I have seen people moved to tears from ai music. To me no matter how good it sounds, I still feel like I’m listening to modem noises. A recent funeral for example, an ai song, written by a thoughtless prompt, filled with bored, tired cliches that could have just as easily been written by a corporate communications department, was the tear filled tribute to my step-mother as she was lowered into the ground.

It was the single most dystopian moment of my life.

The other 1% will just expire while waiting for it.

You too bud, appreciate the constructive back and forth. I am not exactly artful with my words all the time. This shit has everyone on edge, my apologies as well for any aggression, emotions running high these days.

In that case I’m extremely glad I’m the obtuse one.

Your initial comment read to me like you were upset about the “double standard” of tuenip being held accountable for his chosen literature while defending the ones mentioned in the article. I thought you were trying to paint the author as a hypocrite for defending some but not all. I really did read it as someone trying to say, “oh yeah, you say content doesn’t matter but then the left comes at the president for his content”.

I’m so used to seeing fascist takes having become mainstream that I’m overly sensitive. Apologies.

Don’t be so obtuse. African studies and Foucault are not in the same orbit as hitler. It would be maybe notable if a public figure kept a copy of “Discipline and Punish” on their nightstand, would be sorta weird nightly reading and would be good evidence that this person is likely to be strongly influenced by or sympathizes with Foucault.

Reading once, studying in school, etc. are a world apart from reading often enough that you need to keep a copy that accessible.

Let’s also look at these specific people. Remind me how many folks Faucault had murdered?

Lastly, let’s look at the words and behavior of these people in context, not just judged by the words he read. I’ve read lots of nasty shit, but don’t act like a nasty shit. Tuenip has read hiter and now we have concentration camps, imprisoning and denying food to American Citizens.

Nuance is a thing.

It’s because he’s a child who was given access to firecrackers.

I just got off my flight to Mexico. I have no idea if I’m getting home. It wasn’t a dealbreaker for the trip..

I know the news keeps saying they were going hard against the tariffs. I have zero doubt they will do anything but capitulate tonight him again; it’s why they are there.

My elderly, disabled, cancer stricken mother who lives on $1050 monthly social security has just lost her access to food.

Great country we have here. Fuck you to anyone who voted for this shit.

Why does someone always post my own thoughts before me in this community?

Of course he can’t. He knows that. This was 100% optics, so he can go down in history as the worlds first trillionaire. It doesn’t matter that it won’t happen, it did on paper, and that’s all these types care about. He can now brag and boast on his newfound success, and insanely, it will work (at least for a while).
