I hear you - I'm the one who posted it in the first place.

To be fair, they did keep the fact that it's AI as quiet as possible.

And the thing is, it's still awesome. I'm still watching it and still enjoying it.

And I'm not quite sure what to make of that...

That's what I suspect, and not just an AI band, but an AI festival with an entire bill of AI bands.

But I still haven't found anything to verify that - there's little hints scattered through the comments, like references to "creators" and such, and a notable lack of coverage anywhere else. And, the more I've paid attention, a suspicious sameness to the audience. And there's a band elsewhere on the bill - on one of the festival compilations - that looks like five vtubers just pulled straight out of their streams and rendered with instruments.

It's disappointing. I still think the song is excellent, but my enthusiasm for it sort of dried up and blew away somewhere along the way.

It's not the artificiality - I've been listening to and watching vocaloids since the Miku Black Rock Shooter days, so virtual musicians don't bother me. It's the apparent deliberate attempt to hide what they are.

And actually, thinking about it, I could see a Teto version of that song...

Criminalizing homelessness isn't an end in itself - it's the means to an end.

The desired end is to turn the US into a nation of peasants, in which those not of the billionaire class will only have two "choices" - to be wage slaves to the billionaires, or to go to prison and be literal slaves to the billionaires.

Undoubtedly, but it was never meant to convince anyone other than Trump, because Trump is a delusional narcissist, so if he believes something, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or says.

The US is stuffed to the rafters with blinkered fools who fail/refuse to face that fact, much less the plainly obvious consequences of it, but Israel isn't similarly hamstrung - they know full well that it just doesn't matter how obvious their lies are - if they can get Trump to repeat them, their job is done.

There is not and never has been any expectation that people will actually meet the work requirement.

The expectation from the very beginning, and in fact the exact point, is that people will fail to meet it, and therefore be denied, and therefore die.

The goal is to establish a society in which those who cannot or will not serve to enrich the oligarchs will be systematically culled.
