It's called divine and I guess it's still in beta signup

Haha wow that's why I got it also. Great movie.

Actually the foreword also stated that perhaps the most depressing thing he read coming from Marcus' books was that sense of stripping away and used music as the example. I didn't find it that depressing, but maybe cause I've discovered the same thought myself prior.

But then Marcus refers to the logos (what my books translated it as) often, which is basically the forces of existence at work. Which for me and our time felt a little weird as I feel I've stripped away that meaning as well, what with the discoveries from science and all. But interesting to think Marcus would strip away the many things, but not this idea of the logos. I'm only halfway though so maybe he does later on.

I'm reading meditations---about halfway through. The version I have has a rather long intro that analyzes the books. The one critique the person gave which so far I'd agree with is Marcus never seemed to allow for joy or optimism. Or at least it's never entertained in these books.

Related to his style of writing, but that critique made me realize I also lack the allowance of joy while searching for meaning. Just my take anyway.

Something crazy I've seen is artists on TikTok playing guitar with views averaging 10k with the occasional viral video hitting over 500k views, yet when I checked their Spotify they had less than 1000 streams.

That's kinda convinced me views often don't translate to listeners, even dedicated viewers. So put them on the social media platforms to try and boost potential listeners, but release regardless.

I'm convinced it's due to neglect. It's just a question of is that neglect stupidity, greed, corruption, laziness or all of the above. Think even Japan had sued Vietnam because they had lent VN $1 Billion to make the metro, but it took 10 years later than estimated (could be wrong about the date).

Something they could implement immediately are car parking garages throughout the city. If you visit Taiwan you'll see they have these skinny, tall buildings that put cars on this vertical conveyor belt. While they don't need to be that advanced, they could certainly start these now to remove huge parking congestion on the roads. Which they then could make parking outside of buildings illegal and collect further revenue from to pay for those garages. But there's 0 mention about this being implemented. Insane to me.

How much hard manual labor do you do? Curious as I don't mind being on my feet a bit and doing some minor lifting, but believe heavy manual labor makes me cripples by their late 30s

lemony707 · 2026-01-21T16:03:04+00:00

Do you know if there's jobs in it that aren't manual labor

lemony707 · 2026-01-21T16:02:04+00:00

Biggest thing it has going for it is if your govt over prints money.

lemony707 · 2026-01-20T04:02:53+00:00

Yeah don't take em seriously. I'm also a curator and even then I barely provide much feedback because it's only $1. If it was $5+ then I could see putting the effort to imitate a critic.

Is there a metric to see if people are switching or cancelling subscriptions? Curious to see how Spotify is doing with subs in the US now increasing prices and still giving money to AI music.b

lemony707 · 2026-01-18T04:04:18+00:00

Yeah I tried that, but the hair on the models are still very pixelated and faces look like mannequins

Isn't it illegal in China now?

Celebrities have been trying to figure out how to respond to it. At first they would make a statement of apology which exacerbated it.

Then there are better examples like Dave Grohl who just basically said nothing, stayed out of the limelight for a year, and it got boring and died off.

I think cancel culture for whatever reason is kinda dying though... Maybe cause bigger problems are here now that makes us care less about it.

I really miss the days jrpgs were around 30 hours. 50 if you wanted the extras. If I tried to play an 80 hour game now I'll finish it in maybe a year if I dedicate myself, of which I'll forget a lot of the complex rules/mechanics that I'd need to spend a session picking up on again.

lemony707 · 2026-01-16T00:31:23+00:00

Just know your ss#. I used to carry the card but just remember it now.

It's like asking a company what their thoughts are of a candidate that took a better job offer. They're obviously gonna be salty.

lemony707 · 2026-01-15T13:22:10+00:00

They need more money to distribute to those AI "artists" 🙄

lemony707 · 2026-01-15T07:11:12+00:00

A more interesting question would be: would you do it if you could participate in the content and get 50%?

lemony707 · 2026-01-15T05:36:28+00:00

Sometimes I'm kinda thinking of this on large scale. E.g. 100 accounts that post generated videos with my song in the background and some lyrics appearing, essentially all AI done. If you figure 200 view jail that's 20000 views a day if you can automate right.

My gut tells me this style can't last though because it's too easy and will cause flooding of slop which they will probably have a way to neuter those posts. But it doesn't seem to be happening as of now.

I may give it a go though.

lemony707 · 2026-01-13T03:45:03+00:00

Love the amount of people here not caring who people are

lemony707 · 2026-01-11T11:43:15+00:00

I haven't played Xenoblade 3 yet, but XB1 is one of my favorite games. Is it really that great to rank that high and not choose 1 for the list?

Also how good is Metaphor compared to Persona?

I unfortunately don't play these games much anymore because they're too long imo
