the sense of horror when you finish a book that was Ass Bad and you go to see what fellow haters are saying but all the reviews say it is the best thing they’ve ever read. feel like i just saw my reflection in the mirror move all by itself or something
guy on tiktok pointed out some billionaire bunker plans have STAFF like they dream of a post apocalyptic future where they’re still being waited on by people. goodbye. imagine having to work in someone’s bunker i’m fucking killing all of us 😃
Some people have run thought experiments on this wherein when those bunkers actually go into use, the (class) status of everyone inside effectively means nothing. If you have a staff or security detail with you in the bunker, as soon as those doors are locked you are getting jumped and ripped to shreds unless you have some INSANE high-tech contingencies that run on pure fantasy.
“Finally, the CEO of a brokerage house explained that he had nearly completed building his own underground bunker system, and asked: “How do I maintain authority over my security force after the event?” The event. That was their euphemism for the environmental collapse, social unrest, nuclear explosion, solar storm, unstoppable virus, or malicious computer hack that takes everything down.
This single question occupied us for the rest of the hour. They knew armed guards would be required to protect their compounds from raiders as well as angry mobs. One had already secured a dozen Navy Seals to make their way to his compound if he gave them the right cue. But how would he pay the guards once even his crypto was worthless? What would stop the guards from eventually choosing their own leader?
The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew. Or making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for their survival. Or maybe building robots to serve as guards and workers – if that technology could be developed “in time”.”
It’s Vocaloid. They used software to make the song, same as we’ve been using software to make music at home for over two and a half decades. Some modern programs for doing this let you tell the software what to sing, and the vocals are made from a voice bank sourced from paid artists who signed up to make the voice bank because they wanted to. It’s not fucking. Autogenerated by chatgpt or something.
I’m pointing this out because “ai” means like sixteen different things and these days if you say something is AI everyone assumes it’s autogenerated dross created in the least ethical way they can think of. In this case, it just means they made a cool animation and wrote a cool song and happened to use a voice synthesiser for the song.
honestly thank you for this because i had not unmuted, i just thought this was an annotated chess demo that went hard
I just watched this on mute and it’s hilarious because without the song there is absolutely no context for why the visuals go that hard
