Telegram founder Pavel Durov published a music track created with the help of neural networks on his channel. The chanson composition titled "One's Own Living Internet" is dedicated to blocks and ways to bypass them.
Where they cut off entry, we found our own workaround; by the doorway people talk about VPN. The kid, the granny, the neighbor — now none of them are afraid; if they cut their power, it means we will keep pushing through.
Durov admitted that in the 1990s he was interested in creating music in programs like FruityLoops. Now he has decided to revive this hobby, but using modern tools and artificial intelligence. He will publish his new compositions under the artistic pseudonym "Durikovich".
Earlier, Durov claimed that, despite the ban on the messenger in Russia, 65 million Russians continue to use it daily through VPN, while more than 50 million send messages every day. According to him, attempts to block VPN led to a large-scale failure in the banking system — cash briefly became the only method of payment across the country. Durov compared the situation with Iran, where Telegram was banned several years ago. There, according to him, the government expected citizens to switch to domestic messengers with surveillance functions, but instead saw VPN become widespread.
