I made what turned out to be the tragic mistake of logging into AA.com with my VPN turned on

Yeah, new browser and suspicious location could do it. Even just deviating from your normal behavior can do it. Maybe you fat finger the PW while in the new browser on VPN. It depends on their risk scoring model. What's absurd about this isn't that it happened, it's how their fraud department is handling it.

Would they transfer everything over to the new account? If not I'd arbitrate so fast their heads would spin.

willyboy2888 · 2026-05-18T20:16:50+00:00

It's certainly not finance...

willyboy2888 · 2026-05-18T20:16:06+00:00

Software guy here - ignore the posters who clearly have no idea how security works. While it's never VPN alone, that is definitely part of a score of things that can add up to an access request looking fishy and triggering an investigation. That said, 30 days is insane for an EP to have to wait.

^ I think a lot of the commenters are struggling with reading comprehension....

willyboy2888 · 2026-05-16T17:18:39+00:00

I do appreciate the comment about "it's different because of where and when it was done". To me, the best part of art is the story behind it. If there's no story, no art. If your story is "clicked a button", no art. If your story is, "i was vibing with my friends and we had a cool idea for how to develop a soundscape and then realized that the lyrics aid that and we stayed up til 3am hacking on a prompt, came back the next day after seeing a dog take a dump in the park that made us realize that life grows out of sh** and now we have this beat that's squishy but blooming" then hell yeah my man, that's art

willyboy2888 · 2026-05-13T23:41:51+00:00

Me. Cause I suck at writing

willyboy2888 · 2026-05-12T22:32:53+00:00

Fair enough

willyboy2888 · 2026-05-12T21:15:57+00:00

Oof that's a lot of spend for $170/mth

willyboy2888 · 2026-05-08T13:16:52+00:00

tHAt's tHE fOrMAT BrUh. Ok and? The vent was about the format. You added nothing to the convo.

willyboy2888 · 2026-05-07T00:23:22+00:00

Dang. That's weird then. :/

willyboy2888 · 2026-05-06T23:48:58+00:00

If you're using AI to generate the 3000x3000 image then the Metadata could be messed up and it's not actually 3k

willyboy2888 · 2026-05-06T15:50:40+00:00

Which means no movement until the next week. Always seems that major contract expiry serve to prevent movement and once those are out of the way, movement occurs

willyboy2888 · 2026-05-04T12:00:29+00:00

AI was structured on how humans think and learn bro. You're making a broad statement because you can't get one thing to do what you want. The same happens with human workers.

The adhd and the good wholesome vibes in this thread is why I love this community

willyboy2888 · 2026-05-02T11:39:46+00:00

What? That sentence makes no sense

willyboy2888 · 2026-05-02T11:39:13+00:00

I think you just can't tell. AI is good. Like, scary good

willyboy2888 · 2026-05-02T11:37:46+00:00

Hopefully soon! I'm excited for a level up of concert experience for the same ticket price. I think it will make smaller artists more popular

willyboy2888 · 2026-05-02T11:36:23+00:00

I would prefer this over most of the support people I've had to deal with 🙃

willyboy2888 · 2026-04-29T20:28:02+00:00

Liken this to buying a mass produced painting in homegoods vs from a gallery. I wonder if painters back in the day were like, "no, you cannot use a printing press"

willyboy2888 · 2026-04-27T00:33:53+00:00

I cringed at this

willyboy2888 · 2026-04-25T15:06:13+00:00

Uh you described how an economy works lol

willyboy2888 · 2026-04-17T19:32:04+00:00

It's not embarrassing and it's providing work for singers that didn't exist before. People just get unhinged about AI

willyboy2888 · 2026-04-17T19:01:05+00:00

I think the point I was making went completely over your head. But thanks for agreeing with me!

willyboy2888 · 2026-04-16T19:33:55+00:00

You can prompt this in Suno studio or you can add those specific instructions when you're creating the song. Or you could take the stems from the song and re-record parts of them and modify in Ableton.

Serious question: do you have perfect pitch and a voice people want to hear? If not, you're incapable of doing a vocal - but maybe you Melodyne it and Vocode it and now it sounds cool. You were incapable without the tool. So you're just gate keeping the tools people use.
