Bones is an AI creation created by a shadowy agency linked to a far-right political party backed by the world’s richest man. An investigation by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism has uncovered links between the operation behind the persona and Ben Habib’s party Advance UK. Experts believe this is the first time an AI character has been linked to a political party, and say Bones is a concerning sign of things to come.

Did y'all listen to it? It's so artless. The music sucks. The videos are so blatantly AI. The comments are all just bland performative engagement meat-riding BS. It's totally engineered. It's SLOPAGANDA!

UK rappers such as Skepta and Stormzy accustomed me to technique, wordplay, sometimes uplifting and other times deadly serious but lively lyrics, and catchy beats. They move me, they inspire me to play with rhymes and samples. Right-wing "AI" prompting seems to take everything fun away from rap music and channel the art form straight into /dev/null. Their character is speaking of a downfall for UK culture when he's the downfall.

Part of fascism that people often overlook is reducing everything to an aesthetic, and something I notice about the Bones slopaganda is how it clothes itself in the working class and anti-establishment look and feel, while blatantly being a sleek corporate product with a pro-establishment agenda. It's galling.

Fetterman was conservative before the brain damage, but I don’t disagree with the general statement.

I guess you make an AI slop song and video about it, called "Throwing Milkshakes at Dickheads" or something suchlike.

I hope Shane Meadows sues whoever made this for the misuse of "This Is England", his film about how working class struggle and disaffection with modern society gets co-opted by the far right.

It's not like the far-right actually have any good ideas. Of courses they're going to take a documentary on the struggles of the average Brit and then point and blame non-billionaire minorities. That's their only tactic; well besides creating chaos and violence, but that's a given with the parasite class.

Since this is an AI-generated creation, hypothetically speaking, couldn't someone take this character and generate more AI clips of him? Say speaking fluent Russian or Chinese, praying to Satan, or having sex with barn animals? Crying as he gets a vaccine shot. Maybe show his non-singing voice as a posh, high falsetto. Pretty much anything they want?

And if someone did, wouldn't they be in the clear, since AI can't be copyrighted? I'm asking as someone interested in social aspects of this tech.

Getting makeup tips from VP Maybelline, while doing an over-the-top Little Richard imitation and singing "Ya done started out doin' those things you used to do."

Maybe show his non-singing voice as a posh, high falsetto.

I'm thinking more Kenneth Williams than Tiny Tim. Full-on Julian and Sandy Polari-slinging camp.

Excellent film, by the way. That, and Scum, give a good look at the joys of growing up in London in the late 70s/early 80s (though This Is England flashes back to the early 80s, whereas Scum was made in 1979).

OK, before the additional brain damage, conservatism itself being a cause of brain damage.
