General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
Since this is an AI-generated creation, hypothetically speaking, couldn't someone take this character and generate more AI clips of him? Say speaking fluent Russian or Chinese, praying to Satan, or having sex with barn animals? Crying as he gets a vaccine shot. Maybe show his non-singing voice as a posh, high falsetto. Pretty much anything they want?
And if someone did, would't they be in the clear, since AI can't be copyrighted? I'm asking as someone interested in social aspects of this tech.
Please do all these things.
Did y'all listen to it? It's so artless. The music sucks. The videos are so blatantly AI. The comments are all just bland performative engagement meat-riding BS. It's totally engineered. It's SLOPAGANDA!
SLOPAGANDA
This is a sick af band name.
UK rappers such as Skepta and Stormzy accustomed me to technique, wordplay, sometimes uplifting and other times deadly serious but lively lyrics, and catchy beats. They move me, they inspire me to play with rhymes and samples. Right-wing "AI" prompting seems to take everything fun away from rap music and channel the art form straight into /dev/null. Their character is speaking of a downfall for UK culture when he's the downfall.
Part of fascism that people often overlook is reducing everything to an aesthetic, and something I notice about the Bones slopaganda is how it clothes itself in the working class and anti-establishment look and feel, while blatantly being a sleek corporate product with a pro-establishment agenda. It's galling.
I hope Shane Meadows sues whoever made this for the misuse of "This Is England", his film about how working class struggle and disaffection with modern society gets co-opted by the far right.
It's not like the far-right actually have any good ideas. Of courses they're going to take a documentary on the struggles of the average Brit and then point and blame non-billionaire minorities. That's their only tactic; well besides creating chaos and violence, but that's a given with the parasite class.
Ben Habib’s party Advance UK
The founder of the racist party was born in pakistan.
He should start by deporting himself
How do you throw virtual milkshake at an AI rapper?
Gaah they got us this time
Nah this is just another John Fetterman admitting brain damage makes you conservative.
Bones proves the best maga rap is still ai slop.
edit: OIC this is UK. Same shit different head.
Fetterman was conservative before the brain damage, but I don’t disagree with the general statement.
I guess you make an AI slop song and video about it, called "Throwing Milkshakes at Dickheads" or something suchlike.
Yeah, the future fucking sucks, turn it back.
