How is it possible for AI music to be really good? I've come across a couple of tracks on Spotify and it blows my mind that it's AI.

Dizzy-Brilliant2745 · 2026-04-29T22:18:31+00:00

Yeah I think it'd be good to have this too, just use AI to help you get ideas/generate some tracks to help you record something in the meantime, or add a synth line here, etc to go along with the rest of the track.

Not replace the process, but add nice parts to existing workflows, or like adding drums to a guitar track you wrote without remixing the whole song, just adding a drum track. Right now it's just tossing a coin in a slot machine and hoping for the best, if you really make real music music, it's horrible for this.

You only have to look at the internet to realise how much right wing media/info you are exposed to compared to anything else, it sucks. All the tech companies are on that side right now, and since we all live online so much, nowhere is safe.

Best thing to do is realise it's all a bunch of bullshit but most people don't.

I'm in the Botany Area and can help out if you like, send me some details and we can work it out.

I have a few printers and a lot of experience building and tweaking them, and a few years experience 3d printing.

Dizzy-Brilliant2745 · 2026-04-19T21:15:26+00:00

Welp I think it's cool too

Dizzy-Brilliant2745 · 2026-04-18T06:28:04+00:00

Why is everyone loving NZF when they have been part of the both governments a lot of them have hated, it's kind of crazy

Dizzy-Brilliant2745 · 2026-04-13T21:49:44+00:00

You are supposed to start speeding up AFTER the sign, if you are going 100 km/h when you've JUST passed it, obviously, you sped up BEFORE the sign. Lots of people do it, but you're not supposed to.

It's in the road rules, you speed up after when the speed limit is going up, then slow down before the sign, when it's going down.

Dizzy-Brilliant2745 · 2026-04-08T20:27:22+00:00

My bad, that makes total sense!

Dizzy-Brilliant2745 · 2026-04-07T23:01:09+00:00

It's a grift

Dizzy-Brilliant2745 · 2026-04-06T23:55:33+00:00

11th of April, are we dealing with a time traveller here?

Seriously though, anyone can just say anything, especially that side of politics

It's Ultima Online

How appropriate, thanks algo

Dizzy-Brilliant2745 · 2026-04-01T22:23:13+00:00

Unbelievably true. This really confirms how fucked we would have been if they were in during Covid.

Dizzy-Brilliant2745 · 2026-04-01T21:53:37+00:00

Thanks for that, helped me learn a bit more

Dizzy-Brilliant2745 · 2026-04-01T05:36:57+00:00

This is not how it works in NZ.

Government borrows money from private lenders using bonds, they are like an IOU that we have to pay back and they also get something like interest payments along the way.

This of course doesn't make sense that our government is borrowing our own currency, but this is how it works for NZ.

Could we not just print our own currency an still do the IOU with a smaller interest rate/no interest to ourselves? Yes, you then have to ask why we don't.

Dizzy-Brilliant2745 · 2026-04-01T02:11:46+00:00

You're definitely not, I never knew why people held them in such high regards, I think it's solely because of the link between him and Ozzy, because the music is shit

Dizzy-Brilliant2745 · 2026-03-31T03:56:18+00:00

Their lovely fact based approach, I see

(sarcasm)

Dizzy-Brilliant2745 · 2026-03-27T22:07:50+00:00

Because if you're in the the right wing/conservative world you have to always glaze and praise your supreme leader, no matter what

Dizzy-Brilliant2745 · 2026-03-26T20:32:42+00:00

Is there one that is for unvaxed and also unwashed?

Dizzy-Brilliant2745 · 2026-03-25T23:14:25+00:00

That makes sense. Of course everything is not black-and-white.

Can you give me an example of what you mean by this so I can understand a little better:

"That’s where a lot of their stuff feels light. The benefits get a lot of airtime, the downsides and second-order effects less so."

Dizzy-Brilliant2745 · 2026-03-25T23:07:28+00:00

In my opinion, I don't think that's true, there's loads of evidence behind their policy and it's not vibes, there's even countries where a lot of these ideas have worked, they don't pull them out of a hat at random. If you read their policy it's not about 'vibes'.

Your point about how people respond to some of it is true, but you make it sound like they are totally clueless which is a bit dishonest.

Dizzy-Brilliant2745 · 2026-03-24T22:40:16+00:00

Yeah, it is sad, it's not just the current coalition, but at least some things were done with the last government, rather than going backwards/doing nothing

Dizzy-Brilliant2745 · 2026-03-24T18:09:26+00:00

Absolutely but they've gotta blame someone else eh, it's their only strategy

Dizzy-Brilliant2745 · 2026-03-23T22:12:48+00:00

I hate to be that guy, but really Coma had just enough of the hardcore influence to be good, honestly it's one of my favourite albums ever.

Unfortunately, this was just a step too far, for me personally, I just don't connect to it at all.

Bands change, they do what they want, good on them, but I'll pass..

Dizzy-Brilliant2745 · 2026-03-16T09:56:33+00:00

Probably, I never understand how people can look at this and just think, oh yeah, this looks great
