In another episode of "X isn't real life"... Looks like the vast majority of Ember's audience do not care at all about the surprise reveal. Many people seemed to have already known... which, if you are a viewer of his, I'm not sure how you could "NOT" have known. Others also don't care because they see VTubing as acting, or they are just there for the content, opinions, etc and not about their gender. One interesting thing about the X algorithm, ever since it's been changed to the transformer model, is that it often not only amplifies the most controversial take, even if it's factually wrong, but also creates a simulacrum of opinions that forms an echo chamber... so much so that it can cause genuine psychosis if you don't touch grass. Engagement-optimized systems create an addictive feedback loop where the strongest opinions, regardless of their truthfulness, create an atmosphere of consensus that is sometimes divorced from reality. His profile also has Babiniku, which is an overt admission that they are a guy... something that was added recently. Their controversial books were not hidden either, with an explicit link to their Amazon page displayed on their Twitch page... a past that was evidently not a secret. If you ever feel like you are going insane doomscrolling X, that's the reason. The algorithm keeps feeding on the takes that create the strongest emotional reaction. Then that information gets amplified with the game of telephone, with stronger, sometimes wrong takes overlaid on top until the real information is lost. Now at this point, I don't have a clue what is "real" and what isn't, or whether he is trans or not. At worst, he said, "I don't know," and that when he isn't streaming, he is just "normal"... or whether he was genuinely being deceptive/lying, or people just "assumed" and got out of control. I also received communication by DM from someone who claims that Ember said that they were a guy back in 2024. But I CANNOT find that tweet anywhere; either it's fabricated, or it was deleted before it was archived. There are also posts around where he claimed to be a woman, explicitly. So did he lie? Probably? And that's wrong. TLDR: the X algorithm is genuinely insane... and is a lesson here is that to do your due diligence OUTSIDE of X to get a reality check.

Suno is limiting downloads, basically making a lot of the songs you make locked in their 'walled garden'. One of their main competitors, Udio, did the same thing after a settlement with UMG that restricts any downloads. This is 100% an injunction from the music labels who want to limit the "damage" that AI does to the profitability of music. There are two viable alternatives... >Minimax music 3.0. It is currently free to use up to 500 songs a day as long as your account qualifies for beta testing their music model, which should be anyone. It is a closed-weight model, but there are no restrictions on what you download and how much you download. The music quality is not as good as Udio or Suno, but it's pretty close overall, and it can understand very complex prompts to guide music generation. >Open-source music is not a very good alternative... but right now SongGeneration-LeVo2 is the best AI music model that's open-source right now. The music I put on the post is one such generation that I created on my PC. The problem is that it's hard to use. The comfyUI version requires installation on a separate portable install, specific transformer and flash attention versions, and additional libraries installed. The required models and checkpoints are scattered around Hugging Face, and some of the links from the original repo are dead. There are not many English guides, and most of the training data is in Chinese, so it struggles with English lyrics. To some extent, the demand for music generation isn't that high, compared to images and videos, so overall not many alternatives are around.

> 62% of women reported having rape fantasy > The fantasies are erotic in nature > Dark romance is about 82% of female readers > These books are exploding in popularity > Women find high agency and high-dominance men hot Meanwhile, the same women are protesting against the men they find hot. Why? It's because opposition to the "patriarchy" is an easy virtue signal social currency they can cash in with all these girl groups. What everyone should do is just ignore these women who have compartmentalized views that are in direct contradiction to each other. The more a society listens to these kinds of women, the more it falls into chaos, because their ideas and thoughts are about as shallow as a pond, and they never thought about it deeply. Then they encounter a "male beta" who is low agency, low dominance, and low confidence, and these women reject them. Then later on, they date the hot, confident male and marry them. When it comes to women... revealed preference beats stated preference every single time!

Canadian soy beta male content creator Mtashed continues to crash out as he unprivates his YouTube video library after privating everything. Then he makes another ill-advised rant video with a legendary scale, fem-coded emotional freak out, lacking in any real receipts that back his side. His comments section is hilarious, with everyone mocking him, and supportive comments are few and far between. This video blames everyone else except himself, including Tectone, Hexjuice, and Asmongold. Just more smarmy framing acting like "everyone" is a hypocrite, while skirting accountability and framing himself as a victim, like a toxic woman. And the massive cope, acting like he is financially set for life, and he could just walk away... yet he doesn't. Massive midlife crisis in real time. No way this isn't bleeding into his private life; his ego won't let it go. I wonder what his wife and kids think of this... His supporters are barely there, doing the bare minimum effort to hit "like" on the video, while ghosting the comments section, being too cowardly to enter the arena.
