#WeArePartOfBangtan
Hello ^^
I'm the statue from the BS&T MV :3
Yup, I've been blessed with a kiss from Mr. Worldwide Handsome, that's why you can see me crying green tears in the end 😄

Every artist, whether BTS or Bad Bunny, deserves access to the largest market without being filtered out or qualified. The solution isn't about getting rid of special markets or categories. Folk, for example, is a real thing, and if it benefits folk to have discrete awards and institutions, great. It's pop that needs to be examined, because pop is the biggest market and yet admission to it still seems largely subjective.
Artists and their managers should scrutinize record companies for the way they exclude artists from their pop departments. Labels and artists should challenge playlisters at streaming services and radio station programmers about how they wield the term "pop" for some but not for others. The Recording Academy should stop inventing new award categories, especially ones based on ethnicity, nationality or language, when people aren't asking for them every division separates its occupants from the larger, more profitable market. And if those Pop Performance awards or pop playlists cannot be defined musically or aesthetically, perhaps they shouldn't exist.

🐱 “What's the big deal about the tattoo?
Why do you keep on asking me to show you?”
🐱 “Here, here, here, here. Here it is! Here it is.”
🐱 “Here it is. Here.” 💪🫠
🐯: When I posted on Weverse asking people not to come looking for us outside our hotels, honestly, about 90 out of 100 people...
🐯: Even if ARMY happens to see us out on the street, they just pretend they haven't noticed us.
🐯: They seem to want us to make as many memories as we can in their country, so they simply act like they didn't see us and keep walking.
🐯: Some of them even deliberately avert their eyes when we cross paths. It makes us feel so grateful that we're the ones who end up saying hello first: “Hi, “Have a good day."
🐯: Sometimes we'll even shake hands.
🐯: Moments like that are so heartwarming. So we're the ones who thank them.
🐯: One time, we were even walking down the same street. We said, "Bye-bye," but it turned out we were both headed in the exact same direction, so that was pretty funny
One of my favorite things to see about the surprise song is how ARMY recognizes them in 1 second, with the first note/chord.
Either BCD trained us well or we REALLY, REALLY listen to BTS music.
Those brandishing the bot allegations can kiss my a$$.
you think you see bts and it’s like wow great check that off the list I saw bts! but actually you see bts and you immediately start thinking about when you can see bts again
ai has been a thing for years btw. generative ai with open ai is the main problem. i think you guys are getting stumped and don’t know the difference. all generative ai is ai but not all ai is generative ai. you have to know the difference i beg !
As someone working in tech I can assure you that there are plenty of things that can be done to make AI tools safer, more efficient, and less harmful across all areas of impact - and none of the big companies are doing any of them.
when first apps came out and governments had a chance to regulate their operations, they did nothing. instead of limiting this field to really helping people where necessary, ppl in power chose profit and i believe ai won’t be the only area of such behavior in future :/
small thread for more context on ai: while there is “ethical” and useful ai in certain fields, gemini unfortunately doesn’t fall in that category and is infact GenAi. it actively drains natural resources to generate responses or create images/videos etc. this makes it harmful
@Raya_for_BTS Artists are losing their jobs, there's deepfakes and fake news all over the Web because generative ai has basically has no regulations. As it currently stands, supporting generative ai is more harmful than anything as long as there are no solutions to the problems it causes
@Raya_for_BTS I agree that we have to review problems and make sure to work on those. As it stands, generative ai specifically is trained on stolen data, data centers steal land and water, it's managed by greedy people who just want to make money. +
no more dream and paradise being played in the wake of the bts not submitting to the grammys really hit differently 🥺
"hey you, what is your dream?"
"a dream doesn't have to be anything grand"
we can outgrow dreams and dream new ones
Remember there was a time when Jungkook didn't even know "Paradise" existed?
🐰: I see a lot of paradise! Is this a song? Do we have a song called paradise? 😭
