It is not now, nor ever will be anything like the way it’s depicted in sci-fi fantasy. We are never going to achieve anything close to a Star Trek-level of symbiosis with tech. Everything we ever do will be weaponized, and what can’t be turned on our adversaries and ultimately ourselves, will be used to make the less intelligent even more-so.

It’s going to drain our last vestige of creativity as it runs headlong through our every culture, and in its wake will be the unmotivated remains of what passion for the arts we once had, until one day- we will be nothing more than animals walking in and out of rooms.

Trust that nothing good lies that way.

relying on AI makes people stupid?

Who knew?

And this still won’t be enough to stop people from using it.

Boycott everything in America. I say this as an American. It doesn’t get better for anyone here until it gets better for everyone out there. And the powers that be, need to come to terms with the fact that this is the way it’s going to be.

We celebrate?

Personally, I’m going with Guinness.

Cool. Thanks for helping to get us trump. It’s appreciated.

I fucking loved it in the 80’s. Yeah, the music, the films… so good. The politics were crap as it usually is. And I’ll say that even with the latest admin being wait it is, diversity has come a long way- but the 80’s were an oasis for me.

I remember it bitter-sweetly. We can never have that again.

bUt mUh gEnoCiDe!

I honestly cannot believe you are all still on about this shit after seeing how your ignorant decisions to not vote not only still caused the genocide to continue but it came with a side of LGBTQ+ persecution, Concentration Camps, illegal deportations, and weaponizing the military against civilians.

It didn’t stop just like we told you it wouldn’t. And Trump did exactly what he told you he would.

You don’t listen because you think you know everything. You all sat there with your smug indignation thinking you were the shit with your flavor of the week issue. Just like every single fucking election before that.

You all always find a reason to not vote. And like fucking. Clockwork, you all always find a reason to bitch and moan about the results of the elections.

“Oh look! The cancer spread while we protested chemo! Who knew! Good thing I’m not a dUmBoCrAT though. WAAAAH! Trump sucks!”

I’m just thinking about all of the gigs and contracts musicians and other artists are going to miss out on because some smug kid with a laptop can coherently type a string of words into a field a produce what gets the job done for a quarter of the price.

It’s a shame.

Yet again, the rational voice is downvoted. Clearly no one bothered to read the article.

The resolution was not expected to pas.

‘Allow no nuance, logic, or common sense get in the way of our manufactured outrage!!”

What was disingenuous?

It was fucking AI slop posing as real people.

we really did stay out all day until the street lights came on, and hang out in pizza places and malls

We don’t need AI slop to remind of of this. All it will do is bastardize the memory and replace it with cringy imposters of what once was.

All YouTube is nowadays is pretty much slop. AI voiceovers and horrible videos of “people” pretending to be normal and real.

It’s all real here, no filters, no screens.

… said the AI.

Fuck I hate that garbage. The 80’s were amazing. We don’t need new tech ruining that memory.

It was sooooo good in retrospect.

God I hope you’re right. We create such beautiful things. I’d hate to see humanity become so hollow that we stoop to accepting AI slop as art.
