Accountability in Music II • Page 28

What is a skin chameleon?

 

The new villain of the SAW franchise

 

He’s been on reddit defending himself it’s been a messy situation

 

They had a different version posted earlier but removed it. Very weird.

 

Raygun from Chat Pile posted an IG story about Nothing using AI throughout this video

 

placing bets on how long it takes him to go back to anti semitism again

 

He also announced a live performance in Mexico in January

 

If he could go one album cycle without saying something terrible that would be the biggest shock

 

We don’t need another album cycle or anything from Kanye ever again

 

He would not put out a video of himself apologizing/asking for forgiveness if he didn't have something to sell

 

The absolute best case scenario, and this would never ever happen, is that he's genuinely remorseful, carries that with him for the rest of his life, learns and supports the community until the day he dies, and does all of this without bringing additional attention to himself because the we have collectively evolved past the need for a Kanye West

The only thing I would ever "want" from him again, and this will also never happen, is him using his platform to denounce fascism and warn as many people about why it's so dangerous. But I would also never trust him to speak on that clearly, and considering most of his remaining fans have to be alt-right-adjacent, I don't even know how effective that would be.

 

I think there are very few Kanye rollouts that happen without him doing something controversial to piss people off. He’s just addicted to it at this point.

Maybe MBDTF was the only one that didn’t and that was mostly because it was an apology album for the Taylor Swift controversy, as well as him grieving, dealing with a breakup and being somewhere secluded with people that cared about him. The rest always needed him doing or saying something (usually) awful to get attention.

 

MBDTF had him getting on Twitter which wasn’t controversial but was definitely him starting to draw extra attention to himself regularly

 

how do they recreate their vision without AI? it looks expensive. although i hate chatgpt, i also don't know anything about AI or what's wrong with using it for stuff like this.

 

Pay a real person to come close like everyone else has done for the history of music videos

 

you find another idea then, man. come on.

 

Actively killing Minnesota's water supply because they couldn't be fucked with being actually creative for a music video

 

To piggy back off of this - Generative AI uses a lot of server resources. More technical resources means more power used. More power used means more water needed to cool down the servers. More power + more water = increased resources. When a big ass data center uses up all of these resources, it also concentrates the runoff waste which goes back into the community (See Memphis). Additionally, more power used means a less reliable power-grid. Using generative AI is a death punch to the environment and with that comes the downstream effects that directly impact communities. That being said, I do know that both Azure (microsoft) and Google data centers are aiming to be carbon & water neutral plus powered by renewables by 2030, but I'm not holding my breath... much easier said than done. Plus that's a small sample size of the overall AI data centers.

Also pay a fucking artist.

 

i thought the water comment was a joke. i also thought AI was just typing shit into a website to make a video.

 

But did you not think of *how* the video gets made lol

 

no.

 

Hey, appreciate the honesty tbh. I have run into a lot of people IRL who don't really know anything about the environmental impact of AI, or simply don't make the connection until you have the conversation with them. We all have to learn somehow.

 

TLDR; the AI engine has to search millions of references from its own database learning model based on your prompt and then compiles that into an image or video. When creating a whole music video using AI, you're going to have lots of trial and error which constantly feeds the model data. Plus you have the length aspect. It takes a lot of processing power for a 10 second slop video, so something at this scale in such high quality will be very resource heavy.

 

i've never looked into it because that wouldn't have ever even been a thought and i've never seen anyone post about that anywhere online until now. all i see is "pay the artist" but it makes sense now.
