In case you’re wondering how St Paul Police could ever treat their own residents like they did yesterday look at this unhinged statement from who the officers elect as their leaders.

The nonviolent moment was *not* peaceful.
The point was to draw out state violence, and be willing to face batons, water cannons, jail, and worse.
And Martin Luther King still got shot in the head— other civil rights leaders assassinated.
And now, civil rights progress is being rolled back.

One central lesson of 1960s civil rights protests is that activists can “dramatize injustice” through strategic “narrative construction,” essentially creating compelling stories in the media with clear heroes and villains. More in this thread: bsky.app/profile/owas...

I swear I will stop posting about Gen AI today, but as a final point, if the appeal to a person is that Gen AI gives them a final product that makes them feel like an artist, they do not understand art. Art is *the process* of creation, not the final product. I pity anyone who forgoes that joy.
"My parents couldn't make me a musician but AI can" is about as perfect as can be.
Pre 2000, Virtually every incredibly talented musician in rock & blues has a story of saving for a crappy instrument, learning by sitting in their bedroom playing to records, & playing terrible gigs for no money

All AI music does is devalue the work done by human artists. It’s not accessibility, it’s exploitation. We need real protections for artists against AI!
BTW — even if you had access to this AI startup as a child, you still wouldn’t know how to make music.

This is an intense feeling that everyone hates you.
