MP3 Encoding: Bit Rate Delineation Between Channels

AI Thread Summary
When selecting a bit rate of 192 kbps for a 16-bit, stereo, 44 kHz sound file, the bit rate does not translate to 96 kbps per channel. Instead, the channels are effectively combined in a joint stereo format, which optimizes storage by only recording differences between the channels when they are significant. This approach allows for more efficient use of data while maintaining audio quality.

They are combined (joint stereo) to save space they only store a difference between the channels when it is significant
 

Thread 'The Human Cost of AI'

This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
