The act of creation is one of pursuance. Paths are unclear, you chart it through a wilderness so vast you wonder if you will ever reach your destination. When you arrive you will know. You cannot prompt your way to this place.
Once musicians realize they can prompt things like "140 BPM, F minor, 4-bar bass phrase. Build the rhythm around a half-time kick/snare groove. Keep F as the tonal anchor but use Ab, C, Eb and occasional chromatic approach notes for tension" more musicians will start using AI. The only reason why AI music sounds generic is because most people playing with these models don't know anything about music. It only makes those knowledgeable more capable.

Everyone needs to understand that the capitalist class would rather destroy all life on Earth, including themselves, than give up their money or power. This is not hypothetical; fossil fuel companies have already shown how far they are willing to go to protect their interests.

We are in the final stage of capitalism where global capital can’t expand or sustain past profits. It now consumes public institutions and key systems, sacrificing democracy, welfare, infrastructure, education, healthcare, and ecosystems for short-term gain.
I can sniff the stank of AI generated design from miles away. Let me of my leash and I'll tear em to bits

if you’re excited about COPE and the progressive sweep in vancouver, know that a conservative govt will try their hardest to sabotage our new city govt to prove the left can’t govern. please look into your specific riding and be smart with your vote. the cons must be defeated.

whenever someone brings up using AI for creative work, I think about this
what we create also creates us

I’m levitating today in the warm afterglow of a left-wing surge in my home city of Vancouver!
Democratic socialists and progressives united to take on the power of big money and the politics of fear and division.
The parties were strategic in agreeing on a fixed number of candidates, and narrowed the field for one progressive mayoralty candidate.
This was key – working together across differences is what’s needed in these scary political times. Congrats to @COPEVancouver, @OneCityVan, and the @VanGreens: it wasn’t always easy, but it worked.
Cheers and flowers for all the candidates and volunteers who threw down hard on the ground game: this is how we build power from below! People organized relentlessly for a city government for the 99% – and they *won*.
Today Vancouver belongs to the many, not the money.
Congrats to Mayor-elect @PtFry, super councillor @seanorr, @ynd_jnd members Solomon Yi-Kieran and Jamie Han, and everyone involved in this thrilling victory.
