  • You're not wrong. I'm only saying what my personal thought would have been.

  • One in 10 Japanese creatives see income fall due to generative AI

  • There's already mystery music out there. Small circles of folks putting things out that they don't expect or want people outside the circle to hear. I'm a nobody and I'm part of two different groups who share music with each other, build on each other's works, try genre mashups and new shit that may never get done again, many times because it's a mess but sometimes just because it was a fun one time thing.

  • I think short term, yeah, I think so. Medium term and I think we'll see a bunch of model collapse or people will get tired of the same story line repeatedly so it won't be profitable (or won't be regaining the money they thought they'd save on actual creative folks). Long term, I have no fucking clue if they'll get around the fact that training AI on AI makes it even weirder.

  • I was mad when they got rid of our local Video Zone. That place had the best ridiculous horror movies. Blockbuster had only the most middle of the road bullshit.

  • Depends on how you count it. Northern Marina Islands were annexed in 1986 but they were a territory under our jurisdiction from the 40s and I don't know much about the history of the place before that. If you're talking about overthrowing a functioning government and taking the land, maybe Hawaii? McKinley was probably the last big expansionist.

    That's if you don't count puppets. We've got and have recently had a few of those as well.

  • Even outside of that, I saw people claim he was a shitbag before the stroke. I mean, I'm glad he caucuses with the Dems for the same reason I was happy Manchin did. One more on that side. But we all know how he's voting, even if he is a tiny iota better than his competition was.

    I hope his ass gets primaried.

  • we're a nation of middlemen

  • Let me state up front I agree with you. A less charitable reading of what I'm about to say would try to make it seem like I'm putting the blame on other things to deflect. I'm not. Insurance companies fucking suck and are among the reasons it's expensive.

    Like everything it's more complicated than a single factor. Tying healthcare to jobs is part of it. Boosting the number of people signing up for the military is part of it for both VA insurance and college. The cost of college (with its financial middlemen as well) for doctors is part of it.

    Insurance is a huge reason. There are a hundred other little reasons as well, many of them also dealing with financial middlemen, that contribute to the issue. It's a Gordian Knot of idiocy and when it gets sliced it's going to be painful and, once the initial pain is done, necessary in hindsight.

  • I saw somewhere (ok, I probably didn't imagine it) that they believed pigmentation was linked somehow to adrenaline production. But it wasn't proven at the time.

  • To add to this, political speech (much like online discourse) benefits from flattening.

    Nuance (I enjoy guns and am pro-gun but I think there should be controls in place to make it more difficult for people who are likely to kill to obtain them) is harder to argue against and harder to make stick in people's minds.

  • An adult or a pup? That's going to make a big difference. You'll never be able to domesticate it in one or two generations, but depending on temperament and dedication you could probably have a coyote that allows you to live in proximity to it after a year if you spent all your time working with it. But never turn your back on it.

    A pup would obviously be easier. But I still wouldn't turn my back on it.

    They worked on domesticating foxes in Russia for decades. Selective breeding for less aggression and fear. It's funny, the domesticated ones start looking slightly more like dogs, with some even getting floppy ears and little curly tails. I assume it would be similar for coyotes.

  • Reaper, Studio One (although we'll see what Fender does to it, we all remember the Gibson Cakewalk fiasco), and Bitwig are all native. Kind of depends on what your workflow is and what plugins you're using. Yabridge is workable for a ton of stuff and not difficult.

  • He didn't shut himself away, but this isn't far off from what happened to The Laundry Files by Charles Stross. He had an ending all lined up dealing with a cold type disease that made everyone stupider. Then COVID happened. He had a storyline about how some shitty British political shit. Then Brexit happened. He stopped writing the main line series for a few years because he couldn't keep up with how batshit things were getting.

    If you like computers, math, Eldritch monsters, dry humor, making fun of bureaucracy, and thinly disguised metaphors for anthropomorphic climate catastrophies, you might enjoy it. He's got one book left in the main line coming out in 9 days. Thank goodness because I'm going to need him to stop predicting a worse future. He's moving on to a space opera or some shit so I'm hoping he'll start writing about how wonderful everything is so we can start heading that direction.

  • That's a feature to some companies and "creators" who have no talent. Music is great but let's get these greedy musicians out of the way!

    Musicians have been, in the eyes of these kinds of jackasses, the least important part of the music industry pretty much since its inception.

  • Years of democratic fear mongering has affected the view that many of the people this affects so they don't have firearms. Some have firearms but don't carry, they leave it at the house.

    The people that were armed in case of government tyranny are fine with this. It's almost like a lot of them were armed because there wanted this to happen to the opposing political party but were scared someone would get to them first.

  • That means there are at least 3 of us. My best friend was also a nuke and is also out here with us. He doesn't comment much but you've probably run into him. I don't know what he's shared about himself so I'm not giving away his username.
