too tired to be tough

also it goes by so fast but I'm obsessed with Louis talking about how back when the FIRST SINGLE sold out in pre sale when people hadn't heard it yet he realized that people were as or more invested in THEM than in the music and that he could use that, that it meant they could do more interesting things and push what they were, which of course shaped EVERYTHING to come and everything we've always celebrated, Louis as the force behind moving them creatively to being more than just a manufactured generic pop act and there he is talking about the genesis moment of that, that's so important to me personally

being so staunchly anti generative ai while everyone around you is "i used chatgpt" and "i asked grok" and google search is useless and every company is implementing ai and every single celeb is taking ai money and partnering with ai is like... it's so jarring. why can't you see the harm like i can? why are you so lazy? why are we making society this stupid? can we please stop? it's killing people does that not matter to you?

HAPPY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
