Much love.... to the Qadiani/Ahmadiyya community!!!




The coolest scene in ANIME, of the MUGEN... a man of RIZZ. His own Rizz!! Featuring the music of Ikue Asazaki and Akira Takahashi, a HAUNTING song called "Obokuri-Eeumi". Mugen and Ikue are Ryukyujin (that is, native Okinawans). Who else was an Okinawan? That's right, Mr. Miyagi!

Short answer: No. The main vocalist is a real one. She's one of the vocalists that got left behind because she was "too old" to be marketed. But this one is totally real.

Long answer: Oooooooo I'm so scared about how this next generation is going to view and appreciate music....and to a larger extent, life. I guess every generation feels similarly, but the rate at which tech is growing...definitely exceeds our mental capacity to understand and digest those changes....Anyhow...Here are my questions: 1) What is "art? and who defines what is good or not?" 2) How is an AI produced track any different than a track produced by someone who has studied the history of music?". 3) If you dig deep enough, will you'll realize that all music is finite?

AI can maybe answer all 3 questions. The big corps are trying to answer it now thru youtube, spotify, etc.,

I've thought about this for a long time and ...*mind blown*.... (I've got no answers)

Why do we all love "pop music". Is there a reason why we love these same 4 chords? Or are these specific frequencies/tones just a way to control our minds? lol.

Why is it a near universal truth that the 5-1 interval feels satisfying, homey, and safe?

Lots of questions...

But if I close my eyes...I love this song "Golden". Lyrics, melody and harmony hit the spot. Thoughts?

Yes brother we will be as friends uniting the rizz of the Qadiani/Ahmadiyya community with the rizz of their cousins, the Ryukyujin, of which Mr. Miyagi is a part!

The Philosopher Immanuel Kant (pronounced "****") said that the aesthetic experience is the result of free-play between the faculty of imagination and the faculty of understanding. Art, as it is perceived, is the ability of an external object to arouse these feelings in us. The aesthetic experience, then, will progress, just as one's faculties of imagination and understanding can exist in varying degrees of power. Supposing that one uses these faculties to produce music, the output of the LLM and the human being will not be discernible from one another when they are imagining things the same way, understanding things the same way.

Personally, I believe that the capacity of LLMs will always lag behind human being in a sense because the human being's cognitive faculties are as much embodied as they are un-embodied; the organized sound-waves that move our soul will resonate to the degree to which our physical being is in harmony with our emotional, mental, imaginal (distinct from imagination!), and higher-order spiritual beings. We will always find affinity with the one who articulates, from a place of familiarity, where we are at. In a way that's familiar. The LLM, by definition, will not know what it's like to have human experience unless it's fed to it as an input for the model, but that's different from living it as a biological being.

Another point: I mentioned how music is just "organized sound-waves". Our mind and body resonate with certain outputs created by human beings and now LLMs. These are sound-waves created by instruments (or their similacrum) which strike us as particularly moving. But this distinction is somewhat arbitrary: one can have aesthetic experiences from the sound of the waves... from our recollections of our father's voice months after he has passed... from the sound of kids excitedly crossing the street to get to school... some even speak of the Symphony of the Stars; I am sure that the radio-waves produced by celestial beings is incredibly awe-inspiring.

The rizz of art lies in the rizz of the aesthetic experience! The rizz of the aesthetic experience resides in the rizz of the faculties! The rizz of the faculties resides in the rizz of the HUMAN experience!
