This is what a talented, skillful, and imaginative artist can create with the AI tool.

Not a fan of AI in any capacity. For if it ever surpasses human control it very well means the end of humanity. And, that is a great possibility in the near future.

Joe Conservative said...

The Tools have come a long way since my former attempts at music "video" creation (using a friend's photos).

Joe Conservative said...

How are mere mortals to compete with such fantastical creations? It makes one, no matter how clever and talented, feel small and inadequate, somehow in comparison. To be effortlessly surpassed by ego-less machines, and have own own egos crushed in turn. What are we to do?

Les Carpenter said...

Listen to Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, and many others.

Shaw Kenawe said...

I sent this video to my adult grandson, and he said the same thing.

Shaw Kenawe said...

And Schubert, Brahms, and Mahler. Don’t forget them!

Joe Conservative said...

AI learned from them as well. Can they not too be combined, and surpassed? How will you feel when they are?

The Left has always preached the need for "equality". I think we're about to find out what that really means in terms of our future relationship to AI.

Shaw Kenawe said...

What do the words, “ with liberty and justice for all” in the Pledge of Allegiance mean to you and other MAGA who oppose the “E” in DEI?

What about “ E pluribus unum” which will be on the Trump dollar coin? What does that mean to MAGA, who oppose the “I” in DEI?

“…and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.” Refers to our diverse population — our brotherhood. I suppose MAGA should avoid singing those words that reference our diversity as well?

The demonization of the concept of DEI is, IMO, a rejection of our basic American aspirations. We don’t always live up to them, but we believe in them.

At least the Americans I know.

Shaw, when one listens to Miller, Johnson, Musk, Christian Nationalists, and the host of anti American fascists now shaping policy in the federal government, law enforcement, and the courts it has become increasingly clear that the American dream, the American ideals that gave the people of this nation and indeed the world hope for a better brighter future are dead. Or, in the very least, dying.

Trump is merely the ignorant head of the symptom, no, the cancer that IS destroying any hope for a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive society. MAGA and Christian Nationalism, in my view represents the greatest evil in the world. Right up there with Zionism.

As an aging, soon to be gone from this life male form, I am so thankful I will not be subjected for much longer to the evils percolating in the authoritarian fascist and capitalist corporate minds now controlling this nation and fundamentally changing it for the worse.

America did this to itself. Hopefully future generations will have the wisdom to reverse the trend and actually find the light that has always been available to all. But has been ignored and rejected throughout human history. In this present degenerate time in America the light is so dim the next step is total darkness.

You really don't get the concept of race non-essentialism, Shaw. Your Party has been "selectively racist" for far too long to understand what it would take to realize MLK Jrs. Dream. Equity is Equality under the law. Not affirmative racism to benefit "some". Not affirmative racism as compensation for past "sins". of some. It's to make race a non-essential part on one's own identity, or one's "group" identity. Unfortunately, race has always been an "essential part" of the Democratic Party's group "identity".

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

@Les. Stop looking outside of yourself for America's problems, for a change. You might just discover what you share in common with those you criticize.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

We all have access to AI. Will its' creators maintain the "most advanced" versions for themselves? Count on it. Equality is of opportunities, not results. So go aggregate a $trillion like Elon did. There's nothing stopping you..

Joe Conservative said...

It takes individual "will to power" Les. Not a collective "will to helplessness".

Joe Conservative said...

THAT is the difference between a Consumer mentality, and a Producer mentality. Become a Prosumer, Les.

Joe Conservative said...

Acta non Verba!

Les Carpenter said...

I do not need, nor will I ever accept your white supremacist fascist Christian Nationalist and Zionistb worldview. For THAT would be looking outside .myself for the truth of others.

So , again, stuff it.

As a wise man once said, "You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger."

That truth, joe con man, will stalk you as long as you continue to hate decency and truth as you do.

I'm not the one wrapping my arms around hypocrisy, Les...

Les Carpenter said...

Last comment to you minus man, I will no longer respond to you or your shadow, con man joe. Your worldview and wilful ignorance is no longer worth anything but spitting on.

Joe Conservative said...

Isn't that what all your former comments usually were? lol!
