>Isn't this a separate issue in itself too? One of "quality". If AI generates poor quality content, than I would think the poor quality is the problem, not the producer of it.

Yes, but who will review the mountains of slop to determine whether it is of acceptable quality? The main problem AI introduces is high volume at low quality, often overwhelming the human resource bottlenecks these systems have in place.

I feel this. Thinking about the domain, typing a bit, maybe having a new idea while I'm eating on a break now feels like a memory of heaven. Today I'm constantly going over painful "grilling" sessions where I have to read mountains of dense prose where each word maps to some "glossary" from previously generated docs and figure out what is overengineered bullshit and what is actually necessary.

So Warren Buffet and Michael Burry don't understand fundamental analysis and stock market patterns?

>No one serious cares if there's a bubble in the stock market because the financials are solid

If the financials were "solid" it wouldn't be called a bubble. People are pointing to the bubble saying it's a bubble exactly because the financials are not solid and the expected revenue that would make the valuations and investments make sense is vaporware.

Two things can be true at once:

- AI is a useful tool and we're still seeing steady improvements in performance and efficiency

- There is a bubble in the stock market, fed by unrealistic expectations of what AI can achieve in the timeframes the investments need to provide returns in (e.g "AI is pretty useful and delivers productivity improvements in coding, law and other desk jobs" vs "in 12 months everyone will be out of a job and/or humanity will be exterminated, AGI is almost here, winner takes all")

So yeah, the schizophrenic Yudkowsky tier hype bullshit should hopefully disappear soon and then we can move on to something else.

This post's point is that musical "quality" is not a unidimensional feature and that mechanically optimizing for these "quality" metrics can kill something interesting in music.

>LOL, yeah that's gone over real well in the US.

It has, actually. You don't need to really deport them, if they're in a position where you can threaten them it's enough:

>And more to your point, have there BEEN any climate activists sounding the alarm over mass migration?

What's "my point" here? That a rightoid moral panic bait topic is less important than the rapid poisoning of the atmosphere that's pushing the planet into unlivable conditions?

My point was actually just pointing out that your scenario where the birth rate goes down and the population "just shrinks" is not interesting to your ruling class, which is why it doesn't happen. It is also why it pushes tradwife psyops and other birth rate and "race replacement" panic bullshit.

Have you tried eating meat or chicken without preparation? It's pretty disgusting. My mother used to leave chicken marinating in lemon overnight just so it would be edible. With tofu I can just throw some ginger and paprika on it, put it in the air fryer and it tastes awesome.

You do know that capitalism requires labor and a shrinking workforce is undesirable for capital owners, right? Do you believe that importing large amounts of cheap, socially fragile (you could just deport them if they misbehave) third worlders is a policy decision pushed by climate activists?

>Vitamin D3

Irrelevant amounts come from diet, adequate amounts come from sun exposure. Everyone should be supplementing this.

>Taurine, creatine, Carnosine

Irrelevant, synthesized by the human body.

>Retinol

Best consumed from carrots, sweet potatoes, etc. Only relevant animal source is organ meat (liver), which most people aren't consuming.

>B12

Even meat lovers get deficient on this, dietary intakes are usually inadequate. My mother and sister are rabid meat eaters and supplement it, everyone who has the means to should.

> it's not because Russia sent malnourished troops on donkeyback and lost 27 million men that it "did more" to beat the nazis.

Classic "asian hordes" trope. 80% of German casualties were on the eastern front. Not 30%, not 51%, 80%.

>So who's poising the Web here? TFA's author with its political views and priorities (apparently not denouncing the evilness of the iranian regime in 2026 nor denouncing the evilness of nazism in WWII but denouncing... the acts of Belgium in fucking 1880)?

Ah yes, let's just forget colonialism, we're so over that, just stop mentioning it already. Let's talk about what is comfortable and convenient for me.
