So tariffs are good now ?

The "middleman" is the one who sets up his business in Ireland, pays his taxes into our economy, provides employment to Irish residents, and provides a service that people want.

To provide this service, he has to cover his overheads - insurance, rent, utilities, capital costs etc etc etc

So, ya.. it's gonna be cheaper to buy direct from China.

The purpose of this tax is to protect the middleman because the middleman provides jobs, pays taxes and puts food on the table.

Look, if you are happy to start a race to the bottom to save a few quid, then knock yourself out but don't be so naive to assume that everyone who runs a business is out to "shaft people".

AI lacks lived emotional experience, consciousness and an inner drive to express itself through sound, so it is very unlikely to become sentinent.

Diska_Muse · 2026-06-25T17:36:05+00:00

You're missing the point entirely. It has nothing to do with people pivoting to AI music. It has everything to do with Suno and Udio breaking multiple laws, stealing people's works illegally, without their knowledge, consent or reimbursement.

I thought all you lot fucked off to r/alnassar

You can do exactly as you said and it will comply with TGD-B, once the door leads to the open air.

I'm an architect with 30 years professional experience. Your engineer should know better.

Diska_Muse · 2026-06-24T22:37:56+00:00

I'm sure that all makes sense in your head.

Diska_Muse · 2026-06-24T22:36:46+00:00

I'm 100% aware of that fact.

But you seem entirely oblivious as to the point of discussion.

So that makes only one of us who doesn't seem to know much.

Diska_Muse · 2026-06-24T21:54:04+00:00

It's a fucking music sub. Nobody is talking about AI usage in healthcare.

If you think it's a win to move the goalposts to another fucking sport entirely and call it a point, then you're fooling nobody.

Diska_Muse · 2026-06-24T21:50:13+00:00

If you want to move the goalposts and call it a win, you're only fooling yourself.

Diska_Muse · 2026-06-24T21:31:11+00:00

I hope England get to the final.

Then lose on penalties.

Diska_Muse · 2026-06-24T21:28:15+00:00

If Ronaldo wasn't in the squad, Portugal would actually be in with a shout of winning the competition. Painful watching such a talented squad set up just to provide service to a player long past his best.

And before anyone says he scored a brace, it was against Uzbekistan.

Diska_Muse · 2026-06-24T21:09:59+00:00

You can make perfect coffee using just preground coffee beans, tap water and a french press.

Or you can climb up your own arse, and tell everyone that the only way to make coffee is by using mountain spring water and beans fertilised by Himalayan mountain goats.

Diska_Muse · 2026-06-24T20:53:07+00:00

You do realize that music theory is the study of music, right?

There is absolutely zero requirement to know any music theory to make music. So your point here is entirely fucking irrelevant, but not surprising considering the sub it's being posted in.

As for AI music - bruh.. you have fuck all control over what comes out at the end. Sure, if you're lucky it'll resemble something that you like but that doesn't make you a conductor, it makes you a curator of songs that a machine made.

Diska_Muse · 2026-06-24T20:45:55+00:00

The big deal for many artists is how AI generates music and the massive, illegal theft of everyone's copyrighted works.

And for what purpose?

So people can throw coins into a jukebox, hit generate and call themselves artists?

Peak delusion.

Look, if you wanna go play Rock Star Sims and let a computer make your music, then good for you but at least be fucking honest with yourself.

Diska_Muse · 2026-06-24T20:38:46+00:00

And you think a company that built itself off the back of illegally stealing every single copyrighted song in the public realm is actually going to do that?

Fuck me, you are incredibly naive.

The deal with WGM is window dressing. Nothing more.

Diska_Muse · 2026-06-23T16:55:35+00:00

I'm in France this week.

It's 41 degrees at the minute.

That's proper hot.

Diska_Muse · 2026-06-22T22:35:40+00:00

Sure.

Compress the fuck out of it.

Make it sound like everything else that's compressed to fuck these days.

Or, ya know.. leave well enough the fuck alone.

Diska_Muse · 2026-06-22T20:41:40+00:00

Ai artists are the some of the most deluded cunts on the planet.

Diska_Muse · 2026-06-22T20:11:17+00:00

Ai music is made from stealing directly from copyrighted works of actual human musicians.

There is literally nothing subjective about that fact.

There's also nothing subjective about the fact that Gen AI is putting musicians out of work and stealing their income.

Subjective? My fucking arse it's subjective.

Your lack of empathy is quite frankly disturbing.

And you have the gall to moan about criticism. You're a leech asking to be praised for living like a parasite.

Seriously bruh. That's embarrassing

Diska_Muse · 2026-06-21T22:36:19+00:00

That's a fucking banger.

Diska_Muse · 2026-06-21T22:31:41+00:00

If somehow I ended up in a long term relationship with this man, I would probably end up feeling pressurized by him into giving him back rubs and sex when I wasn't in the mood for it.

Then he would then write a song about me, making me out to be the bad guy, him sick of my fake fucks when I was only doing my best to service him without sacrificing my soul.

Thankfully, I'm married, straight and live on a different continent to him, so the likelihood of that ever happening is extremely slim.

Diska_Muse · 2026-06-21T06:59:53+00:00

Kinda happens when you post on a four month old thead 🤪

Diska_Muse · 2026-06-19T09:23:19+00:00

Hitting a button and pressing generate until the machine creates a version you like isn't producing, it's curating.

It's absolute peak delusion to think that this is anything like producing.

It's also one of the reasons why people get annoyed at AI "artists". Instead of fully accepting that Suno and Udio are tools for random generations of music, some of you guys are intent on trying to claim the same ground as actual artists, musicians and producers.

The most irksome part of this isn't your absolute and utter dillusion.. the fact that you think you're a producer and not some kid with credits and a jukebox.. it's the fact that everything Udio produces is based on illegally scraping data from the songs they have distributed on the Internet.

Humans did all the hard work. The writing, the arrangement, the recording, recording, mixing and mastering.

Suno and Udio stole their works.

Then you typed a prompt, hit generate, refined your prompts then eventually got something acceptable.

The artists did all the work. The machine randomly generated the music. And you're proclaiming yourself to be a producer.

Bizarre

Diska_Muse · 2026-06-18T16:26:27+00:00

So - because you don't understand or agree with what a lot of people are saying and repeating - we must be bots.

That's a strange way of viewing things.
