Stop treating genAI CEOs in good faith. Flailing dweebs like Mikey Schulman of Suno are people that took one college art/music elective and gave up while watching those that understood the basis of social norms succeed. They don’t get people so they don’t get “it” and they’re aggrieved as a result. - ThreadSky

These fuckin guys

Every single one of them is an incurious dipshit with no internal life that lacks the theory of mind to comprehend other people can experience non-material joy

It’s funny and sad that these guys think they are democratizing music by eliminating the challenge/skill/creative process, when actually democratizing music would involve giving people subsidized access to instruments/lessons/classes.

People who hate human expression and hate themselves are in the driving seat at these companies.

This guy opens his mouth once on a podcast and gives the whole game away. They view *everything* as social friction because they are antisocial. You can’t use reason and rationality to get why ppl love simple 3 chord songs about heartbreak or friendship, you either instinctively know or you don’t.

It’s the ultimate revenge. Dude with guitar has more friends than me so I’m going to make it infinitely harder for this guy to live off his craft by selling the lowest common denominator product to the lowest common denominator buyers until that’s normalized across the board.

Whether it be Schulman talking about his hatred for music or Zucc talking about why he looks like my drug dealer, you don’t need to be a psychologist to see these are inarticulate chodes who feeling comfy telegraphing their insecurities bc they’re surrounded by yes men who want their money.

i have a hard time convincing ppl of an older generation of this kind of behavior.. like, i 100% agree w ur assessment but the point I always try and make to ppl is that whether they’re aware of this internal transaction or not, they’re fully operating on this misanthropic level

not sure I believe every tech bro like this is acting lucidly nefarious, but all it takes is setting a precedent and a few “positive angles” for ppl like this to justify what they’re doing. if it scratches that social maladjustment itch, they’ll build their whole temple there

the biggest problem is the path that these industries have resultantly laid out to lead ppl with these social issues into a position where they can colonize to fill their personal void. super horrifying villain pipeline

If they weren’t worth 10+ digits I would feel bad for them, the distinction here is the class and power dynamic that actually calls the shots.
