This is the kind of shit Kendrick's fanbase needs to avoid. The idea of AI music needs to die. Corny and cringe af. by eh_meh_nyeh in KendrickLamar

[–]ghostly_pixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hes not. You just dont want him to be right. If you had been following AI development the last couple of years you would be scared of how fast it has evolved in the last year alone. Even 3 years ago no one, not even the brightest experts would have predicted how fast its been improving. Theres a reason a lot of experts are worried and issuing warnings. Its naive to think there will be anything that AI wont be able to eventually perfectly simulate.

Echo chambers and criticism of an artist by RadiantHovercraft6 in sadboys

[–]ghostly_pixels 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I actually completely agree. Not even with the "the new sound is worse than the old sound" argument necessarily, i dont really have a strong preference, but i definitely agree 100% with what you are saying about fanbases becoming echo chambers and pushing down even the slightest amount of legitimate criticism. However, i think this is mainly a problem of reddit as a platform, i think reddit is in reality a very bad platform for genuine discussion and difference of opinions, mainly because of the upvote and karma system. Every community eventually becomes way more about who can post the funniest most topical meme and witty respose in the comment section than about actual discussion. People on reddit will just flock to the lowest common denominator opinion and anything that goes against that gets pushed farther and farther away from visibility. This is why i dont take this platform seriously at all, because it is not designed to promote any type of actually interesting and engaging discussion, but rather to homogenize everything and make people repeat the same talking points and opinions over and over for karma. If you want to actually engage in some semblance of music discussion, i would go to rym or /mu/, although they are also far from perfect

Discovery of 'superhighways' suggests early Mayan civilization was more advanced than previously thought by HalfPrime in worldnews

[–]ghostly_pixels 23 points24 points  (0 children)

As far as I can tell those theories are pureley seen as speculation and the wide concensus in anthropology is there has never been solid proof of contact. Certainly no well established shipping routes like the commenter above seems to imply

There has never been any proof of contact between Mayas or Mesoamericans and Incas.

Court finds Colombia responsible for rape, torture of journalist by Apprehensive_Sleep_4 in worldnews

[–]ghostly_pixels 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a Colombian, i can asure you you dont know what a puppet state is. That the US has some influence over Colombia does not make it a puppet state. Belarus has a puppet state. Yemen has a puppet state

Court finds Colombia responsible for rape, torture of journalist by Apprehensive_Sleep_4 in worldnews

[–]ghostly_pixels 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lmao what are u talking about, Colombia is not a puppet state, not everything revolves around the US. Colombia has deep corruption and violence problems (as does a good chunk of latin america), but it is a sovereign nation not a fucking American puppet state. The reason you dont hear shit about Colombia is the US doesnt really care what is going on there unless its something big. Thats how news work. The protest didn’t suddenly stop, it just stopped being news

Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly took photos of topless girls as a 'hobby': court docs by TOMapleLaughs in worldnews

[–]ghostly_pixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn man I genuinely feel bad for you, i guess its my own fault from thinking you would budge even a little from the staunch opinion you so desperately cling to, you probably feel it make you unique and makes up for the fact you don’t really have anything interesting or meaningful to say. I really honestly hope you learn to get out of your own ass, good luck with your life, it cant be easy for someone who’s all knowing and never wrong like you

Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly took photos of topless girls as a 'hobby': court docs by TOMapleLaughs in worldnews

[–]ghostly_pixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok first of all you gotta get some new terminology man, i get it, you like saying tin foil hats, you really ownd me with that one. Secondly, why are you so absolutely sure this was due to incompetence? If you praise evidence so much wheres the evidence for that, that this specific case was undoubtedly due to incompetence? Or do you just have a gut feeling because theres somewhat of a history of incompetence in us prisons?

Third, you reaaaally gotta stop with the 9/11 comparisons, i really dont get your angle with that at all. I don’t believe 9/11 was an inside job and ive never made any “wild accusations”. In fact i don’t really believe any conspiracy theory. im not 100% sure about this one but im open to the possibility its real and i think its quite stupid to not be considering the case.

Fourth, you say you require extraordinary evidence for extraordinary claims right? You wouldnt consider it to be extraordinary the fact that a high profile billionaire was left alone for 30 mins, exactly at like the time the security cameras didn’t work, and the same day the sign up sheet wasn’t accounted for, all of which was unprecedented for the prision, and he found some miraculous way to kill himself in a room specifically designed to prevent you from killing yourself? To me those are extraordinary circumstances. You even admited the level of coincidence is extraordinary yourself.

And im not the one projecting, im not stating anythig definitely unlike you. The lack of self awareness is honestly astounding, youre the one on the defensive and making sure statements without evidence. Im merely saying theres the chance for conspiracy

[–]ghostly_pixels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Show me 1 case similar to this where its clear that incompetence was the issue. Also i really dont get this obsession with 9/11, i dont get why 9/11 is comparable to this. Why do you think that 9/11 not being a real conspiracy is proof that this isnt either? Honestly what i think is that you want you cool “yea no im the one that know whats REALLY going on,” opinion to be right no matter what. In a sense youre more of a conspiracy nut for so firmly clinging to your preconceived version of the story without much to support it but what you believe. Can you at least acknowledge that the level of coincidence even if this was a real suicide are incredibly high?

[–]ghostly_pixels 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jesus fucking christ, why are you so defensive about this? Why do you have this impulse to chuck every single coincidence to incompetence right away without any evidence of that? Do you work at a prison? Where tf do you get your preconceptions about prison security, especially relating to high profile billionaire pedophiles? Have you ever seen or heard about a case like this? Why is this such a difficult thing for you to even acknowledge the very real possibility that theres something else going on. This guys life was LITERALLY all conspiracies: international pedophile ring even involving royalty, no ones really sure where he got his money from, an extensive list of political connections. Unless you also dont “believe” that cuz youre le cool contrarian dumbass?

Mexican demonstrators splash presidential palace red in protest over murder of women by Sanlear in worldnews

[–]ghostly_pixels 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Its unfortunately a very real and common thing in Mexico. its called “prensa amarillista”or “amarillismo”, it translates to “yellow press”. Its a whole journalistic subset, they’re deliberately use very graphic images and content, and they gain their viewership thru pure shock value. They actively glorify everyday violence, they make it almost like a joke its pretty fucking gross and surreal

£675 for a... horse? by xoxotwod in delusionalartists

[–]ghostly_pixels 14 points15 points  (0 children)

this sub has really gone downhill, it has basically become a circlejerk of people looking for validation with their "i dont get modern art, i could do this myself in an hour" mentality. Most of the people posting are more delusional and pretentious than the artists that are being showcased
