Ask a German or British racist and see what their opinion is then
EDIT : My genuine belief is that thereās no ārace hierarchyā or anything like that, howeverā¦
People in general are treated differently based on race, with white people treated as if theyāre at the top of a heirarchy. Obviously , itās relative, for instance, a turk in poland and a turk in england are treated as ānot whiteā , a pole in poland is treated as white, when compared to the turk in poland.
Somehow, the pole loses their āwhitenessā when they migrate to the UK, and are treated with scorn and anti-immigrant rhetoric.
So, the desire for spaniards, and āpalerā LatAm originating people to be treated as white is a fallacy thatās trying to get them to be part of a privilaged group that may or may not get them in there, depending on the context theyāre in. A pale columbian is treated as white in LatAm, because they are whiter than Afro-Latinos. That same person will have a lot harder time being treated as white if they live in a border town in the USA.
Spaniards and other mediterranian europeans have the same thing happening to them. Oh sure, theyāre āWhiteā in the mediterranian, but not so much if they go to places like germany or the UK.
I read the little prose they left in the stream description. And I found myself wanting to go back to it several times. Something about the screams of āFA KYUUā sounds morphing into saxophones, being garbled, sometimes screamed, sometimes sung, the transitions that were talked about in the prose felt nice to listen to. sometimes it felt like it was coming up with genuine new ideas, for itself at least, that it didnāt generate before.
Then I started thinking of the level of art discourse we have in the modern world, especially visual arts, and ideas from Cage. And the nature of the music industry.
Jackson Pollock and his CIA funded splashes of paint are only worthwhile to people who actually like them. The AI generated saxophone warblings, the screeches that come out of it, the choppy, syncopated drum beats give me feelings. It is art to me.
There is a person behind the scenes, that curated the algorithm to bring out music in a certain way. Pho Queue doesnāt sound the same as a ābach faucetā , because of the human creativity and curation that went into the way the music is generated.
Brian Eno and John Cage made music with procedural generation features before the current wave of generative AIs. Itās an established perspective to have on music. Some performances use radios being tuned to frequencies just to add a new source of sound.
How is this stuff any different?
On the other side of the coin, does music made by humans inherently mean anything? The crap churned out by pop musicians that are flying around with private jets, composed by commitee with the end goal of generating another product for someone else to buy, is there any expression or emotion in there? What does the zillionth love song made by a billionaire have to offer that hasnāt been expressed a zillion times before?
Thereās some more to be written , like if I make music myself that relies heavily on timbre, or effects that I bought, whoās really doing the expression, and how? If the musical theory of what Iām playing is simple, and contributes less to the aesthetic feelings of the music Iām making than my guitarās timbre, the way I set up my effects pedals; is the expression Iām doing actually more in how I turned the knobs on my pedals to get an aesthetic than the actual notes I play? So then am I expressing something, or are the people who designed and manufactured my equipment?
But then we get into this :
I thought using loops was cheating, so I programmed my own using samples. I then thought using samples was cheating, so I recorded real drums. I then thought that programming it was cheating, so I learned to play drums for real. I then thought using bought drums was cheating, so I learned to make my own. I then thought using premade skins was cheating, so I killed a goat and skinned it. I then thought that that was cheating too, so I grew my own goat from a baby goat. I also think that is cheating, but Iām not sure where to go from here. I havenāt made any music lately, what with the goat farming and all.
The talk about AI is stupid. Itās a tool.
The talk about the IMPLICATIONS of AI, and who uses it to automate what, at the cost of who, is the actual argument to be had.
If some metal band that can barely scrape together enough money to tour uses AI to generate an album cover, it shouldnāt be taken as a horrifying act of taking money out of an artistās mouth. If BMG fires everyone they have on the art dept to only use AI art, thatās something to be concerned about.
bueno, la gente de argentina, mas que nunca estan en una situacion de sufrimiento. Necesitan ayuda para las cosas mas basica, y la unica meta de Milei es para sacar lo que necesitan.
VOS creo no estas sufriendo de nada, asi que callate la puta boca o sobrevivete como estan sobreviviendo los de mas.
