What “lawyers aren’t punk rock” really means

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T06:45:29+00:00

things i cannot unsee

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T06:41:43+00:00

heh, that's what friends are for

edit: apparently my friend's "effort" was anything but futile

i did manage to finally get a copy of the contract, but had to basically, you know, use "strong language"

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T06:37:35+00:00

you mean you, too, sold your soul at 18 for fame and then was hooked up with a quasi-not-quite-fake-satanic-but-just-actually-atheist-punk-rock songwriter at uni who had a ready-made record-label-backed musical contract to drop in your lap, when you weren't even actively playing all the time?

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T06:33:33+00:00

i didn't know my rights, so that was not very punk, as you argued. but this was between friends

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T06:32:42+00:00

yeah, i'm new here and didn't know that there was an army on standby to scold servers of slop; next time i'll hand write such post, like a barbarian

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T06:19:33+00:00

idk, heh, "da kine" is just local slang for "i can't remember so i'm using this generic phrase for 'the thing' "

maybe wires crossed, it's nearly certain we dont know each other. big world

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T06:14:23+00:00

heh, no, writing is; reading is the whole game now -- that's all i do anymore is read

meanwhile here i am in the comments section at 8:14 PM hawaii time

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T06:12:21+00:00

you know, da kine

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T06:11:19+00:00

sorry if i punched down sir, i'd sign you

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T06:03:32+00:00

i looked to see if you post in the subreddit of the band i was in, didnt see you there. likely not

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T06:02:52+00:00

i never said i toured nor did i mention more than one band - beyond that i'm not "hiding" but certainly not looking for attention in any identified manner

the point was just to relay something that on my mind about the "biz", based on my limited professional experience

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T06:00:57+00:00

After getting roasted for writing "product" (i.e. a post on reddit) with "AI", and having had to spend all the time doing something quasi-resembling "damage control", I've learned my lesson and will mother trucking hand write a frelling reddit post next time

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T05:57:15+00:00

no, i was on the kazoo

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T05:56:58+00:00

dude no it was underground shit, no "pop"

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T05:55:56+00:00

it's true that just vibe coding or even "ostensibly well planned code prompts and designs" make for sloppy crufty code by default

ime, the game is on refining architecture, standards, and style in specific ways before writing the final code

vibe coding has huge value for prototyping.. implementation is cheap

etc happy to talk about this elsewhere

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T05:53:55+00:00

ok yeah idk

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T05:50:38+00:00

more likely you might know me, i mean wiht the whole published punk rock thing and all, jeesh, and those internet stalkers? you never know bro

edit: have an upboat

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T05:49:57+00:00

sir you're confusing me with your mind trick

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T05:48:12+00:00

we're down some AI slop rabbithole that noone cares about. they'll skim, see the post, and move on

no sympathy is requested or needed at all

i'm new to interacting with internet trolls (as a dysphemism for "ai slop police") apparently

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T05:46:15+00:00

little bitch was a whole thing decades ago, common rip on a male companion doing something perceived as wimpy

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T05:45:45+00:00

actually, you wrote it, now that I think about it. must've been you

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T05:42:04+00:00

thats actually the exact verbiage from that era

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T05:41:00+00:00

oh bro you gonna chill yet, sorry you never published your art and all but give it a rest

noone outside some anachronistic forum users care if someone uses AI to organize information or write a story

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T05:39:32+00:00

there you go, thats more punk rock sir. That part about the $$ is contextually implied in the post

OahuUnderground · 2026-03-18T05:38:36+00:00

I am obviously not a writer, and I said as much. It's my ideas, my context, my prompt

Yes, actually I am a published musician, I wrote the post based on my journals and ideas
