Probably whatever George Orwell wrote after he picked up a gun and fought on their behalf.

I think there are risks:

- AI pricing is variable, probably the cheapest it will ever be right now

- AI produces a lot more shit for humans to review, and you will always need humans. If you don’t focus on keeping things simple you will probably play yourself unless you’re good at separating out blast radiuses.

- I see a lot of super low quality work that doesn’t solve the problem but it’s like look that guy solved the problem in one day! Promote him! Everyone is happy except for the end users who for whatever reason are being totally ignored (whose problem it fails to appropriately solve) and I saw this in accounting software so…hello eventual lawsuits?

I don’t think this is true. I think it’s a beginner musician attitude (due to branding) but musicians often grow out of it.

I would never get a fender for quality / value reasons. Some of them look cool; which may be why they want to sue.

But the quality of the instrument and the sound is too important to me personally.

To me 3K is the most i’ve paid for an instrument, and I gig with two <600$ guitars.

Difference between the capitalism our parents had vs us. They had taxes on the rich. So they could afford homes and retire and never needed 3 jobs to scrape by. In fact one job was enough to afford a home and a family.

Massive wealth redistribution is just another word for Taxes.

When we taxed the rich we were happy. It’s literally all we gotta do.

People selling drugs bit is not true. No one gets addicted bc the sellers. They get addicted because of the conditions of their own lives.

With the exception of medicinally. Like lost op painkillers. But that’s different than what you’re saying.

No reason why my neighbor shouldn’t be able to afford health care for his sick mother.

In other words, no reason why all the wealth needs to be hoarded at the top. It needs to be shared. Otherwise good people are suffering needlessly.

Really very cruel and heartless to just be transferring wealth instead of allowing it to circulate.
