friend showed me a thread of google's newer AI video in the "heads up how that's going" way. it fixed the signs people could spot. lip sync, voices, hands are correct. no strange physics. I believe it's genuinely going to cause problems. needing to assume everything is fake introduces its own issues

Do not buy or play inzoi. Its entire look is entirely made of generative AI.
By playing it or buying it you are supporting the theft of artists.
No, there is no playing it “ironically”. No, we shouldn’t accept that “it’s everywhere now”.
Don’t engage with it. Let it rot.

man music theory is so weird I think it's really bringing out my autism 💀
it's like a repeatedly crashing into walls of "oh btw this thing is ambiguous lol it can mean either this or that based on context" and "these things have 100% overlap and we choose which one based on vibes kinda"

My crankiest belief is that we are now being sold on solutions to problems which only exist because we've let others convince us they exist. That is what "innovation" seems to be in 2025.
There's a level of introspection that's just not happening these days re: what actually needs to bother us.

Was there any coverage at all from the mainstream media about the Honey revelations?
I'm not that plugged in to The Feeds so it's a genuine question. All I've run across is various meta discussion on YouTube, here, and some indie sites.

Talked with PEGI and they do not see anything wrong Balatro being rated 18+, nor with EA sports FC (and similar games) having a 3+ rating
Blaming EU laws, blaming storefronts, waiting for the future. Sitting on their hands
