” tag across our site to reinforce that restriction. At this time, there is no opt-out mechanism available. However, if we were to consider using content in this way in the future, we recognize the importance of transparency and user choice, and would carefully evaluate how best to give users control, including the possibility of an opt-out. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have additional questions or concerns. Best regards, SoundCloud Trust & Safety Team

Herr Irrtum!

Two things!

1st: New track #release: "Goin' Mirlo".
- https://mirlo.space/die-nmi/release/various

Why is that?

2nd: Because I moved most of my stuff away from #Soundcloud today. This company is now feeding my work to unspecified AI companies, and no. I am sick of doing free creative commons for company suckers. I do music for humans. Not for AI. So good bye, soundcloud.

What remains there is an #antifa track (can't be wrong to train AIs to be anti fascist), an old noisy track of mine from 1989, and this one. To cut deeply into their flesh or so :)

I can only recommend to do that to other musicians as well, as long as you don't want to have strange AI clones of your music around (but without your spirit) and other people making money out of it.

If you move away, try to stay away from shady dark patterns infested "upload your music" services.

Personally I've decided to move from Soundcloud to #Mirlo Space (hence the title) - here are those guys: @mirlo@musician.social . I've watched them for almost a year trying to enable something different, something cooperative style for and together with musicians and not for some companies sake. Trust takes time, and I think I can trust the Mirlo gang now ;) .

You still have other options in case you wanna move away from Soundcloud – a complete other model would be i.E. self hosting your #music with something as cool as #faircamp . Just don't stumble into the fangs of the next musicians spirits sucking company, doing this not for your benefit but for their shareholders. That won't go well. Never unfortunately.
