You haven’t heard the songs.

Yes. Has quite a playlist on Spotify or something like it.

My sibling is trying to launch an AI music career and it drives me off a fucking cliff. No shit, one of the songs they made was used at a funeral and I nearly barfed. What’s worse, whenever I try to talk any sort of serious subject, about shit in the world, or what I’m dealing with in my personal life, their advice is to find a creative outlet Iike theirs.

Looking forward to the holidays after that banger they prompted for my birthday!

Who the fuck thinks it’s a good idea to give zuck access to their bank accounts? Mass delusion we live with.. I’m just gobsmacked..

I agree, but I fucking hate that it’s AI that’s breaking the concept. First of all, it’s not like it’s a righteous fight, whoever wins, we all lose. Second, as much as I think copywrite is abused like hell, I still think the idea, one closer to the original, has merit and does provide crucial protections for individuals.

Sadly the fucking plagiarism machine and the anti-human dirtbags running it have found the absolute worst possible way to break the system. Ultimately resulting in nothing for us plebes that copywrite should protect and all the benefits that the shit copywrite coroporate power grab produced for them.

I quit drinking many years ago. I liked beer, but I would have said that it didn’t taste that great, even the best ones were at best…interesting . Once I quit though, I think it must be the alcohol flavor or something because I have found I really like stuff like hop water. Nice and fruity and bitter (in a good kind of way), it’s just lovely.

Oh man, I absolutely adore coffee, it’s one of my all time favorite things. It like happy in a glass. But I’m getting old, and I can’t deal with the caffeine like when I was a kid, and decaf is just ruined coffee (not sure if it’s the process or the missing caffeine flavor, but I’ve never tasted a decaf I like).

But the unaltered stuff, I even munch plain beans every now and again. Then again, I’ve never bought a can of coffee, my entire life I’ve only drank beans I ground myself, sometimes at the store, but it’s always started as a whole bean.

Not suggesting you try it, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Frankly I’m glad because it leaves more for me :)

Bingo. How I see it too, it’s why I became a a leader in my kids activities too. Figure I might as well do whatever I can to help build a better generation.

Thanks bud, I’m trying. Shit ass world to do it in, but them and a lot of their friends give me quite a bit of hope.

I’ve got a Weird Al shirt that everyone confuses for one.

Not all of them. I’ve got three school aged kids, one plays guitar and saxophone, one plays clarinet and trumpet, one is just starting the trombone.

If anything, I am seeing the kids push back against this shit. My kids have an ear for and hate ai produced music; they get so angry about “clanker music”. They really value being able to make their own, and I love the constant noise of real instruments being practiced in my house.

Lots don’t care, but there are still many pockets of kids who hate all this as much as we do, and are pursuing a more analog lifestyle.
