This is actor worship, the new cult that appeared in the 1950s originated intentionally from Hollywood.

Normal human societies correctly identify that people who lie about everything, including everything about themselves for money are practicing a type of prostitution, and treat and have treated actors accordingly throughout human history.

In case of books, middlemen were horrifically abundant. Publisher, editor, official state censor/today's sensitivity reader.

Direct self publishing removed most of those, and now published, edited and officially state censored/sensitivity read "best sellers" sell five digit copies on a good release.

Meanwhile there are more book reading happening than ever, mainly on the back on direct self publishing which bypasses all of those.

Actors fundamentally are just middle men between the story teller and the audience. Generative video and audio AI like many IT developments is removing middle men from the relationship.

I can't tell you what it means to see even this small dose of common sense on slashdot.

One thing to consider: Newsom's hair is likely filled with carcinogens. Even if you add a Prop.65 warning it's arguably more humane to drop Bass, Becerra, Pelosi and the like from, say, 30 meters onto Newsom rather than risk marines' health.

You may want to consult other replies, where your side openly brags that they get to do that because he did racism and shiet.

Sir, your side has shot the man who demonstrated how left's ideas don't hold up in debates in the neck on front of his children.

And then your types are on the record going into the streets singing "we got Charlie in the neck" and other similar heinous shit.

Sit down.

It's the same shit porn sites asked kids in the 1990s. "What is your date of birth".

Yes sir, I was born on january 1st 1970. Now let me the see the titties.

Honey, no one cares about academia any more. It's been studied by people who replaced them after far left subverted the academia. The corpos. And you can see the results not because they publish what they find, but because they act to generate results they want in reality based on things they found by studying each subject.

Refer to Spotify's current recommendations algorithm for details. Log in as a young person and observe as your recommendations rapidly take you down the AI music route.

Because that's what gets best retention and best payout.

It'll cut down on pocket dials and makes a better song too.

In all seriousness, NYC is working hard to curb subway stabbing calls after the Zarutska incident.
Ignoring the problem is easier if nobody can report an incident.

I meant this sincerely, with conviction. The FOSS world knew of Gates' bankrupt ethics and phony philanthropy for decades, and now we know about his reserved seat on the Lolita Express. Gates' dreams of an AI surveillance state "guided by" him and his Epstein juice-drinking pals could use a good derailing via exposure of the whole kid-fucking mess.

Instead of spouting off about AI, Gates and his Epstein Island buddies should take a taxpayer-funded 30 year vacation to Alcatraz together.

Billy's opinion on AI is as relevant as his opinions on Covid mask mandates.

Americans might be wondering what this is all about. Literally nobody outside Quebec wants French on all our products or on Netflix. Demand for French outside of Quebec is manufactured entirely by Ottawa's self-serving decrees.

French matters exclusively in Quebec and limited regions of Ontario bordering Quebec; everybody else despises Ottawa's insistence on pushing French down our throats. Unfortunately the French vote is vital to forming a majority government so they an outsized influence in our politics, amplified by their occasional referenda on separation.

IOW this performative cultural component to the streaming silliness pushed by Carney is all about currying favour with French voters. The rest of us resent Carney's divisive and destructive charade that's destroying our economy and jobs and pushing Alberta to the brink of separation.

Again, if you think the artists don't use AI, it's because they didn't tell you.

A good example here is "I'm stuck, what rimes with x" that is a stereotypical writer block for song writers. Do you know what easily solves that problem?

LLM trained for it. I.e. Suno.ai.

Song writers writing a specific tune that just doesn't sound right that want to iterate on several close variants to determine what would sound better. Do you know what does this quickly? Suno.ai.

Again, the artists probably could, as we say it here, "climb up the tree ass first" and do this themselves. It will take them thousands to tens of thousands of times longer to solve the problem at hand than AI would solve it. But they could do it by hand.

But successful people are always starved for time. So they take every tool that will let them have a significant amount of extra time. AI is currently by far the most important tool in this category.

Another fun part: this has been studied. You're wrong on both accounts. People don't actually care (and often prefer) AI music, as long as they're not told it's AI music. I.e. telling them generates a nocebo effect.

And young generations are very much positive on AI music. They form a decent bulk of people who ask the likes of suno.ai make it for them. It's just that most of this music is something like "take this song that sounds cool, and make it more like this, because I like it more if it was like this". Sing with girlfriend's/boyfriends/crush's voice, etc.

Fun part: you can tell properly trained AI to give generated piece "a sense of the personality and mood of the specific performer". Today, 4/5 times it will be successful in doing so, provided it had enough of performer's works to learn from.
