"Pablo's Hippos" by Primus, featuring Maynard James Keenan (unofficial video, AI generated)

[@billyalarie929]

I don’t think any of us ever saw it coming but we always wanted it

[@snarlz]

They used AI instead of helping a video production company with people who need jobs. And it's not weird in a cool way, it's just weird.

[@whtchocolate7997]

​@@snarlz Right there in the description it says "unofficial video" meaning the uploader created the video for the song. Not Primus, Maynard, or anyone associated with them. It even says it's a fanmade video.

[@snarlz]

@@whtchocolate7997 I'm not sure that was called out as clearly before. I'm any event moved on with life. I still think AI shouldn't be used to 'create' art. Research, sure, solving scientific or mathematical problems, cool. But creating art? Not informing the artists, or helping as a tool, but being the creative hand? It's dehumanizing, and will have negative consequences eventually

[@acronhym]

Yeah, it sucks when people stop handing you piles of money to touch a fader or a button. I think the ai zooms are better than most things Hollywood or the industry could do. Letting the artist have full control is hard for people to understand for sure. But it’s not about the engineer it’s about the sound and face which is why Les needs Maynard for a hit then he can go back to doing what he loves. I support that #artistfreedom

@@snarlz at some point, things cost money, and that’s inevitable. Musicians in particular get effed by the record companies, and they actually don’t make a lot of money. Most of the money they do make, they put back into their albums (which make no money on streaming) or their tours (which I’m sure you sit and complain the whole time if you actually attend their shows). At the end of the day, perhaps you should consider gratitude for artists who don’t actually have to keep making music, they just choose to. The public always finds a way to shit on those who create no matter how they create. I’m just grateful these talented musicians didn’t utilize AI to write the song.

[@jam1870utube]

But what does it mean? The hippos associated with Pablo Escobar are often called "cocaine hippos". The hippos refer to the four hippos that Escobar kept in his private zoo in the late 1970s. After Escobar's death in 1993, the hippos were left to roam his unattended estate. They eventually broke out of the estate and began to roam the surrounding area. By 2019, the population had grown to about one hundred hippos. The hippos are a concern because they could harm the native flora and fauna in the area, and they could also pose a threat to the human population.
