The autotune “argument” is sooo narrow. There are many many genres that generally don’t use autotune at all (eg. metal).
I feel like Rick is just another old white guy who’s mad about Hip Hop but doesn’t want to say it directly.

IMO metal has gotten much better. For example, I think bands like Serpent Column and Blood Incantation are doing amazing things for black metal and death metal respectively.
I feel similarly with Hip Hop. But I admit both genres are oversaturated with bad music.
I’m pretty sure Rick Beato only listens to shitty music.
It’s much easier to take phones away from students than to stop profiting from theft.
Ah yes… Affectionate condescension and authoritarianism. The best kind.
It’s disappointing but not surprising to see so many people (on lemmy) willing to violently control children and their access to tech, information, etc.
It’s pretty telling when people don’t want to do anything about the many other much bigger causes of psychological harm. Where’s the law that stops cops from harassing minority youth? Yeah right.
Peeps are literally upvoting Ron DeSantis. Fascism is not the goal here. Wake up, y’all.
Schools are literally mini-prisons that feed into actual prison.
The important thing is not reasonable control but complete control.
You gonna understand the state is run by paranoid sociopaths. They’ll dream up any delusional scenario, then use it as an excuse for more surveillance, prisons, wars, control, etc.
For example, imagine somebody hacks a major social platform and sends a fake message from AI/deepfake Trump to thousand of chuds inciting some kind of fascist terrorism. It might sound unrealistic but what if?!?!?! I could imagine something similar happening with current tech. (I think it’s part of why they’re trying to ban TikTok.)
In general I feel like “AI” is almost entirely lies, hype, grifting, etc. But I could imagine some scenarios that the state might want to disincentivize.
Fraud victim commits additional victimless fraud
Don’t the forget the extortionate textbooks gatekeeping who can understand the extortionate journals.
Gotta love how all the images in this article are straight from the noplace media kit (link to google docs in footer).
TBH I respect Toyota for being realistic more than grifters like Musk. The fact is that car will never be a sustainable replacement for cars. They’re here to save the auto cartels, not the planet.
But on the other hand public transit and LEVs are much more realistic. I would very much like to see a Toyota e-bike.
Excellent explanation (and disclaimer). I might just add another 2 cents…
It’s not just that “the market fails” to account for many “externalities”, but also that the market is systemically incapable of ever accounting for very many, very important externalities.
IE. The space of externalities >>> the market space. For example if the market priced in the suffering of labor (by paying living wages+, etc), that alone might make the market unaffordable. Similarly with climate justice, etc. The exploitation of these externalities is largely the basis of “profit”.
While alt-imperial media promotes the genocide of ukrainians, imperial media promotes the genocide of palestinians.
That’s why most people will never see through this endless haze of lies, disinfo, propaganda, etc.
We are but not like that lol
IE. Not effectively.
Too busy genociding children in palestine.
Actually the “rule of law” looks exactly like this.
Pretty sure those robed cultists are functioning as intended.
Yeah, I prefer What Makes This Song Stink.
