Someone used Suno AI to generate a Japanese metal band called Neon Oni. Fake member bios, AI-generated music videos, "Based in Tokyo" on Spotify. 80,000+ monthly listeners. Fans had it in their Spotify Wrapped top 5. Merch was selling. Then, community sleuths exposed it. Traced the creator's account to Europe. Spotted AI-generated hands in the music videos. The creator's response? Recruit 7 real musicians from actual Tokyo bands to perform the AI-generated songs live. They've now played several live shows and have more on the books. From an interview with the band's creator: "In an age where AI is taking everyone's jobs, this has actually created jobs. It's done the complete opposite." The AI --> real band transformation is a wild one.


According to the leaked EY audit summary, Universa achieved a 105.2% annual return on capital from 2008-2019. No official public release, as private funds like Universa aren't required to disclose such details, prioritizing client confidentiality. Recent reports show strong gains, e.g., over 100% in 2025 events, but no new audits confirmed.

When I heard about “pretotyping” I didn’t know what it meant. We document it as an important step in our @AGSJournal article doi.org/10.1111/jgs.19… @Pretotyping is critical in idea implementation!
