Oh yeah I am genuinely confused, he has absolutely no standing on this topic, can everybody just ignore him please LMAO

Assume they mean something like, it's not about our leaders, it's about God and the mission but I mean, their website literally says "raising up a faceless army" LMAO, charismatic bullshit strikes again, they probably have no idea how creepy that sounds

that's feminism and trans people occupy the tip of the spear. if we are possible then everything becomes possible. if we are free then you are free. the alternative is control, patriarchy, fascism. a world that is dictated to us on someone else's terms. if we are not free then neither are you. help

Exactly, I'm 99% sure that they're not just using it for visual placeholder, but more of a content placeholder, e.g. asking the AI to generate some dialog which they'll definitely get around to replacing later (until they do a little whoopsie and forget)

Worse, if/when the AI financial bubble pops that just means access to the tech will get easier and cheaper. Only thing we can really do is seek out stuff by people who aren't dedicated to slopping it up. Trash situation all around

Already seeing too many authors OK with self-pubbing AI covers, programmers OK with AI art, etc, there's such a lack of real principles in favor of "well *my* job is creative and important but *theirs* isn't". And pretty soon there's a whole cohort of kids graduating who don't know anything else

The practice of film directors dropping the score from a different movie into a rough cut is maybe the worst of these, because they get demo-itis and want the real score to sound exactly the same. Composers HATE it, but it keeps happening. And once you're doing that, well, why not use temp AI? :/

Honestly I can't even be surprised, you've probably heard my annoying rant about people habitually using stolen shit for placeholders/concepts pre-AI, this is just the next step. We have to accept that doing things right will simply take longer but nobody wants to hear that esp. the money people

I've decided to think of yt as paying a bit for really convenient piracy and planning on supporting artists entirely in other ways LMAO. whole thing is a scam. even at qobuz's rates you'd have to listen to a song what, 73 times to equal buying it?
