Reply to comment by Baron_Samedi_ in Over 1,000 songs with human-mimicking AI vocals have been released by Tencent Music in China. One of them has 100m streams. by mutherhrg
We’ll get a similar result under our current form of capitalism, everything will get owned by the four to six biggest corporations - and they won’t even have to pay their artists 0.6 cents every time their song is streamed. We’ll have a Marvel AI and a DC comics AI, which will put out the same content but darker.
Maybe some enterprising porn company will pay for the license to use famous celebrities faces in their deepfakes. Eventually we’ll work our way to having ads play in our dreams. Totalitarian regimes at least result in some of their art being subversive. Commercialism allows for art to exist freely but then hollows it out until you associate something you once loved with garbage. How many beloved shows and movies from the past get rebooted for a quick buck? Pretty much all of them. And the resources it takes to make modern adaptations of those classics means they go through chokepoints in the entertainment industry, which means they pass through political filters, which is why almost every piece of art today shares a similar political message

And the amount of effort it would take to replace dead plants vs fixing/replacing the lights

It’s actually Pacific Island and MENA countries that are close to us (by BMI). What the US has in common with these places is an abundance of low-quality food. Most of Europe and East Asia is much thinner and have similar levels of development. For cultural and regulatory reasons, food is of higher quality. On an anecdotal level, when I traveled abroad, I noticed how much cheaper it was to get decent meals eating out.

I have a theory that Manson was too f’ed in the head to really plan those murders and the family just knew that they could pin them on him because he’d be too incompetent to defend himself in court

One problem is worse than the other. If you still have a bad problem but get rid of a worse one, then your situation has improved. If you’re going to be condescending, you should at least be smarter than a child first

I’m just saying half the world is still not starving. It’s not even half the world not meeting their needed caloric intakes. Advances in fertilizer, pesticide and GMO technology have actually made a difference. There’s still problems that need fixing but your initial comment is inaccurate

Maybe not starving (which literally means dying because of lack of food), but suffering from some form of malnutrition. Protein malnutrition is important, as a lot of cereal crops cannot provide a person with a complete amino acid profile and micronutrients if relied on to the extent they are in poorer countries.

Unless you're disabled, leave voice assistant off. You have time to type things out. You don't need a robot mommy. She's probably a fed anyway
