I don’t buy this. I think this take is tech-washing the problem.

Some friend and I were discussing how poorly 24 has aged, but also how different the world views its subject matter now.

Yesterday I heard an 11yr old - who I’ve witnessed watching AI brain rot content recently - decry that some channel he was shown was “AI slop”, and was incredulous about being shown it. Now I know kids can change their mind very quickly and will just parrot what they hear and think is cool, but it felt good to hear a young kid say this to another, and essentially be mad about it.

You can delete a video from your history and it will stop the algo from doing that. But yeah, it’s a really annoying algo.

I call this “cashew mode”

I’m the “tech guy” in my family and friend groups. Every time I need to help someone with something I have this experience and it’s crazy.

Yes, thank you for making my argument. The average person doesn’t have the right use case scenario in their day to day life.

I’ve never had a calculator lie to me. Or hallucinate a number. The AI is a tool argument is getting tired. I haven’t seen it do anything useful at all that helps my day to day life.

Guess I’ve purchased my last Sony Console

Fucking yikes

Sorry, I should have seen and responded to this sooner.

For Refused - Rather Be Dead, Liberation Frequency, and Thought Is Blood are good starting points.

For Incendiary - Front Towards Enemy, Bite The Hook, and Echo of Nothing

For Propagandhi - essentially anything in their discography is good music and very politically charged. I find anything in their top songs to be good examples.

Refused

Incendiary

Propagandhi

I appreciate you mentioned Immortal Technique. Hip hop as a genre is generally very political, and doesn’t get a ton of recognition for it.

I don’t disagree with that at all. In fact as a population I think we need to police ourselves. We should take stronger action towards those in power, as we are the much larger power. I’m just tired of the defeatist attitude. Someone has to enforce the actual rules.

Because we still live in a country with rules. You’re on this site, you must see the headlines daily that read “judge blocks trump…”

If we don’t believe in the rule of law at all then we are truly lost. Attitudes like the one you described above are getting us nowhere.

Mostly just decades of brainwashing of the culture war. I’m an urban leftist who moved from a big city to a very small one in the rural countryside and the sheer amount of leftist ideals that get spouted by conservative voters I hear regularly is staggering. They have no clue that what they want from life is all left of center.

Follow that link above. There’s a few great online communities around this. One involves keeping these camera out of places that don’t have them yet, for example.

Check out Benn Jordan and Louis Rossman on YT as they are two people spearheading this from a social standpoint. Louis specifically regularly provides links to contacting your legislators about it, including things to say to them. It’s faster and easier than you’d think to do.

Everyone wants to be where everyone else is at.

They’re already murdering people on camera. What’s a body cam going to do?

I’m glad they did this. Confident in my choice to remain with Bandcamp.

Got one destroyed by the alarm clock just this morning.
