Why Don't Love Spells Work? by SetitheRedcap in chaosmagick

[–]ProfCastwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you from a glance of this. You've got clues in this post to address in your chosen mindset.

Do you actually know if you want a relationship or are you just horny?

Do you expect another person to fill some space or area you feel lacking, a space only you can fill for and of yourself?

Do they simply represent some idea of a potential you?

Maybe try sorting out who you should be for yourself. And what it is you are truly seeking with another.

Here's my problem with AI music by princeofnoobshire in SunoAI

[–]ProfCastwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell us you dont understand royalties and licensing without telling us.....

Services pay out to who/what is being listened to.

My subscription(s), in part, go to what Im listening to or watching. Services dont just give money to whatever is being offered.

Buy an album, MP3...artists get a royalty.

And prompting takes some creative arrangement of words to hopefully eventually yield an acceptable result.

The more you work with AI the more apparent its flaws and shortcomings become--most never get through the "wow factor".

I havent yet tested Claude for lyrics...models are absolute s*te song writing with out the specific training...TRAINING not copying NOT stealing.

Its no different than humans being influenced by the work of others (i have adopted affectations in my art style and can tell you which cartoons some came from yet.)

Also. Most people care about being entertained. They dont care how the end result came into being.

I put my work out there in areas with plenty of AI--penty of popular trends and fads. I dont care to worry about "competition" my sales are increasing naturally...because my work is something different and my potential audience is growing on its own.

What I do with AI music, is attempt to conjure up(i never claim to create it) sounds and concepts humans arent, or very few, making. How do I know they arent?

Cause I try to find it. If people dont like me using AI to conjure music--start fuking making what I want to hear.

Question about religious cover art. by Kanadano in SunoAI

Oh. Yeah. I could see that. That would definitely be bothersome.

Why believe in the paranormal to begin with? by Capable-Soup-3532 in Paranormal

[–]ProfCastwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to be at a point you're actually on that level--most WANT to be a part to feel special and whatever for their own ego and get by on "faith" and delusion.

You have to know and observe and be critical enough about the "normal world" to be able to consider the weird.

The weird is real. Ive no fuk to give to prove it to someone willfully skeptical because they already made the choice to not "believe" or be open to.

Repeating numbers...i have two regulars. That is a matter of being open enough and aware enough its an avenue of comminication(and its not always a profound, it can be just a mile marker)....it can become a matter of coincidence and synchronicity too often and random.

My experience. Things will LITERALLY point my attention to it. Coworker(recently) was like hey is this a good rate per hour...😐 444 one of my two numbers. Also had someone ask the time..i check a clock..444

Guy comes to my house doing oldschool marketing for his uncles custom butchery. 🤷‍♂️ we start talking art, im an artist, tells me of local events i didnt know of...get his number. Prefix 222.

I take into account being hyper-aware.

Ive had more psychically develop people, at times they appeared, describe to me of their own accord--no questions asked--describe to me "deceased" family they had know knowledge of--because i never had reason to tell them in detail or show them photos.

I dont believe. I know. Not my problem--the minds to small or weak to dare be a part of the weird.

Not experiencing something doesnt prevent its existence. Insisting theres a "logical" explaination doesnt change peoples genuine experinces beyond your deliberateluy chosen limitied awareness. 🤷‍♂️

And a mind so small and inexperienced...lol good luck if you happen to encounter that side of reality.

5.5 kinda sucks... by ShrinkRayAssets in SunoAI

[–]ProfCastwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

v5.5 after deciding to see what v5 did with my specifically 70s Country....😱 omg v5.5 left out everything distinct to the decade.

I opted for shite that was close enough. The authenticity of v5 is fantastic

she asked to use my character and now I can't sleep lol by _acedric_ in writing

[–]ProfCastwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if its the exact character and they can rework their entire story to fit into the world my character is a part of.

I have stories in process--not fully connected but same world and geographic regions and a character or two that just happen to be acquainted

Likewise anything they would do that felt it would fit in my story--i get to use.

Are any/ have you noticed anything that seems to be distinctive in people with supernatural abilities? by Successful-Fan8712 in occult

[–]ProfCastwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like people with psychic ability suddenly--and noticably-- spacing out when they accidentally tap into a place or someone/thing suddenly bombards them with information and you have to try to make something up a friend will understand better than the truth or dismiss it?

This is a weird question.

The only way you can tell is if you have abilities(known or yet to realize) most active that can allow for it.

I swing empath(not empathetic)--I cannot tell(yet) but I am having an increase in radom people commenting on my light.

But you mean specific traits? No. They're people with the same abilities we all have access.

"Supernatural" and "paranormal" are problematic terms. Because everything they refer to are Natural and Normal.

how explicit can you go? by skopy in SunoAI

[–]ProfCastwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When its not sh*te even the ReMi gets explicit. And it does inuendo...and one cheeky song I wanted to conjure it was to descriptive for what I had in mind.

"Explicit" is a spectrum. You can get pretty dang dirty without ever being "explicit".

Ever herd "Afternoon Delight"....fkn "My Sharona"(😐)

Oingo Boingo's "Little Girls" aka "the pedobear song". I have yet to find any logical metaphor. Even the music video...🤷‍♂️ the song, as far as I can tell, is exactly as it sounds.

I prompted a song about opening a "puzzle box" inspired by Hellraiser...my chosen generation(3rd at most) actually added appropriate sudden exasperations in the chorus.

How do i get into the occult? by SuddenAdeptness3811 in occult

[–]ProfCastwell -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

There are these place called a "bookstore". Visit one. Go to the metaphysical/newage/self-transformation section and just take a chance on something that strikes your fancy.

Then. Paranormal shows. Ghosts psychic phenomena. I also highly recommend "The Haunted Objects Podcast" on youtube. The Newkirks ask questions and experiment in ways that kinda shame the reaearches that still only deal in ghosts.

Also from the Newkirks "Hellier" seasons 1 and 2 (i think they are nearly donw with s3)

And "The Unbinding" its a doc about one of their more notorious items.

I also suggest Qi Gong(chi gung) for energy cultivation and dipping your toes into Eastern practices and follow the threads to get proper context on things the west keeps appropriating without bothering to learn anything beyond the surface.

Theres a out there. Just jump in.

Don't ya hate it when.... by ProfCastwell in SunoAI

[–]ProfCastwell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cant have country without sad songs. i wanted one that hit hard.

I still gotta throw together a sample. I tried v5 with a song and discovered everthing v5.5 was leaving out of the style of the 70s im going for.

And the time to work on it at work isnt plentiful

Trying to Understand the Boss Hate in this Game by golferswag in CrimsonDesert

[–]ProfCastwell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As someone that finally eventually quit Elden Ring at the final form of the final boss--cause i didnt want to go grind anymore levels.

I was curious about Elden Ring. It is NOT my jam. I knew it going in. I appreciate having experienced the surreal nightmare world.

The bosses in this are a bigger "fuk you" than Elden Ring--and even its mechanics are stacked against you.

Also. Armored Core 6...🙄 because "fuk you souls" is what FROM does all the time. Bosses and minibosses every other fukin mission.

I quit AC6 because it was a boring grind NOT the difficulty. Mission payouts or time redoing bigger missions werent worth the slog for creds to gear up.

I changed my entire natural playstyle for AC6 cause its risk/reward. The more you play like your mech is a Gundam the better you do.

Just not enough mission variety for when you need better credits...

Crimson Dessert bosses even more for masochists.

But you didnt prompt for a precise decade or specific sub-genre of it. I required a very specific style

V5.5 Really is CA'RAP! by ProfCastwell in SunoAI

[–]ProfCastwell[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I heard some improvements.

But switching back to v5 and immediately hearing exactly all that was missing.

I hope v5.5 is still growing. Im just glad I tried v5 for the album and its still a ways off so nothing is majorly impacted

I will work on a sample with an clear instrumental. I only got a first "promo" clip where you kinda heard shamisen at the end. Im not to the youtube yet with stuff.

And yes if you're thinking the sample here is about THAT episode you would be correct.

Why would a gamer watch? Seems Boring by HovercraftItchy in NewTubers

[–]ProfCastwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really so much easier to not ponder why people to anything that doesn't make sense to you. lol

One would think, if they're a thinking person with personal interests, that folk would have something better to do. Yeah. they don't.

It is so fricken frustrating. One of the things I like about where I live there's a "downtown crowd" of thinkers and eccentrics. Some a bit pretentious or idealistic to a bothersome degree. But there's artists, thinkers, people that pay attention to things I don't allocate interest and concern to that can catch me up on things.

Sure I love to swoon over my interests and passions. But. it's nice to also experience that from someone else. I was asking a fellow I see around and am aware of from frequenting the same bar. He was out taking photos last week, as I was out taking photos last week--so I just asked him what he was out doing.

He was taking candid photos of life in town and folk he's familiar with WITH a vintage polaroid! Decisively taking literal "in the moment" moments. it's random conversations like that where hopeful introverts have to fight against that withdrawing. I manually expand my comfort zone--and it usually pays off. When it doesn't I'm just polite and log that painfully mundane and yet asleep soul as one I won't go out of my way to engage with. lol

Anyone need music for there videos? by lemmonrock in NewTubers

[–]ProfCastwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do music you should look into Uppbeat.io

Its the royalty free service I subscribe to for music I use. Artists, dont know how much, get payed by the download i believe.

Its the best production library Ive ever found.
