  • As someone who plays an instrument (but who was never good at writing songs) I’m scared for actual artist having to share their creative process just to prove they didn’t use ai

    Either be it my recording their tracks with video evidence and the waveform in the background, as many cover musicians are already doing, or by maybe sharing their creative process and their notes etc. Not only because it’ll only be more AI training data to fake but also because it gives them more work just to show they are not making slop content, but also because sometime you kind of want to keep those things to yourself as an artist. Either because of personal reasons or because you want to kinda keep the listener in the dark with what might be the meaning behind a certain phrase/verse

    Especially if you don’t perform live as an artist life must be shit rn




  • Isn’t that just an US thing in general? I’ve understood that everybody (especially in the south) always wants to have a conversation no matter if you’re strangers or not

    Over here in the Netherlands we just ignore eachother and when you go to buy groceries you wait for them to tell you the total and than you give them the money. No need to have a whole conversation and I love it that way, i don’t think i would survive the “southern hospitality” i always read about




  • When I worked as a restocker at a grocery store, they planned the majority of us for 3 hours a day (we were mostly minors so we didn’t know better), from 17:00 till 20:00. Because, at 3.5 hours, you were entitled to a 30 minute break, and even tho it was an unpaid break they still didn’t want you to take it. Did you get a lot more stuff then normal and so you had to work overtime? Tough shit, you still ain’t getting that break even tho it’s now 21:00

    Sometimes they would even cut some people their hours back if they felt that they weren’t working hard enough (again, we were minors, some of us making 4 bucks an hour, they were that petty). Fuck this system
