Sure, I’ve been there, I’m still there some days, it’s a lot of hard work to push yourself and find your redeeming qualities when you feel like you don’t have any, or keep trying when you feel like you fail every time, or feel like you sabotage yourself every time you get something going right. If that’s a step it’s great I’m just saying, don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Well that does sound better, as long as it’s not completely dependent on another persons approval, that’s kinda asking for trouble.

“I only care about myself when someone else cares about me” is not particularly healthy.

Thanks for the deep dive, yeah that seems really suspicious, the pdf of that study definitely looks like it was paid for by someone with an agenda. I feel like anyone who’s up for taking a survey on AI is already into AI so it’s pretty skewed. I suppose one thing from that study did make some sense:
Many people who are using AI relationship technologies report that they prefer AI communication over engaging with a real person in a genuine relationship.
Sure, everyone loves a sycophant who hangs on their every word and agrees with them all the time… for a while at least.

- Comment on "The hope is to have a fresh 'Star Trek' movie, though [Paramount] has moved on from the idea of bringing back Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and the rest of the ensemble from the J.J. Abrams reboot." 1 week ago:
The spirit of Star Trek is incompatible with Paramount’s new MAGA politics, it will be ruined.

Oof that’s super disheartening, I never really entered those contests because I feared it was the same. My music is pretty weird as it is I don’t really want to put it up against more ear friendly stuff lol. I feel like people are all watching the same youtube videos and getting the same tips or using the same tutorials and/or sample packs and projects or presets. DAWs are awesome in that they’ve made music making accessible to literally anyone but they’ve also made it easy to make a lot of music that sounds the same, I mean of course that was happening before computers as well, but it still take some effort to be a cover band.

not if they want to earn any money, I just make music for myself now tbh

I was never really a fan because Gene Simmons always seemed like such a douchebag to me but they had some catchy tunes, maybe a bit too obsessed with sex, but can’t deny their place in rock history I suppose, RIP dude.
