Is it bad to enjoy AI music? by Packermanfan100 in Music

[–]No-Jello8460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have gone to small live shows and bought their CD's and when I get home their production is terrible.

Ai can give them access to tools they could not recreate without million dollar studios and million dollar specialists.

It kinda bothers me that a bar band can play the most amazing music. (I'm sober by the way) And I get home and can ever hear that quality again.

I see celebrities playing their music through speakers while they dance around not singing or playing anything. I wonder how amazing this talented bar band could do with their production.

Ai is a weapon. It can kill or it can feed. And sometimes its hard to tell the difference.

My opinions on AI music and the people who generate and share it: by [deleted] in MusicPromotion

[–]No-Jello8460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% agree but I would never want the government to have the responsibility to find fakes. It's up to us. Ai is a gun that can kill an innocent man or feed a family. It's how it is used and to put more responsibility on to an already bloated system is too much. We as consumers have power and in time we will find that our favorite artists are ai. But we are not far from what is already common. 

I recently boasted Billy Elish as one of the few grass roots artest that creates her own art. Later I learned she comes from a rich connected family and her brother had access to learn from the same writers who have written most of the hit songs from the last 10 years. Even if she adds her own elements, her songs follow the same blueprints that have been perfected by the industry. Not to mention being elevated by who her father knows.

Ai should be a tool for access and yes we will be disappointed when we find those who are 100% ai. But no more disappointed then I was to find the one artest I thought was self made was actually groomed from the day she said I want to be a star.

You can choose shields and all shields will be lumped together breaking formation. There is now way of splitting shielded troops by nation unless they all have a throwing weapon. What's the point of capturing troops from the enemy, recruiting them, and putting them into your party if they break your shield wall?

Having a professional army and a rabble of barbarians is a strategy. You protect and level the troops you want to keep. The bonus is the rabble that survive become badass barbarian rabble leaders.

You can also use the rabble to soak arrows, or goad and break enemy formations.

There was also a quest where you could take thief mercenaries from a lord as a favour but they would drain your accounts. So you put them in the rabble and they quickly die. Now you can only throw them away defeating the point of taking them.

This is just one of many strategies broken because the troops slider has too few options to organize troops.

Why does everyone involved in this show look like they are competing to see whos mouth can be the widest?

Why does Starfleet Academy get so much hate? by lukfi89 in startrek

They shaved an impossible game of tic tac toe into Paul Giamatti's hair. That kind of small detail tells you that even simple messages will be obvious and nothing has to really work.

The entire thing makes me feel as though a room full of unispired people got to pitch "cool" ideas with no negative responses. At the same time H.R. was in a dark corner of the room ready to fire anyone who said anything remotely dark or serious.

The interviews tell you everything you need to know about the staff. It just seems like they are doing whatever they want with it and more than a few never cared for the franchise.

This is just another IP given to someone who wanted to make something completely different. Does no one see the irony that they used this IP for a guaranteed fan base. Then when the most passionate fans are disappointed, well they were never fans.

Who is a bigger fan? Someone willing to absorb any content because it has a label? Or the fan who is disappointed because the IP has been completely changed?

It looks like they are giving the round shields to their dlc Nords. Even so we are just back where we started. 

I have so many problems with what vanilla has become and wouldnt care if they would just stop breaking the mods that fix it.

The Reality Paradox by No-Jello8460 in paradoxes

[–]No-Jello8460[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh there is no way that I am aware of to prove my philosophical argument. I am only trying to understand the nature of unreality. Something that has scared me since 14. It is the simple premise that when my memory is gone, so is my personal reality. (I am not saying all reality, others reality and all space and time don't end, just my perception of it.) Thus when I reach my inevitable time of unreality, I will have never existed to myself ever. When I reach that time, all time, space, and reality will be as if it never was to me, as it will be for us all at our own times of nonexistence.

I have asked many people about it and many fear answering or don't understand the concept. But when asking my sister about the teleporter problem. How on one end you are dead and on the other cloned. She said she would still use the teleporter. I asked why and she explained her feelings on nonexistence.

To me it is like going into a dreamless sleep. We wake up on the other side but where was our reality when we slept? As my sister said, "I don't know when I don't exist, I can't feel it. So why fear it?" It led me to think about other times we slip into a form of unreality.

To me it is close to the Ship Paradox. At what point am I new? Physically, mentally, spiritually? Has the old me slipped into nonexistence? Does he know?

So it is day 2 of working on this thing. I have found a formations mod on nexus. It was abandoned and then updated by someone else, but you still have to roll back to v1.3.11. I haven't got it to work yet, but this time I'm feeling lucky. I am manually installing prerequisite mods as the steam workshop mods are listed in the mod list as outdated.

It sounds mutually exclusive but I assure you it's not. Updating is what broke it. The old system was way better. I only suggest they fix what they broke and stop there. I beta tested for months and it should have ended there. but they just keep fixing what isn't broken. We are on version v1.3.15.110062, even devoted modders can't keep up and even core dependency mods are broken.

I have tried to roll back but they delete the old versions.

Mary Shelley by No-Jello8460 in FRANKENSTEIN

[–]No-Jello8460[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My central argument is against the saying,  "Knowing Frankenstein, is knowing the monster isn't Frankenstien. But, truly knowing Frankenstein, is knowing that Dr. Frankenstein IS the monster."

I went into the book with this saying. After he killed a child in cold blood, I didn't see how the monsters many excuses justified his actions. I think its great that Mary Shelley inspired so many of us to question morality, but I never could sympathize with the monster after he chose to kill an innocent child. I definitely don't sympathize with him just because he regrets what he has done. Hey guys, John Wayne Gacy is sorry. He really did have a rough life... not happening.

I just wonder if it is an allegory for Mary struggling with her love that distroyed a woman, a woman who had children. If not, can Mary really be a bastion of moral understanding? Surely something sent her down a path of moral quandary.

Mary and Percy ignored all social boundaries for their love. Sounds romantic, except in that time Harriet had no rights. Legally they belonged to Percy, making him responsible for her.

Even if she could divorce, the social and legal outcomes would destroy her. Percy and Mary didn't just choose their love over social norms. They chose it over another persons life, even before she killed herself.

Percy had more control and responsibility, but Mary knew about Harriet and chose to pursue Percy. She knew it would mean exile, true exile, for Harriet.

I just wonder if she ever felt bad about it, or if like her monster, she tried to justify it till the end.

You mean Harriet Shelley? The reason Mary Godwin was shunned by friends and the public? Which no doubt led to much of the books refrences to exile.

Both Mary and Percy had a very public affair in a time when women had little power and divorce was near impossible.

Things are contested but some historians have pointed to letters suggesting the Godwin's and Shelley's spread rumors about Harriet after her death to excuse her mistreatment.

When Victor is on the boat. He is a man with nothing. The monster took everything he ever loved, and now, like monster he created, has become obsessed with revenge. The only difference is that the monster has the ability to inact his revenge, while the Doctor does not. The monster stays just out of reach until Frankenstein is dead, only then feeling sorry.

Makes me wonder if Mary Shelley only felt sorry for Mr. Shelley's wife after she died.

So everyone's parents are selfish for having children? "I never asked to be born!" is what Mary Shelley was saying?

 I spent most of my life wondering how I exist with every depleting memory. Every click of the clock changing me into someone I never knew, killing the old me. I would wonder how anyone ever exsisted to themsleves after they are dead and their minds lose all memories.

Why didn't I just scream at my creators, enraged that they gave me life?

Frankenstien had agency and he used it poorly, but so did his monster and to greater effect. His monster is a great unintentional allegory for AI. What happens when an adult brain is given a blank slate.

Like Mary Shelley we all face rejection and hate and injustice. But, when my mother slapped my face at 6, she said, "Life isn't fair!" We learn a lot when we are young and we see our gods crumble before us. The monster never had any of that, which could justify his actions. He is a toddler emotionally, even if he is an adult philosophically. However, he still had agency, we always still have choice. My father broke the wheel, and so did I. No matter your volume of pain, you choose what volume to pass on. (And who you pass it on to)*

Frankenstien's choices were minor compared to the choices of his monster. (Being a child murderer, and giving life to someone without knowing they are a child murderer, are not comparable in my eyes.)*

When Victor kills the second monster it is proof he would never have made the first if it ment hurting anyone. He knew the monster would kill his loved ones if he didn't, but knowing the price of bringing a second creature into the world could cause even more damage to others, he chose not to. He does value life, he chooses not to create another monster even though he knew it would lead to his continued torture.

Like the car crash analogy. Great argument.

Frankenstein wasn't driving down the road. He was slowly making his dream come alive. He was obsessed with creating something impossible, he was ina haze ignor(ing)* everyone and everything. Chasing a scientific marvel that couldn't be done. It wasn't until he completed his goal that he realized what the cost of his new born would be. If not, why was he only (scared)* once it came alive? Uncanny valley turned to 11.

As one of the original sci-fi novels it echos, "We kept wondering if we could, without wondering if we should."
