This. It’s amazing to watch normal people operate. It’s like they think the universe must be showing them the ads for some profound reason

Lift weights! Genuinely super fun to track the progress over time. Bonus effect: lazing around in bed the rest of the weekend is no longer wasting your life; you’re now resting and building muscle!

He and RFK should both be impeached for their pull-up technique

I was gonna say 9 as well, but I only remember the Coheed and Cambria trailer

You just gotta be careful. Megacorps will drop prices to take advantage of the exact logic you’ve laid out. On an individual day you’re gonna save money on an individual purchase with them, sure.

But once the local place goes out of business, suddenly there isn’t anyone for them to undercut, so the prices creep back up.

Then you’re in the exact same situation as before, usually a bit worse. Except, before, the money you spent at the local business would mostly recirculate within your actual community. Now it’s being siphoned off into some yacht measuring contest. Local wages go down because people need to take jobs at the big companies, which then reinforces the “every dollar counts” problem, making it ever harder for your community to reverse course.

This gets worse and worse until the corpos eventually abandon your community. So you used to have a local grocer, then corpo drives them out of business, then corpo shutters the location for poor performance. Now you live in a food desert

The dream of all vampires is to keep you barely alive enough to be fed on. They go to extreme lengths to control the narrative around this so instead of seeing vampires actively trying to enthrall us we see them more as a friendly, convenient way to help make ends meet. But convincing us that shopping local is a burdensome act of charity is their first line of attack

That’s not just a fabulous insight, it’s a powerful revelation!

Sometimes experimental/improv groups can basically make an album a day if they put their mind to it. Often live recorded with minimal post processing. It’s far from mainstream but it can be surprisingly popular among the right audiences.

Haven’t checked out this particular project but it’s possible

No silly, I hate computers for ruining music, remember? No wonder you like AI so much, neither you nor it is capable of continuity lmao

Oh you’re still going? Kinky. Develop the story a little more for me. What instrument do I play? Am I homeless?

Does your husband know you just spent all night fantasizing about me?

What, you not in the mood to dox yourself at my command today?

Yeah go ahead

Send me a picture of your girlfriend

Oh noooo, not my career, how will it survive the onslaught of tech bros who publish thirty “songs” a day

You’re badly out of date buddy. It’s been hilarious watching slop slurpers humiliate themselves for years on and end then up crying when the obvious scam they invested in achieves nothing. There’s a reason all of your fantasies revolve around undisciplined, talentless losers who feel entitled to success without needing to work for it or collaborate with anybody else.

Yeah you got nothing lmao. Good talk

Your delusions now extend to me! What an honor. Sadly, unlike with your AI girlfriend, you don’t have the ability to just tell me what I believe lmfao. Your brain is cooked

As for the point you’re trying to make: you cannot be considered a serious artist if you smear AI on the walls and then demand the same respect given to actual artists, no.

Digital artists who use “what is basically a midi controller” are actual artists, yes. Wtf are you talking about btw, it’s like you’ve heard of midi controllers but don’t know enough about them to phrase your point properly. Is your entire concept of digital production based on a guitar center advertisement? It would explain why you incorrectly believe AI could possibly assist the creative process.

And you’re the one shitting on digital artists, just so you know. Google how “Umbrella” was made before you so casually throw drum loops under the bus. Drum loops (and….this might blow your mind…piano loops) are collaborations between human artists. Everyone agrees this is legit. The fact you think instrumentalists and producers are somehow enemies reveals how out of touch you are; it’s totally obvious to anyone who actually creates music

Great job pretending not to know the concept of a summary! Also bonus points for conceding my points by ignoring them and moving on

As for this little game you and all slop pushers like to play where you try to come up with problems that don’t exist so AI can solve them: I can’t help but to notice the main character of your second attempt here doesn’t have any friends they can make music with.

The reason they have no musical friends is most likely because they keep getting ghosted after showing people their humiliating AI demos. It’s gonna be a recurring problem for them until someone is polite enough to tell them the truth to their face

“In my imagination I speak for all people and we all think I’m right” chatGPT is literally rotting your brain bro

“The main issue musicians are struggling with is originality; AI can help :)” get a grip. Notice how in order for you to insert “ai” into this process you have to construct a fantasy where a totally uncreative person lazily drags a low quality beat into their project without a further care in the world? The root of your little fantasy here is simple and inescapable: AI is only appealing to boring, uncreative, soulless people. I know it, and you know it, which is why out of all the limitless possibilities your first argument is that it would be superior to something you already consider shit.

Iterating with an AI to get the right beat would be better than a loop

That’s just like, your opinion

Just fruits? No that would basically be a death wish. You can find a handful of people who claim to have done it for long periods of time and survived.

But if all plants are on the table? You’re 100% in the clear. Keep an eye on your protein and shoot for lots of variety for your best bet. If you see a doctor regularly they should be able to detect problems before they become big problems. A lot of times “junk food vegans” can have issues, so put some time into learning how to make balanced meals.

If you don’t actually have any ethical problems with consuming meat or animal products, having meat once or twice a month will allow you to reap virtually all of the health benefits of being plant based while simplifying lots of things, nutritionally as well as socially
