1. Not content farming, genuinely curious how surprised people would be if they heard it after this intro

Jazz/film nerds... did John Williams bite the two moons theme from round midnight? Obviously he knew some jazz/funk/fusion (Jedi Rock) and bit plenty from classical composers (Mars), but i haven't seen anyone talk about him biting individual jazz artists?

OpenAI releases the newest version of the AI model that powers its popular ChatGPT chatbot, with CEO Sam Altman promoting it as like having a “team of Ph.D. level experts in your pocket.”

Does anyone know of any string quartets/small ensemble classical music groups who compose in a manner more akin to rock/jazz/popular groups, where the shape of the music is dictated by group effort (even if certain people take larger roles in the process)?
