I don’t. I went to a wedding a couple weeks ago and “playfully” tore into a bunch of old friends who work for a variety of vile corporations, including on creating AI software, including AI software that generates music. I am a musician. I literally asked a dude I grew up with to his face if he knows he’s the bad guy.

So yea, I don’t stay happy and I don’t stay nice. Polite, yes. I don’t shout at people and throw stuff, but I definitely don’t protect people from the reality and consequences of their choices.

And I was literally in the minority there. This event was in my home country and I attended one of the best high-schools there. Most of those people will be filthy rich and even more disconnected a decade from now (I’m 31) I went on to go to a good university too, just like they did. Met a lot of important people. Decided to opt out of “industry” and stay indie even though I had opportunities. Whatever they’ve done is on them. They’re not unaware.
