Well, I even did „countertenorish” stuff on the chorus. All tracks recorded by me, music and lyrics obviously too. It’s ok to do a little show off sometimes.

Yesterday, 2 schoolchildren were shot and the shooter died. Kids suffer so much violence. And it's dismissed by the adults who could change that.

Research integrity needs a kindness agenda or we will lose ECRs

Here are some of the things @prismreports.org does to verify whether a pitch or piece is AI-generated (I hope this is helpful for others):
1. AI pieces and pitches all kind of look the same, and they're structured the same:

The only legitimate reason to still be on Twitter/X is if you are doing research on misinformation and extremism.
As someone who has stopped using Twitter ~3 years ago, after having been on it daily for the prior 16 years, it is *so* clear how much the current hateful and extreme state of the platform warps the views of its users, and NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT. I see the effect so much working in tech.
These people are so unaware of being personally influenced by constantly immersing themselves in a firehose blast of Nazi propaganda that she doesn't even list that as one of the considerations www.theargumentmag.com/p/we-have-to...
