Bingo. How I see it too, it’s why I became a a leader in my kids activities too. Figure I might as well do whatever I can to help build a better generation.

Thanks bud, I’m trying. Shit ass world to do it in, but them and a lot of their friends give me quite a bit of hope.

Thing is, I don’t really care about the Kennedy center. I do care about this fucking asshole acting like he owns the entire city and can remodel it with his tacky aesthetic at will. Dude needs to be stopped, like now… This shit is fucking insane and I’m in shock every day that people have no desire to speak about any of this. When you try, you are labeled as disruptive or intolerant (I am intolerant of intolerance to be fair).

Not all of them. I’ve got three school aged kids, one plays guitar and saxophone, one plays clarinet and trumpet, one is just starting the trombone.

If anything, I am seeing the kids push back against this shit. My kids have an ear for and hate ai produced music; they get so angry about “clanker music”. They really value being able to make their own, and I love the constant noise of real instruments being practiced in my house.

Lots don’t care, but there are still many pockets of kids who hate all this as much as we do, and are pursuing a more analog lifestyle.

Belive me, I’ve tried. I’m an asssitant scoutmaster for my kids troop, and we camp about monthly in the summer. So, I’ve got lots of phone free weekends behind me. I’m also got kids in sports too, so go to games and meets.

I’m taking steps but I still have work to do.

I wish I had your brain. I feel like unless I have a constant stream of information coming into my brain, I might go insane.

It’s awful, and unhealthy, and I’m trying to figure out how to escape this paranoid insanity, but it’s what I’ve got until I can figure out the fix. Reminds me, need to schedule my next therapist appointment.

I just have to say, I really enjoy your writing style. Fun project, great post!

It’s because we have the worst possible people to steward us though this transition that is being forced on us.

Living though history sucks. What is happening in the world is not ok, I have no idea what’s going to happen, but there will be somber lessons taught about all this in the future.

This is so that he can call it a national emergency and bypass all laws, requirements and such.

This is the kind of existential dangers that AI poses. Not skynet, no rogue AI escaping, no AGI that decides another fate for us… it’s going to happen because of a stupid human mistake as we abandon our critical thinking abilities. One day we’re going to launch a nuke, or blow up something in the wrong country, not AI, us, blindly following the hallucinations of a billionaire’s toy.

I’m starting to get annoyed that Sheeran is getting all the hate, save an equal amount for kraft, people…

Update- folks, this was a joke. I’m not defending Sheeran here, merely also expressing my distaste for the rest of the players in this horrible situation.

I get it, but I also think that those that benefit the most from our society, have a larger butden than most when it comes to speaking up about these issues.

Ed Sheeran has enough money, and has enough resources that he could take a stand himself. I could give it more of a pass had it not been for the him saying Macklemore’s words were offensive to some. I’ve heard what he said and it’s very clear it’s a supportive and positive message.

It’s a tough situation without a doubt, and in any other times it would be not a big deal. But man, what a shit state the world is in where standing up against dead kids is an offensive message that could end a music tour.

It’s not aggression, it’s deep regret, sadness and desperation for some humanity in the world.

50/50 imho. No shit he was going to get pushback in this toxic political climate. But instead of standing up for his friend and what’s right, dude just capitulated while using their own propagandized language against Macklemore.

I’m guessing parts of him are. Dollars to donuts he’s a vegetable.

I don’t play games anymore, but if I do, I’ll go back to my teenage ways 🏴‍☠️

Jebus, I really hate my dad, but I can’t imagine being musks daughter and seeing ol’ dad spend 100 million on hating your own kid.

No way that man builds a statue to anyone but himself. I guarantee the design will change.
