Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Generative AI killed my niche music subgenre, and how I lost two longtime friends to AI psychosis.English
314·15 days agoI worked security in a dubstep club. I’ve seen your game. It isn’t music.
This is now your second post ever in 2 years. You have no hstory. No reason to believe you even exist.

517·15 days agoThis is a reddit repost from an account with no other activity, so anyone replying to ‘OP’ here is talking to a machine.
To the point of the post, trance, edm, dubstep, and whatever the hell else you want to call it was always generated music. To make a song, you sample someone else’s music, cut it up, and put it over one of the stock backgrounds your keyboard gives you. Sure, there’s people doing more than that and actually making music, but you cannot deny that the process is as I describe.
Ever been to an EDM show? Ya. One guy stands up there and ‘spins’ … meaning he plays pre-recorded music and acts like he’s performing. Kareoke is a more creative act than live EDM.
For those of us who listen to music by humans, this whole complaint is amusing.
I saw Elder and Blackwater Holy Light play last night. I’m about to go see Sleep and Pink Mountaintops play tonight. That’s music. Real people with real instruments doing real stuff on a real stage.
I’ve added some links. Starting with just a few while I figure this out. Let me know if there’s more I should include.

Dutch is not a serious language. Or so I hear …
Oh sure. I get to be a slutt datafag for 6 hours, and then you come along and ruin it. Thanks!
Ya, I get it that this is the whole joke of the post, but I’m bemused to discover that I’m a slutt datafag.
I had not anticipated climbing to such a pinnacle in my lifetime.
My boss designed a whole decomm system with wait periods and shit built into an app.
He still tells me, “You can just shut that down and delete it”.
I don’t. I make that jerk use his own system. “Put in a decomm, and I’ll take care of it.”
We left that shit running and blocked it with ACLs on the switch.
The guests are kinda black-box stuff to us. Don’t want to mess with em.
In this case, all we did was disable some ACLs. The machines are still running.
But ya. The point is to preserve whatever is actually needed. So don’t nuke it before they can scream.
Ya man. Google it. I’m not that creative. Did not make it up.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Quadruple moderation is killing lemmy. It’s a Gift to RedditEnglish
4·1 month agoWow. I really hate reposts and cross-posts, and I block the accounts that make them.
I sort of thought I was alone in that, figured other people must enjoy that crap.
I am amazed to see my exact viewpoint expressed here a couple hundred times over.As to the point the post makes, I’m new to moderation, and I read the post because that seemed like a subject I should review.
The post looks like useless hand wringing to me.I don’t see anything worth concern with lemmy moderation.
I’ve pissed off a couple mods in my time on lemmy and gotten banned. Every one of them was a community I have disagreements with, and its fine that we don’t talk.
I don’t feel I have ever been treated unfairly. In fact, the only mod action I ever disagreed with on lemmy was reversed after I discussed it with him on YPTB.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•We Misjudged the Furry Fandom. Paging /u/AbyssianEnglish
31·2 months agoWell … I don’t agree with that, but furry harassment is a good barometer of a group.
If there’s no furry harassment, your trolls are not doing their job properly.

32·2 months agoHaha. Furries.
No two hour video is going to change my opinion.
I was there when it all began. I saw the travesty.
Nothing has changed since, except anon got bored and has slacked off on enforcement.Now, consider bronys. There’s a group we need to respect.
Guys in beards and diapers with baby horse dolls.

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Post removed for asking about clarity on a mainstream media possibly being transphobicEnglish
161·2 months agoLooks to me like the mod was entirely correct. If you need to ask this sort of thing, try doing it without using the bait format.
Christ. “elaborating on why i was asking for confirmation” Talk like a human, not some fukin clanker.
Start over.
Don’t act like a troll.
There might be someone interested in engaging in your agenda, if you don’t make it so obvious.
YDI.
