"Our BBB colleague Robert Rhodan loves to experiment with the latest technologies. He's created a techno-pop-electronic song devoted to Bellisseria's 5th birthday. He generated the lyrics using ChatGTP (a chatbot developed by OpenAI). After running various iterations and some personal input, he fed his lyrics into the Suno AI tool by Anthropic, which generates music.

Based on Robert's instructions about musical style, instruments to be used, the voice of the singer, the rhythm, etc., Suno generated a music clip of just over a minute. Robert reran, refined, cut and mixed clips to achieve the full five minute Bellisseria 5th Birthday song. Then he put together image clips to create this YouTube video. The lyrics are at the end."

"A few months back, we made some changes that were supported by our data analyses, which indicated low engagement with the gifts and giveaway posts on Seraphim. As a result, we chose to remove this section to make room for exciting new content. Since then, we’ve been overwhelmed with valuable feedback from our community expressing their love for the gifts section! We listened, and we’re thrilled to announce that it’s making a comeback by popular demand! Get ready for the return of the Gifts & Giveaways section on Seraphim—now better than ever!"

"Bellisseria is turning five on 15th April 2024. It is a huge milestone and Bellisserians will be celebrating  in a big way. Celebrations start on Tuesday 2nd April at 10 AM SLT and will last for the rest of the month. The Bellisseria Fairgrounds/airport area is doubling in size from two regions to four; all packed with fun and interesting things. There is a carnival area with rides you can enjoy. There is also a small zoo, a game room, hot air balloon rides, bumper cars, bumper boats and even a bucking bull you can try to ride." Read more on the blog

"On Thursday, March 14th, 2024 Grumpity Linden, the Lab’s Senior Vice President of Operations, along with Kali and Signal Linden joined Phelan Corrimal for the annual Above the Book session at the Virtual Worlds Best Practice in Education (VWBPE) conference, entitled What’s Up At the Lab.

The function of the session is to explore what’s “new” at Linden Lab  / with Second Life and their impact on educators and non-profit organisations using the platform.

The following is a summary of the session covering the core topics raised. The notes provided have been taken directly from the official video of the session, which is embedded at the end of this article. Time stamps to the video are also provided to the relevant points in the video for those who wish to listen to specific comments."

"We tip our hat to New World Notes, where we first heard about this location. It's not unusual to have impressive and complex Japanese builds in Second Life® but this one is different, in that it is sponsored by the Japanese Government via the national tourist agency. It's built by professionals to a high standard and is as much a showcase for what SL can be as it is a tourist promotion for Japan." Read more on the blog

"We are grateful to those readers who took part in our annual survey. The results were interesting and helpful. Thank you. One reader commented that s/he'd like to hear less in The Gazette about the BBB and more about our users. We wholeheartedly agree! The whole point of the Events & Announcements section, introduced last year, is to give stamp-issuing users the chance to publicise their locations, events and activities. The section is steadily growing, but many are still not aware they can make The Gazette their own on request." Read more on the blog

"Our preparations for B5B are proceeding well. Our build crew is hard at work setting up the temporary offices there of the BBB, Parade of Homes and The Gazette. With the kind permission of our beloved Moles, we've also placed a Tardis landing spot in a public park near our offices there, so that SL's Time Lords can visit in their preferred style."

"Claire M (primerib1) has produced a new map of Bellisseria, naming all the various areas. The Lindens and Moles officially name continents (e.g. Bellisseria, Gaeta) and regions (eg. Swordfish, Nanga) and private estate owners name their own regions (e.g. Nyunanga) but useful names to identify areas of Second Life® usually come (in true SL spirit) from the community. Claire has kindly allowed us to reproduce her map here." Read more on the blog
