Searching For A Save Point (Continued...): "Contemptuos Content" (short film)
runtime: 9 minutes Dialog / Audio - pulled from a video from 2020 & A freestyle from 2021 collaged with layer footage taken recently.
Consistency in spreading love, tenacity across of time of being values over value driven and a very very multi-decade consistency in condemning inauthentic, artificially hyped, broken / rigged systems....
They have always existed since the beginning of time, I went more in depth in the description section of this video on my I.G. @peacepeacegawd if you're curious.
For decades it was fairly easy to both acknowledge bullsh*t, while also choosing not participate or give attention to zerosum / dark pattern energy, and just focus on positive ripples and productivity.
Algorithms are too engrained to ignore, or brush off... Nothing has changed on my end except the time and energy and consistency i've sunk into multiple platforms has only increased while my ability to reach, meaningfully connect and create impact has just trend to zero.
not just myself...
I'm not anti AI, I personally aren't interested in using it as a tool for music personally... The long path and hands on process is what I find purpose and joy in... But for those pretending it's just a tool, or it's the punk thing to be trailblazing... you're very much being dismissive of how it's already been and will be used (in creative / multiple media) to game / over saturate and push out real humans who are already suffering existential crisis of dark pattern broken algorithms at every level of distribution and connection...
It's naive to think A.I. isn't going to be around in the future, or have value... and it's just as dumb to blanket hate on A.I. just cus you see those around hate it, just like it's equally as dumb and disappointing to pretend those that don't participate early are going to get left behind (In terms of creative fields)
while I agree, even creative A.I. as a tool can be used the same as anything, collaging, layering, etc etc... I don't think those experimenting with adding into their workflow are brave, punk or trailblazers... It's just a tool that takes less effort to execute... Comparisons of A.I. to subjects like music created using computers verses instruments is f**king cope by losers who haven't mastered their craft well enough to manipulate and turn anything into an instrument....
I personally don't care who uses a.i. for anything. I care about the same things I always have.. getting lost in the process, meaningful human connection, tiny ripples, and paying things forward.... but I also care about condemning and pushing back against the same things I always have...
Lemme give some examples: SOUND.XYZ - was tainted from beginning, when onboarded I was pressured to focus on hype / sales... I knew immediately they weren't for me, so instead I just focused my positive energy elsewhere.
Where this changed is the same reason I loudly pushed back on Zora, and the same pattern is now happening with A.I.
Both sound and zora completely changed their platforms and removed organic discovery, while at the same time they botted and rigged and controlled the distribution of attention.....
Again, if it remained at this... I would have kept it moving....
Here is what I can't just ignore....
The public promotion, and hyped narrative being loudly broadcasted with false hope claims meant to extract... Inauthentic, bad faith lies.... My entire life has been sacrificed dedicated to both creating meaning impact as an artist through creative culture and equally, if not more giving back, supporting, lifting, teaching and championing other creatives....
how can you hate on me for that?
it's crazy how much love and support I gave to the web3 creatives not performative, but because I truly know what it feels like, so I did my best to make sure even if a little, many people felt seen/heard and valued...
yet somehow I ended up as the blacksheep, no friends, no benefits, stuck in a world of algorithms watching everyone support and lift each other while not acknowledging anything I put out or say in this world...
I bravely trailblazed blockchain prolifically AF....
So to see the same conviction that was abandoned just shifting to the next shiny thing that most people outside of the same bubble have real concern about....
It's hard not to be Contemptuous
was any of the conviction and mission about why everyone said they pivoted to blockchain actually real? cus it's hard not to see the pivot into champion the end game tech that nearly completely removes humans being in process.
