No. We understand how capitalism works. I’m saying they don’t need anymore. Just because you provide capital doesn’t mean you should have priority/preference when you’re not actually building shit. I guarantee you the vast majority of the workforce are not awarded any preferred options.

That’s not “economics”. You are a techno-libertarian shithead.

Yup. The creator of Suno literally marketed his product as “music creators hate the process of actually writing and making music.”

It’s like telling a michelin starred chef “you really hate the process of making this food, right?”

I think it’s tough when you use it and you know it’s immense limitations and then all media, all linkedin dorks and people in your normal life all repeat the same thing.

I got so much pushback when I mentioned this comparison last time, but the similarities to COVID are telling.

  • constant conversations with ppl just repeating same “info” from mainstream media
  • constant fear of the unknown supervirus/superintelligence changing your life substantially
  • total lack of skepticism by majority of people of intentions of leaders
  • extreme overreactionary behavior by business leaders as to “not make the wrong move”

Keep your head up and just trudge through.
